What can you do about bumps besides pick at them?

Go on tretinoin and closed comedones will disappear forever after a few months for as long as you keep using it consistently. I'm a reformed dermatillomaniac and tret means I basically never have to pick at my skin again.

Pimples, I guess? I don't know. I never tried to figure out what they are before I start scratching or pinching them. Then I pick the scabs too! It's a sad cycle.
>>454768
This is promising, thank you! I'm so glad you found something that works. I'm worried my skin is too sensitive (a doctor once told me I have excema literally all over my face kek) but I will look into this.

How do I get rid of sebaceous filaments??? I have so many of them and it bothers me so much, I pick at them but I know that's really bad for my skin.
My friend told me to get one of those little handheld machines but I'm scared that will damage my skin more somehow, or not work? They sound expensive but is there another way?

Don't use the machines they will burst your capillaries. Use a peel mask.

Volufiline nonna reporting back, I can't find my old post and I'm on mobile but around 3 months ago I started using it under my eyes and on my lips. I've gone through some 1/3rd of my 72 ml bottle, so this thing will last me ages. My hollow dark undereyes are still dark and sort of hollow but I've gained some slight eyebags? Lea Seydoux style, but obviously smaller. I like it and I think sleepy is a cuter look than day-old corpse. I haven't been consistent with using it on my lips but it definitely has a slight plumping effect.
>>454862
I have very sensitive skin and I still went on Accutane, I know it's not exactly the same as tret, but it completely changed my skin. I was on the lowest possibile dose for a year and during the first three months I had pretty severe eczema, I eventually fixed it with snail mucin. I know a lot of people are allergic to it but it had a great calming effect for me.
>>454888
I got cosrx AHA/BHA for the same problem because Accutane didn't fix it. They aren't gone completely but now at least they don't randomly get infected and turn into zits.

No. 454978

You can't. What you CAN do however is reduce pore size by using chemical exfoliants such as lactic acid, glycolic acid, or the heavy-duty tretinoin.

No. 455037

How do you apply it? Ive heard it needs to be mixed with oil, so I'm waiting for the squalane to arrive. Hoping to get similar effects

Lea Seydoux has such dreamy eyes I've always loved them, mine are the same shape but have lost alot of fat so I'm tempted to buy and try
I tried the cheap way before (hyaluronic acid sealed with vaseline) and it gave me a slight boost but the results isn't long lasting at all
This gave me so much hope because I hate my sunken eyes the update is appreciated!

I just apply it after having applied eye cream/ some lip balm. For a while, when I ran out of eye cream, I just used it on top of my moisturizer and it was completely fine.
>>455050
I'd say go for it - a bottle costs quite a lot but I assume it lasts approx 5-10 months, depending on how much you use. It's just that the effects seem so random and you can never predict if it will even do anything. The effects are nothing nobody would outright notice, but for me they're just like a small net positive, like a little bonus.

anyone else here have keratosis pilaris? I have it aaallll up my calves and I've been using moisturizing body wash and salicylic acid lotion for a week and it isn't going down. it's so fucking ugly I can never wear shorts please help me NONAS WITH KP ONLY. what fixed it for you?????

It will go away completely if you're willing to cut out dairy. You can exfoliate all day but it won't make much of a difference. If you cut out dairy and then exfoliate you'll have normal looking skin. Probably not what you want to hear but I've never heard of anyone successfully getting rid of kp through topical solutions alone (and dermatologists either don't know or won't admit how shitty bovine hormones are on some people's skin)

No. 461747

>>461677
by this logic, should I go vegan? aren't those hormones in meat as well? I heard cutting dairy helps with acne, eczema, and even psoriasis. no cheese….. sadge

i hear glycolic acid could help. weirdly enough, getting a little tan on your skin seems to help with kp.

Not sure. I did find out by going vegan but have only really confirmed dairy being a problem for my skin, not any other animal products. For a while I thought these "dessert bars" were dairy-free (they are not) and a few bumps returned to the back of my arms after I got addicted to them (casein in dairy is addictive anyways but they're also really good). I used to think everyone should go vegan but have now witnessed living evidence that some people tolerate dairy pretty well and meat. If you have kp in the first place, you might be prone to inflammation caused by dairy though, it's worth a try

In your experience, what causes breakouts specifically around the chin and jaw area? I'm going nuts because it's just constant spot after spot appearing, and my skincare routine is pretty solid for every other part of my face, it's just my chin really that is so persistent with acne. Help a gal out please.

The winter cuticles drive me crazy every year. I bought one cuticle oil but it didn’t feel nourishing enough so I got another one. I apply it daily along with lotion a couple times a day. I also keep a humidifier in my room. It does not matter. The skin around my thumbs is still a disaster. Is there any escape from this? Pretty sure there’s nothing I can do if the oil isn’t working and the skin around my nails is remaining chapped.

Is it normal for my entire body skin to have discoloration? When I see naked pictures of women, they have uniform "clean" skin tone, while mine is patchy, like some sort of asymmetrical vitiligo, specially on my abdomen. My groin area is also extremely dark, and my belt area, too. With dark black/purple color and a silver sheen to it. My skin looks "dirty" because of this. What can I do to get rid of it? I already exfoliate using salicylic acid and physical scrubs and moisturize my body after the shower. I have brown skin so it could be a hyperpegmentation issue ofcourse. Please, no patronizing comments about self-acceptance and yada yada. I want a real solution, I'm already unhappy with the way I look for many other reasons, but I want to solve it one by one starting with this.

Best wax product? I'm having difficulty with wax unless I let my hair grow out very long, which kind of defeats the purpose for me. Just for legs and under the arms. Something good enough to get hairs that are only 1 cm long.

To those watching $1000+ Sephora hauls and feeling FOMO: this is all you will ever need. This stuff works as: shampoo, body wash, conditioner, makeup remover and moisturiser. The Ordinary retinol is also optional.

Does anybody have “science-based”/unbiased skincare resources to recommend?

I am new to skincare and get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of marketing in the field. It overwhelms me and fosters distrust. I really just want to understand the basics of how the skin and most skincare products work, that’s it. I don’t have any severe symptoms and simply want to take care of my skin, so my focus is quite general. I’m also a STEM student, which I only mention to underline my interest in science and science-based resources. I am weary of consumerism and want to be careful with what I put on my skin, so honest research is important! Thank you so much

You're going to love lab muffin beauty science then. Her whole channel is dedicated to breaking down cosmetic science. I personally also like to watch dr dray since she does a lot of product reviews. I personally don't trust many other people aside from them and reviews made by people with no/minimal followings.

This is a bit TMI but I pulled an ingrown hair that was near my nipple years ago, which led to it growing back underneath my skin and I had to pick at it to get it out. It left me with an ugly hyperpigmentation spot that I'm embarrassed about and I don't know how exactly to treat it considering the area. Help? Could BHA patches help?

AYRT, I’ve been looking at her work and was originally very excited because she doesn’t appear to be affiliated with a brand and has a background in science. However, the style/tone of her blogs is so irksome. I dislike how informal and fallacious some statements are. For instance, the constant usage of “I think we all know…” or “sus” to describe a study doesn’t come across as very professional. But I do like her guide on skincare and will definitely be using her as a resource.

She does do paid ads sometimes and it's not a secret. Personally, i don't mind and just avoid them.

Visibly improved acne scars that I've had for over 10 years just after one run with a dermapen, I'm so happy nonnas. Nothing else helped, I thought I was gonna have to live with those holes until I had money for some laser treatment. Can't wait to see how they improve after I do it again

No. 472608

is there anything you can do to prevent hormonal acne that isn’t going on hormonal birth control? i don’t think my skincare routine is the problem because my skin will look fantastic for most of the month and then right before my period starts i break out horribly with both tiny pimples and deeper, seemingly cystic acne. it stopped happening when i was on the pill but every time i take hormonal bc it makes me so suicidal that i have to stop so that’s not really an option for me, but idk what else i can do, when i google it everything just says to get on the pill or that it’ll get better with age but my ass is old and it is not getting better
