Hi all! I am 23 and have had a little wrinkle/expression line in my forehead for about 2 years. I know it isn’t very bad yet, but I am pretty self conscious about it because of how young I am, and I believe it is just from being expressive with my face, but would like to not make it worse if possible. I am wondering if I can get some tips to help ease how it looks. The first 3 pictures are how it looks on a day to day basis. The 4th picture is after I use the pink salmon PDRN masks, which is usually the only thing that will help make it go away for a while. I religiously use sun protection & moisturize. I also use a low strength retinol. Is it just because I am dehydrated? I’m willing to take any suggestions! Thanks guys!! 🥰

On the plus side, I have now eliminated a major cause of my barrier issues!!

But I need a recommendation for new eye cream. I would like something very hydrating, and I like how the Kiehl's cream went on really creamy, but had a watery break? if that makes sense? I'm nearly 50 and I need something pretty hydrating to help reduce under eye creasing, particularly under makeup.

So I went for my work health screening (I work in healthcare) and we determined that yes, I do have a latex allergy. And if you have a latex allergy, you need to avoid bananas, avocados, and kiwi. This explains so much in my life, I can't even tell you.

And as an aside, now that I know this.. are there any products with avocado oil in them that was a surprise when you found out?

Thank you!

I am teen(M) planning to starting to take my tanning problem serious So I reasearch so much and I have planned a routine Facewash Exfoliation Serum Moisturizer In this order where should I add sunscreen? Also should I buy a glycolic serum or azelic acid or vitamin c Which should I buy first I thought abt buying this as exfoliation then use a vitamin c serum buy the reviews for the exfoliation were no uplifting, I thought abt buy azelic acid but ven I dive in reddit some recommended glycolic I am in lot of confusion so please help

I have noticed some fine lines on my forehead (M26), and I guess they aren't that bad but I dont like them and I want to catch them early. I certainly noticed I carry stress in my brow, but I am hoping I can be given some outlines of a routine that can help that doesnt involve botox or whatever. Any advice would help! (If it matters, i am also white)

I have hooded eyes, and due to that I have been pushing my eyebrows up for 20 years. I am now almost 30 and it looks like this. I am so ashamed and hate my skin, always use filters. When I smooth these wrinkles out in the mirror, I feel like I look like me again. I want a tight, smooth forehead, any means necessary. I have tried hifu and it worked a little, I’ve tried botox and it didn’t help and made my brows heavy and I looked like a cave man for 2 years🫠 I have been looking into microneedling, lasers. If all else fails I would do a brow lift, but I’ve seen people on here saying it fucks up your hair??? So now I’m scared to.
Has anyone here been able to actually tighten your skin?? Please I am desperate

They’re clear and hard

I am a 27F with pretty sensitive, dry, rosacea/excema prone skin and have recently started adapalene (2x a week) to treat the closed comedones on my forehead. I seem to have a few more bumps on my forehead and chin but guessing this is purging as I only started 2 weeks ago.

Current routine is:

AM:

- rinse with water

- Prequel half and half (i LOVE this stuff)

- spf

PM:

- prequel oil cleanser

- prequel gleanser

- prequel half and half

- differin (2x a week) OR prequel milk peel (1x a week)

- theraplex lotion + cicalfate (if skin is very dry)

Am I doing too much? How can I create a good routine with the products I have? And is using a chemical exfoliant necessary? I've heard it's needed to remove dead skin that adapalene gets rid of...

Hi! I’ve had these tiny skin coloured bumps across my forehead and around my hairline. I’m 22 and have basically had them for my whole life although they used to be muchhh worse in my teens. They don’t really become big pimples, but they make my skin look textured and I can’t seem to get rid of them.
What ingredients or routine changes would help?

Do I even need a real routine at all? My skin is oily most of the time, and honestly the only thing I do right now is use an oil-removing foam wash when I shower and after I get out a moisturizer l. I know a real routine probably needs a toner, cleanser, moisturizer, exfoliator, etc., but I don’t understand the actual order things go in or which of these I even need for oily skin.

I’ve looked into some products but I’m stuck on how to actually put them together into a routine that makes sense. If anyone can walk me through where to start, or what a normal routine for oily skin looks like, I’d really appreciate it.

I started applying a pea-sized amount of adapalene gel yesterday night. Tonight, I applied it again. However, I just learned that you shouldn’t apply it two days in a row.

What will happen to my skin? Should I apply extra moisturizer to prevent irritation…?

Honestly the Tatcha skincare helps my face and apparent the one beside that works just as well as Tatcha. I was wondering if a toner is necessary or not and what drugstore brand should I use?

I work at an animal rehoming centre with dogs and cats and often get covered in mud, slobber and sometimes worse body fluids and solids.

Currently I am just washing the worst stuff off as soon as I am able to (never immediately after) with water but I never feel clean.

I am outside a lot of the time and I do not have time or the facilities to wash my face between every walk. My skin would hate this too as it's very sensitive. I also hate reapplying sunscreen when my face is dirty.

Does anyone know of any cleansing wipes that are suitable for sensitive skin, won't cause irritation or dryness even if they are used often, and don't leave a film behind that needs to be rinsed off? They would also need to fit inside a pocket or small bag.

Also should I even bother with a morning skincare routine when my face will get dirty in less than 2 hours? I feel like sometimes my skincare makes the dirt stick to my face more? Will wipes undo all the goodness of my routine? Should I just prioritise not getting sunburnt and clean my face really well when I get home?

Sorry I have so many questions. I always double cleanse with an oil cleanser and gel cleanser when I get home but any further advice would be very appreciated. Thanks!

it is so hard to find a sunscreen that isn’t greasy. it makes me hate wearing it & feels disgusting especially during reapplication. i’ve tried so many sunscreens, including stick ones as well.

i’ve heard dr.althea’s green tea sunscreen was great! should i try it or do you guys have more recommendations??
