suncream, zits and wrinkles: rolling skincare thread?

Excuse me, but it's time for me to GET THE LED OUT.

HEY HEY MAAA

heavy metal detox band name called it

Well, a little over a week into night application of Retin A (.025%) and absolutely no undesirable effects! I think one morning my skin might have felt a little different, like it feels after getting some sun, but it could have been my imagination. Probably want to bump up to .05% next time. How long until I get a porcelain complexion?

That's great but just FYI most people who do go through purging don't get that until around week 3. Porcelain complexion around 4-6 months.

:( Just let me pretend I'm special.

I'm mostly surprised that I haven't gotten redness or sensitivity despite not having changed any other aspects of what I do to my face.

Me in 4-6 mos

best movie!
my face is doing ok but i think i chemical burned a little area near my lip because it was flaky this morning

Yeah I sometimes get the lip irritation thing :(

looks like i got scab face but that's better than zits

at least atm it is
please no faces of meth photos

Suddenly got red dots, like tiny broken blood vessels maybe, all round both eyes. They're all over the eyelids as well as under and next to both eyes. I didn't have them at 11am yesterday, and I did when I looked in a mirror at 4pm yesterday. WTF? They're still there this morning. Not painful, and nothing else going on except for a sore throat.

You can get them from any kind of strain that builds up pressure in your head (I don't know the technical term). I've had them from vomiting and coughing for sure.

yep. they should clear up in a couple of days, assuming yr coughing subsides

Are they itchy? Are they under the skin, or swollen spots?

When I vomit, I get black eyes from burst blood vessels. They looked really awful. Last time I vomited, I pressed my hands under my eyes and didn't get the black eyes. I've thought about putting an ice pack over my eyes next time I have to puke, if possible.

Sorry but I loled at "When I vomit, ______" dependent clause.

LOLing at being able to pause and get an icepack prior to puking.

My vomiting episodes have almost exclusively been significant life events and they involve a lot of to-do, e.g., denial, bargaining (actual praying, tho I'm an atheist), whimpering, much more denial, crying, preparing a kneeling towel, cleaning the toilet, black eye abatement, and finally, actually vomiting. It wouldn't be hard to throw an ice pack into the event.

I suppose not in that scenario.

They're not itchy, and not swollen, and they seem to be very slightly faded? Not sure yet. I'll find out when I get off this overnight bus.

Je55e, I'm familiar with denial prior to vomiting!

I get those whenever I have a particularly violent vomiting sesh.

so I am using this really mental woman's homemade face cream for night and it's actually kind of blowing my mind?? her website is TOTALLY CRAZY. It also smells WEIRD. I have no idea what the ingredients are.

dang she sounds shady! glad it's working for you though

what if it's just mayo

It is kind of a light beige color, really sticky consistency, and smells kind of metallic-y. Its very strange. I am sure it's a BLESSED POTION by LOUISE LONGHAIRS. I also bought her wacky shampoo because I heard it's just incredible. I am not that impressed with the shampoo yet.

like, I wouldnt be surprised at all if the shampoo is just johnson and johnson baby shampoo. It kinda smells the same, even.

blood vessel things seem to be fading, so yay.

what if it's just mayo

lololol

it's "wholistic"

lol

Note: [redacted]'s products do not contain or involve the use of any of these Dangerous Ingredients in our products or treatments:

No Pills

Apparently it's not mayo

No Animal or Animal By-Products

No pills, no mayo. We're narrowing it down.

propane & propane accessories

WHERE do LONG HAIRS
ingredients come from and what are our ingredients principals?

EVERY
CULTURE IS DIFFERENT EVERY COUNTRY HAS DIFFERENT LAWS. We keep our
trade secrets a secret. It is alright to do that, we have trust. If you
have allergies, let us know:-)

that smiley face is a little menacing in its context...

sorry, I'm just slowly working my way through this site and every couple seconds finding something special.

It is actually not alright to keep her "trade secrets" a secret if she is defining "trade secrets" as "ingredients."

Sorry "alright"

Yeh, I was wondering!

H2, what led to your using this lady's product?

Now that we've roundly mocked the product and exposed this woman's illegal operation...

Well, it's working, apparently. Even if that means it's replaced H2's soul with a long-haired marketing demon.... Careful, y'all.

lol of COURSE she has a moon cycle widget on her site.

I know, isn't it mental? I was reading a PCOS message board and some of the PCOS-ers were talking about how awesome her shampoo is, and I just had to try it. I went for the skin cream kind of on a whim. GLAD I DID.

The most luxuriant wholistic mayo I've ever put on my face!

can someone in Toronto (ATTN: FINEFINEMUSIC) please go get their hairs done by louise longhairs, I guess she is really mean

http://www.longhairs.com/sites/default/files/CIMG0228b.jpg

also her products are insanely expensive

Wait, she's a mean hair stylist, too? Amazing. What a weirdo!

FFM's regular stylist just moved out of town! Great timing!

omg tempting

don't you want her to yell at you for dying your hair? sounds like a blast, right?

I do need a haircut (was thinking of getting one TODAY) but there is no price list (would've gone to reg stylist before she moved but need to cheap out) and I have to fill out an "about you" form before I can book an appointment! Xp

Hahaha no kidding. My hairstylist used ~organic~ dye so maybe I'll just be gently chastised. Or she will list out how the dye was not actually organic and aren't I glad she's here to tell me the truth??

I have to fill out an "about you" form before I can book an appointment!

Lmao

Mostly innocuous if self involved but:

"Do people try to pressure you into cutting your hair shorter for them or any other reasons? Tell Longhairs all about it... If this is preceeding a naturopathy-only session, list about what average doctor want to try to put you on. instead. : *"
