Castor-Oil-for-Eye…

Anonymous 21603[Reply]

Has anyone tried castor oil before?
3 posts omitted. Click reply to view.

Anonymous 22045

Yes. I bought castor oil “specifically” for lashes (it just comes in a mascara tube but makes application way less messy) and it helped massively with the brittleness my Revitalash serum caused. Revitalash makes my lashes grow pretty crazy long (they touch my glasses lenses now), but the castor oil is what keeps them from being brittle.

There’s no way this does anything

Yes, this worked for my eyelashes.

Anyone here successfully deal with persistent crust?

It doesn't. It makes them look nice. If you use a lot of drying products, it kind of protects them, so they might look better. Any other cooking oil would have the same effect.

Suppliment Thread Anonymous 20827[Reply]

I'm getting really into supplements recently and I honestly feel amazing on them.
My current setup is multivitamin + glutathione + NMN, and I'm thinking of adding CoQ10 next. I basically want to repair all my cells and DNA.
Any experience with these or others? Any recommendations?
Let's talk about supplements.

Decided to try using Magnesium to make up for the Mag losses that apparently happen after getting stressed and drinking caffeinated drinks.
Using the Magne B6 brand. (Magnesium Bisglycinate 400 mg + some B6 to go along with)
Feeling super sleepy but also super calm after my first pill, I'll see how it goes next. Picked bisglycinate specifically because it helps you sleep, but also because it absorbs really well.

Any other nonas using supplements?

I mean, DNA damage is real and it's a part of our aging process.
But I don't know if there are any valid supplements against this, there's a lot of "longevity" stuff being sold under the guise of sciencey stuff right now, but they seem kinda like scams.
I think you're better off taking stuff that helps you reduce stress and strain on your organism instead.

Feeling better a month later but I have no clue how much the Mag to be credited tbh.

I take vitamin b and vitamin c. Also prescription iron suppliments.

B12 and iron are a necessity (too much monthly blood loss, vegetarian diet).
Magnesium in case of insomnia, and also for dreams (it has tryptophan and L-theanine with it).
Probiotics.
Vitamins (especially D) during winter.

In the past, I have played with weird stuff in the hope of lessening the blood flow, but it just disrupted cycles and actually increased it lol.

is it just to get toned and towards weight loss/weight balance? if so this is not a bad routine. its very cardio focused but if you dont muscle growth then it probably will meet your goal. id recommend more for your push day (i do cable flys and dips with chest press) but, again, it depends on what you want to achieve (weight loss, muscle growth, toning, endurance, etc)

crackpot yet affordable ways to grow flat chest Anonymous 22283[Reply]

So..I am really flat due to genetics(my mother told me she had the same condition before she had me). I don’t know if this should go in /feels/ because it relates a lot to body dysmorphia. As much as I try to fight it, it keeps nagging at me. Anyways, I’m a brokie so some things I am thinking of trying are bee pollen if i can find it and otc menopause meds.
Nonas, do you have any other suggestions?

this might be a good idea but i think some of it relates to hormone balancing, no?

the muscle thing potentially works but i can only see it having results if you already had muscles built up there and then stopped exercising. over time, the muscles will become looser and your body will convert some of the cells.

a better idea might be topical estrogen cream, you can get it on amazon. some use it for acne.

>>22292
that stuff works because roidbros spike their t levels with anabolic steroids. when your body overloads on testosterone, it breaks down into estrogen. the same doesn't work the other way however.

Anonymous 22320

I stopped exercizing there for a while and have started again kinda accidentally because I only hit bench and squats(poor coordination and it feels badass lol). think I might be seeing some results. thanks for the plug about amazon by the way. mad appreciate it

scars Anonymous 19908[Reply]

nonas with cutting scars, how do you deal with them?

Anonymous 20343

applying glycolic acid a few times a day and then thick moisturizer/bio oil/cocoa butter. and keep them out of the sun cause it'll make them much worse

Anonymous 20496

I don't think it's worth stressing yourself out. i have pretty bad ones on my legs but eventually it gets hot enough outside that i stop giving a fuck and just wear the shorts. There is a lot of societal pressure for people to just mind their own business so even if they notice things like that they aren't gonna go through the awkwardness of bringing it up with you. I've only ever had like 2 people mention it to me in a solidarity type way which is still pretty awkward but not rude or anything.

Anonymous 20520

i have scars on my inner upper thighs, so not very noticable.
I make sure to exfoliate them more as part of my shower routine and used lemon and baking soda when they were pinker. A tattoo (whether temporary or not) is something i have been considering, probably like a robot/cyborg looking body tattoo.

Anonymous 22307

mine are almost four years old now and they're still very noticeable. i'm considering co2 laser even though it's extremely expensive.
thankfully, my boyfriend doesn't mind my scars. i remember being so scared to tell him, but he ended up just asking me what led to me hurting myself and told me he's happy i'm doing better.

Anonymous 22318

I don't think about it. i have my ex's name carved into my arm because i have a personality disorder. did that about a year ago and its still there now. i think people started treating me worse after i did it, but what am i going to do about that? i will probably get some tattoos eventually

How bad does my body look? Anonymous 22181[Reply]

I'm chubby and working on it, currently 58kg trying to reach 50kg, but I don't know if that will be enough, I fear that losing weight won't really make me look that much better since my hips are so narrow. I'm not asking if I should give up on losing weight, I'm asking how bad my body looks.

because you are a normal-looking woman who thinks she is fat. I used to do the same thing, and it took YEARS to realize they gave me body dysmorphia. You are beautiful Nona, don't let yourself get bullied into thinking you are ugly.

You are kind of fat with a weird body, but so what? Who are you being skinny for again? We both know, so be honest with yourself. The male gaze is not worth appealing to.

Anonymous 22315

I mean, in it's core, yeah, female beauty is about being appealing to men. But you have to admit it's evolved beyond that. Women don't consciously want to be beautiful only to seem appealing to men, it's a new kind of self-worth, it changes how everyone treats and sees you, including women.

my butt crack….is so dark Anonymous 22044[Reply]

My butt crack is dark and it haunts me. I don’t even want to have sex, I’m just tired of walking around knowing my butt crack skin is dark. It’s like an evil secret I want nothing to do with. I am otherwise very fair. Does anyone know how to treat this? Creams and topicals seem like a load of garbage and do almost nothing. I exfoliate my skin but that’s not going to help with pigmentation. I would assume some form of laser would work, but what kind (pico, maybe?) and what kinds of clinics would offer it for this area of the body?

Synthesizing these, letting dick cheese ferment would bleach their dick.

Partial agree here, if OP has a pale complexion, the thicker skin looks much starker than it actually is. Still, since body image is all perception and mindset, get it bleached if that'll help you not think about it anymore, nona

aren't certain parts of your skin (like your armpits and crotch) supposed to be a bit darker than the rest of your body?

Yes
Some parts are supposed to be darker like nipples and the anus and this is normal because the skin tissue is different from the rest of the body

Don't internalize porn beauty standards ffs

>>22084
Fuck that

Anonymous 22314

if this is about not appealing to the moid gaze, then let me tell you right now, some of them LOVE it.

if this is about a personal insecurity, then let me say that darkness on the butt, crotch, or armpits is normal for both sexes, and being ashamed of it is another part of racial light skin dynamics that dominate beauty culture. You are fine and normal, and spending tons of money on weird creams and topicals will not fix the problem and could even cause it to get worse if you create rough spots or cause hyperpigmentation from the inflammation.

Does anyone else feel like foundation is a total scam? Italways ends up making my face look so much heavier even thpugh I apply it lightly. I also hate when young girls slather their acne with foundation. The texture is still visible, it seems like a waste.

bad period pain Anonymous 22304[Reply]

hey nonas,
on my period right now and it hurts like FUCK. I missed an event i really wanted to go to. I can barely get out of bed with my heating pad on the highest setting. im nauseous and it hurts from my abdomen to my thighs.
Apparently ibuprofen is really bad for your liver, especially if you need to take a lot. So I started taking tylenol instead. Still hurts like a bitch. The reason I’m not taking birth control is because I am going to donate my eggs when I’m legally able to. I am thinking of consulting a doctor though, because apparently it can be symptomatic of endo.

Do you nonas know about any otc medications, teas, herbs, etc to help with bad period pain?

Anonymous 22305

you can take both ibuprofen and acetaminophen in the same day as it affects organs differently, and also you can stagger your medication doses so there is less chance to be affected by pain. i did this for post-wisdom teeth removal though, so im not sure how it is long term if you have monthly periods, but maybe it could reduce how those medications affect different organs. just a suggestion as you have both of those pills already. definitely look into it before taking advice though.

tea helps but i think that's bc the heat makes the body relax a bit more. when i had tea i usually had something calming like mint or green.
