Omg ure pretty. I give terrible advice so thats all I can say.

 

[Nairod]

Loose weight and water retention are your main priorities as of right now
Also focus on the inflammation in your skin I’m no expert when it comes to that though

 

[xia]

problems i already know:

eyebrow patch missing hair from frequent shaving i dont want to exactly bleed with the micro abrasions roller that men use for beards for a tiny spot fix.
acne obviously (i use skincare, silk pillowcase)
needa debloat
hair too frizzy even tho i use 5 products
lips always dry even tho i use lip scrub and lip mask is there something stronger?

what the fuck is water retention

what the fuck is water retention

The entire reason the term “debloat” exists it’s the water in your face that causes the bloated appearance

also tried on contacts today since brown eyes are ugly apparently, it legit makes me look like an egirl like a stripper/hostess/ai
could tell me to wear a wig to hide my hair problems but i look even more like a stripper with that

i deadass thought it was just a word for "removing face fat" im retarded
thought chugging a bunch of water plus cutting sugar/salt & calorie deficit helped, or should i not chug water?

Nah gang don’t chug water I used to be one of those n*****s that thought chugging water was the answer to everything but it’s not. If anything it does more harm than good cause TOO MUCH water can actually dehydrate you.

removing water retention doesn't do much tbh, I think weight loss is the best thing you can do rn

Rly just depends on how much retention you have if you’re a greedy fuck that likes to eat noodles and ice cream all day then you’ll have a fuck ton of retention and you’ll look ugly af. But if you aren’t suffering from much retention then yes not much of a difference

What lip mask r u using rn? And skincare?

Hmm. Wouldn't recommend the laneige one if you were considering buything that. Personally I just use straight up Vaseline and it does the trick. The ones in the mini pots are especially good imo

I'm gonna get the "duh" stuff out the way but drinking water, big difference ofc. But also water temperature. Washing your face with water on the colder side has improve my skin drastically. Not ICE cold but just not hot. Helps not strip natural oils from ur face. My personal holy grail is the benton snail bee essence. Been using it since middle school and never failed me. The


What do u use to exfoliate? Physical or chemical? I used to have oily skin when I was younger but now have dry-combo. Any some by mi products were WAY too harsh on my skin. I'd try to maybe phase that out especially since you said you have sensitive skin. The rest of ur skincare seems pretty good, I haven't rlly tried anything from anua. Etude house ehh not the biggest fan.

 

[xia]

would never buy a sephora hyped product anyway, i brought klavuu cos its called the same as laneige but cheaper

i was thinking of starting to use essence/serum after sticking to a basic routine cos "basic is better" prolly the anua niacinamide cos the isoi blemish serum isnt in stock locally i kinda wanna stick to a whole line for skincare cos itll use similar ingredients

literally the clay mask is my exfoliation and apparently thats still harsh for weekly so its monthly like she said my skin barrier is damaged
"weak keratin levels, weak barrier, skin prone to redness"

etude house has no benefit other than being the most gentle thing i can find, im just tryna have a clean face in the morning to get rid of oil from overnight their lash serum has made me stop using mascara cos its reaching my skin so i kinda trust them

speaking of water, im too stupid to open up my tap & shower to clean it out like ur supposed to do. wanted to add a filter too but my sink is built kinda weird where its not easy for attachments

You look fine for the most part, try to keep a consistent skincare routine that works for you, try lip plumper if you want, and debloat. I think debloatings the main thing youd wanna focus on though.

 

[Scenehikikomori]

Debloat and lose weight you're already rlly pretty so not much else

I've heard that using a whole same skincare line is actually counter productive but don't quote me on that. I heard it years ago. But yeah less is more when it comes to skincare

I'd maybe try and switch to BHA rather than clay masks. They work well to get the gunk out ofc but it's worth trying it could work for you. The ma:nyo bifida ampoule line helped w my skin barrier. Purito panthenol cream is also a pretty good bang for your buck and is light weight and is nice for sensitive skin imo.

If you like foaming I'd recommend the matcha cleanser from B.Lab. super gentle and simple and gets the job done + Good price where I buy it. I've also heard people say the Cosrx gel cleanser is good for oily skin. Their lash serum is rlly good tho ill give them that I use that one too

Try just cold water for mean while. Till can clean/figure out the filter situation

i tried the manyo oil + foam cleanser and it felt like shit, smelt bad, felt weird & foam was too stripping idk if i wanna touch manyo again even tho ik they have good reviews

i actually used to use purito centella/bamboo moisturiser but for oily skin but lotion will always be lighter

i thought the matcha cleanser was just paying a bunch of influencers to promote it i mean look at the pr packages

yuh i will, im considering starting to ice my face in the morning but if its only temporary fix then seems not worth it
like my face has been the same imo no matter what i eat even tho i havent had the chance to have a longterm diet cos obese dad gets the groceries & ITS ALWAYS DAIRY & PROCESSED theres not even enough veggies to make a salad this would be so much easier if i lived alone tryna change him wont work i pulled up w the "yk what dairy makes u the fattest out of all things bc its literally intended to fatten u up so u survive as an infant right? the food that u eat at the earliest stage of ur life is of course going to give you the most body mass, seal milk is literally 50% fat" doesnt work, mf literally said that my almond milk tasted better than cows milk then proceeded to buy 3 litres of cows milk after that. bro stuffed cheese in chicken for dinner.

Oh god no the oil is ASS. I bought a jumbo size and fucking regret it I'm just trying to use it to as quick as possible. The spray is pretty good tho I've rebought it twice already, no bad smell. But that fucking oil cleanser is hyped for no good reason

i thought the matcha cleanser was just paying a bunch of influencers to promote it i mean look at the pr packages

I thought so too ngl till I bit the bullet and just bought it. I think it's deserving of the hype tho. K-beauty is such a gamble bc u can't rlly tell if something is good or not when everyone is getting commission or being sponsored

I feel you ughhhh. Family buying fat ass food makes changing ur diet so hard. My mom makes just pure fried foods + carbs carbs carbs. I think I'd crash out at the cheese in the chicken tho u r stronger than me girl holy shiet.
