that's kind of wrong, though.
routine products are simply not "better" than the
others, because they have different uses.
like cleansers being better (>) than the toner...

liquid BHA is not "better" than the moisturizer

Allt svart - ett säkert kort. Även ett tråkigt sådant. Variationer av grått till det där, med vita inslag, blir nog bra.

>Use a water-based moisturizer
This depends on your skin condition. In general you should use a moisturizer that has more fatty "occlusives" (that hold moisture in the skin and make it more pliable, see "emollients") the dryer your skin is. More occlusives generally make your skin more oily (this depends on the oil, though). Humectant-based moisturizers work as well. CeraVe/Cetaphil has some products designed specifically for the face.

>Lemon on affected areas and spots
Partly yes, partly absolutely not. The active ingredient in this regard is citric acid (not ascorbic acid, as some people tend to believe). Citric acid can act as an effective keratolytic, but is rarely used as an other AHA (glycolic acid) has greater skin penetration due to its smaller size. There are better options for it.
Citric acid/lemon juice/acids in general should not be used on broken skin (wounds, open acne lesions) as this /will/ damage the sensitive healing tissue and slow wound healing.

Hope this cleared some things up.

I appreciate what you're doing. It's a good thing of you to do this kind of write-up.

I'd like to point out some things, though:

- Water requirements differ among individuals. It is mainly dependent on body size, diet, and activity levels. 3 liters are not recommended for women. 3 liters (13 cups) for men and 2.2 liters (9 cups) for women are the average adequate intake (see sources in links).

Some guides on adequate water intake here:
http://www.cdc.gov/nutrition/everyone/basics/water.html
http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-living/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/water/art-20044256

Also, I'd like to mention that no study (as far as I've seen) establishes a connection between water intake and acne severity. Increased consumption of pure water could indirectly lead to less acne though, considering that this would implicate a lower intake of diary and high-GI foods - that has been shown to /possibly/ aggravate acne.

>zinc supplement
Some indication of that it could help:

>fish oil

>green tea
Immune health: Negated by EFSA:
http://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/efsajournal/pub/2055.htm

>lemon
Yes, green tea with lemon is not harmful - but it's unlikely to affect anything since the dosage is very low.

>exfoliation
Yes, but not a mechanical one. Use chemical exfoliation, like various alpha-hydroxy acids, beta-hydroxy acids, benzoyl peroxide.

>benzoyl peroxide in the morning
No. BP is a keratolytic and an irritant. Helping remove excess "corneocytes" (former living skin cells) in the "stratum corneum" (top layer of skin) will expose the underlying living tissue to more UV radiation. Use benzoyl peroxide in the evenings instead.

>>9360995
Generally nope.

See:
>>9337758
>>9349857
>>9351221

Remember, though, that water-based mixtures are better tolerated than alcohol-based ones. It may also be possible that you tolerate BP better than most others (and are able to use a higher %), but that is statistically unlikely.

I'd say that that's not a manbun though
since manbuns are bigger

I'd call that a male topknot (characterized by smaller size)

eh, semantics

A moisturizer comes later, if it is required by then, once the over-dosing of witch hazel has ceased.

Dryness can vary across different areas of the skin. Once it's very pronounced it can be classified as some kind of eczema. You could try a moisturizing OTC hydrocortisone cream for the affected areas.

What kind of moisturizer have you used previously?

>>9354408
a good diluting oil would also most likely work as a moisturizer (emollient rather than a humectant), so you wouldn't need it anyways probably. you could apply both at the same time.

>>9352362

ugh
so tired
but will write anyways

The components of witch hazel allows it to work mainly as an astringent. This doesn't affect sebum (skin fat) production directly, but it does so indirectly and can be used to restrict the production of it in practicality. What this means is that there will be less fat on top of your skin, and this will cause the water in the uppermost layers of the skin to be able to evaporate faster. Sweat excretion is also affected. Astringents will in general make tissues dryer and more compact in general, so witch hazel can be used for people with oily skin in order to dry out their skin a bit more.

Decreasing the amount of sebum in the uppermost layers of the skin/diminishing sebum production in the sebaceous glands can contribute to fewer "microcomedones" and therefore also fewer acne lesions (both inflammatory and non-inflammatory). That's why it helps you.

But it does make you dry. What you need right now is not a moisturizer at all, because you're currently over-dosing on the witch hazel. If you would be in the optimum range, then you would be free from both excessive acne as well as skin dryness. Decrease your dosage of witch hazel by either diluting the oil (with paraffin or some other non-acnegenic oil), or decrease the intervals at which you apply the witch hazel - or both.

Moisturizer comes later, if required.

Hope this helps.

google "make your own t-shirt"

you can order them online

also, try fuccboi general in the future.

Has it really changed your /facial structure/, or has it actually just changed your /facial posture/?

The kinds of changed he talks about in that video are slow changes across a long time - and it is mostly relevant only for those with faces still in development (to the end of puberty, mostly).

As far as I remember, he acknowledges that still hasn't been able to change already grown faces to a satisfactory degree.

(The title "Growing your face" highlights the development part)

note that the underweight thing is vague. primarily related to mean fat%

I'll copy-paste from a comment I made about that a while back in some skincare general:

>Re. dark circles around eyes: Genetics is always a factor. This coupled with environmental factors creates different kinds of conditions within the body. What you have under your eyes are red-blue blood vessels that for some reason has become more visible.

>Sleep deprivation may increase the prominence of dark circles below the eyes. Puffy eyelids from lack of sleep can help darken the area below the eyelids.

>Being underweight can make the blood vessels more visible, as the skin above it becomes thinner. Rubbing the eyes, or making the eye area irritated in general, can contribute to increased blood flow in the area.

>tldr: sleep well. check for allergies. gain weight. do not irritate the area. use make-up.

.... and finally: see a doctor (dermatologist)

yw. hard to tell I think due to the size of the images + we can't see the widest part of either tie :3

Elba's tie does seem to have a slight inclination - which is something which is rarely detectable (if applicable) in extra skinny ties

>>9353941
the tie you posted in the first img does look like a 2.0'-2.5' though

Btw:

A comparison between 2.5% and 10% BP found that they have: "Equivalent efficacy but 10% more burning, erythema and peeling [for the 10%]. Inflammatory lesions: 45% vs 47% reduction." This is, of course, also true for 5%.

See:
Mills OH Jr, Kligman AM, Pochi P, et al. Comparing 2.5%, 5%, and 10% benzoyl
peroxide on inflammatory acne vulgaris. Int J Dermatol 1986;25:664–7.

>>9348229
Not according to the larger studies cited in "Evidence-based Dermatology". There is a difference, but it is only minor, and not considered to be worth the highly increased redness, dryness, and general irritation.

This doesn't mean, of course, that you can't have a non-sensitive skin that is able to tolerate a great amount of benzoyl peroxide, and benefit from both the antibacterial and the keratolytic properties of a 10% product.

yaaaaaaay :3
kik or something may work better

>>9340265
it's not good whatsoever, but it's not worthy of a buzzcut.

just go to a decent stylist (see reviews online) and have it fixed

don't see the "junior stylist".

There are no "final treatments" for acne vulgaris (common acne), except for isotretinoin which is capable of producing "persistent remission". All other treatments require prolonged treatment periods.

You don't require any higher benzoyl peroxide concentration than 2.5%, by the way. Higher concentrations (5% and 10%) only increase irritation, without decreasing acne symptoms to a greater degree.

Let me know if you want sources.
