I wash my face with water before going to sleep
works wonders

In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

this sounds retarded but what should i use to wash myself in the shower, and what deodorant should i use? make & spray or roll?

I'm pretty basic too.
Wash my face with water three times a day and use moisturizer every once in a while.
Non alcoholic aftershave too

>>10348884
Has anyone ever done all of this? I want mask like him at the end

>>10348884
it's not a skincare thread without this copypasta

>>10348946
the thing is that there are some people who have longer, but less redundant, routines.

the structured face routine is this:

(ice pack)
deep pore cleanser lotion
(gel cleanser)
exfoliating gel scrub
herb-mint facial mask
(alcohol-free after shave lotion)
moisturizer
anti-aging eye balm
final moisturizing protective lotion

that is:

2 cleansers (3, counting the water-activated one)
2 exfoliators
3 moisturizers (4, counting after-shave)

it's just too much of each thing.

anyways, the mask is a "peel off face mask". used for exfoliation post-cleansing. can be bought here and there. you can also make your own using agar. it's a lot of fun.

Broke my nose and got a big cut on it. Five months later and the scar is still red as shit. Will it ever heal and look pale like my skin? Shit sucks

I severe hyper-pigmentation and spotty skin because of pubic lice/crabs and I also have noticeable nasolabial folds. How do I get rid of all of this?

Also where can I get 5% premethrin online?

My derma gave me this special sunscreen to reduce the redness of my acne while I'm using benzoyl peroxide to clear it up but I haven't really been using the suncreen all that much. Mostly because I've heard conflicting reports on whether or not sun is good for acne - should I start using the suncreen?

hitler would be proud of this pic

>anti-aging eye balm

lol

>>10349049
Yo, back to /fa/? Unless you're a different dude.

hello /fa/ just had a question

Male, 28, no acne

I just want a good age fighter that I can apply at night while I'm sleeping, I'd use something during the day but I'd sweat it off pretty easily

is there anything you can recommend? thanks

Got prescribed accutane today

Is the Godly remedy that many claim it is?

I have white blemish on the corner of my lip. It's very small, and it doesn't hurt. I've had it for months and It wont go away. I really hate having blemishes on my top of lips. Hard to get rid of.

Oil cleansing method with baby oil?

>>10350142
It is. I'm 3 years off a 6 month treatment and no acne since. Prepare yourself for dry skin and possibly major depression. It borderline made me want to kill myself but so did my acne so it was worth it in the end.

>>10349703
jesus yes please use the sunscreen. bp causes photosensitivity u have to protect ur skin from the sun while ur using bp

>>10350376
baby oil isn't always straight mineral oil, the johnson & johnson one for example has fragrance in it also. check the ingredients on the baby oil ur buying, u might be sensitive to fragrances or whatever other shit is in it besides the mineral oil

>>10350417
I'm already extremely depressed and have negative thoughts a lot.

If I become an hero, at least I'll die looking better.

Also, what are some of the other effects of accutane? Positive ones, obviously it helps acne. But does it help wrinkles, sebaceous filaments, etc? Because I've got a lot of those and it really fucks me off.

Been taking zinc and vitamin e, acne gone within 1.5 weeks. Came back after eating candy, now going back down. Any other supplements that do wonders as zinc ?

pls help. i have very dry skin and i have these odd red patches with thick, scaly dead skin on top. they go away sometimes, meaning you cant see them, but sometimes they reappear in the same spot as before. usually if im super on top of moisturizing it works, but not always. plus they are way worse in the winter than the summer. i went to the derma and she prescribed me alclometasone(eczema cream) but it didnt do anything. she said she wasnt sure if it was eczema. do you know if i can get rid of them somehow?
thanks op

>>10350467
I'm not sure if it help with wrinkles or blackheads but it definitely helps with oily skin. I wouldn't be surprised if it did help with blackheads. I wasn't a pizza face before but I would always have about 3 to 5 really bad deep skin pustules on my face at all times. Usually on my chin and jaw but sometimes on my nose and forehead. They were super painful and humiliating and no other treatment helped them. I've never had one since accutane. The worst thing I've gotten since is maybe a tiny whitehead if I got dirty and didn't wash my face.

>>10350660
>>10350142
What's the minimum shittiness your skin has to be to be able to get accutane?

I want the holy grail acne medication but I'm not a pizza moon face either.

>>10348864
It's all bullshit. You only need a face cream, to rest well and to work as little as possible.

>>10350563
nigga try tinea versicolor, that might be it

I live in florida so I'm in 80% humidity, 90 degree weather 24/7 and as such, my skin hates me and grows this shit all over it

just kill me now

>>10350726
If you have reasonably bad acne you can probably get it. I just had to try several other treatments (various face creams, antibiotics, etc.) before to prove I needed it. Accutane is really effective, but it can have extremely severe side effects, so it's usually something of a last resort.

would buying roaccuane on the grey market be a dumb idea?
I was prescribed 60mg a day 2 years ago but now I'm getting mild acne again. I really can't be fucked seeing a doctor a billion times just to get referred.

Should I try taking 20mg for a month or something?

>>10350726
A buddy of mine used Accutane. Now he is allergic to whatever hormone is produced when you start to sweat.

If he gets anxious or even is just in a bit of a warm environment he breaks out in terrible painful hives.

Be careful man.

>>10350137
sk-ii is an expensive but decent aging prevention, there are other alternatives which are probably just as good such as missha first treatment essence time revolution, and ive heard cosrx galactomyces essence does similar albeit a little more moisturizing.

maybe look into r/skincare and r/asianbeauty. i know, i know, its reddit but its actually useful.

>>10350563
Sebhorreic dermatitis
Or just spot eczema

Mild rosacea on face
Pale as fuck skin
Psoriasis on elbows
Keratosis Pilaris on arms
Fordyce spots on penis

Help me out bros

How often should one use the oil cleansing method? Just did it for the first time and skin looks and feels great

>>10351596
>Fordyce spots on penis
Can't get rid of those.

Plus, a HUGE amount of guys fucking have those. Me included.

:(

>>10349782
you see those dark roots tho?
I think not...

Just apple salt water you dummies!

-for your health

>>10351676
apply*
I need an air-horn to tell when im about to fuck up this bad
How am I still making typos at this point in my life anyway

>>10350142
same as the other anon said, you may want to cop some bucket hats because you're going to be one seriously fucking sad boy (possibly. some do some don't)

But it cleared up what I couldn't get rid of for years. My Acne's come back a few years later though

what benefits will i notice if i begin bathing in salt water?

>>10351919
you will be salty :^)

>>10351932
hahaha! LOL

>>10351919
you will be salty

>>10350137
Go to your local Kiehl's or Shiseido for a free skin consultation
Or if you live in a big city, Face Shop

>>10351932
>>10351941
noo I was to late

>>10351941
am dying!

I already have a skin routine but I since I do nothing special before going to sleep, I was thinking of applying micellar water/toner at night. Is it a good idea or would that just be useless?

>>10351932
>>10351941
hehehe..

>>10349049
I never has acne before but i have these tiny bumps on my forehead, its only a little bit but i dont know how to get rid of it. I think its heat bumps or something

>>10349665
I think you should see a dermatologist. hyperpigmentation is hard to treat on your own, especially if it's "severe". considering its location then you should seek professional help in order for you to not fuck things up. you should btw really see a doctor if you have an ongoing... infestation.

>>10349937
just shitposting when I feel like it, brah

>>10352016
check images for "closed comedones" and check if it's what you seem to have. way more common than heat bumps. BHA/retinoids are commonly used to treat that.

>>10348871
>>10348944
you guys just like wet your hands and put em on your face?

>>10350364
Please help.

>>10350376
No, baby oil is comedegonic. You're better off using fucking olive oil.

I get this shit all over my torso every time I shower, it's really itchy.
I've tried taking colder showers but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

>>10352722
bump, I'm referring to the red spots btw.

Can I shower/wash my face too often? I only use water though, shampoo once because of wax. Sorry if this is a dum question, just wondering cause I shower like 3-4 times a day. I sweat a lot.

Also, anything I can do with my increasingly wrinkly laugh lines?

>>10353105
Showering too much can be no good from what I heard. I don't know much tho.

how to fix bad skin near mouth?

>>10352722
I have the same thing sometimes when I take a shower at someone else's place, it's related to how hard the water is.
Fucking chalk

So no worries bro, it eventually goes away, and if it gets very annoying try to get some sort of a filter. Good luck

>>10353404
>not living in god-tier europe where your water isnt fucking disgusting

>tfw my region in norway has the best tap water on the planet

>>10352722
>>10353105
Your skin is dry.
You could try using a body lotion after showering.

>>10353404
is drinking hard water bad?
I live in an area with hard water in the UK :(

>>10353451

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_water#Health_considerations

>The World Health Organization says that "there does not appear to be any convincing evidence that water hardness causes adverse health effects in humans".

>In fact, the United States National Research Council has found that hard water can actually serve as a dietary supplement for calcium and magnesium.


(Norfag is stupid)

My teenage days are behind me and I'm largely spot-free now. Though I still get these annoying as fuck whiteheads on my cheeks and nothing seems to do anything but squeezing them - which makes a horrible mess of my face for a few days afterwards.

What do?
