Thanks for the support, I just ignore haters. They are just lazy. And I doubt they lift either.

I've looked into dermapens, but haven't found one I could trust, aware me which one do you use?

As for the peel, yes its very easy to do it at home and no its not harsh enough that you need a professional.

Just get a small gauze pad, and apply few drops till you get a layer on your face, keep it for 5-7 mins and then wash it off with cleanser or soap and then moisturize.
you are probably getting acne cause of clogged pores, do you chemically exfoliate regularly? if you don't then you should. it's what prevents the sebum from filling up with gunk and causing inflammation.

This is what I use for exfoliation:

will my sebaceous filaments reduce on it's own with the use of bha and aha everyday brah or do i have to squeeze htem out

Op what do you use to numb your face before derma rolling?

I need to tan to look good, or my skin looks pale as fck.
Could it be possible to incorporate tanning in this routine. Not when you're using the bha/ aha or retin-a obviously. But how about something like, stopping everything for 10 days, then tan for 2 days, then continue regime for 20 days, then repeat? Or do the exfoliants and retin-a make the skin sun-sensitive permanently long after using them?

Yes the pores will shrink, but it takes time and consistent use. Never squeeze anything on your face brah, you are only harming yourself and damaging delicate capillaries in the skin. Peels help greatly too.
I don't like numbing my face with weird chemicals brah so I don't, it doesn't hurt thaaat bad tbh.
You're good brah on the BHA/AHA, retin A I'm not sure as its a harsh medicince, just get those self tanners brah. I used tanning beds extensively before and I was on the same routine. Just note if you get any irritation and stop for a bit.

Just lol if you are not using products by Aromatherapy Associates. Look them up.

thoughts on the PMD (personal microderm), OP?

OP,

Could you recommend any specific ingredients I should look for in a moisturizer please?

And if I have oily skin, will sunscreen such as spf30 make it worse aka shine? Currently use Cetaphil cleanser and some poverty moisturizer.

Never heard of it before, did a bit of research and its a hit or miss. I personally just use a poverty titanium derma roller which is backed by many science journals showing its effectiveness.

Clinique moisture surge is a good moisturizer for oily skin. Look for gel moisturizers instead of cream as they absorb better and leave no oily streaks.

I wish there was a way to get rid of broken capillaries on my face.

there is brah, is it under eye or somewhere else?

I have inquired about it and its actually fairly simple procedure.

They use a laser called Pulsed dye lasers are the most common type of laser used to treat broken capillaries. Also known as a V-beam laser, this laser is used to treat a variety of skin conditions in addition to broken capillaries, including birthmarks, acne scars, port wine stains or spider veins. This type of laser is considered to deliver a fairly painless burst of energy, and the laser light works to both cool the outer layer of skin while targeting damaged blood vessels underneath the skin.

Get it if you really want to get rid of them

Its next to my nose on the cheek. Wonder how muck it costs?

Just got my sample of Paula's Choice 2% BHA liquid exfoliant. I'm happy it doesn't burn my face like the AHA does. Is it just me or does it take forever to absorb into your skin though? I feel like there's a puddle of water just sitting on my face. I think I'll only use this at night.

whats the best charcoal mask to use.?

Bumping because it's a quality non Chad homo thread

bruhs I have no issues with my skin with the exception that it gets kinda oily during the day and makes me shiny as fck... how can I get my skin to just look more "normal"?

You get used to it brah, also don't use too much just 2-3 shakes.https://www.amazon.com/Daiso-Japan-N.../dp/B00EGGJT88
You need chemical exfoliation, it helps with oil control etc. I never have an oily face anymore. Also a gel moisturizer after.

should I use a moisturizer if I have really oily skin? If so what type of moisturizer should I get? are any of these cheap brandname skin products any good or are they all just a scam?

not a scam, this is the best thing for oily face.

https://www.clinique.ca/product/1687...d-feel-happier

is a cleanser necessary / beneficial to use before the aha/bha, and can you get away with just washing your face with water beforehand? on the bha user manual they recommend lightly soaking a cotton pad and even the stuff out, any point in that? And to be clear, are you supposed to leave the stuff on and not wash it off after some time?

yes cleanser is necessary. get cerave foam from any drugmart, its like 4 bucks. Your pores need to be clean to allow the BHA/AHA to penetrate and help.

Nah using cotton is their way of making you waste the product and buy it faster. just use your palms and rub it on your face. and yes you don't wash it off but you gotta moisturize after or you will get a dry face

Thanks for posting this thread. Some good advice in here. I wasn't a big fan of Paula's Choice after trying many of their products last summer but maybe they're worth another look.

My right, bottom, eyelid gets puffy. What can I do about this op? Will rep you for life if you solve.

Thinking about trying this routine for my sebaceous filamentshttps://fiftyshadesofsnail.com/2015/...-3-pore-myths/

what do you think OP?

Also, of you have to pick one or two products for a semi-dry face for dat dere eternal glow, what would you recommend?

Note that I never put lotion and stuff on my face or body ever.. I hate how they make my skin feel sticky and not smooth.

Appreciate any input brah.

Np, honestly I have super sensitive skin and PC really has good ingredients that are non irritating, one of the many reasons i'm a fan.
Pm me pics, you can block rest of your face if you want for privacy.

But in general how long have they been puffy for? do your parents have the same thing? do you have allergies? do you drink enough water 6+ cups/day?
Routine looks simple, I'd recommend these two exfoliants for glow and just in general great skin (They will break you out in the beginning, just a few zits called a purge because its cleansing your skin, goes away after few weeks.), rub them in your palms and then on your face. Stridex is trash and made me break out badly and also burns. You get what you pay for in skin care lol

I also hate lotions and how they feel, hence why I use a gel moisturizer after exfoliating.

Either the top one is good or this one:https://www.clinique.ca/product/1687...d-feel-happier

The oil cleansing thing she mentioned in the routine either works great for people or very badly resulting in killer cystic acne that scars you for life. I tried it before and I didn't like it, but it all depends on you. Personally I don't think its beneficial much if you're a guy as your pores aren't clogged as much as women who wear makeup.

I come back later.

Why is anyone taking OP seriously? He claims Skin Guru,but posts pics of himself using makeup and filters

op i use the clinique moisturizer but it makes my face more shiny / oily than usual later in the day. I used very little too. Are moisturizers necessary?

What do you recommend after Accutane treatment to get rid of those chitty scars? I can't laser this chit away, cuz I have to wait 12 months (According to my doctor). Basically red spots that were left after acne (Not Pimples).

Also what's your opinion on the Aztec Secret Indian Clay?

I don't have any filters on my photos and I'm not wearing makeup idiot(thanks for the compliment though)

oh and here's another pic of me which clearly shows i dont have **** on, just got of the shower with a t shirt on my head


you using the gel one? I don't get oily face from it much tbh, make sure to use less, just few dabs that's how much I put on each side, I don't smother it all over my face, I carefully dab and smudge.
Brah forgot laser and that extreme type of stuff which can leave you worse than you went in srs.

First its best to pm me or post pics here as I need to asses what type of scars you got (box scars, ice pick etc)
