they don't hurt but i avoid looking at them whenever i can. no idea how i'm going to explain to a guy that manages to see me naked why i have cuts on my legs. i hope the tumblr pedo who groomed me into self harm for his fetish while i was depressed, who trooned out a few years later is rotting in hell right now.

I'm kinda okay with them. My boyfriend also has a bunch of scars too (far deeper than mine) and he's also okay with them. We don't really hide them anymore, it's just. Okay. We don't particularly hate them. I don't know if this is the advice you want. I go outside without hiding my scars the same way I go outside without hiding my unshaved legs. It's just that with time you kind of realise that people don't really look at you, and if they do it and express negative sentiment towards you then they're pretty weird for taking a bunch of healed scars (and leg hair on women) so seriously.

>>19913
has anyone said anything about it?
im worried friends & family will think of me differently for it

I cover them with clothes easily but I'd be sad to get with a man and have him be disgusted by my scars when we get intimate. Someday I'll stop giving a fuck but I have pretty much accepted that no one will find me desirable.

Familly has said stuff when they first found out I cut when I was a teenager. They were unsupportive and it was awful. Bf's familly was supportive from what he told me and no one has mentioned his scars to him even though his are deeper/more noticeable. Though since he's a man his experience with it is probably vastly different. Strangers do not speak about them to me, but I've had one time with my physical therapist where she asked me if I was attacked by a bear or something (she wasn't being mean to me, she's actually great) but she noticed it made me a bit uncomfortable (I don't think she realised it was self harm scars) and dropped the topic pretty fast. I've gone to the beach and pool with those scars visible. After a few years with them it starts to become "okay". They're not fresh anyway, and they'll probably stay forever but it's okay. A lot of people have scars/weird stuff on their body and we rarely notice it ourselves. I hope my post could help.

Nobody is trying to convince you nona we can believe different things. OP asked about people who had plastic surgery, not people who do face yoga kek

>>19822
I'm only expressing my amazement. It is very foreign to me, not good, not bad, just foreign.

>>19821
anastasiabeautyfascia has a youtube playlist on nose massage techniques

i don't know about the fracture, maybe ask her on social media or ask another professional about it before you do anything

Muh nose sucks

Don't jump down my throat, but I'm against cosmetic plastic surgery in general because I don't think women should have to go under the knife just to feel good about themselves. Look at all the ugly wretched men out there who don't feel an iota of shame about how they look, then look at the women next to them who look fine but hate themselves for some reason. For example, >>19826 , there's nothing wrong here. I don't know what mirrors you're looking into.

Ask yourselves:
>Who is making me feel bad about how I look?
>Would I be as harsh on one of my friends with similar features?
>Where do I stop? What features? What age?
>Why do plastic surgery results seem to end up looking just one way? As in, why don't you see rhinoplasties offering wider noses, or ones offering to emphasize a dorsal hump?

I'm not controlling or shaming anyone, I just think you all have worth far beyond what you look like. And you can spend that money on a fun vacation or an awesome hobby instead.

I no longer fake tan but when I did, the only brand that worked for me was MineTan because they were the only brand that sold cool toned self tanners for very pale skin that stayed quite light. I'm very pale and cool toned naturally and everything else, no matter how good the quality and non-orange, still looked unnatural on me. Maybe cool toned tanners are more common now idk.

>>19752
why? It's perfectly safe at the right quantity

This shit is super light, and the ingredients are quite simple. I highly recommend it if you have sensitive skin and have reacted to avebenzone poorly before.

How many times a day do you wash your face? When I was a teen with super oily skin and acne I used to wash it 3 times: after wakin up, before lunch and before bed. Now My skin texture is different but I still feel the need to wash it and apply moisturizer 2-3 times because it looks like shit if it's not fresh clean.

>>19904
Three times a day seems excessive. I wash my face once a day (at night in the shower).

>>19904
My skin is still oily and I'm past the age of 25. I wash my face twice a day, in the morning and before I go to bed

op here, just bought the Wild deodorant that comes with a case and 3 different scents, will post a review once it arrives. Pretty expensive but i got a discount code that gives 50% off, let me know if you want me to post it.

I use bar shampoo. It's okay? It takes some getting used to and it's a little less convenient than bottled shampoo because it doesn't spread at easily, even if it lathers up between the hands. I also tried a crystal deodorant stick, hated it. It only applies on wet skin so I brought it with me in the bathroom to apply after showering but I kept dropping it on the bathroom floor so it eventually broke. So I'm back to regular deo. I don't use low/zero waste make-up, I buy little make-up and use everything up so I feel like I don't have to go low/zero waste on top of that honestly.

Yes! I've been using this brand of deodorant and I'm pretty happy about the format (cardboard tube) and the efficiency of the product. I want to try the coconut one. I've also been using solid shampoo for over 2 years and I'm also satisfyed with the results because my hair stays clean for 4-5 days, also I never forget to do the ACV rinse, which is a cheaper and more enviromentally friendly option than conventional synthetic hair masks. If my hair needs a bit more of softness I use olive oil, which my family buys in gallons, so it's another aspect where I reduce packaging waste. When it comes to face care I've been switching between conventional face cleaners in mousse/cream format and solid ones. I'm currently expecting to recieve a couple of organic solid soaps from the brand Clémence & Vivien, one from the baby line and one with active carbon, they look promising. As for makeup I barely have any but it's mostly lip pencils and eye pencils, another format that reduces the use of plastic. I have a lipbalm with the same format of the deodorant I posted and it's very practical as well. Instead of buying hand cream I put a bit of body lotion in a tiny metal box that actually contained handcream that I finished off and mixe it with rosehip oil to make it more nutritive. Solid non-perfume hand soap is something I buy constantly because I have pets at home and I wash my hands constantly, I recommend the Carrefour Bio one, it's cheap, decent and doesn't aggravate my seasonal dermatitis. I feel like such a granny talking about all of this but I actually enjoy looking at soaps and stuff.

Gaining weight is the easiest but I’ve also heard doing weight training that targets the chest and pecs makes the breasts perkier which might help. You might also hit a second/final growth spurt randomly as you pass through young adulthood. I’m almost 30 and in the last year or so my breasts look larger (this might also be due to weight loss in my midsection which accentuates everything else, idk)

Also look into fenugreek supplements

>>19456
get pregnant. Thats what breasts were made for.

>>19456
unironically: spironolactone. you can get it prescribed for hormonal acne or buy it online
it made my boobs grow 4 cups BUT i have pcos and the women in my family already have big boobs. my daily dose is 200mg

there is no healthy way to do it that doesnt create a crisis in your life. You need to get an acute hormonal imbalance. Your options are:
get fatter
get on birth control
get pregnant
get pcos

honestly its just a better play to get a bigger ass, you can do that just by exercising and it does kinda the same thing

I have a boyshort style bikini set that I got for that reason, but the legs roll up anyway. If I need to hide it, I shave and apply anti-inflammatory stuff like witch hazel or tea tree cream.

How do yall get a smooth cooch with nair? I tried it once but it only removed some of my hair. I ended up going in with a razor after to get rid of some patches. But then it ended up burning like hell.

can i get a laser removal of just the hair on my labia? it's really annoying and uncomfortable but i don't want to be fully bald, i'd rather keep some on top. will i get weird looks if i ask for that?

>>3508
I epilate it. All of it.

After the first 2 times it doesn’t feel as excruciating and it lasts a long time, is not messy like waxing, I get no ingrowns or keratosis pilaris, and save for some redness a few minutes after, my kitty looks baby smooth.

Also, after doing it for all these years, it damaged the follicles enough that it grows very sparse now. Even if I let it grow, it still looks bald unless you get really close to it.

If you can stand pain, that’s the best choice imo.

>>19799
putting an epilator on your cooch is insane.

Yeah I kept saying videos about it on my fyp and YouTube shorts and tbh I think it's placebo effects or just something that limits your creativity.. also are those places wayyyy too expensive for the services they offer, even consider they lay out a bunch of colored towels on your shoulders in front of a mirror and talk you into picking a side. I've seen the results of some of these and I was just left utterly shocked.
Yeah, maybe some people look better in certain tones and colors but it certainly doesn't apply to the majority of us. It feels like such a scam

>>19707
I remember this from the 90s/00s. It's just another rehashed trend

>>19663
light blue eyes, white with olive undertones, brown eyebrows with darker brown hair, streaks of blonde due to dye fading.. i have the blobfish phenotype

Honestly, shit borders on astrology. But it has some merits: I had never really wondered what color suited me best, I just used to pick whatever I liked.

>>19574
probably. i think that just being active improves the fat distribution in your face and makes you look better

>>19574
This is photoshop, make-up, lighting and plastic surgery.
>>19577
>being active improves the fat distribution in your face and makes you look better
Apparently, lifting (strength training) specifically does that.

I am doing guasha and girl, I see the result! My jawline is more defined. I’ve been doing that since this summer!! It also help with your facial muscle! Do it!!

>>19574
>maybe if I look in the mirror and make funny faces for 15 minutes every morning, I'll change my facial bone structure
nona, no… that's not how genetics works. the closest you'll ever get to actually changing the shape of your bones without the use of plastic surgery is several years of weightlifting and adherence to a diet that is conducive to testosterone production. i'm not saying "take troonpills", but rather, "eat lots of red meat and dairy and work out 3x a week".

>>19574

You mean using a gua sha ?

Drink juice or milk with meals. I started drinking lattes instead of black coffee which seems small but it's still an extra 150 calories a day. Don't be afraid of sugar.

>>18500
Hey OP how do you be skinny and underweight ? I have reverse problem

For me, I am pretty curvy, like hourglass shape with some chub on my belly and a muffin top. I have always been like this so could be genetics. But I was taught to eat everything off my plate as a kid so I tend to overeat and eat large portions. I eat carbs and meat and veggies and fruit, not really anything bad like ice cream or chips but I do have it on special occasions. I don’t exercise, go for a walk occasionally

I’d like to be svelte and ballerina sized.

>>19126

when i was underweight, id eat one large meal in the middle of the day, and maybe half of a meal at dinner time. i dont recommend skipping breakfast but i didnt really eat it at the time.

Buy a pint of ice cream and put it in the fridge overnight and then drink it in the morning

idk what your issue with muscle is. building a little bit of muscle helps you gain weight and get curvy without getting sick from fast food. and muscle weighs more per volume so you can gain weight quicker. you're not going to look like a roidpig if you do a few squats and lunges.
hope this helps xx
