you dirty hippie

bump

Retin-a, Alpha Hydrox 14% glycolic acid souffle, still looking for a good moisturizer

>>9135801
Been using this for a week now, a combined chemical peel. It also moisturises (it really does, was surprised considering it contains acids) and it's only for overnight use.
Blackheads got less but still red spots. Can't say much but reviews say you shouldn't expect fast results.

>>9135815
I bet I have nicer skin than you faggot. I haven't had a pimple in years.

>>9135907
It hydrates bc it's an aha which contains humectant qualities

Btw that products being phased out so it'll be off the shelves soon, they are making it into a version that doesn't have any acids so it won't be any different from a moisturizer really

>>9135801

my skincare routine = eating consistently clean food (no gluten, dairy or sugary shit)

I had really bad acne and scarring and tried using a lot of products to fix it and admittedly a lot of them helped but I could never achieve truly clear skin until I started eating clean.

unless you are being rough with it the reason it looks shit is probably your diet

if you want to approve appearance of your skin and have shitty genetics like me find any non-irritating cleanser/moisturiser/toner and then only drink water and cut out all the shit out of your diet indefinitely.

>>9135907
Also it's not a chemical peel that's not the same. It's just a chemical exfoliant.

>>9135911
Not that person but nice skin =\= no acne

If you're not moisturizing and protecting it you'll age like shit and the texture of it is probably not so nice

put water on face
put soap on face
put more water on face
???
smooth as fuck skin

Korean skincare routine, my skin has never been so nice, haven't had a breakout in months now, my scars have faded, my skin is more even. Shit's pretty good.

>>9135934

You shouldn't use soap on your face, it dries it out really badly and you're looking at premature aging. At the very least add a moisturizer in there.

>>9135956
Pls elaborate

i use these loofahs and now ive been reading that loofahs arent chill to use. whats the best way to wash your body?

>>9135969

Okay, I'm female, but these products can be used for males as well. I have combination skin, prone to breakouts when it's too dry or when I'm hormonal.

AM:
Etude House AC Clinic Daily Foam Cleanser
Nivea Creme Soft Moisturizer (on par with La Mer TBH)
Vitamin C Serum

PM:
If I'm wearing makeup I cleanse with Evening Primrose first.
Etude House AC Clinic Daily Foam Cleanser
Evening Primrose Oil
Nivea Creme Soft
If I see any signs of redness I'll then use Etude House AC Clinic Lotion
Evening Primrose Oil (one drop)
Eye Cream
Spot Treatment if needed (usually around that time of the month)
Every 3 days I use Missha Black Ghassoul Tightening Mask after the foam cleanser.
If I'm feeling dry in the face, I'll use Etude House Moistfull Creme.

Sometimes I like to mix it up and use Mizon's Snail Repair line.

Morning:
>Decubal Foaming Face Wash, or just water
>Nutraderm basic moisturiser
>Biore UV Aqua Rich SPF50 sunscreen
>Innisfree No-Sebum compact powder
>when rosacea on my cheeks is acting up: It's Skin Babyface BB
Evening:
>Lumene Waterproof Makeup remover (if I was wearing makeup)
>Decubal Foaming Face Wash
>occasionally: Paula's Choice Daily Resist 5% AHA
>occasionally: Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque
>ACO Face Hydrating Cream
it took months to get to this point and my skin is looking breddy gud

>>9135978

As long as you change them every month, they are alright to use.

>>9135995
I don't know about other guys but for me this is just too difficult to maintain.

>>9135978
Mechanical exfoliation is ok for body but I would prefer chemical exfoliation on the face/sensitive areas.
Chemical exfoliation is the use of alpha hydroxy acids or beta hydroxy acids

>>9136005

Well, if any males are looking for a simple routine here it is:

>Dry Skin
Gel Cleanser
Hydrating Moisturizer
Eye Cream *if needed


>Combination Skin
Gel or Foam Cleanser
Toner *containing NO alcohol
Hydrating Moisturizer


>Oily/Acne Prone Skin
Foam Cleanser
Toner * NO alcohol
Treating Moisturizer *I suggest effaclar K
Spot Treatment *Vichy makes a good one

>>9135995
Das too much for me

>>9136016
beauty's pain beb

>>9136009

Except some of us are allergic to most BHA and AHA products. Gotta be careful or you'll end up at the doctor asking what the fuck happened to your face while you're covered in nasty ass hives and your eyes won't open.

Apple cider vinegar applied erryday, diluted and applied with a cotton ball for a few minutes a day, followed by either an overnight honey mask or just Aveeno Moisturizer. Thus far it has been good, have been doing so for months now in an effort to quell breakouts and fade these scars, it has worked fairly well.

>>9135801
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 ten minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out, and makes you look older. Then moisturiser, then an anti-ageing eye balm, followed by a final moisturising protective lotion.

coconut oil

>>9135801
Take shower with lots of steam (heard this is good for skin somewhere).
Facial scrub after shower.
Moisturize appropriately.

My skin is smooth as fuck.

>>9135907
i like that shit

>>9136014
how long does it take you to do all that? 30min?

I use CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser 1-2 times a day depending on if I feel like my skin needs a product to cleanse, i'll exfoliate with a microfibre clothe a couple of times a week if my skin feels a bit scaly, e45 cream to moisturize, stridex face pads every now and again, tea tree oil if i can feel a pimple coming.

>>9135918
i drink a ton of milk (for gains brah) and im pretty sure it makes my acne worse. it's also one of the only things that's been shown in science studies to make acne worse.

btw. i have a mood disorder and am considering testing out a gluten-free and dairy-free diets as there is some evidence it helps.

any noticeable changes in your mood from the diet change?

>>9135995
>>9135996

lol "routine" not "full blown military engagement"

>>9137622
hey what's the point of exfoliating? sry for my stupidity

>>9137695

Soz I went to bed so I only just saw this.

Like I never noticed how shit gluten and dairy products made me feel until I stopped eating them and then started again. I broke out, skin got worse and just felt generally shitty.

I can guarantee that cutting them out will improve your appearance big time.

I don't know anything about mood disorders, but the health benefits of giving up dairy and gluten will make you feel great which should help a lot with your problem.

The hard thing was cutting out whey protein for me and will probably be hard for you too. You literally just have to replace it with solid protein unless you want to take a hemp protein sup or something (wouldn't recommend soy if you are a guy). Just do your macros and work out how much meat you have to eat to reach your protein req's

also only drink water

legit recommend a diet change to anyone with bad skin that they struggle to fix

>>9137593

10 minutes MAXIMUM

>>9137712
its ok i'm sure youre very smart :)

it helps to slough off dead skin. some people dont like manual exfoliation (rubbing your face with something) but it's fine if youre gentle and use a microfibre cloth

Nivea aftershave - clean and clear scrub - neutrogena body lotion (yes i use it for my face)

even though my skin actually depends on weather and my mental health.

>>9135995
Damn, what the fuck. Women really are obsessed with staying young, then again it's more important for them.

never really had one though I generally avoid using soap of any kind on it just water. But I do tend to get one maybe two small zits a week which are pretty annoying.

Wut do?

neutrogena facial wash + moisturizer
sanctury toner
avene cleanance gel
sometimes clinique pore refining solutions
wash face in morning and before i go to sleep, don't like to put too much shit on my face, occasionally use quinoderm 10 for acne but its been discontinued now so..

any recommended moisturizers for oily/greasy skin?

>>9138013
neutrogena oil free moisturizer

to moisturize my face i use rose hip oil because it's very light so your face doesnt end up shiny.

Manuka honey....open the jar... Get some honey....put on face.... Wait 30mins - 60mins....rinse ...dry... You will feel your face like never before. Also eat dark chocolate it's good for you, sleep well and drink a lot of water, take multivitamins and krill oil if you feel your diet is shit, thank me later.
Nivea light moisturiser is good, you don't need to buy expensive stuff.

>>9138176
How does the cannabis help? That's a lame joke.

>>9141022
go away dute

>>9141022
the whole guide is shit. most people dont know shit about the shit about which they post

>>9135801
>tfw chugging from 6 pint milk bottle filled with water
>little amount of acne I had is clearing up like fuck

As long as you don't touch your face, sleep with a towel on your pillow and drink tons of water your acne will disappear.
Also NO MILK.
You don't need to spend shit to just clear up acne, if you want smooth and soft skin though definitely use products.

>>9135801
wash wash wash your face. but your skin is way more delicate than you think. i do it in the morning. i use black african soap with oats http://www.amazon.com/Nubian-Heritage-African-Black-Soap/dp/B006VYG9YU/ref=pd_sbs_bt_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0SD3Q0GRFCWVVKK0K7PZ

you gotta moisturize too. preferably AM/PM. i use All Bright Hydrating Night Cream from the Boots Botanics line, which is mostly organic.

drink lots of water. the results are repeatedly astounding. you can figure out how much you should be drinking http://www.camelbak.com/HydrationCalculator.. if you are prone to forget, make sure to get a good water bottle (my favourite is the bobble, which has a filter built in; i’ve had mine for a year) and get an app that’ll remind you.

>>9141170
also girls: dont sleep with your makeup on or it'll clog up your pores real bad and cause breakouts..

I've never bothered with skincare products before but don't want to spend too much on it, it's not a huge concern.

I was planning on getting a moisturising lotion and daily facial cleanser from Cetaphil, would this be sufficient just for healthier skin?

>>9141180
cetaphil is good but if you really want healthier skin, it's all in the diet.

>>9141187
I'm >>9141164, so.
I never eat takeaways or anything like that, always eat healthy.

>>9141180
yeah probably. see if it works for you.

>>9141187
to a degree

>>9135801
drink 3-5L water/day
don't eat too much shit food
use no products
shower daily
don't rub my grubby hands all over myself

it works, my skin is fine and it used to be pimply as fuark

I get emu oil soap bars from my local farmers market for 2 bucks and they last me a month or more.

I have no idea if it's actually good for my skin, but it's better than using shampoo as facial soap like I used to.
