Iron nail🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👿👿👿

its bcz its exam time and i am staying way too late daily like 2 am

yea stress and going to sleep late can definitely influence it

Hey guys ive updated the sunlight thread, added some more info about the impact of certain types of light against the bacteria involved with acne, which can be received from sunlight at certain types of the day: https://discord.com/channels/1169738819688468501/1179930971194265713/1186056827620835398 (edited)

what are your thoughts on coconut oil?

11:31 AM

I've heard it's antibacterial

11:31 AM

but i've also heard it cloggs pores

11:31 AM

so I don't really know what to think anymore

for using it on your face?

11:45 AM

Yeah im not sure, I dont use anything "skincare" related anymore. I just use salt baths, cold showers, and sunlight (edited)

11:47 AM

salt baths and various light kills p acnes as that bacteria is photosensitive

Leroy

what are your thoughts on coconut oil?

Just try it I guess

11:53 AM

It might clog pores, but it could also kill the bacteria

11:53 AM

So you might see benefits still, im not too sure

Alr cool

11:57 AM

thanks

11:58 AM

yeah, it's kinda confusing lol

hi @Deleted User

Chip

hi @Deleted User

Hey

Deleted User

Hey

are you looking for general acne advice or skincare?

Chip

are you looking for general acne advice or skincare?

Both to be honest

how far along are you and what have you tried?

Well I don't really have acne but about every 4 week I break out for a week and get these tiny pimples only on the forehead area

12:40 PM

I tried tret / retinol / urea to treat them but nothing seems to work they always form again ( didn't use these products at the same time) (edited)

12:40 PM

Benzoyl peroxide helped the most

Deleted User

Well I don't really have acne but about every 4 week I break out for a week and get these tiny pimples only on the forehead area

male or female, and how old are you?

Male 22

12:42 PM

I also got black heads in the nose area since forever

do you use a hair product?

12:43 PM

and is it always only on the forehead, or in other areas sometimes?

Not at all I usually shave my head

12:44 PM

Only on the forehead area I rarely get any pimples in my cheeks or nose

it could be fungal / bacterial

12:44 PM

which explains why BP works

Chip

which explains why BP works

Yeah I noticed that too but it still doesn't get rid of them but definitely lowers them

but if youre saying it happens every 4 weeks, it could be something else

12:46 PM

whats your diet like?

It's not technically every 4 weeks but its weird sometimes I have really clear skin sometimes I have really bad skin

i see

Chip

whats your diet like?

Tbh it's bad mostly fast food ( I'm not overweight ) but I try to fix some wrongs by taking supplements which might help a little bit

ah okay

12:48 PM

do you have other skin or health related issues you can think of (other than the blackheads)?

Yeah I got combo skin dry-oily

12:49 PM

Health related I don't have any issues

okay

12:49 PM

no skin tags, dandruff, eczema, bloating, fatigue etc?

Not at all

12:50 PM

Dandruff sometimes when I get my head irritated if I shave too harshly (edited)

hmm

12:50 PM

are you taking very hot showers?

I used to take hot showers now it's slightly warm showers which helped reduce the dryness (edited)

12:51 PM

My skin responds better to colder showers

ok cool

12:51 PM

little bumps and blemishes can sometimes be caused by hot showers

12:52 PM

which country are you from?

Canada

everyone's from canada

12:52 PM

I swear haha

12:52 PM

how much sunlight are you getting up there?

Hahahaha

12:55 PM

To be honest none

how longs it been?

Since 2019 I mostly go out on nights

12:57 PM

I just realized something ever since I stopped going out during the day/morning the acne started

Deleted User

I just realized something ever since I stopped going out during the day/morning the acne started

so youve had acne for 5 yrs?

But the black heads are from puberty

Chip

so youve had acne for 5 yrs?

No no not constant acne like my skin mostly is clear but i get these annoying bumps every couple of weeks

Deleted User

But the black heads are from puberty

black heads or sebacious filaments occur at a younger at especially on the nose

Deleted User

No no not constant acne like my skin mostly is clear but i get these annoying bumps every couple of weeks

so those bumps for 5 years or so?

Chip

so those bumps for 5 years or so?

Exactly

are you pale or?

I'm tanned

12:59 PM

Latino tan

oh okay, which means you would require even more sunlight if youre somewhere like canada

1:00 PM

how about exercise?

The bumps are like these ones under the skin

Chip

how about exercise?

I exercise 5 days a week

Deleted User

I exercise 5 days a week

cardio or resistance training?

Cardio and weight lifting 5 days a week

cool, I reckon your acne would be worse without that

1:01 PM

with your diet, do you drink sugary drinks?

The only way to find out is if I stopped xD

1

Chip

with your diet, do you drink sugary drinks?

I drink sugar free sodas but I don't usually eat or drink stuff with sugar

1:02 PM

With high sugar

okay

1:02 PM

hows your stress and sleep?

I generally don't have a stressful life

1:03 PM

Sleep is a long story

1:04 PM

I generally Sleep alot like 10+ hours

1:04 PM

Sometimes I can sleep for 20 hours

whys that?

To he honest I don't know but I been like that since forever

1:05 PM

My mom too

im gonna guess sunlight defiency or a sleep disorder

1:06 PM

could be sleep apnea

1:06 PM

do you snore?

Probably sunlight defiency or both

Chip

could be sleep apnea

I did a sleep study I don't have sleep apnea

Deleted User

I did a sleep study I don't have sleep apnea

okay thats good

1:07 PM

I reckon its diet or sunlight then

But I noticed the longer I spend on electronics / watching TV the longer I sleep

1:07 PM

When I have a regular routine I don't sleep as much

how often do you get sick?

Deleted User

But I noticed the longer I spend on electronics / watching TV the longer I sleep

yeah blue light at night etc messes up the circadian rythm, sunlight can help keep it in check (edited)

Chip

how often do you get sick?

Rarely like in the past 10 years maybe 3 or 4 times (edited)

oh wow

1:09 PM

have you had any blood work done?

I got blood work in 2021 for liver and kidney stuff but not a full panel

all normal?

It was normal

do you still have the results somewhere?

Unfortunately no but it was just about liver enzymes and kidney acid or something like that

ah crap. was curious about the liver enzymes

1:23 PM

I reckon getting out in the sun more (make sure you dont burn though), and eating more whole foods instead of fast food will probably help

1:24 PM

also, do you take any supplements?

Chip

I reckon getting out in the sun more (make sure you dont burn though), and eating more whole foods instead of fast food will probably help

Yeah definitely

Chip

also, do you take any supplements?

Yes zinc magnesium d3 multivitamin

Deleted User

Yes zinc magnesium d3 multivitamin

how much D3 is in that?

1:28 PM

are you consuming protein powders or anything. nuts?

Chip

how much D3 is in that?

They are separate supplements I used to get 5000 iu now it's 2000 iu

Chip

are you consuming protein powders or anything. nuts?

Protein powders I don't consume them anymore

1

Deleted User

They are separate supplements I used to get 5000 iu now it's 2000 iu

ah yeah 5000 is probably why you dont have bad symptoms of lack of sunlight

I think I would have severe health complications If I didn't take vitamin d supplements

1:31 PM

I'm currently thinking of trying out Paul Saladino animal based diet

possibly yea, you would get sick a lot more imo

Deleted User

I'm currently thinking of trying out Paul Saladino animal based diet

If youre gonna do that, I suggest low sugar fruits such as berries, and only small amounts of liver if youre gonna do that

But I'm confused on how I would get my carbs

you replace carbs with fats

1:32 PM

mostly

I tried animal meats ( including organs) and fruits diet I felt fantastic the only down side was stinky farts

its a bad idea to have a mix of fats and carbs usually

1:33 PM

either go low fat, or low carb

Deleted User

I tried animal meats ( including organs) and fruits diet I felt fantastic the only down side was stinky farts

lol

1:33 PM

I wonder if the gas was from fruits or organs

Probably the fruits I had to stop the diet cause my girlfriend was getting tortured

LOL

1:34 PM

Im pretty sure high fibre foods can cause gas, but maybe meat does for some people too

Deleted User

Probably the fruits I had to stop the diet cause my girlfriend was getting tortured

how much fruit were you eating?

Chip

how much fruit were you eating?

Alot about 600 to 800 grams daily

grams of fruit, or net carbs?

Grams not net carbs

ahhh okay, which fruits ?

It was a lot variety of fruits from sweet to sour

ah yep

1:38 PM

I would be careful with lots of fruits unless youre very active and out in the sun

Yeah I was worried about the sugar intake but it made me feel so energetic in the gym

1:40 PM

If I would try it again I would definitely modify sugar intake and keep it in check (edited)

Deleted User

Yeah I was worried about the sugar intake but it made me feel so energetic in the gym

yea definitely

1:42 PM

eating it 1-2 hours before a workout would be the best time to get those benefits, and also to stop insane blood glucose spikes

That what I used to do

1:46 PM

Get most of my fruits pre and post workout

1:46 PM

And the last meals It would be only meats

I am on my 7th week of differin

11:53 PM

what condition?

So sience i was 11 or 12

9:49 AM

Wait i need to translet it

yeah literally any condition could give clues

Nystagmus

9:50 AM

And i think I have low iron

9:50 AM

So now im eating foods with iron

9:50 AM

But beside that im healthy

danny38000

Nystagmus

could be linked with vitamins B1 or B12

I dont think so

have you had that your whole life?

I had it since i was child

Chip

have you had that your whole life?

Yes

okay

danny38000

And i think I have low iron

why do you think that?

I have simptoms of that

like what

Cold hand, white spots on nails, bad apptite (edited)

9:55 AM

I think that my acne is mostly cause by puberty

9:56 AM

And i only have them on my face and not on my body

danny38000

And i only have them on my face and not on my body

thats quite normal

danny38000

I think that my acne is mostly cause by puberty

yeah primarily, but there could be other things influencing

9:58 AM

it could be a nutrient defiency like you said (edited)

9:58 AM

have you tracked your food intake with any apps?

No i didnt

9:59 AM

I was skinny at 55kg

9:59 AM

Now am 62

are you growing in height?

Am 174, i grew last winter like crazy but not this one

are you very skinny then ?

Ye

10:00 AM

Like i said i was 55 but now im 62 trying to get to like 67

I would guess it would be nutrient defiency, especially since youre working out at a young age and also growing

10:01 AM

do you know roughly how many grams of meat youre eating?

If we have steak for lunch ill eat abt 2 to 3 steaks, abt 10 cm long

10:08 AM

I also change my bedshites every 2 weeks

10:09 AM

And now we are painting walls in our home, so from all of dust my face got worst

danny38000

If we have steak for lunch ill eat abt 2 to 3 steaks, abt 10 cm long

hmm

10:16 AM

I reckon track your food for a day on an app

10:17 AM

Your diet seems pretty good from what I can tell

Should i eat more or less

10:18 AM

I mean not more or less food but more or less meat, bread and stuff like that

if youre skinny, growing, and doing weight lifting, I would say more

10:18 AM

more fatty red meat

1

10:19 AM

I mean it depends on how much bread youre eating

10:19 AM

bread is a really crap source of nutrients

I dont eat that much, 2 breads a lunch

10:19 AM

Sometimes 1

like 1-2 slices? thats not much then

10:19 AM

which is good

Chip

like 1-2 slices? thats not much then

Yeah

you want to be getting most of your energy and protein from high quality fatty red meat, sometimes chicken

10:20 AM

and then you can add vegetables in there as well

10:20 AM

sometimes fruits

Chip

you want to be getting most of your energy and protein from high quality fatty red meat, sometimes chicken

Yeah, that is what i try to do

problem with chicken is its very lean, and doesnt have lots of fat for the fat soluble nutrients

danny38000

Yeah, that is what i try to do

nice. you might just have to eat a bit more

10:23 AM

are you eating lots of potatoes?

When i have them yes

10:28 AM

With what should i wash my face

gentle cleanser and cold/semi warm water (edited)

Can I ask for details about the electrolyte drink

yeah these are the ingredients per serve:

1:34 PM

I just add this to water

1:34 PM

useful if youre sweating a lot

1:35 PM

youd have to find something similar in your country probably

Chip

yeah these are the ingredients per serve:

Damn I never found anything with good dosages

Good morning

1:55 PM

How much sun exposure should I get daily

1:55 PM

And is it fine if I don't use sun screen

personally I get sunlight when the UV index is low 0-3

2:05 PM

If I get sunlight during the middle of the day and the UV index is very high, ill only go get like 5-10 min exposure (UV index 10-13)

2:05 PM

if youre outside for extended periods of time and the UV index is very high then use suncreen

2:06 PM

make sure you dont burn

how deep is it?

2:27 PM

If it feels like its deep and theres no head then itll have more likelihood of scarring

Chip

If it feels like its deep and theres no head then itll have more likelihood of scarring

Not very deep and you can feel it with your fingers, like a lil bump

2:28 PM

I think it’s just a lil scab

it probably wont be too bad then

Chip

it probably wont be too bad then

Okay ty bc I’m petrified of scars now

haha ive got a bunch in the centre of my cheeks

2:31 PM

the deep ones are always there for me

Chip

If I get sunlight during the middle of the day and the UV index is very high, ill only go get like 5-10 min exposure (UV index 10-13)

How long do you stay out

Can someone explain this

2:44 AM

People say like cleaning your face with a warm clothe is good

2:44 AM

And cold water is good

2:45 AM

So is cold or warm water good for your face

2:45 AM

I don’t get it

Carterr

So is cold or warm water good for your face

lukewarm water is preferable better than washing your face with hot water. since hot water can sensitize the skin more.

Maybe dairy could be the problem

3:20 AM

But I didn’t have acne like a year ago

3:20 AM

Or I had a lot less (edited)

3:21 AM

It’s gotten a lot worse

I thought ice sensitized skin more

3:22 AM

do like in the middle

3:22 AM

Between hot and cold

I saw that ice on face helped a lot of people

5:47 AM

I tried it 2 days ago and my face isnt as red as was

Carterr

But I didn’t have acne like a year ago

I saw that ice on face helped a lot of people

Idk I heard from someone its bad or something

6:21 AM

maybe its not

6:23 AM

Also I think eating nuts is healthy

6:23 AM

Like walnuts contain lots of zinc

Adding Walnuts to the Usual Diet Can Improve Diet Quality in the Un...

Background: The under-consumption of calcium, potassium, fiber, and vitamin D is considered a U.S. public health concern. Shifts in eating patterns that increase the consumption of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts/seeds, and dairy products can help ...

6:24 AM

(According to the USDA, 1 ounce (28.35 g) of walnuts contains 185 kcal, 4.32 g of protein, 1.74 g of saturated fat, 2.57 g of omega-3 PUFA (ALA), 10.8 g of omega-6 PUFA (Linoleic acid), 27.8 mg of calcium, 44.8 mg of magnesium, 27.8 µg dietary folate equivalents (DFE), 0.198 mg of vitamin E, 125 mg of potassium, 0.451 mg of copper, 0.876 mg of zinc, and 1.9 g of fiber [20].)

6:24 AM

Like a handfull per day about is good

6:24 AM

Zinc helps with hair, skin, etc

6:26 AM

Most nuts, healthy food have lots of good nutrients which is why diet is important i think

6:27 AM

Also like just milk

6:27 AM

Milk has zinc

6:27 AM

But I do skin care, 8-9 hours of sleep, try to avoid touching my face, and I still have acne

meat has high zinc

Carterr

yeah if you’re going thru growth spurts then it could be nutrient deficiency causing it, or hormones

Carterr

Idk I heard from someone its bad or something

ice directly on face should be avoided

6:36 AM

it just needs to be cold enough to increase blood flow

Basically anything healthy has zinc I realize now

Yo is this safe to use after dermaplanning?

Dentist 'tried to realign children's teeth with unproven procedures'

Dr Mike Mew (pictured) could be struck off over 'pejorative' claims he tested out a 'invasive and harmful' treatment on a six-year-old boy and girl to realign their teeth and lift their jawlines.

Apparently the creator of mewing got his license taken away for "The elder Mew, who founded the London School of Orthotropics, stepped down in 2017 after losing his license from the General Dental Council in the U.K. "on grounds of misconduct for publicly denigrating the traditional practices of orthodontic tooth movement," according to the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.Apr 11, 2023 "

What ik is lifting your tongue up can make ur jawline look a little better, but putting pressure against your teeth could cause lots of problems, and clenching your jaw and teeth could cause even more problems while doing it. Breathing through your noise, it is proven to filter out like dust and bad stuff you breath in.

But I have issues with scarring

Acne is IMO 95% within your control

9:05 AM

Just diet and life style

Well of course skincare won't clear your skin

9:07 AM

You have a new set of skin after a little more than a month

My lifestyle changes will

I don't know if this will help but for me

Srsly speaking if I stop coping I can make my skin better

Biggest acne triggers are any form of: Dairy - Eggs - Seed Oils - Gluten.

I'm good w most foods

9:09 AM

I fucked up my early teens with too much junk n hair product

Yeah that's most of us lol

If I didnt use that hair product high chance I wouldn't have scars

For scarring?

Yeah

Cuz I picked up niacinamide serum

I would do that over any retinol

And vit c

Vitamin C usually oxidizes rather quickly

9:11 AM

it's hard to have it in it's stable form

Vit c is good to prevent hyperpigmentation of scars

Niacinamide never helped my skin

AshWasTaken

Vit c is good to prevent hyperpigmentation of scars

Sure

9:12 AM

benzoyl peroxide is good for "healing acne too"

9:12 AM

but it just damages the skin barrier

9:12 AM

and makes you never able to gun in the sun

Thas what

9:12 AM

Idk for 100 percent my skin type...

9:12 AM

I did the tissue test mf nothing happend

9:13 AM

I take it to be oily or combi

The only skincare you need

9:13 AM

is a gentle cleanser

9:13 AM

and light weight moisturizer

9:13 AM

sunscreen if you're afraid of UV rays

9:13 AM

anything more will damage your skin barrier

9:13 AM

or be a temporary band aid fix

9:13 AM

My moisturizers

if you are RELIANT on a skincare product to keep your skin clear, like Benzoyl Peroxide, that means your skin barrier is so damaged from benzoyl peroxide the Sebum can't even clog the pores properly

I dont use benzyl

It's an example my friend

Ic

9:14 AM

Never rly liked benzhl peroxide

Are you indonesian

5:49 AM

Beronic

@Chip I have this rash on the arm, been with me for the past 6 years, still don't know what it is

is it itchy or get flare ups?

Chip

is it itchy or get flare ups?

No, it's just there, I don't feel anything from it

Beronic

No, it's just there, I don't feel anything from it

is it just scarring then?

Chip

is it just scarring then?

I think so

3:45 PM

It's like an acne that can never get popped

Beronic

It's like an acne that can never get popped

8:30 PM

change ur shampoo

8:30 PM

and use a exfoliator

8:30 PM

done

yo guys I said no to accutine, is that smart choice

cant comment

12:13 AM

never delt with acne which needed accutane

Marko

yo guys I said no to accutine, is that smart choice

depends on how severe the acne is tbh

12:16 AM

if theres heaps of cystic acne and causing bad scarring then it could be an option if you have already explored lifestyle changes

12:16 AM

some people might get negative side effects, or it might not help long term though

AshWasTaken

and use a exfoliator

i'll update you

Marko

yo guys I said no to accutine, is that smart choice

no

2:34 AM

How can I get rid of textured skin

exfoliator?

Chip

if theres heaps of cystic acne and causing bad scarring then it could be an option if you have already explored lifestyle changes

accutane is literally poison that suppresses symptoms, accutane is never an option bro l0l

4:16 AM

once the liver regains function to purge toxines through skin, it comes back, accutane is the most damaging drug given by dermatologists

Marko

yo guys I said no to accutine, is that smart choice

I heard glycolic acid helps alot but before using it do your research

Wash your face in the morning with cold water and with cold water before bed.

6:30 AM

That type of acne you see commonly from dairy

6:30 AM

Many small pustules

Christoffer

accutane is literally poison that suppresses symptoms, accutane is never an option bro l0l

yeah i’m talking about really bad scarring and disfigured face from acne

not 100% sure if this is only caused by acne, but i’d only take accutane if it signs it was turning into something like this, or i’ve exhausted every other option first (edited)

SPOILER

fadi

That type of acne you see commonly from dairy

NOOOOOO

8:24 AM

I LOVE MILK

Chip

not 100% sure if this is only caused by acne, but i’d only take accutane if it signs it was turning into something like this, or i’ve exhausted every other option first (edited)

over for him

Accutane destroys skin healing and makes it bad before it becoles better

8:31 AM

Healing root cause of acne removes it instantly and it heals immediately

8:31 AM

Accutane is never a smart option

Christoffer

Accutane is never a smart option

why do doctors give it then

doll

why do doctors give it then

because they have studies to back it up

9:25 AM

it was originally intended to prevent skin cancer

doll

why do doctors give it then

doctors like to give a pill for various things, its one of the oldest treatments historically: 1920s: benzoyl peroxide 1950s: antiobiotics for acne 1960s: retinoids 1980s: accutane 1990s-2000s: laser treatment

i got this for my acne

9:53 AM

it works but my skin is so dry now

and it gets red and burns abit after i put it on

9:53 AM

my doctor said it's normal tho

9:53 AM

ig it is since it's working?..

9:53 AM

idk

yeah benzoyl is harsh depending on the dose

Yh but he said it's gonna get better in a few weeks

9:54 AM

he told me to take it for 2 months and see him after

my face and pillow cases got bleached from benzoyl + adapelene lol

ur face?

9:55 AM

wait what

the areas I applied epiduo dont really tan at all now

i feel like my eyebrows got abit lighter since i started using it maybe i'm delusional

takes some time to go back to normal

at least i have makeup

doll

he told me to take it for 2 months and see him after

how often do you take it? I did epiduo for 2 months consistently and was still "purging"

just once every night

9:56 AM

after i cleanse

9:57 AM

I put it on then moisturiser and yh that's all

9:57 AM

i stopped using like 7 products

9:57 AM

2 much for my skin i think

doll

i stopped using like 7 products

bruh

LOL

9:57 AM

MB

9:57 AM

i was addicted to buying everything i saw on tiktok

9:57 AM

doll

just once every night

did they say you can use it every second day or smaller amounts to stop irritation?

Chip

did they say you can use it every second day or smaller amounts to stop irritation?

Hm no

thats what some people do when they first start out with it

idk... would it still be effective?

also make sure you wear sunscreen because it causes your skin to become hypersensitive to sunlight

Yeah i do

9:59 AM

I love sunscreen

doll

idk... would it still be effective?

yeh thats the only thing haha

Chip

yeh thats the only thing haha

my theory is benzoyl makes your skin hypersensitive to sunlight, and thats one of the ways it works to kill p acnes bacteria

Lmaoo i actually barely stay in the sun

vitamin D deficient

When i'm out i'm usually inside buildings

Chip

vitamin D deficient

getting a blood test on wednesday

10:00 AM

ill see if smth is wrong..

nice

10:01 AM

do you get cystic acne?

idk like what type i actually have do u want a pic?

doll

idk like what type i actually have do u want a pic?

ok

dms

yo

10:19 AM

I still get few pimples

10:19 AM

even thought it seems like im doing everything agaist it

ember

even thought it seems like im doing everything agaist it

that's what i thought

Skincare, hydrated, I eat pretty clean, no sugar, salicylic acid, and still (edited)

ember

I still get few pimples

how often?

Maybe 1-3 weekly

is there a reduction in number or inflamed pimples? it can take some time

Normally I wouldnt get any inflamed pimples, just the ordinary white heads, but for the past 1-2 weeks, I had one spot where it got really inflamed and big spot

10:25 AM

I didnt even pop it, I just let it be

10:26 AM

but it doesnt go away

10:28 AM

...?

10:29 AM

never had as big as this

what have you been eating recently?

In general almost the same thing

do you get bloating/gas after eating certain foods? (edited)

no

10:32 AM

I just checked my photos, I've had that spot with pimple for like 3 weeks

10:32 AM

at some point it got better, then worse

ember

at some point it got better, then worse

same with mine

ember

no

are you eating lots of carbs or dairy? (edited)

carbs yes, dairy im trying to reduce

10:35 AM

For one week when I cut out milk from my diet, I had one side of my face completely acne free

10:35 AM

I replaced milk with oat milk

if youre gonna drink animal milk, you can try unhomogenised, raw, goats milk, lactose free, etc

recently I started drinking milk again, that might explain the breakouts

if youre already eating lots of carbs, milk wont help

thing is, milk is a good source of protein for my diet

especially commercial milk

I still get my daily intake, but a bit more is good

eat chicken/fish/red meat for protein

I mostly get my protein from eggs

getting above daily requirement is very easy with eating more meat tbh

true

10:39 AM

what milk is best for acne

10:39 AM

lactose free is dairy free?

they all have potential issues

10:39 AM

the best probably would be raw fermented goats milk

i drink vegan milk

doll

i drink vegan milk

soy

my only issue with oat milk or soy, is that its kinda expensive

Chip

soy

is it bad

10:41 AM

I finished this whole thing in 2 days

raw milk: not highly processed, doesnt destroy enzymes, beneficial bacteria, not homogenised fermentation: reduces lactose goat milk: A2 milk for those sensitive to cow protein (edited)

raw milk is illegal in uk

doll

raw milk is illegal in uk

theres only one place I can get raw

i tried goat milk but it kinda tastes like bad...

Chip

theres only one place I can get raw

there's farms but they're farrr

10:42 AM

and apparently raw milk isn't healthy

10:43 AM

I asked on facebook like where to get it near me and everyone in the comments said " r u dumb" "don't get it you'll get sick"

doll

and apparently raw milk isn't healthy

if the animals are healthy and proper practices for cleanliness is in place then it can be a lot healthier

oh

10:43 AM

idk cause what if i go very far then the ppl don't even agree to give it

yeah prob not worth it then

uk is so stupid

10:44 AM

wish i was american they got raw milk everywhere

would rather just avoid milk

I used to drink alotttt LIKE

10:44 AM

alot of cow milk

10:44 AM

cause i thought it would make my boobs bigger

10:44 AM

such a lie

10:45 AM

just made my skin ugly

doll

is it bad

i dont think its good to drink soy personally

Chip

i dont think its good to drink soy personally

why

10:45 AM

Why mfs always hating on soy

so what am i doin wrong?

ember

so what am i doin wrong?

EVERYTHING!

doll

why

estrogenic effects, its a legume, some people have allergies to it like peanuts

Chip

estrogenic effects, its a legume, some people have allergies to it like peanuts

i'm not allergic

10:46 AM

never makes me sick

10:46 AM

also who gives a fuck if it has estrogen i'm a girl anyway

10:46 AM

the only ppl i see saying it's bad r men ngl

ye then youre probably fine with it but i wouldnt recommend to everyone

one day... ill stop my cereal addiction...

i try to avoid legumes like peanuts and soy (edited)

10:47 AM

theres probably a reason why a lot of people are allergic to it

doll

one day... ill stop my cereal addiction...

yeh i gave that one up hahahaa

10:48 AM

@ember probably with u on the cereal still

i hate nuts

cereal? yea

doll

is it bad

rahh

physically I feel like bloated, less gas, I feel satiated from the food

10:15 AM

mentally not much different, probably wake up earlier every day more easily

I might try it again tried it in 2018 or 19 felt great Tried it in 2022 felt like pure death bad slap and no energy (edited)

whats that?

Carnivore

coyote

Carnivore

did you have acne back then

Nope I only had acne for a couple of months when I was like 15 in 2016 never had acne since

11:39 AM

Maybe minor breakouts here and there

coyote

I might try it again tried it in 2018 or 19 felt great Tried it in 2022 felt like pure death bad slap and no energy (edited)

what were you eating in 2022 for it?

Fatty rib eye steaks and lamb chops mostly (edited)

Saechan

Hello I'm new I am Korean I was born in The United States, and I'm 14 (edited)

3:51 PM

I struggle to get comfortable in bed

Chip

how much meat were you eating and did you do a slow transition to it. how long did you stay on it

Approximately 1.5-2 kg of meat. I didn't slowly transition it went at it straight. I would say about 5-6 weeks.

coyote

Approximately 1.5-2 kg of meat. I didn't slowly transition it went at it straight. I would say about 5-6 weeks.

hmm you could try adding fruits, dairy, or certain veggies and see what makes you feel better

4:13 PM

I use carnivore as an elimination diet for acne. if it isnt working in terms of energy then gotta experiment (edited)

how do I send my form

send here or DM me

Chip

hmm you could try adding fruits, dairy, or certain veggies and see what makes you feel better

Definitely I might go on a animal based diet and use fruits and dairy as my carb sources ( keeping the carb range in the mid range) (edited)

Do you think it's optimal in the long run

Yo

5:12 AM

Can someone tell me what is my hair type

5:12 AM

Is it like wavy hair or ...

coyote

Do you think it's optimal in the long run

i think for those who are active and trying to put on mass, beef is a very good source of everything you need. adding in other foods like vegetables and fruits that you tolerate well are also good

9:12 AM

fruit in particular could be useful for very active people when they need a decent amount of carbs

9:13 AM

but i see fruit as a dessert tbh (edited)

Chip

fruit in particular could be useful for very active people when they need a decent amount of carbs

That's true the problem with carnivore is i need carbs cause I do long runs often and I don't feel that good when using fats as an energy source during high intensity cardio

i don’t think any single way of eating is optimal long term. it would have to change or things might have to be reintroduced occasionally

9:15 AM

but i still believe we should be getting the majority of our energy from ruminant animals

coyote

That's true the problem with carnivore is i need carbs cause I do long runs often and I don't feel that good when using fats as an energy source during high intensity cardio

are you sure it’s the sugar and not electrolytes or something else?

Chip

i don’t think any single way of eating is optimal long term. it would have to change or things might have to be reintroduced occasionally

True true I guess keeping it balanced is the ideal way to go unless you have a disease where you can't eat certain foods

coyote

True true I guess keeping it balanced is the ideal way to go unless you have a disease where you can't eat certain foods

yeah balanced as in seasonal variation, not balanced as in eating a bit of everything every day

Chip

are you sure it’s the sugar and not electrolytes or something else?

I'm pretty sure cause my electrolytes and water intake is on point doesn't carbohydrates help hold water in the muscle cells or something like that

9:17 AM

I could still perform on low carb but not as good

coyote

I'm pretty sure cause my electrolytes and water intake is on point doesn't carbohydrates help hold water in the muscle cells or something like that

yeah insulin spiking helps hold onto electrolytes

coyote

I could still perform on low carb but not as good

well definitely you could add carbs in your case there

9:18 AM

from a good source of fruit or something

9:18 AM

most people on carnivore are eliminating everything to find what works and what doesn’t for them

coyote

I could still perform on low carb but not as good

some people argue it takes awhile to become adapted to it, but i’m not sure for high intensity cardio etc

Chip

some people argue it takes awhile to become adapted to it, but i’m not sure for high intensity cardio etc

I think it's mostly genetics on how our bodies use fats as energy and how people react to it. Some people can perform really good on low carbs and even improve doing intense workouts and some people can barely function on low carbs

coyote

I think it's mostly genetics on how our bodies use fats as energy and how people react to it. Some people can perform really good on low carbs and even improve doing intense workouts and some people can barely function on low carbs

yeah genetics and previous habits

9:22 AM

like i’m not too sure how different it would be after 2 years of doing it

9:22 AM

could be better or could be worse based on the individual

9:22 AM

but occasional fruit should be ok for most people based on seasonal availability

Chip

could be better or could be worse based on the individual

I agree

9:25 AM

Currently I'm overseas here fruit is mostly imported so grocery stores usually have most fruits available regardless of the season

coyote

Currently I'm overseas here fruit is mostly imported so grocery stores usually have most fruits available regardless of the season

yeahh same

9:27 AM

I used to eat quite a bit of fruits every day but its kind of overkill

9:27 AM

especially on days youre not doing lots of activity

Chip

I used to eat quite a bit of fruits every day but its kind of overkill

Yeah it's makes you really gassy

9:37 AM

Like if you had a gf or wife the relationship won't last long with you nuking them with gas every 5 minutes xD

coyote

Yeah it's makes you really gassy

hahaha usually pastas or legumes do that for me

Blame it on the dog

coyote

Just bought some beef,lamb,keffeir milk and a variety of fruits

i prefer berries usually if i’m gonna eat fruits

Chip

i prefer berries usually if i’m gonna eat fruits

Berries are good low sugar high fiber and high antioxidants

11:09 AM

I got me berries to add in the pm meals when I'm not active and high sugar fruits for the am when I am active working out, going outside and college

yeah thats good

coyote

Yeah it's makes you really gassy

Should I slowly eliminate the grains when transitioning into animal based

coyote

Should I slowly eliminate the grains when transitioning into animal based

yeah over a few weeks

6:02 PM

if you’re keeping in fruits it shouldn’t be too bad of a transition

Chip

if you’re keeping in fruits it shouldn’t be too bad of a transition

Slowly introducing fruit the more I add the more I eliminate grains

6:09 PM

Gotta keep sugar intake on check

coyote

Slowly introducing fruit the more I add the more I eliminate grains

Guys I just bought an spf50 sun screen do I apply it only once before I go out

apply it EVERY 30 minutes

️

coyote

Guys I just bought an spf50 sun screen do I apply it only once before I go out

tbh it depends

7:12 AM

like taking the case you go out you sweat a lot

7:12 AM

100% u needa put sunscreen back on

7:12 AM

idk bout 30mins

7:12 AM

ig 1 to 2 hours should be fine

7:12 AM

for me i put it in the morning for school n i come back

7:12 AM

at 2 30

7:12 AM

so that would be 8 hours

7:13 AM

and its actually alright for me

7:13 AM

also sunscreen majorly depends on you skin type and your race

7:14 AM

u might have heard 2 finger length acc to me it differs on ur skin colour

7:14 AM

if u have a fair complexesion generally american eu uk people 2 should be fine

7:15 AM

if u middle eastern indian pakistani (brownish or whitish i.e not snow white normal or even dark to black i would suggest to use 1 finger length)

7:15 AM

cuz many ppl hate sunscreen especially when its 2 finger length as it gets greasy n sticky

7:16 AM

there r differnt types of sunscreen so you should do your research on what ur gona buy

7:18 AM

@coyote take a read thru this n especially the last point

I'll take pics to compare today and when I'm done with the diet if there's improvements I'll send them in

I tried benzoyl perioxide for my acne and had a bizzare reaction

1:10 PM

The first day I put a small amount on my spots and made sure to keep it away for my eyes and mouth

1:10 PM

But my eyes were watery and felt like they were burning

1:10 PM

So I just thought maybe I accidentally got a bit in there

1:11 PM

So the next day I put more on and made sure I definitely did not get it in my eyes or even near them

1:11 PM

But they started unbearably burning till the point I couldn't open them and they were bright red

1:11 PM

So I washed my eyes out for an hour and it didn't help at all

1:12 PM

So I had to lie in the bathtub, face down with my eyes open every 30 seconds for an hour and that helped it allot

1:12 PM

I didn't see anywhere online about this happening to people and I know for a fact I didn't get it in my eyes, I thought maybe to fumes off it were going in my eyes but even when I closed them they were burning from the inside

The first day I put a small amount on my spots and made sure to keep it away for my eyes and mouth

are you using other products?

1:31 PM

did you apply it at night and slept with it? it couldve spread across your face during sleep (edited)

1:35 PM

I started using benzoyl+adapelene (epiduo) to try to clear up mild acne but it actually made my face worse imo

1:37 PM

After that, I dont use anything on my face other than cold water, sunlight (with SPF15 sunscreen in locations prone to burning if im out during strong UV index), baths with dead sea salt

@▄︻デֆքօօӄʏ══━一 have u tried salicylic acid ?

Chip

are you using other products?

Nope, I planned to sleep with it on my face but around an hour in it was so painful

1:51 AM

My skin was fine my eyes weren't

AshWasTaken

@▄︻デֆքօօӄʏ══━一 have u tried salicylic acid ?

Yea

▄︻デֆքօօӄʏ══━一

My skin was fine my eyes weren't

What percentage was it ? (edited)

5:32 AM

I know that before using products you should test a small batch and see how your skin react

5:32 AM

And start at the smallest % if you got a bad reaction I'd suggest looking for an alternative

I used 5%

5% isnt it pretty high?

6:58 PM

A good product like niacinamide serum 5 % is smt to go for

6:58 PM

Rather than 10%

▄︻デֆքօօӄʏ══━一

I used 5%

Might be issue w conc

▄︻デֆքօօӄʏ══━一

I used 5%

Basically what I'm tryna say is cheack for lower conc of it

▄︻デֆքօօӄʏ══━一

I didn't see anywhere online about this happening to people and I know for a fact I didn't get it in my eyes, I thought maybe to fumes off it were going in my eyes but even when I closed them they were burning from the inside

yeah your eyes are probably sensitive to the vapours. dont use that one if that happens. you can try a diff brand or lower concentration like @AshWasTaken said, or just avoid BP

8:41 PM

i prefer dead sea salt baths and adequate sunlight for antimicrobial effects (edited)

btw shall i try salycylic acid face wash?@Chip

8:42 PM

frm cerave

AshWasTaken

btw shall i try salycylic acid face wash?@Chip

yeah just try it by itself

is this good?

Chip

yeah just try it by itself

like the serum not the face wash?

8:43 PM

i ran out of my main face wash n i was thinking of adding salycylic acid to my routine

8:44 PM

idk which one i should get

Chip

yeah just try it by itself

if u have any recomendations do let me know

AshWasTaken

idk which one i should get

yeah im not too sure

Alright ima do some research

Chip

yeah your eyes are probably sensitive to the vapours. dont use that one if that happens. you can try a diff brand or lower concentration like @AshWasTaken said, or just avoid BP

I'm gonna book an appointment with a GP to see what I should do I think

@AshWasTaken be aware

6:45 AM

You will purge for a few weeks with salicylic acid

6:45 AM

Rather than 10%

I'm currently using niacinamide 10% should I switch to 5

coyote

I'm currently using niacinamide 10% should I switch to 5

the thing with that is

7:53 AM

if ur skin is alrdy okay with niacinamide aka u have arldy introduced it to ur skin care routine

7:53 AM

it should be fine w 10%

7:54 AM

if ur a beginer like me i suggest 5 %

7:54 AM

im pretty sure even after few months i will stick to 5 %

7:54 AM

since i do like the ricewater n stuff the serum contains

7:54 AM

I been getting minor acne breakouts I think maybe it cause of the niacinamide

7:54 AM

I'll try switching to 5

What kind of pimples are those 2 white stuff inside

Does anyone know about accutane

boondocks solos

What kind of pimples are those 2 white stuff inside

whiteheads

2:35 AM

they dont look inflammed

Grifhi 🍭

Does anyone know about accutane

not used it but all ik its pill formed oral version of vitamin A like a powerful dose

2:36 AM

u shouldnt consume foods with high vitamin A content wen on accutane cuz of vitamin A poisoning

2:36 AM

ur supposed to have it on its whole full course

2:36 AM

it like shuts off ur oil production so that u dont produce any oils

What the duration of full course

like 6ish months+

I'm on 4th month of it

and some ppl do go on more than 1 course of it

2:36 AM

for some ppl 1 course is enough

2:37 AM

but for some they go on 2 maybe 3

2:37 AM

also theres this thing called "accutane nose" where basically cuz it shrinks ur sebaceous glands it makes ur nose look slimmer and smaller

2:37 AM

ppl call it "accutane nose job"

Acne is 80 percent is cure on face and 60 percent on chest back shoulder

congratulations

2:38 AM

but yh while on it ik u take blood tests

2:38 AM

like every month

Thanks but I want 100 percent get rid of it

thing about it is that

2:38 AM

accutane targets acne

2:38 AM

to my knowledge not the scarring

2:38 AM

left behind

2:39 AM

but ur 4 months in

2:39 AM

with 80% treated as u said

2:39 AM

just wait it out and see

Should I take it 2 months more

u should listen to ur dermatologist

2:39 AM

i aint a derm

2:39 AM

im just someone regurgitating the info ive researched

2:40 AM

but for all medication its best to finish the course

Actually I think my dermatologist doesn't care much about it cuz the dermatologist I consult is during online consultation

cuz yh u think its over with but stuff may come back and thats wat the remaining dosages target

Grifhi 🍭

Actually I think my dermatologist doesn't care much about it cuz the dermatologist I consult is during online consultation

personally, i think u should ask them questions regarding ur skin

2:41 AM

make urself be heard

2:41 AM

cuz at the end of the day we are the ones suffering

2:41 AM

if we dont speak we just gonna suffer even more wen what we want is to be fixed

My dermatologist only he wants to end the conversation quick

he has to do his job at the end of the day

2:42 AM

he is getting paid to do his job so make it hell if he aint doing it good enough

2:42 AM

u shouldnt care

And he only consulted me accutane and moisturizer.... and face gels

no sunscreen?

2:43 AM

ok ill try to give u advice but my knowledge is limited

2:43 AM

accutane is drying

2:43 AM

so in the morning use water to wash ur face

2:44 AM

then apply a moisturiser

2:44 AM

and sunscreen preferrably a mineral one

2:44 AM

at night u want an oil cleanser to get rid of that sunscreen

2:44 AM

and a gel cleanser - a gentle one

2:44 AM

and then a thick moisturiser and vaseline cuz ur lips get dry

I also researched a lot about accutane already

yh ive heard it kills bacteria which also means the good bacteria in our body

2:45 AM

so u should also have a good healthy balanced diet

2:45 AM

ik some ppl that like go all out with junk and eat wtv they want

He didn't even tell me to consume with fats

u just got a shit derm tbh

I think too

but yh just make sure u finish ur course, eat healthy

2:46 AM

and then have gentle skin care

2:46 AM

dont use any actives during ur time

2:46 AM

or anything harsh

And whenever I tell him about side effect he suggets me to go on other doctors Like if pain in stomach he told me to go anywhere else cuz it's not related to accutane

2:48 AM

And I also got fissure during accutane

sounds like side effects

Yes those are

but 2 more months then ur accutane free and hopefully acne free

I researched abt it ...

for me my acne was centered around my diet

2:49 AM

i didnt know wat to eat and wat to avoid

Mei

but 2 more months then ur accutane free and hopefully acne free

Tumhare muh me me dahi shakkar

Take me through and average day of time you wake up, what you eat, life style

Take me through and average day of time you wake up, what you eat, life style

Okay. I start the morning off by washing my face (6AM) then put on the lotion from above and the sunscreen. I wear makeup about 4 out of 7 days a week, usually just primer, spot correct with concealer, contour, liquid blush, highlighter and setting spray on the skin. Sometimes I do foundation but not every day. At the end of the day (9PM) I wash my face, then do serums and lotion. I'm pretty active, I go to the gym 2-4 times a week and do a 20 minute pilates workout every morning. I'm really good about clean eating, I don't drink soda and have been on keto for the past month and fast 8pm-12am

Do you wash your face after the gym ?

7:40 AM

What foods do you eat

fadi

What foods do you eat

Yes. I eat a lot of chicken, eggs, black beans, spinach, broccoli, use to eat a lot of rice but not as much now im on keto, chickpeas, raisins, almond milk, walnuts, peanuts etc. I don't eat anything with dairy. I do snack a good amount of chocolate chips tho

Are peanuts rly bad orr?

JuneRanger

Are peanuts rly bad orr?

Peanuts contain androgen, which increases sebum production. And sebum production created more oily skin, which can cause acne or breakouts

i see that u use one cleanser, u should try double cleansing to get rid of ur sunscreen and makeup cuz using a water based cleanser to get rid of water doesnt really work. u need an oil to break it down, who knows this could be a cause and also oil cleansing is helpful for blackheads, sebaceous fillaments and tbh u do feel a certain type of clean after cleansing. Also check ur products for any harmful ingredients, u might be sensitive to fragrance which yh some LRP products do have. and tbh u dont even have to spend 200 dollars, keep ur routine simple and tbh cheap by finding good products. also in ur picture u show a gua sha and rolling tool, these are not good for acne skin cuz of the spread of bacteria also stainless steel is better than any other material cuz it wont harbour bacteria like the other materials. try to look into gut health cuz yes u can eat dairy free like i did and i did find good results but i was still getting acne and thats cuz i wasnt factoring in gut health, a good pro biotic supplement will take u quite far. also ur makeup may be comedogenic or too thick and oily. theres a lot of factors that play a role here. u think wat ur doing is good which at face value it is but then u have to realise other lifestyle choices and look deeper. trust me ik very well about all these cuz ive had acne for the same length as u but only recently have i seen progress. i thought for the past few years i was doing everything right and i did find some sort of progress but at the same time i was also losing progress cuz i just wasnt thinking outside the box

JuneRanger

Are peanuts rly bad orr?

high in omega 6 which is something that causes inflammation, u dont have to cut it out if ur able to balance it out with omega 3s. if u can have a good proportion of omega 3: omega 6 then u should be fine, personally i loved having peanut butter but im too lazy to balance out the levels so i cut it out. also some peanut butters are high in sugar so be wary

JuneRanger

Yes. I eat a lot of chicken, eggs, black beans, spinach, broccoli, use to eat a lot of rice but not as much now im on keto, chickpeas, raisins, almond milk, walnuts, peanuts etc. I don't eat anything with dairy. I do snack a good amount of chocolate chips tho

chocolate chips can contain milk, personally i just cut out all chocolates and stuff and tbh i just go for vegan foods but to be dairy and sometime gluten free (im testing if my body is good for gluten or not) i do eat chicken so im not entirely vegan.

i forgot the name of the protein in eggs but it is a contributor to acne, also high in progesterone. so be wary.

When I get acne on my jawline it's always from something I eat.

Do you have any joint pain or lethargy? I'd look into Sally Norton and oxalates because you are eating REALLY high oxalate foods and if you cut them all out your acne would likely worsen from oxalate dumping. (Depending on age)

shes 17 as she said

fadi

When I get acne on my jawline it's always from something I eat.

yh individual difference, im fine with eating fruit and i dont consume dairy or eggs so im fine

Mei

yh individual difference, im fine with eating fruit and i dont consume dairy or eggs so im fine

I think it's just Bananas and Pineapple for me

Mei

shes 17 as she said

I'm 17 but didn't get those severe oxalate dumping that bad like others did when I went carnivore

we all different

1:02 AM

for some ppl wat they do will help but for others it may not or make it worse for them

that's true

also it may not even be food related could be something minimal

1:04 AM

like ppl tend to have plastic cutting boards

1:04 AM

they can influence our hormones

1:04 AM

and be hurting our body and the bodily response is acne

1:04 AM

lots of factors come into play to knowing a cause for acne'

I dont know where to put this

2:44 AM

so i think ill put it here

2:45 AM

im on an on going journey to healthy skin

2:45 AM

I started getting a lot of pimples since im unclogging my pores

2:45 AM

Im glad tho

2:46 AM

Better to get pimples and see that the skin is cleaning itself

i used to get some zinc stuff for that

2:47 AM

it expires after 5 weeks however

Ema

i used to get some zinc stuff for that

zinc mixed with something else

2:48 AM

It will help with drying out the pimples

2:49 AM

This is better than pimple patches

2:49 AM

2:50 AM

You dont need a doctor to start using this

2:50 AM

You should use it once or twice a day

2:50 AM

However using it twice a day might be too drying

Maybe your pores are clogged, does any of the products you are using unclogg porrs?

2:53 AM

You can try what one pharmacist told me recently

2:53 AM

Making an infusion with chamomille tea

2:53 AM

and then using corn and wheat bran

2:54 AM

You have to mix them and put a bit of water before tho

2:54 AM

You have to rub it against your clogged pores

2:55 AM

I don't know what those products are for

2:55 AM

But you certainly can try other methods as well

Ema

You can try what one pharmacist told me recently

You can do it 2 times a week

2:55 AM

Even 3 if its not excessive for your skin

Someone want to call?

yeah the ratio for peanuts is insane, especially because it doesn’t have the form of Omega3 that we need, and needs to be converted, so the ratio of omega6 to DHA etc is way higher. there’s also certain proteins in peanuts which can give people issues, and then the lectins are a thing as well

JuneRanger

Are peanuts rly bad orr?

@JuneRanger ^ (edited)

Chip

@JuneRanger ^ (edited)

Wow that's crazy! Peanuts are one of my fav snacks too, I bet thats a big contributer to my skin issues

maybe, do you get bloating or an upset stomach after eating them?

@Chip

8:52 AM

Sorry for ping but i have a question on smth im rlly rlly confused on.

8:52 AM

If anyone coulf help then that would be greatly appreciated

8:52 AM

So my question is

8:53 AM

How come it looks like I have acne but my skin is rlly smooth? Isnt acne meant to be spots?? I have none on my skin though.

8:55 AM

Is that a damaged skin barrier?

Heyy bro, my English is not that good so sorry about that. But I think these are scars of pimples that you were trying to pop out with dirty hands. These scars can take very long to go away. I would recommend you vitamin C serum. And the most important thing is that you must watch out for your diet. Don't eat too much sugar, oily food and dairy food.

EU olo

Click to see attachment 🖼️

And if you have more breakouts don't try to pop it, it will leave more scars like this. Just leave it be

9:39 AM

And never touch you're face. If you touch it you have to clean you're hands first.

yeah @EU olo it’s hyperpigmentation

9:55 AM

usually happens if the acne got really inflamed

Is it really?

9:55 AM

It did

9:55 AM

How can i fix?

if it’s flat and can’t feel anything then it’s just scarring

Ngl my parents being annoying and saying "ohhh if you wanna fix it then wash your face"

Chip

if it’s flat and can’t feel anything then it’s just scarring

Ye theres not a single bump when i move my hand and finger on my face

9:55 AM

Smooth skin

9:56 AM

Looks horrible

yeah like it fades slowly on its own, that’s not the worst type of scarring

Insane knock to my confidence

red light therapy could help but it’s expensive

It seems to look better then worse

do you have active acne anymore?

Maybe a wee bit

9:57 AM

God its looking horrible rn

EU olo

Ngl my parents being annoying and saying "ohhh if you wanna fix it then wash your face"

you can artificially increase cell turnover, but the scars don’t go away just by being clean

Hate my life smh

9:57 AM

Chip

you can artificially increase cell turnover, but the scars don’t go away just by being clean

Thats what im saying!!

9:58 AM

Right side has it way worse

9:58 AM

What a hard knock on my overall confidence

9:58 AM

Hate going out in public

yeh

9:59 AM

was there a period where a lot of that acne showed up?

Just wish it would go

Chip

was there a period where a lot of that acne showed up?

Maybe ill try find some pics

A bag of sweets every few weeks

So

10:06 AM

Surely theres a serum or smth to fix what i have

10:06 AM

I just want it gone.

10:06 AM

Wanna feel good when i go out

10:07 AM

Doesnt glycolic acid fix scarring and or hyperpigmentation

Should i stop with my acne face washes

Wait I gonna send a pic of an product

Alr

10:13 AM

Look

10:13 AM

Wasch you're face one time a day

10:14 AM

And if you use it more than a week you can do 2 times a week

10:14 AM

A day*

10:15 AM

You have an oily skin right?

I have that

10:15 AM

But its a spot treatment right?

Nanomia

You have an oily skin right?

I actually dont know

EU olo

I have that

Ahh okay

Id say so since my skin is only dry if i get irritation from benzoyl peroxide face wash

10:16 AM

Things i have rn are

EU olo

But its a spot treatment right?

It's just cleans ur face and avoids breakouts

Vitamin C serum, benzoyl peroxide spot treatment and face wash, micellar water, cerave hydrating cleanser, salicylic acid cleanser

Nanomia

It's just cleans ur face and avoids breakouts

Thats the spot treatment tho. For big pimples etc

Yeah Ig benzaknen helps with many things

10:18 AM

Salicylic acid also helps

Idk tho

10:18 AM

Idk what to use or buy

10:18 AM

And

10:19 AM

I cba waiting months and months for them to fade

10:19 AM

Jst want it gone

10:19 AM

Plus sometimes it looks alr

10:19 AM

Like this was 3 weeks ago

10:19 AM

Broo I swear it's just from ur diet or u also can have hormonal acne. Don't try to use many products that can irritate you're skin and you will have more breakouts

10:21 AM

Hormonal acne can take like one year for many people it's because of the puberty

U said mines is scarring?

Yeah in the first picture

10:21 AM

Thats mines rn

10:21 AM

Like 5 minsa go

10:21 AM

Mins ago*

Yeah okay it's just scarring don't worry

10:22 AM

They also can fade away if you just use nothing

10:22 AM

But that will take longer bro

10:23 AM

Just drink much water and watch out for you diet

10:24 AM

And don't think about it to much. It can cause stress and stress can also cause acne

I stress abt it ALOT

10:24 AM

Like i said

10:24 AM

I wanna feel good abt myself

Nahh bro

Not worse when it looks worse

Don't think about it to much

10:25 AM

I feel you I have the same problem but 10 times worse haha

Ik this is dumb but i seen a survey and over 95% of teenagers said the first thing they notice when they see someone is their skin

10:25 AM

And mines looks like sho

10:25 AM

Shi*

Yeah that's correct, but you have to give a shit what people see or say haha

10:27 AM

The thing is you can do nothing about you're skin and that's a fact

10:28 AM

Believe me I have like 4 years acne and I can't get use to it till now.

Are these true

10:29 AM

Ways to get rid of acne and acne scars

Icing ur face for 1 to 3 minutes daily

10:29 AM

Cerave retinol

10:29 AM

Stop picking and touching

10:29 AM

And vitamin c serum

Yup and don't eat sugar

10:29 AM

Drink water

10:30 AM

10:30 AM

It can cause more breakouts

Ye fairs

10:31 AM

But

10:32 AM

Cerave retinol has good and bad reports

10:32 AM

Apparently LOTS of purging

10:34 AM

I dont want thatttt

10:34 AM

@ me btw so i get noti

Yeah it's just different for people, it helps for some of people and for others it doesn't.

A breakout can last 7-10 days on average to come to surface, pop, heal, etc.

5:45 AM

And you're eating sweets once a week, and probably other junk food I'm guessing. What you NEED to do is cut out the junk lol.

EU olo

Hope so

How is it going bro?

I had a dry pimple on my nose and I rubbed it accidentally and it fell off and it left a tiny hole and I decided to add some cream on it so it would heal but the cream got like stuck into the hole

Hello

1:35 PM

I'm trying to clear up my skin right now I'm just washing and moisturizing it anything else I should do?

not cookie

I'm trying to clear up my skin right now I'm just washing and moisturizing it anything else I should do?

how old are you and what sort of acne?

Chip

how old are you and what sort of acne?

15 and mostly just random pimples and red dot everywhere

1:51 PM

not cookie

15 and mostly just random pimples and red dot everywhere

what do you mainly eat?

Chip

what do you mainly eat?

Whatever my mom makes

2:03 PM

Is it my deit that's doing this?

2:03 PM

Diet

yeah diet can play into it

Well what's some better stuff I should be eating?

as youre 15 youre probably going through growth etc but I wouldnt say puberty is the root cause, it more so just exacerbates acne (edited)

Chip

as youre 15 youre probably going through growth etc but I wouldnt say puberty is the root cause, it more so just exacerbates acne (edited)

I know it's bound to happen because of my age but there's gotta be a way to minimize it

not cookie

Well what's some better stuff I should be eating?

its probably hard as youre eating your parents food but I generally recommend increasing protein, B vitamins, and fats from healthy animal sources, all of which can be found from grass fed beef and lamb, etc

So more meat

2:08 PM

For the protein and fat?

not cookie

I know it's bound to happen because of my age but there's gotta be a way to minimize it

its just more likely at that age, but its optional imo

2:09 PM

yep

2:09 PM

cut out processed junk, sugar, sugary drinks etc

2:10 PM

could also be a food intolerance. such as dairy, eggs, nuts, etc

Chip

cut out processed junk, sugar, sugary drinks etc

That's gonna be alittle harder but I'll try my hardest

Chip

could also be a food intolerance. such as dairy, eggs, nuts, etc

I think my body likes those?

go with cutting out all the sugary crap first and replace it with food which will help you grow, like fatty red meat

Chip

go with cutting out all the sugary crap first and replace it with food which will help you grow, like fatty red meat

What about like subs?

2:12 PM

As in like

2:12 PM

From like subway or something

2:12 PM

I eat those alot

the worst thing in those is the bread imo

But is it really that bad

2:13 PM

Like is it gonna cause all this

depends what youre putting in it

I think it's probably mostly suger

Chip

depends what youre putting in it

Lots of greens turkey cheese salt pepper and mayo

if its filled with sauces, processed meats, processed american cheese then its bad

Oh no

2:14 PM

I don't put the oil in it most the time

is it the processed turkey kind?

Chip

is it the processed turkey kind?

Probably

2:15 PM

It's from public

2:15 PM

Public

2:15 PM

PUBLIX

2:16 PM

But its probably processed

its probably not that causing it

My ance is pretty good rn

2:16 PM

Just alot of red dots

2:16 PM

Which might be scars?

2:17 PM

Thinking of getting a derma roller

2:17 PM

I hear thats good for scars

not cookie

Just alot of red dots

is it flat?

Most of them sre

2:18 PM

A couple of them are bumpy

where are the scars mostly?

Cheeks

2:18 PM

And temples

did you have cysts on your cheeks a while ago?

What's a cyst

like under the skin acne, very inflamed

2:19 PM

Chip

did you have cysts on your cheeks a while ago?

I think so

2:19 PM

No

2:19 PM

I don't think I had those

2:20 PM

They were not painfully at all

nodules?

I think I used to have pimples there

Chip

nodules?

Don't think si

2:21 PM

So

if its caused scarring thats been there for a while on the cheeks it was probably pustules

2:21 PM

if its not nodules or cysts

It's been there a while

Chip

if its caused scarring thats been there for a while on the cheeks it was probably pustules

What does scaring look like?

it could just be hyperpigmentation

2:22 PM

coloured scarring

Chip

coloured scarring

Looks like papules

yeh that can cause scarring and itll be quite small

Is scaring just like red?

the main thing is to get active acne under control and make sure theres no new breakouts

2:25 PM

red, purple, brown

2:26 PM

Would this be scaring

2:26 PM

I need a better camera for this

most likely yeah

2:27 PM

the scattered scarring looks like scarring from either papules or whiteheads (edited)

2:28 PM

the larger scar there probably from a pustule or possibly a small nodule (edited)

2:28 PM

how long have you had acne for?

Chip

the larger scar there probably from a pustule or possibly a small nodule (edited)

I think it was a big pimple

Chip

how long have you had acne for?

Probably about a year and a half?

did it start with smaller less severe?

I honestly have no Idea I didn't really start paying attention and doing something about it till about 3 months ago

2:36 PM

What I normally do is just wash face then moisturize and then chap stick

2:36 PM

Every morning

2:37 PM

Every night

How bad is ice cream?

3:42 PM

And honey

I would avoid both for a little while

not cookie

How bad is ice cream?

try to get dairy free if ur trigger is dairy

not cookie

And honey

honey is fine

Mei

honey is fine

depends if sugar / blood glucose is causing issues for that person (edited)

8:29 AM

sugar is one of the bigger acne influences (edited)

8:30 AM

cutting out all carbs including whole carbs, low glycemic for a few months may have benefits on metabolic status, liver health etc

8:31 AM

most of us have been eating carbs everyday since we were kids

Just had 42 grams of this

Is this a good skin care rountine

Yeah

12:10 PM

I think so

not cookie

Just had 42 grams of this

nice

I have acne scars, pores blackheads and oily skin what product should I use?

zakduhgoat

Is this a good skin care rountine

sunscreen is good for not worsening acne marks if u have any or hyperpigmentation

Nav

I have acne scars, pores blackheads and oily skin what product should I use?

a salycilc cleanser would be good or anything thats exfoliating but they aint good for everyday use only for a couple times a week, find something foaming

12:48 AM

a foaming cleanser is good for oily skin, acne scars it depends on wat type

12:49 AM

niacinamide is good for pores i found within like 2 3 weeks mine r less noticeable

12:49 AM

for the blackheads anything really exfoliating or speeding up cell turnover like a retinoin is recommended or anything with salycilic acid

Mei

a salycilc cleanser would be good or anything thats exfoliating but they aint good for everyday use only for a couple times a week, find something foaming

Ohhh... i use the inkey list sa cleanser everyday..

Hello! So I’ve been suffering with very mild hormonal inflammatory acne. Literally so minimal that my doctor couldn’t even see much of it. However it’s there and causing me mental upset. He recommended I try Epiduo gel and prescribed me with it. After doing research I saw about purging, where acne worsens before better. And I wondered if this is what I’m experiencing already. I currently use a salicylic acid serum with an anti-acne moisturiser. I’ve been on it a week and a half to my belief and my acne’s worsened in the past two days. So I’m wondering if this could be purging and should I allow my skin to play out and see if it heals this week, or immediately start using the epiduo gel. I’m just cautious because of worsening my mental health. Ty

Man i hate my skin so much

9:38 AM

Looks like shi

Guys I have tried several different acne cleansers over the last few years such as cerave, clear start and more and paired them with a moisturizer but it hasn't really done anything. (I have oily skin) (edited)

8:29 AM

I have heard people saying that cutting off the use of cleansers and only using water and moisturizers works but idk.

8:38 AM

Any suggestions? For now I'm gonna keep my routine of my dermalogica foaming cleanser and moisturizer 2x a day routine but if u have any tips please let me know

AshWasTaken

@EU olo broski hide benzoyl peroxide

nah that shit was out of context

.

I have heard people saying that cutting off the use of cleansers and only using water and moisturizers works but idk.

thats if u have dry skin that its recommended not to use a cleanser in the morning cuz ur skin is already dry, stripping it off its natural oils is not good

Mei

nah that shit was out of context

that study was tbh more to fear monger, they tested it at 50 degrees celcius which is not normal temperature. i live in the UK and the hottest record date was in 2022 at 40 degrees so even then it dont hit 50 degrees

9:27 AM

on a regular basis we dont hit that high of a temperature so u dont really have to worry but also, if ppl are scared they should store it somewhere cool so it dont mess with the formulation

Mei

nah that shit was out of context

Yeah I was gona say throw it away but he might actually do that basically stop benzoyl peroxide for now

Main source protein , I usually eat dairy for breakfast but non lactose products as I am lactose intolerant so I try avoid lactose , I don't usually eat nuts and seeds by themselves, I eat eggs a few times a week and most carbs and meat fill me up the most.

Thanks so much for the suggestions I'll try change my pillow case more often to get a silk pillow cover and I've been getting into a diet recently aswell so hopefully it works out

Not sure if this helps anyone but sauna has helped my skin a lot after working out

Hey, for any of you who are skincare experts or just know a lot about skin, pls provide steps for a new skincare routine, as I've been trying for years but still haven't found a solution: I frequently experience severe acne breakouts. I primarily experience acne breakouts on my forehead, cheeks, and chin. My skin's sensitivity is extremely high. I have concerns about dryness, hyperpigmentation, and irritation. When I use alpha hydroxy acids (e.g., glycolic acid, lactic acid) and niacinamide, I experience terrible sensitivity. I've had side effects from acne products in the past, such as redness, irritation, dryness, or peeling. I have been dealing with acne issues for more than 3 years. My goals for acne treatment include maintaining overall skin health. I also have eye eczema. I'm concerned that using toner, especially with glycolic acid, might have negative effects on my face. Products I would like to use because I heard how good they are : African black soap Scrubs Face mask/sheet mask eye mask Serum. Thank you in advance

go do basics for like a month, gentle cleanser moisturiser and sunscreen. during that also fix ur diet could be causing u issues. by fixing ur diet i mean taking out anything processed or inflammatory. personally, cut out dairy. cut out milk and cheese and they helped a ton but then u realise those aint the only products with milk in it. stopped having chocolate cuz that also contained milk and some breads did too like panini breads. well the ones u find from tesco do. so i cut those out and tbh all i gotta do is wait for my purge phase to be over and then hopefully clear skin

Mei

on a regular basis we dont hit that high of a temperature so u dont really have to worry but also, if ppl are scared they should store it somewhere cool so it dont mess with the formulation

benzoyl peroxide isnt worth it imo, well at least as Epiduo. I used it for about 8-10 weeks and it irritated my skin, made breakouts worse, bleached pillowcases, bleached my skin (other parts of my face tan whereas the areas I used BP dont, and its been like 4-5 months since then) (edited)

11:45 PM

I'd be worried about how teenagers store BP. most of them probably dont realise that improper storage may be a cancer risk

i.e. on a window sill (edited)

epiduo was a pain, i remember it burning me for the first week and it was supposed to burn u. so yh had to go thru that struggle. but i did see results. besides the bleaching of pillowcases and clothes it is a retinoid cuz its a mixture of BP and adapalene

1

2:49 AM

and tbh i think teenagers arent that stupid to leave their skincare on window sills. like u have to be on a different level of stupid to leave stuff like that lying in a stupid place

hmm ok. fried and oily foods aren’t inherently bad. depends on the type of oil used

9:09 AM

what fried foods?

Chip

what products do you use on your face

Wash my face when I feel like it with Aleppo soap. Hmm sometimes I moisturise, use Zinc ointment or bepanthen. Sometimes I use rose water as well

could it be a reaction to something you’re using?

I think it could be due to stress

hmm if that’s the case then it could be immune system or metabolic related

9:11 AM

so is it dry and flakey? (edited)

Chip

what fried foods?

my mom uses olive oil. foods like fried chicken, potato corn dogs, fries. not a variety but i eat it often. i cut off most dairy but i still eat cheese

Chip

so is it dry and flakey? (edited)

I use my ketozolin shampoo on it and afterwards bepanthen. It was a bit flakey but now it’s minimal, it’s still red tho, the redness is what annoys me. Now I wanted to observe it, used salt water and nothing more. Have brown pigments on my chest as well, my doctor said it is seborrhoeic eczema, but it’s not flakey and just brown pigmented

are they foods your mum cooks or buying it made somewhere else? corn dogs and fries have lots of carbs, probably bad fats depending on what it’s cooked it, processed meat, preservatives (edited)

do you remember if you had this on your face before introducing the soap? (edited)

do you remember if you had this on your face before introducing the soap? (edited)

No I didn’t had it, but I don’t think it came due to the soap. Heard that this eczema comes due to the oily skin

9:18 AM

And the soap has only 4 ingredients

9:18 AM

Olive oil is in it, which isn’t recommended but idk if it’s the same in the soap

oh, its actually a korean potato corn dog so theres cheese inside, potato on the outside. the name is confusing but mine has no meat in it

hi i need to help for my red acne on my cheeks. i had acne for almost 2 years and first it was on my forehead but when that was gone it moved to my cheeks, which is now. adapelene cleared my forehead acne but it wont work on my cheeks. i tried benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, vitamin c, ibuprofen, yet to try sulfur. i tried bp for 9 weeks and it only made me break out more. i have dry, sensetive skin. can someone give me advice?

did you try all those products at the same time? guessing you went through a “purge” with the actives or it irritated the skin

10:10 AM

my acne got worse for 8 weeks when using adapelene + benzoyl peroxide and then i stopped using it (edited)

yes mainly water

Chip

did you try all those products at the same time? guessing you went through a “purge” with the actives or it irritated the skin

no, seperate, when one didnt work for a while i tried another. i went through many purges and some got better but not to the point of clearing

do u know wats triggering it

2:34 AM

acne is inflammation. that is the bodys reaction to something. if u know why u are inflammed u can stop it and prevent it from happening in the future.

i dont know for sure but it might be the products im using, i notice i break out more w new products. but when the school year began, my sleep schedule became really bad, more stress and started eating sugary foods more and thats also when my acne reapeared.

yea, im trying to clear it with skincare and when it does ill change anything that triggers it again

のび犬

yea, im trying to clear it with skincare and when it does ill change anything that triggers it again

but how will u know wat triggers and wat doesnt. our body is unique as one trigger for someone will not be a trigger for another and on top of that its hard to find out wat triggers u. finding out the trigger is the root cause. like for example, dairy is the reason ur body is inflammed. skincare can do so much but as long as u consume dairy u will always develop acne. cutting out dairy (again this is an example im not saying cut it out im saying test the grounds) may help in prevention

i know, i said that as if i knew what the trigger is. i dont yet, in the process. i have some ideas that i think might be triggering my acne like sleep, stress or unhealthy food. something is wrong with what im doing and thats why i still have acne, im trying my best to test and see what im doing wrong thats making my skin bad. if i knew the root cause i would already be preventing it, im still in the stage of finding the trigger.

good luck!!

9:35 AM

i don’t think it’s fungal acne

9:35 AM

but i’m not totally sure

its not fungal

2:32 AM

fungal would be skin coloured and the size of them would be the same '

If you use hair product there's probably conditioner clogging the pores, or another thing is when you sweat not washing your forehead if you're out playing a sport or lifting for example. Not to say it's all caused by that, def some inflammation from diet.

nah its wen the oils of ur hair start touching ur forehead

it transfers over

it can potentially lead to breakout

7:35 AM

especially if u use products in ur hair

Mei

nah its wen the oils of ur hair start touching ur forehead

Hmm yeah i would agree if your hair is very oily or using hair products. you would have to be acne prone already for something just as simple as ordinary hair to break you out by itself (edited)

mmmm alr so i’ll stop using products

quite a while

9:18 AM

i can say 5

ok

4 ?

when did the cheek acne get bad?

9:19 AM

with scarring

oh i just dont quite remember that you know

9:19 AM

i cant give an accurate time

9:19 AM

but lets say i have them for

9:19 AM

3 years now

ok so probably just the same severity for those 4 years or has it been worsening

it has gone better actually

9:20 AM

there used to be actual pimples and stuff

9:20 AM

now it's mostly scarring and redness

9:20 AM

red dots

9:20 AM

papules

do you think BP helped with keeping the active acne down?

i think it did

9:21 AM

should i just continue maybe ?

is your main concern the active acne or scarring?

give it a few more months ? thats what my initial thought was

Chip

is your main concern the active acne or scarring?

main concern spesifically is scarring but acne is not completely gone either

you can yea if youre noticing improvements and minimal irritation

Chip

you can yea if youre noticing improvements and minimal irritation

it doesnt cause dryness or irritation its fine

9:23 AM

maybe it does irritation after i put it but it's very minimal

ok

brb

9:24 AM

ye just checked my skin again to be sure

9:24 AM

it's 80% scars and uh red dots, papules

9:24 AM

or even more

9:24 AM

and rest is nodular

9:25 AM

very rarely i have whiteheads

9:25 AM

not very rarely lets say rarely

9:25 AM

they do happen

9:25 AM

they come and go

9:26 AM

what do you say

stick to if youve seen improvements. during my 2 months on BP+adapelene it made my skin worse, so in improvements in 3 months is good

how do i make my hair non oily

3:31 AM

or greasy

3:31 AM

ur scalp naturally produces its own oils, if u shampoo more than twice a week ur body will naturally overproduce oils to compensate

2:13 AM

so dont shampoo too often

2:13 AM

but also it might be something else u never know but try for like 2 weeks without ur hair touching ur head if u can

just to test it

4:05 AM

@Chip , hey bro i thinked about stopping, diary , gluten and sugar for about 2 months

if youre going to eliminate a couple of food groups. i would say dairy, eggs, all nuts/seeds

7:05 AM

anything high in sugar (includes certain fruits) depending on your tolerance (edited)

I can't remove eggs

7:07 AM

It's the food that i eat the most

that could be your culprit

7:08 AM

how many do you eat?

I can't say maybe like 2 or 3 daily

7:09 AM

Thats what my mom cooks for me (edited)

2 isnt too much, but if its every single day

Not everyday

7:10 AM

But some of the food contains eggs

baked goods?

What about them

what foods are you eating that have eggs

Well in soup , some foods with potatoes, and etc.

hm

spasoff_

Well in soup , some foods with potatoes, and etc.

oh yeah thats another thing

7:13 AM

you could try to keep your overall glycemic load / carb intake low

7:13 AM

like cutting out sugar might have no inprovement if youre still eating lots of starchy foods like potatoes

Well i cloud try but it's hard

yeah

7:14 AM

i think eggs is more likely gonna be the culprit though

Most of the foods my mom make are with so much carb

oh damn

Chip

i think eggs is more likely gonna be the culprit though

I think too maybe but i can't cut all of these at once

spasoff_

I think too maybe but i can't cut all of these at once

did you notice improvement from cutting dairy? what did you replace dairy with?

It's been 3 days , for now i didn't see improvement it's too early, but i didn't replace it with anything

ah okay

can i use a mosturiser after using benzoyl peroxide!

11:52 AM

Hey guys I'm new and had a q! What is best for red tiny bumps around the eye area and nose? Also for congestion and blackheads? I'm pre sure the cause was from the Inkey List HA serum or Omega cream. Probably the formulation is not suited with my skin. Or would the Mixsoon centella cause such bumps? I was thinking of buying the SA serum from The Ordinary. Also what moisturiser would be good for oily/acne prone skin? (edited)

Is glycolic acid cream good for pimple scars

Yoooo

yo his my hairline receding or is this just my natural part

2:05 AM

i think it’s my part because it goes farther back on my head but idk

Hello! I’m kinda struggling to get answers anywhere so wondered if anyone here had ideas but um my acne’s all cleared up now but I keep getting in random places but all near hair like above my lips, my sideburns, eyebrow and I was getting them on my hairline but it’s gone now, these really really tiny colourless bumps, sometimes they show up in groups of two but others just individually. I’m not sure if they are bites tbh, I can send a picture if anyone wants to see. They just bleed when I pick them and I only notice them cuz I touch my face

they are all near hair but they aren’t inside any hairs and like when I pick them they just scab and go. I’m probably just paranoid but if anyone knows that would be great, they aren’t millia I know thay but yh, thanks

hi guys

Do you know how long adapalene takes effect? I've been using it for 3 months and I still get a lot of acne, is it time to stop and move on to another treatment?

Ismael Melville

Do you know how long adapalene takes effect? I've been using it for 3 months and I still get a lot of acne, is it time to stop and move on to another treatment?

it should start to work at least after 3 months, i saw improvement at about the 2 month mark but everyone is different. maybe continue for like 3 weeks and if nothing changes probably not for you. do you see any improvements at all or is it staying the same?

do make sure you wash all shampoo and conditioner out of your hair? if some is left in it could cause pimples near the hairline. also if you use hair products and they touch your face and left on, it can lead to breakouts (edited)

Anyone know which I should use or use together

Hi guys I need an advice on what to do. About 2 weeks ago I started eating very clean and healthy and my skin improved daily, I have a skincare Cerave hydrating cleanser, etude soonjung barrier cream, then haru haru sunscreen in the morning. At night I use same cleanser then exfoliate with somebymi miracle toner then cerave moisturizer, then etude soonjung barrier cream. But after I started working at mcdonalds I would say i started getting pimples that disappears quickly tho, i am afraid working here would break me out, i also know this is the cause of my new pimples because ive been living the same except when i started working at mcdonalds

ʀᴀᴠᴇɴ

I use moisturizer first let it dry then apply benzoyl peroxide

Yeah it could be from working there as the environment will affect your skin. but then again you had acne prior to working there as well, so you are acne prone.

Turns out I’ve been getting hives

I thought it was acne or hair foliciles but it’s allergies lol. I realised when I kept noticing that the spots would come and go in the same places and if I picked them they would just go not even grow or become inflamed . Thanks for ur help tho!

Hey guys, I’m typing this cus i’m desperate, I’ve had acne since I was 15 or so i’m 18 now and still have acne, I managed to clear it out at 17 cus i started applying caudalie’s salisylic acid serum and moisturiser, along with SA cleanser and a mineral based sunscreen for oily skin (it also cleared my hyperpigmentation that i had afterwards) But this year around october I couldn’t find the product and my mum suggested to go to a dermatologist, I went there and he gave me pills, and 3 different creams to apply day and night, It fucking destroyed my skin barrier (and probably gut) and I went from having 0 acne to having it worse than ever before, I was on the treatment for 3 months and a half and i decided to stop as it harmed me more than it helped me, I repurchased the product and started investigating again like crazy , my lifestyle is really good health wise, go to the gym for 2-3 hours each day (except sundays) eat as healthy as you can get and I even started eating healthier as i’ve seen that some foods can trigger your acne, I had already cut out diary and chocolate since ages ago as a dermatologist I saw before told me to (I was 15 at the time), but then I saw gluten can trigger acne, so bye bye bread, cereals etc, then I saw that certain type of carbs can brake you out, so i cut out beans and rice, Then i started seeing some articles that said that some greasy meat can break you out, so I limited severely my intake of red meat, Then i started noticing that if I ate 2 fruits a day I broke out (maybe no correlation at all as sometimes i didn’t sometimes I did) so I started eating only a fruit a day, and keep in mind that I still ate vegetables and white meat but like this is so fucking extreme, Like 8-9 months ago when i finally cleared my skin I was eating everything, (not shitty, just everything) I was eating gluten, carbs, fruit, sugary foods, Greasy foods, White/red meat everything

If you were using skincare and thats what cleared your acne, you mightve been able to stop the acne even though you were eating things that might trigger the acne. (edited)

your best bet is to go with minimal ingredients, preferably non synthetic and gentle. and focus on healing your body internally, figure out whats going wrong (edited)

see how it goes for a few months (your skin takes a while to fully renew)

retinol, niacinamide, ceramides

these are pretty natural

most of the harsh actives are man made synthetic drugs aimed at targeting certain aspects

Chip

Anything

3:54 PM

But now i really wanna eat stuff that could help my skin be clear

@Chip also do i wash my face first with warm water and then with cold water

treyton

@Chip also do i wash my face first with warm water and then with cold water

warm if its dirty. if not then just cold is fine

treyton

But now i really wanna eat stuff that could help my skin be clear

Probably cut out processed foods, added sugar etc and see if it helps

4:23 PM

If it doesnt help after a month or 2 then you can get more strict and do moderate carbs 25-75g from boiled potatoes/white rice, lettuces, cabbage, berries. and then just eat meat on top of that (edited)

yo i got a question

4:28 PM

@Chip you seem wise

Chip

warm if its dirty. if not then just cold is fine

Warm before i apply facewash and after i apply it cold?

Chip

Probably cut out processed foods, added sugar etc and see if it helps

Alright thank you

11:05 PM

Also, do cigarettes cause acne or make it worse?

insomniac jack

yo i got a question

yea whats up

treyton

Also, do cigarettes cause acne or make it worse?

its not going to be the only factor but yeah im pretty sure it would. it mostly effects your lungs though which acne isnt too involved with, although it could cause inflammation and other crap to get into your body

11:13 PM

smoking isnt going to make it better thats for sure, unless its relieving chronic stress or something

Alright thank you

Chip

yea whats up

Should i just go back to no skincare routine?So i’ve had perfect skin up until I was 18 years old and I never used a skincare routine. After I graduated high school I started working overnight shifts at Walmart and got no quality sleep. usually around 4 hours of sleep. on top of that I had a horrible diet (and i mean absolutely horrible), and was dealing with an immense amount of stress. This caused me to breakout BADLY. i’m 19 and a half now and have tried 3-4 different skin care routines but nothing really is working. since i’m actually getting good sleep now, have fixed my diet, and not dealing with near as much stress anymore, should i just return to having no skincare routine? I mean it worked before so idk why it wouldn’t now. please lmk what you think

Deleted User

Seemed cystic to me but I'm not sure

i very rarely get cysts

9:11 AM

and theyre also not painful

4441312

what would this type of acne be considered as?

the ones in the cheek look like pustules or nodules

wait

9:23 AM

what abt this

do you have any immune related symptoms

no

or sleep/stress issues

this is how it looks like most of the time

9:23 AM

Chip

or sleep/stress issues

i get around 6 hours of sleep on average

9:24 AM

little stress

try to get 8

1

9:24 AM

yeah

9:24 AM

what would that under-the-skin acne be called?

9:24 AM

its mostly just red/purple marks under the skin (edited)

9:24 AM

and they never seem to go away

4441312

and they never seem to go away

the scars?

Chip

yeah i got 0 pain on like all of my acne

9:26 AM

it very rarely hurts

it could just he hyperpigmentation

Chip

it could just he hyperpigmentation

any idea of how to get rid of it?

the deep acne causes hyperpigmentation and takes ages to fade

9:27 AM

yeh the best way is laser

what age can i do that at?

theres other skincare products but it might just make you break out if you get something too harsh

Chip

theres other skincare products but it might just make you break out if you get something too harsh

u think accutane would be too overkill?

i would focus on dealing with active acne and stopping the breakouts

1

4441312

Click to see attachment 🖼️

for this

then once acne has stopped for a few months at leaat then you can deal with scars

okay

4441312

u think accutane would be too overkill?

yes

u think hormones play a big part in my acne?

9:28 AM

cause im 16

only a little bit

9:29 AM

same as sleep

so what do u think main cause is

9:29 AM

i got no conditions

that type of acne is something to do with your lymphatic system

so probably diet?

does it concentrate in the centre of the cheek usually?

Chip

does it concentrate in the centre of the cheek usually?

yes literally only cheek

4441312

so probably diet?

diet, pollution, infection

extremely rarely anywhere else

Chip

diet, pollution, infection

aha

yeh thats what i mainly got

its so annoying

its immune and lymph related

9:30 AM

poor sleep will make it worse

okay, i mean i work at mcdonalds lmao

9:30 AM

9:36 AM

nah only once i dont have a single pinple for like a year lol (edited)

9:36 AM

theres no point doing laser if another pimple comes back

ah yeah true

9:37 AM

do genes play a part?

9:37 AM

in acne

its mainly your ancestry

9:37 AM

due to different diets and lifestyles

mm

if youre from northern europe, you cant load up on too many carbs

cause all my family has had acne

for exmaple

4441312

cause all my family has had acne

im polish

it is genetic but its not the major cause

aha

like people without acne are still messing up their body, they just dont know

it annoys me so much seeing the most dirty ppl have like no acne

theres genes for actually showing the acne (immune response) genes for causing the damage to certain organs

9:39 AM

its a gift tbh

ohh yeah in some ways its a good ways tbf

its showing yoy something is going wrong inside

yeah

those people dont know

wheere u from?

irish/uk background but born in australia

ohh

9:40 AM

9:42 AM

9:42 AM

well swap milk for fermented dairy

9:42 AM

if you are gonna eat dairy

is that like fake milk?

like yoghurt

ah

bacteria eats certain proteins and sugars

9:43 AM

makes it more tolerable for your gut (edited)

im gonna try that

9:43 AM

what abt bread?

9:43 AM

is that bad

depends on what strains they ferment it with. you prob have pasteurise treated milk

4441312

what abt bread?

depends if its made properly

i got the seeded ones

9:44 AM

with seeds n stuff

or if youre celiac, gluten intolerant

4441312

i got the seeded ones

ah yeh

9:45 AM

both types have different issues

9:45 AM

commercial supermarket bread is bad either way

9:45 AM

i think we get most of our stuff local

9:46 AM

but idk

i dont eat bread anymore

9:46 AM

its only good if you cant afford anything

9:46 AM

lol

i only eat it in the mornings

9:46 AM

when i dont have time to make anythinh else

what do you have with it

like ham

cured meats shouldnt really cause acne unless it has some weird preservatives, or lots of sugar added

9:48 AM

do you eat nuts, margarine, nut butters?

nope

4441312

u think hormones play a big part in my acne?

you can look at #bio-markers

10:26 AM

theres a hormone section for blood work if youre worried about that

4441312

u think accutane would be too overkill?

https://discord.com/channels/1169738819688468501/1240593145771855954 i know a few people that have long term damage from accutane and they regret it (edited)

4441312

do genes play a part?

you can do a ancestrydna or 23andme dna test and check these: https://discord.com/channels/1169738819688468501/1244783035392720927

11:34 AM

most of the studied genes are just immune response related

11:36 AM

ive done gene tests and most of my issues are related to insulin resistance, autoimmune problems, diabetes (edited)

hi, i want help with my "acne"? ive been on adapalene for 2 and a half months now and its been looking like this for about a month. before adapalene, my acne was red and large, so i would def say it got better to some extent. however im not sure what is up with my skin now, because they dont really look like pimples, red & flat, and i dont think they are acne scars but i could be wrong.. im almost reaching the 3 month mark and it should be getting better but i personally havent seen improvement in a while. what is this and should i continue using adapalene?

3:10 PM

with the acne, do they have bumps currently?

Some of them are flat some of them are bumpy

3:12 PM

The feel of the bumpy ones are like tiny pebbles

ejin

The feel of the bumpy ones are like tiny pebbles

yea like nodules or something?

Chip

yea like nodules or something?

Yes

can you answer these: Average hours of sleep per night: Level of daily stress (Low, Medium, High): Exercise routine (type and frequency): Sunlight exposure (amount and frequency): Sunscreen use (type and frequency): (edited)

Average hours of sleep per night: 6-7 Level of daily stress (Low, Medium, High): medium Exercise routine (type and frequency): I take walks after school for around 20 minutes and do 30 minutes of workout routines on YouTube once I get home, when spring comes I go play volleyball for around an hour after school. Sunlight exposure (amount and frequency): everyday for 3-4 hours Sunscreen use (type and frequency): I use (neutrogena/ anessa) everyday in the morning for my makeup, I apply it all over but because of the cystic acne I just slap on a bandage to hide that part, I apply sunscreen on the rest, I reapply when I eat lunch. (edited)

hmm your sleep is kinda on the lower side

3:20 PM

7 should be fine though (for most people) (edited)

3:20 PM

Alright a couple more qs Do you consume dairy products? If yes, please specify: Do you consume nuts/seeds by themselves or as part of another product? If yes, please specify which:

Do you consume dairy products? If yes, please specify: I eat cheese and drink milk but not often. Do you consume nuts/seeds by themselves or as part of another product? If yes, please specify which: I don’t eat nuts, I drink/ eat chia seeds in some of my drinks.

alright. so i have a few tips which might help you

3:26 PM

if your sleep is adequate and you dont feel tired, not going to bed late, youre probably fine there. make sure youre getting enough sunlight for vitamin D, etc. High SPF can block this to some extent

1

3:27 PM

For the diet side of things: You might have a mild intolerances to egg, dairy, chia seeds. (due to digestion issues) (edited)

3:28 PM

Or you might be having too many carbs compared to fats (could be the case with the menstrual cycle) (edited)

3:30 PM

The location and type of your acne on the cheeks suggests it could be either gut or immune related. But the menstrual cycle does give insight as well.

3:31 PM

Do you eat much fat? Or is it mostly lean meat + rice, veggies?

3:31 PM

Im guessing chicken most likely?

Chicken and beef e_uhhh

Chicken and beef e_uhhh

ah cool. do you consume much fat or not really?

Chip

dietary fat? not usually. omega6 overload? probably

with nuts, if theyre not prepared properly, such as commercial roasted peanuts, it increases the allergenicity. its not related to the fat, its the proteins (edited)

Hello

Can anyone recommend me some good products for hormonal acne?

And some mild cystic acne?

StarsShine

Can anyone recommend me some good products for hormonal acne?

Like skincare or supplements?

11:24 AM

For deep acne, you could try Retinoids (Retinol)

Both

StarsShine

Both

for supplements/diet: https://discord.com/channels/1169738819688468501/1241216527731134524

11:31 AM

you can eat those ^ assuming its not being caused by a #deleted-channel (edited)

11:32 AM

You can try to use exfoliants or other antibacterial topicals but im not sure how much luck youre going to have with deep cystic/hormonal acne

Hmmm

11:35 AM

Thanks

11:36 AM

I'll have to do research about retinoids then

id go for retinol first probably

Yesss

11:42 AM

I'll have to go at the pharmacy then

Personally I avoid skincare nowadays as its too irritating for me and imo acne is a symptom of an internal issue

Yrss

just in general?

Yes, but this month has been even worse

12:06 PM

I keep craving pancakes, pizza, fast food, coffee and so on

12:06 PM

I have to present my thesis, go to work and then college

12:07 PM

To pay the monthly rent

StarsShine

Yes, but this month has been even worse

yeh stress is a big part of acne. mainly the hormonal and immune side of things

Chip

yeh stress is a big part of acne. mainly the hormonal and immune side of things

I get it

12:07 PM

Then I might go look for an acne product and a moisturizer then

it makes sense to crave high energy foods during stressful periods

Hello there I just joined this server because I need some serious help. I am currently in Idaho where summers are very dry. My skin is always great in the winter and terrible in the summer. I use cerave hydrating cleanser in the morning and cerave AM moisturizer. At night, I use Salicylic acid cerave renewing cleanser with PM Moisturizer. Nothing has helped. I wake up with whiteheads and huge red marks. My whole face is bumpy. What should I do?

are you allergic to niacinimde

2:47 AM

switch the moistuzier maybe

2:47 AM

also wear sunscreen

Jennifer Lawrence

are you allergic to niacinimde

The AM Moisturizer has SPF 30. And not sure about being allergic. How could I tell? Also, the worst part of my acne right now is the acne marks left over and the little bumps all over my face that don’t necessarily have white or black heads but are just bumpy I’m guessing from the dry summer weather.

the acne marks can be prevented and treated by wearing sunscreen everyday and reapplying every 2-4 hours

3:20 AM

and that sunscreen is really bad

3:20 AM

what kind of sunscreen would you like

3:21 AM

do you want it to feel moisturizing or dewy or matte or feel like nothing or help with dryness or oiliness

Jennifer Lawrence

do you want it to feel moisturizing or dewy or matte or feel like nothing or help with dryness or oiliness

I do wear a straw hat everywhere but I just want something that doesn’t clog my pores and lead to more acne

wearing a straw hat is great but wear sunscreen

6:18 AM

a good spf won’t clog pores and not westin spf will lead it to make the scarring worse and last longer

Jennifer Lawrence

a good spf won’t clog pores and not westin spf will lead it to make the scarring worse and last longer

Got it! Wear the sunscreen over the moisturizer?

which moistuzier

Cerave AM

6:19 AM

I do both cerave AM and PM

NO DONT USE CERAVE AM it’s so bad

Interesting why’s that

they have the worst sunscreens i’ve ever used

6:20 AM

what’s your budget you need a new spf

Good to know

6:20 AM

Don’t want to spend more than $20 on a sunscreen

Jennifer Lawrence

what’s your budget you need a new spf

What do you recommend?

devinthedog_7

What do you recommend?

what are you looking for in a sunscreen

6:45 AM

are you gonna be sweating do u want water resistant or do you want it to feel like a moistuzier what’s your skin type is it dry or oily or what

Jennifer Lawrence

are you gonna be sweating do u want water resistant or do you want it to feel like a moistuzier what’s your skin type is it dry or oily or what

don’t really know my skin type because I think my cheeks are dry but when I go outside in the sun, my whole face gets super wet

is that sweat

6:52 AM

or oil

Jennifer Lawrence

or oil

Good question. Probably both. My nose and forehead get super shiny

6:54 AM

But it’s weird because the summers here are super dry and that’s when I breakout.

maybe the free radicals from the sun might be causing ur acne

6:58 AM

you should use an antioxidant serum. and this is not yet proven but eating some foods rich in antioxidants daily as well might also help

devinthedog_7

But it’s weird because the summers here are super dry and that’s when I breakout.

do u want a water resistant sunscreen or one that’s almost like a moistuzier

Jennifer Lawrence

do u want a water resistant sunscreen or one that’s almost like a moistuzier

If you think I should get rid of the cerave AM and PM, then probably more like a moisturizer

Yes

1:53 PM

you should get the krave beauty spf 40 pa+++ it’s lightweight and moisturizing but it’s not water resistant and if you’re gonna be sweating you’ll need a water resistant one

Hello everyone hope all of yall are having a nice day/night

8:38 AM

Im concerned about my skin, About a few moths ago i noticed a dry patch on my skin, like this circular spot on my lower cheek that seems to always be dry despite the fact that i moisturise day and night

8:39 AM

Recently i started applying extra moisturiser on TOP of that patch overnight, when i woke up it seemed like the patch had went much smoother but in return went red, then it proceeds to going back to dry again in a matter of a few hours/s

8:39 AM

Im really unsure as what to do please some suggest something if they have any knowledge

lil dragonuu

Im concerned about my skin, About a few moths ago i noticed a dry patch on my skin, like this circular spot on my lower cheek that seems to always be dry despite the fact that i moisturise day and night

How long have you had this dry patch?

Is it eczema

@Chip what are cleansers you would recommend

for about 2.5 months i believe maybe 3

Chip

Is it eczema

No, don’t think so every picture of eczema looks very different to what i have, i think mine is just a basic dry patch

@Chip

lil dragonuu

No, don’t think so every picture of eczema looks very different to what i have, i think mine is just a basic dry patch

Ah okay. it probably got irritated by the moisturizer (edited)

8:01 PM

You could try to find another product, or just try to avoid moisturizing too much as it can actually dry it out more (edited)

8:01 PM

Are you having hot showers?

8:02 PM

does it look like either of these

Chip

You could try to find another product, or just try to avoid moisturizing too much as it can actually dry it out more (edited)

Okay thank you for that information i will not moisturezine that spot 24/7 as i have been doing the last couple of days

Chip

Are you having hot showers?

Only cold showers !

Chip

does it look like either of these

Hmm, Not really. To give you a better idea of what mine looks like , its basically like a small area on my cheek (lower) that is more tough and hard and it dries up. when applying moisture it will almost instantly absorb it but not relieving it in anyway, thus why i started applying extra moisture to sit on top of my dry spot which actually does make the dry ness go away but in return does turn a little red (idk if this is part of a healing process) but it always ends up drying up agaib

9:25 PM

Also it has no texture like those pictures on top its flat like the rest of skin, no bumps or a mole in my patch, just that the dry spot feels more dry and unhydrated than the rest of my skin

I started getting seed-like acne again

2:10 AM

Ughh

I have made an updated routine right now i am only using Cleanser and moisturiser with spf 25 2-3 times a day I was thinking about using serums so I designed a routine using ChatGpt and chat gpt replied with saying that I should also use my sunscreen of spf 30 after using my moisturiser with spf 25 do you think that is really necessary ? I am having closed comedones and when the residue is coming out it is like little hard rice and making a small pit and sometimes there is Dark hyperpigmentation with or without the pit Do you think the serums which i will be buying are required for my skin? And do i need to use moisturiser at night after using serums? Morning 5:45 A.m. Cleanser Serum Combined serum (The Derma Co Vitamin C 10% + Niacinamide 5% + Hyaluronic 2% acid) Moisturizer with spf 25 Sunscreen Spf 30 Evening/Noon 11:30 A.m.

you can try like lowish carb 50g-80g of carbs and see if it improves - this is for the insulin resistance side of things. as for food sensitivities, check out this https://discord.com/channels/1169738819688468501/1179948804116598804 (in short the main ones are eggs, dairy, grains/legumes/seeds/nuts) which oils do your parents cook in or use?

I dont think it will help. the main thng related to final height is growth hormone. So optimising your sleep and nutrition will allow you to reach your genetic potential or may even get you taller than your father if your lifestyle is on point (edited)

i’d like to know what products I can use to clear my red and dark spots. If you’re wondering why some spots look aggressively red, its due to my rosacea and sensitive skin. ty

I heard retinol can be useful. Try to learn about it

Hello what type of acne? do I have

i got prescribed doxycycline and after you stop taking it i know it usually makes your acne come back (sometimes worse). i heard that you can take accutane after but my acne isnt super severe and its expensive.. im using adapalene with the doxycycline would that prevent my acne from coming back or is stuff like accutane the only solution?

11:02 AM

btw ive been using adapalene for a long time im just now taking doxycycline

Is eating a snicker actually bad for acne?

What can cause irritation?

i was mainly thinking of skincare, soap, or hot water which would cause that. possibly something allergenic as well

damnabraham

not too good tbh, i do eat sugary stuff and chips but i get my fruit in and some vitamins

yeah lowest hanging fruit would be to cut out foods which heaps of ingredients and see how it improves.

I have a quick question What in your opinion is the cause of this and can it be fixed? I'm 23 , my skin didn't look this bad until very recently

is it dry?

accutane is a last option for severe cystic acne after trying everything else. it has heaps of long term side effects (possible growth stunting by closing growth plates early https://discord.com/channels/1169738819688468501/1240593145771855954/1251056927979474964), and requires proper monitoring. Accutane works by you eating a synthetic form of retinoic acid (metabolite of vitamin A) which goes directly to the skin via the blood. The reason why accutane works is by effectively bypassing certain steps of Vitamin A metabolism and boosting the levels to change how the skin grows. Topical retinoids are also forms of vitamin A, but they dont get absorbed into the body as well as systemic treatments like accutane (edited)

10:17 AM

You may possibly get some of these benefits (without all the side effects) by optimising vitamin A metabolism. One of the most studied minerals for acne is zinc. Zinc is crucial in the vitamin A metabolism and many trials have shown improvements (edited)

10:18 AM

In my opinion, everyone should first figure out what is going wrong with their digestion (liver, gallbladder, pancreas, stomach, intestines) and ensure all of the possible nutrient defiencies that is associated with acne are addressed prior to going onto accutane (edited)

Ichigo202020

2 of them are cysts

fix the environmental factors #acne-solutions , and skincare may help: you may need a retinol for cysts/hormonal or possibly something with antimicrobial effects for inflamed pustules if lifestyle factors arent addressed (edited)

10:37 AM

If you check out #deleted-channel i can help guide you on the environmental factors

10:39 AM

skincare will help address some of the environmental picture, but not all

thank you so much! ill probably try zinc. should i use zinc while im using doxy or after i finish taking it? also is there a certain "type" of zinc that is most recomended? i looked online a bit and found several that looked good but was wondering is any is better than the other. i found that zinc picolinate, zinc gluconateand, and zinc oxide might be good but idk which one is more effective. if it helps i have normal acne prone skin with papules and pie

zinc sulphate is used in a lot of the studies. like 200mg. depending on which type then the dosage may change Zinc methionine Zinc picolinate -Mentioned alongside zinc methionine as having better bioavailability than existing preparations. Zinc gluconate -Demonstrated better results than zinc sulphate and citrate in previous studies. Zinc sulphate -Generally shown to be less effective, suggesting lower bioavailability. Zinc citrate - Mentioned alongside zinc sulphate as being less effective. (edited)

there is a study comparing doxy to zinc sulphate. I think doxy came out on top in terms of improvement, but there was more side effects. but im not aware of a study with doxy + zinc, my guess would be better results. https://mj.tbzmed.ac.ir/Article/8843 (edited)

200mg of zinc sulphate is what i seen in the studies. which is about 40-50mg of elemental zinc. to get the equiv amount of elemental zinc from zinc picolinate would be ~230mg. keep in mind the bioavailability is lower with zinc sulphate, so you might require less zinc picolinate. (edited)

のび犬

yea, researching for acne is hard

its mainly about giving your body the nutrients it needs, supporting the absorption and transport of those nutrients. and getting enough rest and recovery

8:20 PM

the way I see skincare, is its a good short term solution to get nutrients to your skin, most likely because your digestive system is having trouble absorbing or transporting it

8:22 PM

see vitamin C for example, they tried to make serums for that, but it oxidises quickly and therefore isnt effective. our body isnt supposed to get that nutrient through our skin...

8:22 PM

the only nutrient we're supposed to get through the skin is vitamin D, and possibly minerals from swimming (edited)

Chip

the way I see skincare, is its a good short term solution to get nutrients to your skin, most likely because your digestive system is having trouble absorbing or transporting it

oh maybe thats why, i always tried to fix my skin with skincare and it worked for some people but i never thought about getting in the nutrients until now

のび犬

oh maybe thats why, i always tried to fix my skin with skincare and it worked for some people but i never thought about getting in the nutrients until now

yeah it depends on your type of acne as well. like persistent nodular/cysts will unlikely be treated through a basic skincare stack. its a systemic issue with the body (edited)

Chip

see vitamin C for example, they tried to make serums for that, but it oxidises quickly and therefore isnt effective. our body isnt supposed to get that nutrient through our skin...

oh i have a vitamin c serum and wondered why it didnt work.. eating healthier could lead to better skin? getting nutrients through mostly pills is prob not good

のび犬

oh i have a vitamin c serum and wondered why it didnt work.. eating healthier could lead to better skin? getting nutrients through mostly pills is prob not good

yeah so for key nutrients like vitamins/minerals youd get that from food imo

oh okay. used to have large pimples and that kinda fixed now i have flatter acne and that hasnt fixed for months

there are supplements such as silymarin (milk thistle), lactoferrin (from dairy), probiotics, berberine (from certain berries) which most people wouldnt be getting from regular foods

it could be related yes. but there could be other factors at play as well. the longer you eat poorly then that'll show

8:31 PM

stress/sleep is a big factor

8:32 PM

if you dont sleep properly then youre gonna be more likely to have acne

Chip

stress/sleep is a big factor

oh yea

no wonder

thats why some people can get away with eating like crap, they have other aspects of their lifestyle on point, or they have certain protective genes

hello, Im a teenager. And I have acne it's been 5 or 6months. I tried some skin care products but it's not actually working. I don't know what type of acne I have. But my pimples won't stop growing. and when the pimples go away they leave marks then boom. Again, I have pimples. So recently, I started using a 2% salicylic acid face wash and a 2% salicylic acid serum for acne. so it's been 3 days since I'm using this. I've noticed after using this. My pimples are starting to grow more. Is it normal?

2:10 AM

My skins probably just like you. They leave these dark marks when they are gone, trust me try a benzoyl peroxide product first

6:19 PM

If that doesn’t work try going to a family doctor for a retinol

If that doesn’t work try going to a family doctor for a retinol

But im already using a salicylic acid. Will it work?

im taking doxycycline and i know a lot of people have their acne come back after finishing the medication. is there a way i can prevent this? doxy works by targetting the bacteria causing acne (i think) and after you stop taking it the bacteria grows back or something and results in acne coming back. if i use another antibacterial product, can i prevent it? heres my routine now AM: joesoef sulfur soap melano cc vitamin c toner ato blue label gycerin moisturizer sunscreen PM: (twice a week) muji oil cleanser perfect whip face wash tea tree pad adapalene gel moisturizer after meal= doxycycline 1 dose

theyre better than systemic antibiotics just because antibiotics nuke your gut microbiome

no i havent, ill def consider that. is there like a most recomended topical i can try? and i would want to do the light therapy but its kinda expensive.. i might try to find cheap places but idk if expensive means better results lol wouldnt salt water dry out the skin and make things worse?

the standard topical treatment is benzoyl peroxide. I would try to find alternatives personall though

Yeah salt water can be drying potentially. Just like some topicals can be drying as well. It just depends on how your skin handles it

I would do a salt water bath like weekly or something like that

nevermind i have tried topicals. benzoyl peroxide didnt work

when i started i had flat ish pimples and were light colored and by month 3 i had massive red pimples so much worse than before. but the thing is i had barely any skincare knowledge and used the strongest stuff on my face everyday so maybe thats why? oil cleanse, salicylic acid cleanser, face wash, bp 5%.. im a bit scared to try again but maybe it was just my routine. i could try a lower percentage and im more confident in my routine now i could try salt water but i dont want to itritate my skin too much because im already using adapalene.. idk

i need help rlly badly

im 17 and have only recently (maybe a handful of months ago) begun to have some acne, ive begged to go to a dermatologist but my mother says its just hormonal and will go away with time as long as i cleanse and moisturise. i don’t see anything getting better, and occasionally i get cystic (i think that’s the word) acne on my cheeks, maybe one on both side or only one on my face that is bumpy and hurts, some of my acne is completely flat but some is pus-filled (very rarely, like the first image) and it’s really destroying my mental. everytime i try and ask for solutions im given the same advice of “wait it out, its hormonal” and idk id that’s true but im looking for advice here

if its any help the cleanser and moisturiser i use are • cerave blemish control cleanser • cerave moisturising lotion • cerave blemish control gel these were what was recommended 2 me at a chemist so idk if it’s making my skin WORSE or what. im absolutely terrified of intense acne scarring so any way to prevent it or ease my stress would help

if youre using multiple products together too much then it it can irritate, clog pores

depends on the ingredients as well

1:13 PM

i use it twice daily, idk if that’s too much but some people have said it can be too much twice daily

like the cerave blemish control gel could be too exfoliating, disrupting the skin barrier

1:14 PM

or the niacinamide could cause issues in some ppl

ohh that makes sense

1:14 PM

should i opt to use the gel once or twice a week instead in that case?

are you using both blemish control cleanser and blemish control gel?

the moisturising lotion could be causing issues due to pore clogging ingredients too (edited)

combine that with over exfoliation and itll be worse

its hard to really know. if youre getting digestive symptoms then its pretty bad already

12:55 PM

acne is sometimes an early sign though

thethug

I don't think mine is tbh

otherwise if your glycemic load is high or consuming processed oils then that can cause issues too

12:56 PM

what do you cook with? butter?

Chip

otherwise if your glycemic load is high or consuming processed oils then that can cause issues too

I nearly completely cut those

Chip

what do you cook with? butter?

When i cock meat i use sheep fat

ok that shouldnt really trigger acne unless youre consuming heaps of carbs

12:57 PM

otherwise if it does, its a liver or gallbladder issue

Chip

ok that shouldnt really trigger acne unless youre consuming heaps of carbs

I rarely consumed carbs these 2 months

12:58 PM

I am cutting

I needo somoting

thethug

I rarely consumed carbs these 2 months

@Chip I need help with something

thethug

My diet is only tuna eggs chicken / and red meat

Only?

12:59 PM

Then its probably the eggs or tuna

12:59 PM

if you eat tuna every day i guess you can accumulate heavy metals

Chip

And dairy no?

Cut it out last 2 weeks but used to daily before

Chip

how often do you get a new pimple

Almost always have one in a new place

thethug

Almost always have one in a new place

Daily, every second day, weekly, biweekly, monthly new pimple?

Chip

Daily, every second day, weekly, biweekly, monthly new pimple?

Like weekly aka after the one or 2 i noticed completely dry out

thethug

Like weekly aka after the one or 2 i noticed completely dry out

do you have any of these fatigue, frequent sickness, weight gain/loss, skin tags, dandruff, eczema, bloating/gas, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, allergies/sensitivities

Not these last months i have none of these

hey guys, i'd like to share my story i guess, i had cystic acne during teenage years starting at 13, at age 16 after suffering mentally a lot and trying different products and diets, i decided to go for ro accutane treatment. i am a boy so the side effects are less dangerous, it is especially dangerous for pregnant women, but i still had to get my bloods taken every 2 weeks to analyse my liver. all in all, my worst side effects were dry lips till they bleed (used vaseline) mentally i definitely had suicidal thoughts due to ro accutane which i never had before or since, even when my acne was at the worst, i vividly remember thinking suicidal thoughts and planning it in my head on ro accutane on two occasions. so be vary careful, and always remind yourself, it is a side effect of medication, if it ever happens to you. it fixed my acne though after a year course i believe if i remember right. maybe a little less. but it did fix the biology of my skin for the most part, i still get acne, but nowhere near as bad, one or two spots every now and then, before i was completely covered

1:20 PM

my other advice is you should know which foods make your skin oily, for me it is potato chips, idk why but any brand make my face only super oily, i can eat a bag of chips and i can feel the acne starting its crazy

1:24 PM

another good remedy for me was a green tea teabag in a boiling hot pot, put a towel over your head over the pot so you steam your face in it, that really helped my skin before ro accutane

damn man glad you got thru it

Padsworth

interesting. do you get it from potato in general or just potato chips? its could be the oils they use to fry it

Chip

interesting. do you get it from potato in general or just potato chips? its could be the oils they use to fry it

potato chips specifically, it is literally any brand, but walkers (lays) was the worst one for me, but doritos, pringles, they would all do it easy

1:26 PM

it will be the oils in the chips tho

1:26 PM

i guess they are all junk foods and not good

yeh man they use crap oils that oxidise

Chip

do you have any of these fatigue, frequent sickness, weight gain/loss, skin tags, dandruff, eczema, bloating/gas, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, allergies/sensitivities

so you think i should cut tuna and eggs out ?

Padsworth

potato chips specifically, it is literally any brand, but walkers (lays) was the worst one for me, but doritos, pringles, they would all do it easy

lays uses sunflower oil. sunflower seed consumption has been shown to aggravate acne in a randomized control trial Sunflower Seed and Acne Vulgaris. Iranian Red Crescent medical journal, 17(9), e16544. https://doi.org/10.5812/ircmj.16544 (edited)

yes, this makes sense, i did suspect the sunflower oil

thethug

so you think i should cut tuna and eggs out ?

how many grams of tuna do you eat per day on average

1:30 PM

can you swap the tuna for sardines instead?

i've also ordered a l'oreal face wash for the shower and an eye roll on to help the panda eyes i have, but i have always had panda eyes

Chip

how many grams of tuna do you eat per day on average

100 +

Chip

can you swap the tuna for sardines instead?

dont think so

thethug

so you think i should cut tuna and eggs out ?

I think the eggs would more likely be causing it. but heavy metals in tuna might be playing a minor role as well. you can try lowering the eggs and swap it for something else

man loves his tuna lol

Padsworth

i've also ordered a l'oreal face wash for the shower and an eye roll on to help the panda eyes i have, but i have always had panda eyes

is that a sleep related thing?

1:32 PM

the panda eyes

Chip

is that a sleep related thing?

pretty much, my sleep patterns always been messed up for years

sleep apnea?

and i also get baked

lol

idk my mind is just crazy i think its always running

1:34 PM

i feel the need to stay up until i cant

1:34 PM

and learn stuff ig

1:34 PM

or think about stuff

yeh nightowl

1:35 PM

if you get sunlight it can fix that

i guess but some nights it is ridiculous, i will be tired but stay up until 8 am learning about random things

1

youll get tired at night

1:35 PM

and wont feel like that

yeah well i have been out of a job for a lil while so thats not been good

1:36 PM

and i didnt do anything bad to lose my job they just couldnt afford it anymore

its because your circadian rhythm is all messed up. could be consumption or sunlight related

Padsworth

yeah well i have been out of a job for a lil while so thats not been good

ahh damn

Chip

its because your circadian rhythm is all messed up. could be consumption or sunlight related

i think diet and sunlight is correct tbh you are right 100%

1:38 PM

i dont eat breakfast lunch dinner everyday at the right times, i mostly just eat dinner maybe breakfast and dinner on a good day and all 3 on a birthday lol

ahaha

but i stopped smoking a month and a half ago. so i have been eating more at dinner, i just have to spread it out more

yea

i smoked for 10 years cigarettes and the difference is unbelievable for me

1:39 PM

i always loved food but i can taste it so much clearer now

1:39 PM

and all the smells are so much stronger

Padsworth

i always loved food but i can taste it so much clearer now

wow hahah

and i feel like, my skin rn is clearing out nicotine still from my body and all the toxins in cigarettes i have been addicted to for years. so i have had acne recently since i stopped smoking but i think that will improve

1:42 PM

will also be stress related side effects causing acne,

1:42 PM

anxiety ect

1:43 PM

so yeah common sense but if you smoke and want your skin to improve, stop smoking lol

Padsworth

will also be stress related side effects causing acne,

yeah definitely

Padsworth

and i feel like, my skin rn is clearing out nicotine still from my body and all the toxins in cigarettes i have been addicted to for years. so i have had acne recently since i stopped smoking but i think that will improve

aaaaa

ok thanks for your time big man

thethug

ok thanks for your time big man

@Chip so you think adding extra skin stuff like salicylic acid wont help ?

thethug

ok thanks for your time big man

no worries mate

thethug

@Chip so you think adding extra skin stuff like salicylic acid wont help ?

what are you currently using?

Chip

what are you currently using?

tretnoin

it might help as long as you dont disrupt the skin barrier and cause irritation

Chip

it might help as long as you dont disrupt the skin barrier and cause irritation

how to avoid that ?

i wouldnt worry about it if youre already using tret

2:14 PM

you can try in small amts and see how your skin reacts

i m using for a month rn i was able to increase amount from 2 times a week to 3

thethug

i m using for a month rn i was able to increase amount from 2 times a week to 3

do you have coconut oil? you can try cooking your food in that if you like it, its high in lauric acid, which has been shown to have antimicrobial effects against the acne bacteria

Chip

do you have coconut oil? you can try cooking your food in that if you like it, its high in lauric acid, which has been shown to have antimicrobial effects against the acne bacteria

Nah we don't have here

What is this red dot?

2:14 AM

I have it on like 3 different fingers

Bug bite maybe?

It looks like a wart more but I can’t imagine it on 4 different fingers

Can’t warts spread between fingers though?

But like 7 warts on 4 fingers in a few days?

I honestly don’t know

4:30 AM

You could try some wart cream and see if it goes away

4:31 AM

Or show it to a pharmacist or doctor, they’ll know how to treat it

I have an appointment at Tuesday

4:48 AM

But how can I prevent it spreading more?

Antifungal cream or something might be worth a try if you have some

5:23 AM

Idk though, I’m not a doctor

hello

hey

i’ve got concerns about some sort of rash i’ve contracted after taking off a bandaid

3:57 PM

would you know anything about it

3:57 PM

or might you know, shall i say

Deleted User

i’ve got concerns about some sort of rash i’ve contracted after taking off a bandaid

how bad is it?

i don’t know, doesn’t look too appealing that’s for sure

3:59 PM

it’s only slightly irritating

3:59 PM

a bit itchy but i’m not going to risk scratching it

4:00 PM

i got a shitty stick and poke tattoo, made sure to sterilize it, kept it wrapped, and then a friend had mentioned that perhaps a bandaid would be a better course than some gauze and a wrap

4:00 PM

i put the bandage on for a day

4:00 PM

took it off

4:00 PM

and this irritated section where the pad of the bandaid was has been ever since

4:01 PM

maybe 2 days or more

4:01 PM

at first it was just red

4:01 PM

now it’s starting to look like little bumps

4:01 PM

some darker red than others

4:01 PM

kinda freaking me out lol

4:02 PM

idk if maybe it’s just a hygiene issue, or if i’m allergic to either the ink or the bandaid or something else

4:02 PM

i’m not really sure

Deleted User

now it’s starting to look like little bumps

however, this is only true to the area that the ink doesn’t sit

4:03 PM

i can send a picture if that’d help

Deleted User

idk if maybe it’s just a hygiene issue, or if i’m allergic to either the ink or the bandaid or something else

yeah possibly

Deleted User

i can send a picture if that’d help

sure

5:18 PM

Like if its not improving then maybe get it checked out

Hello I really really need some help, where can I post a pic for my acne that I’m suffering for advice?

Chip

Like if its not improving then maybe get it checked out

Hello! Could you please help me? My skin had been looking so bad recently

5:29 PM

I don’t know what these tiny bumps are

Larry

Hello! Could you please help me? My skin had been looking so bad recently

fungal or whiteheads

5:41 PM

hard to tell

5:41 PM

looks like youve got other types as well

yea it’s so hard to tell

5:51 PM

Could it also be closed comedones?

5:52 PM

oh whitehead and closed comedones are the same, what can be the treatment?

does anyone know what this is, it might be just scars but am not sure

looks like scars

1:17 PM

Is this an exfoliating one

1:18 PM

If so do I use it twice a week am only?

Ichigo202020

Is this an exfoliating one

yes, bha is a type of exfoliant

Ichigo202020

If so do I use it twice a week am only?

it depends on your skin sensitivity.. I recommend trying it once a week then building up your tolerance if unsure, but twice is fine

4:32 PM

if you use active ingredients in the AM, it is best to use the bha cleanser at a different time of day

@jeune can I use it at night?

5:27 PM

Like 3x normal night

5:27 PM

2x exfoliating night (edited)

5:27 PM

And 2x adapalene night

Ichigo202020

And 2x adapalene night

I don't have personal experience with using this medication. I recommend asking your doctor if this was prescribed to you, or comparing routines with others

5:32 AM

Using BHA along with adapalene often may increase your skin's sensitivity (if you are new to the exfoliant) and cause dryness that will damage your skin barrier

5:38 AM

If you already have the product, you can slowly introduce it into your skincare regimen. I'd say try once a week at night and see how it goes. You can increase the frequency over time if you don't notice any negative reactions (redness, peeling, etc.) Would you mind telling me more about your routine AM and PM and how you use the products?

Based on watching videos and reading forums, the best step for you to take at this moment would most likely be to focus on the adapalene treatment before moving onto a bha cleanser

My acne overall is getting better but 3 days ago this thing got really bigger

9:21 AM

do you think there was anything that could've triggered it?

9:21 AM

perhaps excess oils or something you ate

Noo, i eat good food for acne, no fast food sodas, diary, whey protein and anything that can cause acne,

9:23 AM

Im doing this for 3 weeks and thats why im surprised

Hi everyone, new to the group. I’m 17 and have had TSW since January 2023. I’m currently at a stage where my skin is sort of healed but I have big patches of white/red skin on my face and arms. Does anyone know what stage it is. Also how long will it take for my skin to repair back to normal skin colour. Thanks in advance!

jeune

dm me and I'll get to you when I can.. I used to have a similar problem

Tried, could you add me. When I try to add or message you it gives me an error

i’ve done the caveman regimen to my skin for almost 2 months now. rarely get any new acne, redness has decreased by a significant amount, and acne scars are naturally starting to fade. i guess the answer for some people is just laying off the harsh chemicals lol

i’ve done the caveman regimen to my skin for almost 2 months now. rarely get any new acne, redness has decreased by a significant amount, and acne scars are naturally starting to fade. i guess the answer for some people is just laying off the harsh chemicals lol

yeah more isnt necessarily better

3:48 PM

especially when combining lots of different topicals (edited)

it kinda hit me at once when i realized i didn’t have any problems till i started using a skincare routine. everyone’s skin is just so different

insomniac jack

it kinda hit me at once when i realized i didn’t have any problems till i started using a skincare routine. everyone’s skin is just so different

none at all?

3:49 PM

like no acne?

no, i mean i would have a pimple here and there but rare

yeah

then started using skincare and acne got bad

what were you using

stopped using it, and now i’m here much improvement

everyone pushes like multiple cleansers+sunscreen+moisturizer etc

Chip

what were you using

this cerave 3 step thing it had BP, resurfacing retinol serum, and a am and pm mosturizer

sounds like irritation

insomniac jack

this cerave 3 step thing it had BP, resurfacing retinol serum, and a am and pm mosturizer

yeah they love to sell multiple products lol

3:55 PM

if i needed to use topicals, i would only use 1

3:58 PM

like most of the reason why you have to moisturise is because youre having super hot showers which dries the skin out, or using other topicals which dries it out (edited)

3:59 PM

a light sunscreen for face is fine if youre worried about sun damage, especially during high UV index

3:59 PM

the other stuff isnt necessary imo

I washed my face with shampoo to get rid of my fungal acne but now its literal sandpaper

accutane month 6, its a lot better and a lot less bumpy but the scars still red asf, any tips to get rid of them?

nothing much you can do about it ( i think, wait for other peoples opinions ) until you get off accutane

12:17 PM

im on my 22nd day of accutane

yo

11:50 PM

can i ask yall in here i wanna go on accutane to glow up cuz im finna making money and taking care of myself n shi and looksmaxxing but im afraid itll lower my testosterone or ruin my muscle gains cuz i weightlift in the gym all the time anyone have experience with this? ruined sex drive? ED? lower test? other symptoms?

11:51 PM

@Nikola

yeah i heard abt accutane lowering test but i dont see any symptoms, i do calisthenics and i still get stronger so i think its cap @Nolapse

i lift weights and shit

11:53 PM

my test level was checked at 790 NG/DL

you will have bloodwork done every month or 2 if you go on accutane

thats fine

11:54 PM

i just wanna make sure it doesnt lower my muscle mass or anything

so maybe you see if it goes a bit down

im gonna cut down rn and get shredded

11:55 PM

and then probably consider starting accutane

do you really have acne bad enough to go on accutane?

11:56 PM

i kinda regret it because I could've tried a few more things before going immediately on accutane cause i really wanted clear skin but the purge was awful for me

how was the purge bad @Nikola

11:58 PM

why was it hard

Nolapse

how was the purge bad @Nikola

in the first few months it gets worse but it depends on your acne type and skin type how much it will take for it to go away

i dont have a lot rn

12:01 AM

just on my face

Nikola

accutane month 6, its a lot better and a lot less bumpy but the scars still red asf, any tips to get rid of them?

this is how my face looks rn

12:01 AM

just a little more faded out

12:02 AM

this was my face before accutane

12:02 AM

exactly like that

Nikola

holy fuck what the

yeah and i was supposed to be done this month but have to continue till every acne disappears so like 8 months of accutane for results

12:06 AM

you can consider it but try weeks without sugar and shit, accutane should be your last hope if nothing works

1

it comes back too i heard

i hope not

Nikola

Click to see attachment 🖼️

but it cant come worse than this lol

Nolapse

can i ask yall in here i wanna go on accutane to glow up cuz im finna making money and taking care of myself n shi and looksmaxxing but im afraid itll lower my testosterone or ruin my muscle gains cuz i weightlift in the gym all the time anyone have experience with this? ruined sex drive? ED? lower test? other symptoms?

another major one would be potential stunted height. how old are you?

7:43 AM

theres heaps of things to try prior to accutane tbh

7:43 AM

accutane is old tech from the 70s lol

7:48 AM

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35876008/ “This natural formulation promotes regression and/or cure of acne vulgaris symptoms and has better results than drugs (such as isotretinoin), without significant side effects.” “A single-blind randomized study was conducted in which 257 patients were treated with the above dietary supplementation (group A) and 275 patients with isotretinoin (group B) for 6 months. All patients in group A (100%) reported complete regression of symptoms after 6 months of treatment. On the other hand, 187 subjects (68%) in group B reported complete resolution of symptoms during the same period. The difference between the groups (p < 0.05) was statistically significant”

1

7:50 AM

a dietary intervention + supp formulation beat accutane basically (edited)

7:51 AM

can get everything in that supp from fish

7:52 AM

how often do you workout? you might need more bioavailable protein from meat specifically

7:53 AM

especially if your digestion is lacking and cant break down harder proteins like nuts, seeds, gluten, casein, egg whites

can someone help me identify what type of acne i have and if possible help me create a skin care routine around it

i dont think thats true tbh

i dont think thats true tbh

depends on age and dose

16 and 60mg daily

it would be worse if you were like 13 or something

but i still grew in this 6 months while using it

youve probably already got most your height

Nikola

16 and 60mg daily

60kg?

no 70kg he will probably increase my dose since its still not helping my skin

5:09 PM

i would probably have better skin if i didnt start it but too late now

if youre happy with your height then by all means. imo I would optimise for height during teen years

Nikola

i would probably have better skin if i didnt start it but too late now

its not too late lol

"might" so it might not

Nikola

"might" so it might not

it depends really. theres cases of it happening in younger people. its a trade off between whether you want to take the risk or not

5:10 PM

trade off between potential scarring

Chip

its not too late lol

I've been on it since january im not stopping now ill wait few more months till it clears out, but when i eat sugar it gives me really bad cystic acne

its up to you to weigh the benefits and potential risk

5:11 PM

your dose isnt super high

Chip

trade off between potential scarring

i will already have it because you can see here

Nikola

Click to see attachment 🖼️

it was bad

yeah i mean a lot of the topicals and oral treatments they give you can cause purging as well

5:12 PM

and it can come back

5:12 PM

nothing is guaranteed

yeah but it would probably be better if i didnt take accutane and just grow up

most of my scarring is due to introducing topicals

Nikola

yeah but it would probably be better if i didnt take accutane and just grow up

redness or inflammation?

Nikola

accutane month 6, its a lot better and a lot less bumpy but the scars still red asf, any tips to get rid of them?

.

5:15 PM

when acne disappears the redness after it

hmm for scarring of old acne. is it bright red or dark?

red

if its bright red then its still inflamed somewhat. if its darker red and becoming more a purple colour then its not really inflamed

5:17 PM

ive got this table here. but you might run the risk of causing more irritation

5:17 PM

is it mainly the discolouring youre triggering to target?

i was thinking of buying derma stamp in the future, but acne is still not gone so i cant use it

5:22 PM

and its just red not purple

5:22 PM

so its still inflamed i gotta give it some time

Hello! I join this servor because I had acne for ~10 years I decided to take contraceptive pill and during 4 years my acne is gone. I still take it but for 5 months everything came back, I don’t know why… I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling so bad, I think the last thing to do is to take Roaccutane/Curacne but I’m afraid (Sorry for my English)

you're getting me worried, why would accutane stop growth plates i could grow a few more cm

Nikola

you're getting me worried, why would accutane stop growth plates i could grow a few more cm

it depends on your age, dosage, how long youre on it. most of the cases that are reported are in young teens

Chip

it depends on your age, dosage, how long youre on it. most of the cases that are reported are in young teens

its not a big dose like 150mg but 60mg. Im gonna need to be like 8,9 months on it, im on the 6th

6:07 PM

and btw do you think acne will come back after stopping accutane?

Nikola

its not a big dose like 150mg but 60mg. Im gonna need to be like 8,9 months on it, im on the 6th

if youre side effects arent too bad then its less likely

6:17 PM

it is rare. my main point is it might affect final height, its hard to really know for sure if you still be affected by it

6:18 PM

you have to weigh the risks between having acne / acne scars, purging, and having long term side effects

6:18 PM

i would prefer to go on accutane if it doesnt clear up when im in my 20s

6:23 PM

you should at least try increasing zinc intake prior to taking accutane. its involved with vitamin A metabolism, shown to improve acne in some people. Accutane is an active form of vitamin A, bypassing key steps of vitamin A metabolism

Chip

if youre side effects arent too bad then its less likely

now i barely have any side effects thank God. and i have acne conglobata which is very severe and everything i tried didnt work, so accutane is my last option

Nikola

yeah hey

Chip

yeah hey

hello how long will my purge last

10:40 AM

i started on the 12

10:40 AM

and was doing 3x a week and starting this week every other day

lo

hello how long will my purge last

could be a few weeks up to 8 weeks apparently

10:55 AM

i havent found many studies on it

10:55 AM

when I was deep into skincare with multiple products, i was "purging" for 8 weeks until i took out epiduo (adapelene + benzoyl peroxide)

so

10:59 AM

what should i do.

11:05 AM

i am confused

11:05 AM

because I am losing hope

lo

what should i do.

you started on the 12th of last month?

lo

and was doing 3x a week and starting this week every other day

how is your skin reacting besides the purging. is there irritation. what other products are you using

Chip

you started on the 12th of last month?

nope this month

11:28 AM

my skin was dry first 2 weeks now not anymore

11:28 AM

a little red but nun too much

11:29 AM

I USE cetaphil gentle cleanser, round lab birch moisturizer, and Boj sunscreen

11:29 AM

i use sandwich method

11:33 AM

when i first got like heavy hitting acne, before differin, my acne was usually on my right side of face rather than my left

11:33 AM

so when I started using differin most of purging is on right side… is that regular?

lo

I USE cetaphil gentle cleanser, round lab birch moisturizer, and Boj sunscreen

The cleanser might could be exacerbating irritation caused by adapelene. the boj sunscreen has some pore clogging ingredients I think

11:44 AM

not sure what the full ingredients list for birch moisturizer is

yes im going to change my sunscreen, im going to start using the round lab birch sunscreen

lo

I USE cetaphil gentle cleanser, round lab birch moisturizer, and Boj sunscreen

If it were me, I would use warm water only to cleanse. Moisturize only if needed. Apply adapelene at night 3x a week, next day, cleanse with water again, and apply sunscreen due to increased sun sensitivity

what is wrong with the cleasner

Its probably unnecessary

11:47 AM

Unless the sunscreen is clogging ur pores

are you sure, I am active

Is it dirt or just sweat?

I work in a restaurant as a cook

11:47 AM

and i play basketball out of work

lo

I work in a restaurant as a cook

ah crap

why

are you standing over a fryer, or just a grill or something?

i put my face away from it (edited)

11:48 AM

ya

11:49 AM

both

lo

why

its not the best thing for the skin I guess. it shouldnt cause acne but it can exacerbate it

yes i see

11:49 AM

so is my routine ok, with a different sunscreen

possibly yeah

11:51 AM

when using lots of actives, it can cause purging

11:51 AM

how many weeks have you been using it for

my adapalene?

11:52 AM

july 12 to current

11:52 AM

my skin is relatively clear on my left cheek, but on my right i have like pimples, some under ground, some out, not too bad tho

o

weird question, is it safe to use a mandelic acid serum after its been sitting in the sun for 3 weeks? i ordered it a few days before vacation and it was gonna arrive on time but it didnt

so when i come back is it still ok to use? this is probably a dumb question but i wanna make sure

what was the temperature outside? and was it directly exposed to the sun

jeune

what was the temperature outside? and was it directly exposed to the sun

max temp usually around 30°C, and its not directly theres a roof but still outside

のび犬

max temp usually around 30°C, and its not directly theres a roof but still outside

in a box tho right?

Nikola

my dermatologist gave me an injection to reduce my inflammation but it made it a lot worse

(edited)

Ah but i hate it so muchhh

what have you tried dude?

Nikola

yes but my body reacted opposite way it gave me more information..

increased it on your face or?

8:26 PM

best way to quickly reduce acne inflammation would be to avoid certain foods and get good rest (edited)

8:26 PM

fasting can give you similar results

1

Okay so i started it all with like cerave things when i didnt know any better, this was like a year ago. Later i went on things like benzoyl peroxide and this helped just a bit, i started doing more research and started eating more healthy and got prescribed Epiduo and Azelaic acid (20% or 25 i dont remeber) theese two i still use to this day. I used those products for a long time and it defently helped but not How i wanted it to help, so i went to my dermatologist aigan wich prescribed me Lymeciclin wich Im currently on

8:29 PM

Yapp session

8:29 PM

I can find a pic from How it was before

is the antibiotic helping

It is a bit but not too much like i said

8:31 PM

This video was when i was using benzoyl proxide (defently my lowest point) hella cooked

did you break out all at the same time?

Chip

did you break out all at the same time?

Yeah bascily

8:31 PM

One from yesterday i think

Remi

This video was when i was using benzoyl proxide (defently my lowest point) hella cooked

Let me fond it rq

you can try tracking it

Chip

you can try tracking it

My sleep hasent been the best the last 3 days

Remi

This video was when i was using benzoyl proxide (defently my lowest point) hella cooked

damn

Remi

My sleep hasent been the best the last 3 days

yea that can worsen things lol

8:33 PM

do you workout?

Chip

do you workout?

yeah i do

8:34 PM

i have combination skin so im kinda oily upper cheeks where my breakouts were, could it have anything to do with it

8:34 PM

or like sweat drying from when i was working out

8:36 PM

There it is

Remi

or like sweat drying from when i was working out

hmm could be workout related. maybe not sweat though sweat from working out showed no statistically significant differences in acne: Short, R. W., Agredano, Y. Z., Choi, J. M., & Kimball, A. B. (2008). A single-blinded, randomized pilot study to evaluate the effect of exercise-induced sweat on truncal acne. Pediatric dermatology, 25(1), 126–128. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1525-1470.2007.00604.x

8:36 PM

that study is truncal acne though

in what way do you tthink it could be workout relatad

Remi

in what way do you tthink it could be workout relatad

overtraining, not enough sleep, increased nutrient requirements, possibly supplement related

i defently havent been overtraing tho

should be fine then

8:38 PM

are you still avoiding eggs?

recently no

btw what oils do you cook in

i have been eating them as breakfast tlast 4 days

Chip

btw what oils do you cook in

just butter

Chip

btw what oils do you cook in

wait the eggs or in a whole

just in general

oilve oil

make sure its single source, extra virgin

8:41 PM

generic olive oil is probably cut with crap oils

8:41 PM

cooking with them isnt good

would u think that could be a reason

definitely wouldnt be the only thing

8:42 PM

theres a lot of things to have to happen for acne to occur (edited)

but is eggs fine to eat or?

Conditions: What are ANY other conditions (doesn't matter how small!) you have (E.g. absent menstrual cycles, fatigue, frequent sickness, weight gain/loss, skin tags, dandruff, eczema, bloating/gas, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, allergies/sensitivities, stress behaviors, sleep, moles):

8:43 PM

you can sometimes use these to figure some of the causes

Remi

but is eggs fine to eat or?

I mean good quality eggs are ok, but dont eat too many probably. if youre acne prone eggs arent the best option, mainly due to certain proteins in the egg whites

8:44 PM

acne is a sign of a weakness somewhere. egg whites require strong digestion

Chip

Conditions: What are ANY other conditions (doesn't matter how small!) you have (E.g. absent menstrual cycles, fatigue, frequent sickness, weight gain/loss, skin tags, dandruff, eczema, bloating/gas, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, allergies/sensitivities, stress behaviors, sleep, moles):

i have had eczema before on my legs when i was young, on and off with bloating/gas and i have moles but they have been checked out by my doctor

acne has been associated with H pylori infection, which affects your stomach. https://discord.com/channels/1169738819688468501/1179948878267678832/1268552055056892036

Remi

i have had eczema before on my legs when i was young, on and off with bloating/gas and i have moles but they have been checked out by my doctor

eczema could be an allergy. bloating/gas is related to weaknesses in digestion when eating foods that dont sit well obv

8:47 PM

moles are associated with acne, but im still looking into it

8:47 PM

could be fragile skin basically (edited)

yeah i have some larger moles but not on my face tho

arms?

8:48 PM

which country do you live in

on my chest and leg

Chip

which country do you live in

norway (edited)

the sun isnt that strong there is it?

no not at all

do you burn more easily than tan?

Chip

do you burn more easily than tan?

lymeciclin has made that happen

8:49 PM

before that was never a problem

ahh

8:49 PM

what olive oil do you buy

8:49 PM

do you have the brand

im not the one buying but ill check it out 2sec

8:52 PM

Ali Shahan

Raps & Olivenolje Eldorado 1L

8:52 PM

Its all in Norwegian tho..

damn

8:54 PM

rapeseed oil

8:54 PM

dont use it

8:54 PM

especially dont cook with it

8:54 PM

im suspicious of seed oils

8:55 PM

https://discord.com/channels/1169738819688468501/1179951264591794246

8:58 PM

when I use oils for cooking its like animal fat or coconut oil because its more stable. and for adding oils onto salads or something then extra virgin olive oil, EV avocado oil

i made a chicken breast meal two days ago that was cooked with alot of that oil

9:00 PM

that could probably be a reason

maybe, the longer you use it the more the effects will build up

9:00 PM

do you usually eat lean protein?

any examples of lean protien

9:01 PM

is it like meat?

chicken, turkey

oh yeah i eat chicken often

9:01 PM

arent eggs lean protein aswell

the egg whites would be

9:02 PM

egg yolk has some fats

9:02 PM

is chicken your main source of protein?

i dont really have a diet where i track what i eat

9:03 PM

but eggs and meats

add some other meats to your diet like fish, pork, beef, etc

i eat fish often

9:03 PM

3 - 2 days a week

salmon?

+ i take fish oil

norwegian salmon haha

Chip

salmon?

not too much salmon no

Chip

norwegian salmon haha

haha yeah i dont rlly know the english name of the fishes

9:04 PM

let me treanslate rq, but i know what salmon is ofc

9:05 PM

i eat a lot of Cod aswell

Remi

i eat a lot of Cod aswell

nice

9:06 PM

if you can find a good source of fatty wild caught fish you coudl replace your fish oil supplement

9:06 PM

cod is pretty lean, youd need to add carbs or oils to it probably

i had a vitamin D deficency so i took some supplements

9:07 PM

but now i rather take a bit more fish oil to replace the supplements as it contains vitamin D aswell

fatty fish will have vitamin D as well yeah

Remi

but now i rather take a bit more fish oil to replace the supplements as it contains vitamin D aswell

yep

9:08 PM

leaner fish doesnt have as much omega3s and vitamin D

but would it be worth it making like a diet plan or anything to keep track of what i eat?

wild caught fatty fish is pretty expensive tho

Remi

but would it be worth it making like a diet plan or anything to keep track of what i eat?

not really

Chip

wild caught fatty fish is pretty expensive tho

yeah true

i mean if your acne is mild like that you have to track

9:09 PM

whereas severe acne is quite easy to find triggers

9:09 PM

you just have to know what the main acne triggers are

would u say i got mild acne

your latest one yeah

9:10 PM

theres a lot of things to try

9:10 PM

so many things haha

yeah its gotten better and im happy for that ofc, but its kinda hard still

Chip

so many things haha

yeah its hard to keep track hah

https://discord.com/channels/1169738819688468501/1241216527731134524

Chip

https://discord.com/channels/1169738819688468501/1241216527731134524

yeah just saw that

Chip

i mean if your acne is mild like that you have to track

so u think i should track?

Remi

so u think i should track?

track the photos and then if you can just remember from the last week. the main things sleep, stress

yeah alr I understand, so no like diet plan or things like that

you dont need to plan a diet

9:13 PM

you can take photos of your food

9:13 PM

if you want

9:13 PM

its the easiest way

oh yeah that would help

9:13 PM

so take pictures of my skin and the foods i eat?

theres apps to track your acne with a photo. then just take a photo of your meal

9:14 PM

after 6 months youll have some data

9:14 PM

its not easy

that sounds conveinient

9:14 PM

well do u know any apps

theres heaps. my picks are at the top

9:14 PM

https://discord.com/channels/1169738819688468501/1269125910834057307

Chip

after 6 months youll have some data

yeah well u have to start somwhere

SkinTheory (App), Skinlog

9:15 PM

good for just photos

9:15 PM

of your face

9:16 PM

or if you want, just take a photo of your face with the flashlight on your left,right,front face in the morning (edited)

9:16 PM

then photos of meals

9:16 PM

then just eat normally

9:16 PM

after some time you may find triggers

yeah it takes time tho

yep :/

9:17 PM

because most of it comes from a deficiency that has been going on for a long time

but well if u want to do something the right way thats how it is

Chip

because most of it comes from a deficiency that has been going on for a long time

yeah so when you find it it will be easier to manage

9:17 PM

but the Lymeciciln

9:17 PM

should i just keep going?

its hard because sometimes its not triggers, its that youre missing things

Remi

should i just keep going?

if its working then you can go a bit longer but i wouldnt use it long term

Chip

if its working then you can go a bit longer but i wouldnt use it long term

yeah my doctor said like max 6 months

9:18 PM

and come back in 3 months

9:18 PM

and if it dosnt work within 1 motnh quit, but it has kinda helped

9:19 PM

it feels kinda reassuring in a way, since if i stop and just focus on all-natural ways it can go bad

yeah'

9:20 PM

you can combine treatments with diet and youll get better results (edited)

9:20 PM

its hard to track if youre combining treatments though

what treatments would that be

like antibiotics, topicals etc + diet

9:20 PM

itll be more effective

yeah thats excatly what im doing rn

9:21 PM

lymecilin + epiduo, azaliac acid + diet (edited)

like theres studies showing lower side effects and better results from accutane when doing dietary stuff

9:21 PM

https://discord.com/channels/1169738819688468501/1240593145771855954/1266271232966524938

9:22 PM

carnitine, primrose oil, silymarin, omega3, biotin, zinc

9:22 PM

they all improved the outcome of accutane

so they improved when already going on accutane rigth?

i mean they had better outcomes when compared to accutane alone

ooh like that

Chip

carnitine, primrose oil, silymarin, omega3, biotin, zinc

so i should focus on those

those are just the ones that tried with accutane

9:24 PM

have you tried zinc?

I havent

zinc is the most researched supp for acne

even if im dont have a decicency?

probably not. have you been tested

I did a blood test, idk if that test zinc

usually it wont show as a deficiency on the blood results, itll have to be pretty bad for that. the first studies with zinc, the acne patients were just lower than normal ppl (edited)

9:26 PM

doesnt mean theyre deficient

would u reccomend that i try it ?

if you can get it from foods like fish etc, or ask your doctor what they think

yeah i could just focus on getting more fish and meat into my diet

zinc would be my go to supplement, just because theres a decent amount of research compared to others

Remi

yeah i could just focus on getting more fish and meat into my diet

yep

9:28 PM

do norwegian people eat raw fish

Chip

do norwegian people eat raw fish

it depends

9:29 PM

its like up north, they dry it out and eat it like that

9:29 PM

but raw fish isn't normal, no

ah yeah

but do u have a list of foods i should focus on and foods i should cut out?

Remi

but do u have a list of foods i should focus on and foods i should cut out?

potential triggers: chocolate/cocoa, sunflower seeds, skim milk, egg whites, legumes/tree nuts e.g. peanuts, soy, gluten e.g. wheat, seed oils e.g. rapeseed eat instead: fatty fish, fermented raw dairy like goat milk kefir, vegetables, raw sauerkraut, berries, apples, potatoes, white rice, pork, beef, chicken, coconut oil / animal fats for cooking, extra virgin olive oil for salads (edited)

9:36 PM

dont change it overnight

Chip

Should i cut out eggs since i started eating them like 4 days ago and broke out now

9:37 PM

its probably more than them but it can be a reason

Remi

Should i cut out eggs since i started eating them like 4 days ago and broke out now

just finish them if you already have it i guess and see what happens

9:39 PM

or if your family will eat it then just stop

Chip

or if your family will eat it then just stop

yeah they will so ill stop

9:42 PM

I got alot of time on my hands atm so would it be smart making a diet plan where i track nutrientns and try covering most of the good ones?

9:42 PM

so it will be wasier knowing what to eat

Remi

yeah they will so ill stop

also other things which are implicated in acne and will likely take some stress off the body: https://discord.com/channels/1169738819688468501/1210064966259056652 Eat Organic: When possible, choose organic foods to reduce exposure to pesticides, as well as fat soluble toxins. Wash non organic foods properly Avoid Plastic: Especially for food storage and water bottles, chopping boards, to minimize exposure to BPA and phthalates. Do not microwave plastic Filter your water if possible Avoid food additives: https://discord.com/channels/1169738819688468501/1179949494788431872 (edited)

9:44 PM

avoid Non-stick cookware pans

Norway has the cleanest tap water i the world and good environment so that should be a problem, but organi foods should help

yeah just if youre paranoid haha

9:45 PM

microplastics and acne is a thing

9:45 PM

https://discord.com/channels/1169738819688468501/1210064966259056652/1263716602252234814

9:45 PM

2 studies showing associations with microplastics in acne sufferers lol

9:46 PM

it all builds up

9:46 PM

takes years

yeah but thats way to much to keep track with

just avoid toxic stuff and eat nutritious, well sourced, minimally processed foods

9:47 PM

minimise stress

But somethig strange happend

9:47 PM

look

9:48 PM

i was in Demark at a cup rigth, only ate like shit from the local stores. Maby like some watermealon and bananas once in a while that were healthy but the rest was shit, and when i was at that cup i didnt breakout once.

haaha

9:49 PM

usually if youre stress free and getting sunlight it takes heaps of stress off your body

9:49 PM

you can sleep properly

9:50 PM

but all those things a small bits of stress which get incorporated into the body over months and years

yeah i slept so well and wasnt stressend at all

9:50 PM

I kinda dont rlly know how to get the same feeling at home

9:51 PM

like i was with my friends all the time and acne wasnt on my mind 24/7

yeah its annoying

Do u know any apps to keep track of what i eat like my diet?

Remi

Do u know any apps to keep track of what i eat like my diet?

some of those apps #deleted-channel give you the option to track common acne triggers but i dont think its that helpful

9:54 PM

cronometer will let you track everything

9:54 PM

macros, micros, notes

9:55 PM

easiest option is just photos

alr alr

i think taking out the rapeseed oil is a big one haha

So if i get a breakout i check trough my recent food pics and see any triggers?

Chip

i think taking out the rapeseed oil is a big one haha

yeah that one is gone xD

Yo @Chip Thank you so much btw u really gave me the help i needed rigth now, ur a living legend

Remi

So if i get a breakout i check trough my recent food pics and see any triggers?

yeah it takes a lot of data and experimentation though

10:25 PM

some breakouts are just purely immune/stress/sleep related so its not always the food you ate the previous day or something lol

10:25 PM

there could be foods you ate years ago that are affecting you still

10:25 PM

but if its something like eggs causing it, its quite simple

Remi

Yo @Chip Thank you so much btw u really gave me the help i needed rigth now, ur a living legend

haha no worries

10:26 PM

also i forgot to mention. my opinion on accutane is that its like a dietary supplement basically

10:26 PM

its just a really potent form of vitamin A

Yeah but u wouldnt reccomend it for me or?

Remi

Yeah but u wouldnt reccomend it for me or?

i would try other things first personally

10:31 PM

check what ur doctor thinks about zinc

10:31 PM

like accutane is so old

10:31 PM

from the 70s

10:32 PM

you can get sebum reduction effects from other things too

10:32 PM

like pomegranate: https://discord.com/channels/1169738819688468501/1263771806289100810/1263771806289100810

Had anyone ever have this kind of acnea ? It's so annoying and deeply settled. Under daylight it looks even worse. If yes how much for it to go ? :/ It's been around for 2y now

i wouldnt suggest diving in with all of them at once. if you want to use all, the goal would probably be to minimise irritation lol
