lol i see it now

use an electrical trimmer without the guard. that's what I do. zero irritation.

yeah but I like the close shave, got a nice jawline, the trimmer still leaves a minuscule amount of visible hair

I just wash my face with cetaphil after shaving and before bed. Works great. I can definetly see a difference if I dont use it for a couple days.

use an electric beard trimmer to shave, no irritation, not as close but who cares

then use glycolic acid cleanser, glycolic acid toner, witchhazel toner, vitamin C serum, snail bee essence, retin A, moisturizer+SPF in that order.

/fa/ has a skin care wiki and a general thread
tuxbell.com/index.php/Grooming#Skin-care_Basics

better to take their advice, since from what i have seen of their posters they have perfect twink skin while most Jow Forums posters have awful skin

Thank you.

Its kind of harsh in the beginning, defo have to get used to it desu. So use enough moisturizer etc., read up a few Jow Forumsskincareaddiction threads

Exfoliate and use salicylic acid facial soaps. Get little exfoliating facial sponges and sue the soap to wash your face. Make sure to moisturize afterward.

It's pretty good, just moisturize and use sunscreen because it can make your skin a bit sensitive while you are using it. Its increases cell turn over and acts as an chemical exfoliant.

What kind of red spots, post pics if you can.

H-How do I get rid of by backne scars?

Depends on how bad they are.

Thanks for your input.

Some user posted this gonna cost some money tho

what about red light therapy

Heard that’s good for your balls

i use a face wash and moisturize every day and night, then use one of those face washes with the hard bits once a week

Not too Bad

Bros my skin is near perfect but I have this weird red rash on my nose which gets a little dry and flaky, I moisturize and wash my face twice daily but it literally won't go away. What do and what is it?

Is pic related good?
I don't have acne breakouts but I definitely have "oil" breakouts at times

I imagine they're pimples of some kind.

I have this on the back of my arms, I dont know what to do about them, The ones I'm my legs, I scratched and scratched till they were gone, do i need to do it to my arms, I hate it(I believe it's kerotosis perilasis)

I haven't even seen that, Is that from a website? Do kiehls it really works for me, if anything and you're hesistant, get samples from them, u can get samples from Sephora too, You'll find out what works for you
I get that when I sweat and don't wash as soon as possible, shower more if u can with soap and change clothing
Do you think it might be eczema? Got pics?
The bits aren't rocky right? They can cause microtears, ball shaped ones are okay for that

I have these on my thighs.

Not on the back of your arms? Did u try scratching them out, it removes the keratin, hair is stuck underneath causing the red dots. I want to chemically do it, but i dont know if it's possible

It could quite possibly be eczema, I used to get it pretty bad as a kid but I don't really have it anymore. My nose is the only part on my body that flares up like this, pretty fucking annoying cause it looks terrible. What you think user? Pic isn't the best but it's as good as I could get, this is after wash and moisturize.

It doesnt look like kerotosis perilasis, but it also looks like eczema, at least the way u describe how it isn't going away. It can be caused my stress (that's how I get mine) or environment, Like how dry or humid, or a reaction. Do you think it's any one of those? Diet can be a thing too

kek

Yeah I'm leaning more towards eczema but it seems weird how it could only be on my nose and no where else. I guess stress / environment could play a part in it too, and my diet isn't too great atm cos I'm dirty bulking like a madman kek.
The last time I can remember not having it completely was like a year or two ago, some days it can flare up pretty bad and some days it can be quite unnoticeable, so I'm genuinely not sure what it is.

>shower more if u can with soap
I try to minimize soap use when I shower but I'll start using it in those areas. Thanks!

Don't close shave what are you 12?

Buy a electric razer and just trim everywhere. No pimples or rashes and you don't like some preteen fgt.

shave less close. go electric

Yeah eczema can be in weird areas, for me it's inside my inner elbow which sucks cause it gets itchy (don't itch it), yeah max sleep and do maybe some more veg and water if u can lol. But yeah it's rare for me unless I'm pretty stressed as well, try to fix those things if u can.
Definitely, it'll disappear pretty soon!

I used to get it really bad inside my elbow too and on my thighs, the thing is my nose doesn't even itch at all so it seems strange. I drink at minimum 2 litres of water a day and try to get at least 8 hours sleep. Stress is something I definitely need to work on, and eating more veg kek.
Oh well I guess I'll just try eczema cream and see what happens, thanks user.

I use mild green tea based facewash 2xday
Pure rose water for toner after
AM: Vit C serum + collagen serum
PM: Retinol serum
(all contain hyaluronic acid)
Then a mild and simple moisturiser, and an eye serum for eye areas
If I'm going outside >5 mins, then a natty sunscreen
Once a week, exfoliate with a washcloth and some coffee grounds, with my face wash

Can anyone say how much a difference there is between prescription grade tretinoin (e.g. Retin-A) and otc retinol? I know the former is stronger or something but by how much?
Might consider a prescription for it, if I can find a doctor who will prescribe for non-existent acne or for anti-ageing when I already look fairly young. Or sourcing some other way...

>tfw big pores and sebaceous filaments
What do I do brehs, looks like I took the biggest size dermaroller across my nose

I use cum from strangers for skin care

I luv bbc

Do you wash your face 2 times a day? A face tightening mask and lotion afterwards could help. It should help in reducing pores and cover it up so less gunk will get in

That's a good routine man, do you top it off with essence? I have a bad habit of not using sunscreen, the ones I find are really thick, which one do you use?

Sorry cant answer your second question

Yeah I use cerave as a cleanser and the AMPM moisturizers. It never really did anything for the pores or filaments. I tried the Aztec mask shit and that helped but I can't tell if it was a placebo or because I had to rinse my face for a solid 5 minutes to get it all off

>what are you 12?

I GOT A CYST ON MY FACE NIGGAS HELP ME OUT ASAP

Attached: 1518299967601.png (450x481, 332K)

Where exactly on your face? I've had one like under my eye, I used a hot towel multiple times, And it disappeared in a few days
Yeah those masks can take a while to remove, u might want to seek a dermatologist, it seems a little too high leveled for me

its a acne cyst

basically a bump
ive been doing the towel and i dont want to wait a week

It looks like pic related

it's crucial but don't use every day

Uh what's essence?
I used some essential oil blend (mixed with coconut oil, no didn't cause acne) for a while but better results with the serums, still use it sometimes because it contains beta-carotene and helps even out tone.

I do always use natty sunscreens, still trying to find the optimal brand. I've been using UV Natural, their Sport version (SPF30+ broad spectrum) and it even lasts well working outside all day (but can rub off a bit so re-apply if it does). Tested out of 6 that a place had in stock and this one had best consistency and rubbed in the best. Only tried two others (ok but not as good) and haven't seen great reviews for many so I'm hesitant to order any others online
What I generally do is just apply it sparingly yet enough to cover (tested and works, since I burn so easily otherwise) and give it a while before heading out. Your skin will still look extra shiny but I don't see a problem there. The other thing is it takes some getting used to sweating while wearing it, the sweat sort of beads and rolls off you easier.
Been considering making my own just with coconut oil and zinc oxide to see if that works OK (and should be cheaper).

Try wiping with an astringent (vinegar, citrus, witch hazel, aloe, w/e) one or twice a day before moisturising

>he doesn't dermaroll his cock and balls

Never gonna make it

Should I use a cleanser before? I think witch hazel says that you could use it as a cleanser

Thanks.

u fix that by using certain types of razors. Schick made a titanium 4 and that worked well for me in my teen years

>He doesn't use differin
Lmaoing at you

Care to elaborate?

I often get a rash on my neck after shaving, on really bad days it'll look like I tried to hang myself, what do?
>inb4 hang yourself so it evens out

What can I seriously do about nose pores. This shit looks like damn moon craters.

Attached: knose.jpg (988x662, 408K)

Fucking this. My nose looks like a strawberry, pls help.

2 options:
1.) man up and endure. Your skin will eventually submit to the blade in time.
2.) use an electric. The angle the hair is cut at and the lack of closeness prevent skin irritation and ingrown hair.

I use a safety razor and alternate shaving days. I still get irritation from time to time, but not a big deal anymore.

Fuck I just bought this shit and it's a fucking life saver.
I spent so much time researching sunscreens. Autistic amounts of time. I tried so many brands and formulas. I'd say I spent 5 years trying new sunscreens every 1-2 months and I hated them all.
This one is the first that doesn't make my eyes sting and my skin itch, and doesn't contain ingredients that disrupt my hormones or produce free-radicals... or turn my skin white.

I'm so happy it's available in the states because all the other sunscreens I wanted to try were banned by the FDA jews.

BHA to soften the sebaceous filaments/blackheads.
Clay mask to suck them out.

Use a BHA liquid (CosRx is good), let it sit on your face for 15 minutes.
Apply clay mask on top, follow directions.
Do this 2x a week and eventually your pores will become less noticeable. However they'll probably never go away entirely.

Also "plumping" the skin around the pores causes them to physically shrink. induce collagen production by using vitamin C serums and also just moisturizing in general.

Retard
Retin-A cucks Differin

I was using doxycycline + differin. Stopped doxycycline, kept differin, acne came back. Fml

Yo I work for Janssen, not kidding. Not for this product tho.

How often should I use retin-A, and what % do I go for?

how to get retin-a without a prescription

>blackheads all over my nose
>skin looks somewhat older than it should (I think) probably due to smoking during my teens

What's the point if you don't even look like this?

Attached: dr. Mike.png (707x738, 940K)

Yeah I have those on my thighs above my knees, my butt, legs, and arms. Stay the fuck away from poison ivy and other skin irritants because those become the size of mosquito bites.

Dude use a pore strip

Micronerdleing the pens are better than the rollers but more expensive.

So, what's your role in the company?

SOMEONE POST AN INDIAN/CHINK PHARMACY THAT WILL SHIP RETIN-A W/O PRESCRIPTION

> day fluid
What did they mean by this

Link to a good one?

I have these on my arms, legs, and butt. feelsbadman. I could probably fix them by exfoliating and using this prescription I have but I give up after not seeing results in a couple days

It feels Godamn bad, but i did manage to fix my legs by continuously exfoliating the hell of them, my arms are screwed, I'm really trying. But fuck man, I'm getting a fit body but it feels bad showing those arms

what can I do for scalp/face psoriasis?
don't get it anywhere else on my body

>if you could use one product as a daily moisturizer/cleaner/whatever, what would it be?
raw organic quality coconut oil.

I get easily irritated around my mouth and have like spots, any idea on how to fix this?

I used to get pretty bad acne as a teenager, but it's mostly gone now. The only problem I have is that I still get a bit on my back. What's the best way to prevent this? I already change my shirts and wash my back daily to prevent oil buildup. Is dermarolling my back a viable option?

is it really as simple as sunscreen during the day and moisturizer at night (if you have oily skin)?

A couple years ago I was a lazy shit who would only shower maybe once a week. Nowadays I do a better job of regularly showering, but my skin and hair are still greasy as shit.
Wat do?
