The only things that work against acne are retinoids

Yes cleansers are good for aiding but virtually all cosmetic skincare is useless for acne if not paired with retinoid medication

To adress what others have said: while eating 'clean" helps gut health and yadda yadda, it will not impact your skin THAT much, it will not clear up your acne, as food doesn't control our oil production but hormones do.

That's why a lot of women have breakouts during/before period, that's when our oil production skyrockets. And most adult men don't have acne because their hormones don't change the same way ours do, so they can eat like shit and they won't have painful cystic acne from it.

god-tier japanese brands that have saved my skin: gyokujun (affordable) and curel (more expensive)

i 100% recommend the blue line from pyunkang yul. i have extremely sensitive skin prone to cystic acne and hyperpigmentation and that line (in addition to the skin 1004 centella line) has been the best for my skin. PKY blue line products have no fragrances and are very gentle and i think you’d benefit. plus super cheap (around $8-10USD for their products which is much cheaper than popular kbeauty brands)

If you can afford it, I’ve had a good experience with products from Avene. On the more affordable side, you really can’t go wrong with Vanicream.

Sun tanning. Just get the normal recommended amount of sun and that’s it. Pale is beautiful.

I look better tan and it drives me insane that it's so bad for your skin. I also look extra stupid in big hats. Hate being safe!!!

Most tiktok ones. Legging legs,strawberry legs,neck wrinkles and canthal tilt have all come about months apart. Just people calling kids ugly to sell them products. :(

Hiding cupid’s bows with lip liner

I was guilty of doing that as a teen. With time I just embraced my cupid's bow.

LA Looks gel. It's less than $5 and does pretty good in humidity. For type 3 hair people go with hold level #10 or the blue one.

Also, look into products with less humectants so they don't draw the water from the air into your hair.

I tried quitting coffee once and the very next day I got 3 hours of sleep so I was right in front of of the keurig again and ever since.

>>21676
Ever since I have thought of quitting coffee I have started to drink it more …maybe its the exams or I have tricked myself into something …maybe I should just get non stimulating adhd meds

>>21680
The real solution is a consistent sleep schedule but that's like the one thing almost no one can do without significant discipline. I also heard working out makes you more energetic but I'm too tired to exercise so it's a vicious cycle.

>>21681
I like exercising and coffee helps me do it…I can work on the sleep thing ig

I googled convict condition routine handstand but didn't really find anything. I'm making progress, but I think I'm limited by strength.

>>21709
Its a book called Convict Conditioning by Paul Wade. It gives you a progression plan to do handstand pushups, but since you just want to do handstands I guess it helps too. It discusses how to develop balance so that you can do them away from a wall and eventually do free handstand push ups. If strength is a problem you could always do pike pushups to get the feel of manipulating your weight through you shoulders and triceps

>>21716
I definitely need to work on balance, I will check it out. Thanks.

I started raised pushups today. I'm going to do as many sets of 5 as I can 3x a week.

Took a break and lost all my strength so I'm starting over on handstands again.

yes just grow your real nails out

>>21968
you gotta file them down over the top part to apply. obviously doing this is bad for your nails

Yeah but it's not like you can't grow your nails out again.

Yes, the damage doesn't go away until you grow your nails out

>>21998
i understand where you're coming from, nona. it really does feel that way when you put it in that light

>>21995
This is not true. I'm into fat women, because they are soft and warm. :3

>>21995
>Men rape you twice as fast as they normally would when you are fat
Wait, really? I was at my heaviest last year and lost 20kg, but gained like 9 back this year. Was really struggling to find motivation because I'll see shit about men being abusive or preying on women and my mind goes "Why would I want to lose weight and become pretty then, that'd only make me an easier target" so I forgo my diet again, even though I do want to lose weight. But if what you say is true then maybe I should, just so I don't look like someone they can take advantage of, or something, I don't know.

>>22001
It may be somewhat true. Abusers go for the vulnerable, which being fat is often a sign of. (lack of confidence, neuroticism, trauma, etc) Girls who were abused are both likelier to become fat and get abused again.

I am but it's not so bad, I've recently been losing some weight too so I'm even less fat but it's never been bad enough that it affects my movement or anything like that. It's not too hard to hide the belly, either.

I read something a long time ago that suggested adjusting your diet to your blood type, or region. I've noticed with all the ex vegan testimonies I have seen, they are usually white or asian people. Brown people in the tropics can live on fruits and veggies without claiming to be malnourished or sick from it for some reason, but I still would never consider a child to be vegan due to people harming their health.

>>22155
what's the harm,

people calling you queer at the local monster truck event?

is your favorite publically traded pharmaceutical company losing stock price because healthy people would mean less potential customers?

We'll all be living in caves after everything is outlawed, but then you can be sure that living in caves will soon be banned in order to protect endangered bats.

>>22157
Living outside is already illegal because all the land is claimed by the rich and their corporations. They're selling off the state parks to the techbro billionaires as we speak.

The boxcars won't even be needed because Americans are so enslaved now that Americans will drive themselves to the concentration camps.

>Autism is caused by various poisons in the food and environment as well as giving babies 30 vaccines by the time they are 2, God fucking damn

God you're retarded.

I can't believe this glowie moid shit crossed over from that fucking place. No one wants to admit they have shitty genetics and don't screen for defects and then leave it up to god to sort it out after going to every length to ruin their overall health and fertility. I bet most of these parents don't even breast feed or shook the kid cause it cried and are suprised it won't look at them anymore.

>>20919
>No one wants to admit they have shitty genetics
sometimes i wonder if they believe that technology will save them and 'clean up' their shitty genes and all they are doing is holding out until technology has caught up to the place that they can pretend they have always been very healthy and well-maintained. i had average genes and after many years of living healthy and mindfully i have improved my genes. i guess most people don't know this is possible.

>after going to every length to ruin their overall health and fertility.
i just realized i have never once in my entire life heard anyone discuss the topic of maintaining fertility. while still being downstream from health, it is a topic worth discussing. legend states fruitarian women have very light and easily endurable periods because their overall regeneration is so healthy that there is hardly any blood involved.

>I bet most of these parents don't even breast feed or shook the kid cause it cried and are suprised it won't look at them anymore.
heh 😂 you just described the average parents and the reason most people are so fucked up in a single sentence, i love it.

I think we as a society should euthenize all the children. This world is not a good place for children whatsoever and they are better off dead before they reach the age of accountability and risk going to Hell.

Imo, thin and curvy is ideal (as in mostly narrow but with wider hips). Unfortunately I'm not curvy, I'm more rectangular, I have to stay thin or else I look bad.

thin and flat but with nice waist, just extremely small sick looking

I wish i was tall I seethe every time somebody brings up how short I am i hate it so much. I dont care what body type I just wish I was tall so I could look at people beneath me the way talls look at me now. They mess around with me too saying shit about how theyre letting middle schoolers in wherever I am and asking if i lost my parents. fucking talls should turn short for a day to know what its like. In high school they used to just pick me up just to mess with me. I hate all talls.

I’m happy with my general body shape but sometimes I wish I was petite. I also wish my tits weren’t as saggy.

I have fattened breasts from eating so much crock pot roast beef. I look like someone literally stuffed me.
