Astro Remediation: Skin Conditions

Ever wonder if you can identify which aspects and placements in your natal chart can indicate skin conditions? Well, in Vedic Astrology, I can do this for you as well as customize a remediation plan for your personal road to recovery.

This is based on Ancient Astrology and Auyrvedic Healing. I struggled with acne as well as back acne for most of my good years. Nothing ever worked but then I tried the Eastern Medicine approach and implemented my knowledge of Astrology to help create a regimine for myself. It's truly magical what Astrology can reveal to us and even remedy for us. Everything can be alchemized as long as you have the tools and knowledge in front of you.

So, message me if you're interested in a consult and Remediation plan, personalized for you!

In Vedic astrology, skin conditions can be assessed by analyzing various placements, signs, and aspects in a natal chart. The primary houses and planets to consider are the 1st house (self, physical body), 6th house (health, diseases), and the ascendant (physical appearance, constitution). The Moon, Mars, and Saturn are also important planets to consider when evaluating skin health.

Here are some possible aspects and placements that may indicate skin conditions, along with potential remediation measures:

Facial acne, cystic acne, back acne, and body acne:

Mars or Saturn in the 1st house or 6th house, especially in water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)

Moon afflicted by Mars or Saturn, particularly in the 1st, 6th, or 8th house

Ascendant or 6th house lord afflicted by Mars or Saturn

Rahu or Ketu in the 1st or 6th house

Remediation:

Wear a red coral or bloodstone gemstone to pacify Mars

Chant the Gayatri mantra or the Maha Mrityunjaya mantra for spiritual healing

Practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation, yoga, or pranayama

Maintain a clean, healthy diet and avoid oily, spicy, or processed foods

Psoriasis and other autoimmune skin disorders:

Moon afflicted by Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu, particularly in the 1st, 6th, or 8th house

Saturn in the 1st house or 6th house, especially in fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)

6th house lord in the 8th house or 8th house lord in the 6th house

Weak or afflicted Sun in the chart

Remediation:

Wear a moonstone or pearl to strengthen the Moon

Chant the Mahamrityunjaya mantra or the Surya mantra for healing

Practice stress-reducing techniques and maintain a regular sleep schedule

Follow a sattvic diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains

Eczema and other inflammatory skin conditions:

Pitta (fire) dominant constitution, with a strong presence of Mars, Sun, or Ketu in the chart

Mars or Ketu in the 1st house or 6th house, especially in fire signs

Ascendant or 6th house lord afflicted by Mars or Ketu

Moon afflicted by Mars or Sun, particularly in the 1st, 6th, or 8th house

Remediation:

Wear a moonstone or pearl to balance the Moon and reduce Pitta

Chant the Shiva mantra or the Durga mantra for spiritual healing

Practice cooling pranayama techniques like Sheetali or Sheetkari

Follow a Pitta-pacifying diet, avoiding spicy, sour, and fermented foods

Fungal skin infections:

Kapha (water and earth) dominant constitution, with a strong presence of Moon, Venus, or Jupiter in the chart

Moon or Venus in the 1st house or 6th house, especially in water or earth signs

Ascendant or 6th house lord afflicted by Moon or Venus

Weak or afflicted Mars in the chart

Remediation:

Wear a red coral or bloodstone to strengthen Mars and reduce Kapha

Chant the Hanuman Chalisa or the Durga mantra for spiritual healing

Practice invigorating pranayama techniques like Bhastrika or Kapalbhati

Follow a Kapha-pacifying diet, avoiding cold, heavy, and oily foods

It's important to note that these are general guidelines. I will not be revealing every remediation or chart indication in this post as there are a lot more nuances that go into harsher conditions, such as ones developed due to issues such as auto immune diseases. Additionally, while astrological remedies can be helpful, it is always advisable to consult with a qualified healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment of any skin condition.

square one

pairing: leon kennedy x gender neutral reader

word count: 1.6K

tags/warnings: fluff, domestic fluff, some angst, leon's dealing with some insecurities (acne) :(

summary: leon's always struggled with acne. a recent flareup brings up more than he bargained for.

notes: think i saw a post about the texture of leon's skin in the re4r, as well as a headcannon that he sometimes picks at his skin and idk, just felt compelled to write this. i struggled (still do) with hyperpigmentation from acne, so this was low-key self-indulgent (and me projecting, sorry leon 😭) so enjoy(?) the fruits of that! one more exam and i'll be active again (in between celebrating any chance that i get that exams are over) hope you enjoy! :)

He feels like a teenager again.

Full of angst and riddled with insecurity. There’s so much curiosity in his eyes, fingers gingerly grazing against the scarlet surface of his cheek with inflamed pimples. Leon thought he outgrew this. Despite the occasional picking at his skin when submerged in the anxieties that live rent free in his mind, his skin remained relatively calm rain or shine. It’s worst was when he was in high school, so awkward and unsure of everything. Redness dotted against his face, he felt like puberty brought out the worst in him, forced him to grow in a body now foreign to him, navigate the unknown territory that were his new feelings. It’s a time that isn’t all that nostalgic for him and when he stands in your shared bathroom, long into his adulthood - 27 years old - staring into his reflection, his life flashes before his eyes. He’s right back where he was. Nerdy and hesitant. 

He feels so small.

“Hey,” your call for his attention is soft, doused in all gentleness you can muster as you quietly observe your partner from the door frame. “You ok? Tea’s getting cold.”

Leon huffs in annoyance, not meaning to but when his eyes catch sight of how inflamed his skin is, it takes him gnawing inside his cheek to stop himself from spiralling. It’s so silly, insignificant even. Leon never really cared much for his appearance as an adult. Reminded fairly neutral in regards to himself, stance never swayed despite those that fell to his feet bewitched by his devastatingly good looks. His stance shifted when you two met. Suddenly, he was a teenager again, but in a good way. Do I smell good? Is my hair ok? Am I overdressed? All these little curiosities combated by the love you embrace him in. He doesn’t become confident - your love is not a fix-all remedy for years of trauma and insecurity. But he becomes more sure of himself, reassured and loved wholly. He picks up his own pieces, slowly but surely. You simply steer him in the right direction. A beautiful thing, a lovely thing.

In spite of this beautiful thing, Leon can get in his own way sometimes. Stares at his reflection too long when he’s been spiralling and simply meets your gaze with a vulnerability reserved only for you. “Skin’s been acting up.”

“Honey,” you approach him cautiously, like he’s made of porcelain and Leon leans into the gentleness without a care in the world. Your hands never make contact with him, knowing any touch might open the floodgates of emotional turmoil that slowly seep into his bloodstream, poisonous and harrowing in nature. "Do you wanna talk about it?"

He grimaces, eyes avoiding yours as he shrinks into himself. “Been a stressful week is all.”

Leon flashes an unconvincing smile, puffing out a beat of laughter that is all but amused. “Guess this is the result of it, huh?”

Your heart sinks. You remember when this came up early in your relationship. You were often seeing each other, whether it was to go out on the town dressed to the nines or lounge around and snack on whatever junk food (of which there was very little in Leon’s apartment) you two could find. He refused to see you, citing long work days and the lack of energy they left him with as his reasons. You respected his wishes, giving him his space and all the time he needed before finding his way back to you. However, you couldn’t ignore the voice at the back of your head, nudging you towards him with pleas of assurance. Reassurance that he was ok and wasn’t deserting you for reasons you could help with.

You bumped into him on his way back from the grocery store.

Against his better judgement, Leon needed to restock his shelves with leafy greens to rid himself quickly of the acne against his cheeks. He knew you were at work, so he took his chance and sped ran through the isles, mask pulled up to his eyes as he simply went about his business. Packing his grocery bags quickly and making big steps towards his car, only to run into you in the parking lot.

He expects you to drop your belongings. Dramatises the whole scene in his head, imagines your face twisting in disgust and murmuring a half-hearted excuse to leave the conversation early to block his number because his insecurities have gotten the best of him and he can’t think any worse of himself than he is now. 

It’s all fiction, the tragic story he paints in his head. Sees you give a small smile, cautious and coy.

“Didn’t expect to see you here,” he muses, the awkwardness of his predicament leaving him with nothing but the desire for the ground to swallow him whole. “Would have dressed up a bit.”

You laugh a bit, easing the pain but Leon still wants to leave regardless, foot pointed away from you with his body slightly turning towards the direction of his car.

You take note of his body language and make the conversation flow as casually as possible. “Yeah, I got off work early and was actually gonna pick up some things to come see you.”

“See me?” 

“Yeah, think it’s to be expected to want to see your partner.” you joke lightheartedly, eying the tension that leaves Leon’s shoulders as they relax back from his ears. 

“That’s sweet of you,” Leon starts. “But, I’ve gotta head back to the office…printer’s jammed.”

“Again?”

It ‘jammed’ last week. Along with some other atrocities that left Leon MIA all last week and this week too. It’s not too long to question, but the distance between you is growing unlike times before. It unsettles you.

“Can’t work that thing to save my life. So, it’s my obligation to fix it.”

“Leon,” you’re seeing through his act, calling for the denouement to the charade Leon orchestrates. He feels sickly doing this - this isn’t what you deserve, he knows that. But, during one of scarce times in his life that he’s self-conscious, is it so horrible to want to be left alone? “You’ve been a bit MIA recently. You sure you’re holding up alright?”

He questions for a moment telling you. Disclosing his recent flare up because he knows it isn’t a bad deal, especially with you who nurtures a safe space for him to call home. And he does, he goes to tell you, but in a desperate attempt for closeness, you step forwards and he’s stepping back and suddenly there’s a deafening silence between the two of you.

“I didn’t mean-”

“It’s ok,” you reassure, time and time again. His heart hurts from the constant push and pull that plagues your relationship. It wasn’t something you had to deal with. “Just talk to me. Please?”

It’s different seeing you like this. Over text, it’s easier (but not impossible) to tap away at the screen and desert his phone, submerging himself in work to fend off any thoughts that attempt to crawl into his brain. But you’re here, right in front of him. Eyes soft and so unbearably honest with your state of being. It tears him up inside. Makes him acknowledge every attempt to distance himself from you and never do it again if the same circumstances arose.

Leon makes the situation right. Approaches you despite the screams at the back of his head and heads back to his apartment with you sitting in the passenger seat, describing the acne flare ups that in spite of the demons he faces on his missions, makes him react like no other. You comfort him as best as possible, listening to every word he says and not bothering with unsolicited advice or shallow comments that won’t help the situation. You simply craft an evening filled with distractions, all his favourite in-home activities whilst showering him with all the affection he’s missed. And when it comes time to wash up and settle into bed, you make light of the situation, giving him one of the Sanrio headbands you had left in his apartment as you two clean up for the night, the space and comfort you give him enough for him to crawl into your arms under the covers and never let go. It’s an act of service, a day, that he’ll never forget. One that allows him to bare himself to you, years later, and let you take the reins because this, on top of the travesties he’s encountered far too often lately, have made him feel like a shell of himself. 

“It’s hard to keep up with everything when you’re so busy, isn’t it?” He nods. “You’ve been working hard, always have. Saving the world isn’t an easy feat, you know?”

He laughs, this time around humoured. “I wouldn’t exactly say that.”

“Well, whatever you do,” he laughs again and you can see him slowly coming back to you. You flash him a smile, a smile that holds timeless tales of your love story and his heart begins to warm. “It’s perfectly normal to get some R&R afterwards. It’s well deserved, especially in your case.”

He simpers, now having worked up the nerve to look into your eyes and in them, sees that dazzle. The same dazzle from your first glance, from your first confession. Even at his lowest, the dazzle remains. Your love, unwavering. There isn’t anything he wouldn’t do for you, all of which he does when he feels like himself again. Showers you in abundance and more because that’s what you deserve and more.

“How about I run us a hot bath? You can tell me all about the printer jamming whilst I wash your hair, yeah?” 

He feels like a teenager again. This time, abundant in all the love he has for you.

badger cereal, anyone?

i let myself have fun and go ham on the designs instead of trying to restrict myself to canon appearances and I honestly have no regrets

shoutout to my beloved pookie bear lightningbug Sparkz for helping me figure out how to make vlad’s ecto acne scars look btw…. his input was crucial to not having vlad’s face look horribly crowded…

the concept here is that they get blasted by some new fenton invention, probably some smaller, handheld version of the ecto-stoppo-power-o-fier or something. either way, they can’t change back and they’re getting weaker so now they’re being forced to work together. danny gets dragged around like a sack of potatoes and vlad has to listen to danny loudly swearing because he does not want to be here

at some point they get stuck in the ghost zone somehow, and now they’ve gotta dodge a ton of shit while they figure out how to remedy this. bonding ensues

how do you live in the end properly?

Hey luv I know most of us are actually confused about on " what is living in the end/ what is living from the end " and people had overcomplicate it by telling that living in the end means we have act physically and emotionally for our desires which actually is not.

Let's says with an example : suppose u are manifesting SP so according to outer world rules u will act like that SP will come with alot of gifts and flowers and all but that's is not the way how living in the end actually works living in the end means thinking from the state " let's say you just want to MANIFEST being rich " from that time you wouldn't worry about " lacking of money" or " how would you pay your bills" because when u just affrim " I AM INFINITELY RICH " it's all done there

Again let's say you want glass skin / clear according when u are in the state of having glass skin you will not just go wash your multiple times a day or you will not go with different remedy products to reduce your acne or finelines what ever there are so that how it works!

it's all done there → there will no problems , → there will no more need For that !!

I know there will be a feeling listening to some sort of subliminals or doing something technique for your desire that's okay do it but when u finish it say it's done you got your Desire and now surrender to it ( and surrender to it doesn't really mean forgetting it )

Don't fought for desire. living in the end is just the STATE THAT YOUR DESIRE ARE FULL FILED and there is all done ! & don't look back to past ' don't look for validation or logic or 3D when u say it's done it is all done. Focus on other things instead of finding validation or logic . Get out of your phone do your journal , go for walk , read a book do anything spend your time with your loveones

Part 2 of Zhongli and Baizhu!

⚠️TW: GRAPHIC DEPICTION OF VOMITING ⚠️

Dear pebble,

Your father is still going through bouts of sickness. Already a trouble maker I see. I’ve tried some remedies, but very few of them work for him. Even then, they wear off effectiveness after a couple uses. I try to be there for him when I can, but that’s not always possible. Luckily, he has many people to support him when I’m unable…people who will support him when I go where you hopefully won’t follow for centuries.

With all my love

Your Baba Baizhu

———

In all of Zhongli’s years, he always heard of a ‘pregnancy glow,’ he’d seen it on so many other carriers. Acne suddenly vanishing, hair becoming thicker, and a new light in their eyes…in all of Zhongli’s years, he never thought he’d be envious of them. Because hunched over his toilet in the middle of the night, a glow was the last word he could think of to describe himself and his predicament.

Yellow vomit splattered against the porcelain with a wretched gag. Just as it had been for the past hour. Everytime Zhongli thought he was done, he’d smell it and start the process all over again. The thought entered that if he held the vomit in, maybe it would go away. So he tried, until his love chimed in, “Dear, you know that won’t work. We’ve been alive long enough to know that.”

Zhongli shirked away, shamefully confessing,“I just want to stop throwing up.”

Baizhu rubbed his lover’s back. “Just let it all out. Holding it in will make it worse.”

Yesterday he was able to keep some chicken broth and lemon tea down. Today, all of it was becoming bile.

In the middle of Zhongli’s session he had a realization,“You need to go to bed. Your illness has been acting up and you need rest more than me.”The doctor knew he was right, he couldn’t miss a day of work, liyue depended on him and his medication, but the ache of seeing the mighty dragon curled in pain was worse in his eyes. “I’ll be fine, I’ve been sick before. And I’ll live.” Zhongli gave a half hearted smile to ease his beloved’s nerves.

Baizhu nodded solemnly. “I’m sorry. I’ll see you in a few hours to help again. And I’ll send Qiqi to tell Hu Tao and inform her of your condition.” Baizhu slowly worked his way off the floor, took his hair tie out, and put up Zhongli’s hair instead. He also grabbed a glass of the counter, filled it with cold water, and set it next to his lover. With a kiss on the forehead, he went to bed. Though sleep was a pitiful word for what he did.

———

In the morning, Zhongli was still in the bathroom.

“Any better love?”

“Not really, I’m going to be a while.” Zhongli sadly stated. “I’ll see you this afternoon snake eyes.”

Baizhu refilled Zhongli’s water. “Very well, see you soon my dear. In the meantime try these.” Baizhu put some ginger hard candies next to Zhongli. With a heavy heart Baizhu went to the pharmacy out front.

Qiqi walked over to Baizhu. “Good morning Mr. Baizhu. Should I get started on deliveries?”

“Yes, and while you’re out, Zhongli has been battling morning sickness. Could you please inform Hu Tao?”

Qiqi dutifully nodded and began chanting. “Of course. Mr. Zhongli is sick, Mr. Zhongli is sick, Mr. Zhongli…” However, she didn’t go to the street. She grabbed a fluffy pillow and a cozy blanket. She went to the bathroom, where Zhongli had been for hours. She went over to the great dragon and put the pillow next to him, and put the blanket over his legs in a makeshift bed, chanting the whole time. She noticed the glass of cold water and grabbed a straw for him. Qiqi held the glass to Zhongli’s face, silently asking him to drink.

Zhongli smiled and took a sip, giving a small chuckle. “Thank you dear girl.”

Baizhu looked on from the doorway, smile on his face, and a heart full of love for that girl. (And a tinge of jealousy that she was better at comforting the sick than him, he took several mental notes.)

———

Later that day, when zhongli was resting in his bed. Qiqi came back, looked at her notebook and saw the note ‘zhongli is sick.’ She grabbed a pillow, blanket, and went to the door. “Qiqi, Zhongli is resting in bed. You gave him a pillow and blanket this morning,” Baizhu said to the girl. “Oh…is he feeling better?”

As soon as those words were said a scrambling was heard through the door, followed by a wretched gag and splatter. Baizhu ran over to the bathroom to find zhongli hunched over the toilet again, and a smell of vomit in the air. Qiqi stood next to Baizhu, and gave the doctor the blanket and pillow. “Thank you Qiqi,” Baizhu said. Taking his place next to the dragon, putting the blanket over him and a pillow to the side. “Could you bring some water with the straw?”

“Of course, bring water for Dr.Baizhu, bring water for Dr.Baizhu, bring water for…”

“I’m sorry snake eyes, I know this is a pain, but those candies only delayed the nausea.”

“That’s ok, it’s my job as a doctor to find what works, and my job as your husband to help you no matter the trouble. Till death to us part,” Baizhu playfully chided while rubbing his back. Zhongli smiled in relief. But right before he could comment back vomit came pouring out again.

Qiqi came back, holding the water, also a pillow and blanket. Baizhu was about to say she already brought those for Zhongli, when Qiqi wrapped the blanket around the doctor and put the pillow under him as a cushion. She held the water to Zhongli’s face, and he took a sip from the straw.

———

2 weeks later Zhongli was working a shift at the funeral parlor. The sickness had largely subsided, and he finally felt like he could work. He and Hu Tao were discussing the latest client when he learned more about how morning sickness works.

“Madam Lon really went all out for her husband’s funeral. But her main requests was calla lily perfume made from her flower garden,” Hu Tao said while spraying the bottle, “It’s a nice strong scent. The flowers must have been well cared for!”

Zhongli only took the briefest of inhales. Not even a full second. But it was enough for him to start feeling breakfast coming up. Dashing to the restroom he just barely makes it to the toilet.

“I’m sorry, I’ll only be a mo-“

Hut Tao rolls up her sleeves, kneels beside the archon, and pulls his hair out of his face. “No worries, do you need me to send for Qiqi?”

Zhongli paused. “I think I’ll be ok. Just give me a few minutes and I’ll be ready to work again.”

Hu Tao nodded. “Alright, but I’m staying here until you feel better.”

Zhongli smiled, grateful for the human girl’s kind heart.

———

“Another letter ssssir?” Changsheng inquired.

Baizhu sat at his desk with pen and quill. “Of course. I want the baby to know how much I love them.”

“I don’t think you’ll know that until they’re born,” Changsheng pointed out. “And I don’t know if it’s possible for me to love them more than I already do. I’d do unspeakable acts to protect pebble.”

“Parents to be ssssure are interesssting.”

Baizhu giggled, “indeed we are. Now do you mind?”

Alcibiades headcanons that nobody asked for. (These are all made up from my brain for fun)

-Never got acne on his face as a teenager, only occasionally on his upper back. It's a gene thing, his parents didn't get acne either.

-if he focuses a lot he can pronounce the Rs. But since he doesn't have to, he mostly doesn't go through the trouble. The more relaxed he is the more heavy his Ls become.

-He's always carrying something to chew on for fresh breath, be it mint, basil or mastic. He likes mastic in general, and chewing it helps him focus when he's working.

-often goes down to peiraius' taverns by himself to eat fish with his friends there, who are mostly seamen and merchants. They are mostly nice people who don't try to flatter him or sleep with him for political reasons and it's refreshing. They also like gambling and Alcibiades loves gambling, but can't really properly indulge in it with high class aristocratic athenian company.

-can actually drive a chariot very well, but has grown too tall and heavy to do it competitively anymore, which makes him a little sad sometimes.

-the persian cook that he has working at his house really likes him and is always trying to feed him as a love language.

-in typical Athenian fashion, he doesn't eat breakfast. Later in life when he's lived in other places, he realises eating breakfast is actually nice.

-sometimes he believes in the gods, and sometimes he doesn't. It comes and goes.

-his house is full of rugs everywhere. How many rugs does he own.

-his house in Athens isn't that big, but it's full of things, and the elaborate murals on the walls make it look completely full.

-he takes steaming hot, lavender scented baths. At least one hetaira has to be included in that ritual, if only for music.

-has a collection of intricate strigils, but only really used a plain old one that curves just right and has grown a perfect edge from use. Not too sharp, not too dull, completely smooth and easy on the skin.

-when he came back to athens from exile he tried his best to buy back any of his old possessions that he could find.

-will eat snails if he has to, but won't choose to eat them if he has a choice. Same for cicadas, but he will occasionally get a craving for them. Used to be his favorite food as a kid.

-he can eat fried squid until he passes out, Socrates jokes they always have to keep an eye on him when there's squid around.

-when he goes to Persia and tries foods with actual sugar in them he has to try extremely hard to eat in moderation. Tissaphernes is always amused by how much Alcibiades loves sugar.

-he likes flute music a lot. He just doesn't like playing it.

-will sing shanties along with the oarsmen while on his ship.

-the ship modification hammock is mostly a joke and for showing off, he doesn't really get to use it.

-he makes sure to get his ship's eyes repainted as often as possible, and makes them as garishly colorful as possible.

-once he moves to thrace he always wears closed boots with fleece inside. His feet get very cold easily and he doesn't like it.

-has some scars that he's very proud of, and some scars that he's tried every single skin remedy he could find to get rid of. The scars he's okay with are mostly from battles.

-you can tell how busy or not busy he is by wether or not he bothers to complain about the humidity messing up his hair. When he's actually busy he usually just uses a bunch more oil than usual and ignores it.

-socrates had to shame him into cutting his hair for mourning when Pericles died. He really didn't want to cut his hair.

-he's almost always wearing makeup, usually just kohl for everyday things, and more fancy stuff for symposia and special occasions. When he got older, like after 40, he started using more and more kohl to hide the small wrinkles that had started forming around his eyes.

[isabelleadjani]

sorry if this comes off as weird, but I was wondering if you have a skincare routine? it's just that ur skin is so flawless and dewy it looks very nice 🫣 regardless you are very handsome u remind me of a vampire <3

hiii, no worries it’s not weird at all!! and thank you for the compliments honestly you’re saurrrr sweet 🫶🏻 anyways yeah i have a skincare routine which i can and will let you know but i will need to preface and disclaim by saying that i have a really finicky skin type, because it’s both dry and acne prone and also just extremely sensitive. it’s always been this way but i used to have very bad cystic acne in my early 20s and went on a long accutane course to try to remedy that which mostly worked but also left my skin just even more sensitive than it already was, so i’ve trialed and errored my way to a skincare routine that is mainly oriented around trying to keep my skin as calm as possible, especially because i’m also extremely pale and prone to redness so any tiny reaction will show up instantly on my face as well as be painful and itchy lol…. i also do wear a thin layer of a green colour correcting sunscreen in most of the pics i post to counteract the redness, my skin is def not as even without it, even though i will say at this point it is in probably the calmest and most healthy state it ever has been. so, all that to say, my skincare routine is tailored to my particular skin’s condition and so if you have a different skin type/condition, the products i use might not be particularly effective for your skin’s health.

so, the cleansers i use are the kose speedy cleansing oil (pink packaging) whenever i’ve worn makeup, as well as the isntree yam root cleanser because it’s extremely gentle and never leaves my skin feeling dehydrated or reactive. i don’t usually use cleanser in the morning, but rather gently wash with just water and a damp cotton pad, which helps with exfoliation since i can’t use any chemical exfoliants. i use hypochlorous acid in the evening after cleansing to minimize bacteria that might lead to inflammation and breakouts.

there are some different hydrating toners i use depending on which is cheapest when i need to restock basically, and those are the kaine kombucha toner, the numbuzin no1 toner, and the tia’m vita b5 toner. these are critical to my routine because i’m so dry and dehydrated so they help keep that in check as well as contribute to calming my skin. a toner isn’t necessarily essential for a skincare routine, it really depends on your skin. i also recently started using the haru haru wonder rice probiotics essence after toner, which has been so helpful in keeping my skin barrier strong and my skin thoroughly moisturized in the winter cold, it’s honestly been kind of a miracle product for me. i use the skin 1004 probio-cica serum as well, mainly in the morning when i’m not using the essence, since they’re both focused on barrier healing, postbiotics and moisture. and then every other evening i use the beauty of joseon revive eye serum with retinaldehyde and ginseng as a serum on my whole face because i am trying to incorporate a retinoid in my routine to help keep the acne at bay which keeps wanting to pop back up.

for moisturizer i use the illiyoon ceramide ato concentrate cream, which is a great value particularly if you get the 500ml jar and is literally the only moisturizer i’ve ever used that doesn’t cause my skin to become tight and painful halfway through the day. after i got off accutane i couldn’t use any chemical sunscreen whatsoever for several years, but for the past couple years i’ve been able to since i repaired my skin over time. so the sunscreens i use are the skin 1004 hyalu-cica sun serum or the scinic super mild sun essence, depending on which is cheapest when i’m restocking.

so as you can see, i have a fairly involved routine but i really try to keep it as simple as i can, it’s just the fact that my skin is really tricky and easily becomes very reactive and uncomfortable. if you have skin with less issues, you likely do not need a routine this involved to keep it healthy though, as long as you figure out what ingredients work well for your particular skin. if you would like to talk further skincare though, never hesitate to send another ask 🫶🏻

Hormonal Havoc

Read here or on AO3! - ⚠️ Body Image Issues/Birth Control Discussion/Mpreg ⚠️

Both omegas were pissed, confused about how every pharmaceutical supplier in Korea could be unable to produce their birth control.

Yoongi and Jimin were grateful to have found one that worked so well for them for years and now their doctor was telling them it was no longer available. 

The thought of going through the process of finding a new one could bring them both to tears. 

Jimin’s first run-through with birth control had been torturous, trying shots during his first year of college after meeting his now pack. 

Crying at the drop of a hat, the smallest things sending him into heaving sobs. His anxiety had gone through the roof, sometimes unable to leave their apartment without an alpha by his side for the entire day. 

Yoongi had run the gauntlet of shots and meds, needing birth control to adjust his cycle from presentation in middle school - at least according to his doctor. It took him years to find one that didn’t send him into a depressive spiral or fill his face with hormonal acne.  

Knowing their histories, the doctor suggested hormonal IUD implants instead of trial-and-erroring a bunch of new medications. 

The uncertainty of transitions and side effects between even two meds was enough to convince them both to agree - scheduling their procedures for the following month, giving them both time to safely wean from their current prescription.

The pack was incredibly supportive, knowing Yoongi and Jimin were unhappy with the change and uncertain about what may come from their new implants. They decided to receive them on the same day, entrusting their recovery to their mates. 

Yoongi went first, nearly fainting from the dizzy sensation immediately after the procedure. 

They let him lay in a quiet room with Jin by his side for about fifteen minutes and the discomfort passed. He was shocked at how smoothly it went and waited with their head beta in the waiting room for Jimin and Hobi. 

Unlike their head omega, the initial implant for Jimin was downright painful. The procedure itself was uncomfortable, but the recovery was far worse.

Jimin spent the following three days bound to their nest, aching cramps and dull pain berating his body. Yoongi didn’t leave his side for a second while the betas tried every remedy and pain relief method they could find. 

The alphas hovered around, trying to help in whatever way they could - Namjoon called the doctor two different times to ensure their younger omega was alright while Jungkook and Taehyung offered their comforting scents to try and help ease the pain. 

About a week after their procedure, Jimin was feeling back to normal and Yoongi was much calmer once the other omega was pain-free. 

Both braced for the impending side effects that thankfully never really hit. 

Over the next six months, Yoongi and Jimin were happy with the easy transition compared to their previous experiences. There was occasionally bloating that Yoongi had to deal with during the peak time of his cycle while Jimin dealt with low-grade fevers. 

Around that time, however, is when Yoongi noticed a shift. 

The tracking app on his phone let him know that his quarterly heat cycle was approaching, days out from when he would typically start feeling the searing cramps and desperate arousal that came with an unmedicated heat. 

Buttoning his pants that morning had been a challenge, leaving Yoongi confused. 

He chalked it up to the typical bloating of his heat cycle and potentially a little added weight from his recent shift to working from home. He was able to leave the music repair shop he worked in for a new songwriting job with a small entertainment company.

Knowing that bloating was something he had dealt with before, Yoongi just took his pre-heat medication and found better-fitting pants. He forgot about it by the end of the day, feeling fatigued from his cycle and not necessarily caring all that much about it. 

Jimin’s heat cycle was also approaching as the omegas had synced up early on in the pack bonding process. He was met with the same challenge that morning, however, his issue was not being able to button his pants. 

His favorite jeans weren’t even getting over his ass to reach the point of attempting to button them. 

Between never dealing with cycle-related bloating before and the issue being contained in softer thighs and a rounder ass, Jimin knew it wasn’t a heat symptom. 

Heading straight for the bathroom and grabbing the scale, Jimin found that he was over ten pounds heavier than his normal range - thirteen to be exact. 

And those thirteen pounds apparently stuck right to his lower half with a little more padding on his hips, thighs, and ass. 

Jimin made his way to Yoongi’s office, stopping at the door and running his eyes over the head omega’s body. He noticed similar changes in the other omega, although his could legitimately be heat-related bloating considering that was actually one of Yoongi’s usual side effects. 

A quick conversation led them to realize that it was a side effect, just not a short-lived heat symptom. 

Their weight started to climb as if recognizing it turned up the intensity of their shared issue. 

Yoongi tried to be more mindful of his eating and Jimin never missed a morning run, a standard part of his daily routine. Neither seemed to make a difference. 

One year after receiving their implants had added seventy pounds between them - Jimin gaining thirty while Yoongi packed on an additional ten more than him. 

Their pack noticed their disdain for the unwanted weight, but amongst the five of them, there was a much different perspective. 

The alphas thought their omegas were stunning as their bodies softened over the course of the year, trying to increase the amount of casual compliments toward both of them. 

The betas were outright with their praise, constantly telling Yoongi and Jimin how beautiful they were and that the weight suited both of them. 

Funnily enough, the omegas were able to see the appreciation for their counterpart even if they didn’t feel it toward themselves. 

Jimin thought their head omega looked adorable with his plump belly and chubby cheeks while Yoongi felt that Jimin was gorgeous, every pound adding a deeper curve to the omega’s already sensual body. 

However, there was a sudden shift around Jimin’s birthday. He had spent a late night alone with Namjoon, their head alpha, which the rest of the pack assumed was a very appreciative celebration. 

The pair actually went on a long bike ride along the Han River before returning home to share a bottle of wine on their balcony. 

After a long talk about how beloved the omegas were to the pack, Jimin started to see himself in a different light. 

Jungkook still happily tagged along on Jimin’s morning runs and the omega kept going to the Pilates and yoga classes he enjoyed, but instead of being active in desperate hopes of losing weight, Jimin went because it made him happy.

He started dressing in his typical fashion again, no longer drowning his body in oversized fabric and allowing Taehyung to spoil him with shopping dates as he used to prior to his weight gain. 

Jimin allowed the pack to pamper him, accepting the desserts Jin made and letting Hobi bring him snacks while he was working. 

The physical part of their relationship that had taken a bit of a downslide was re-established; Jimin finally felt confident to let his mates worship his new body instead of hiding it away.

It was surprising to the pack at first that Jimin was the one to embrace it while Yoongi was more hesitant considering the head omega to be one who never focused on appearances whereas Jimin had a rocky history accepting his presentation and all the expectations that came along with being an omega. 

With Yoongi’s more focused approach on his food intake, both omegas hit the fifty-pound mark around the same time. Jimin had caught up on the ten-pound deficit and continued to grow a little faster with the way the head omega was still attempting to diet. 

At that point, Yoongi seemed to realize his major mental block. 

He thought it came from the fact of Jimin gaining less than him from the jump, but now that the number was exactly the same, the omega saw the difference. 

Yoongi would never consider himself an envious person, especially to the point of holding it against Jimin. His omega mate held a significant portion of his heart and nothing could stop him from loving Jimin. 

But at the same time, it was hard to stop comparing himself to the younger omega. 

Somehow, every pound hit Jimin’s body just right. 

The omega’s figure was the definition of the hourglass shape with wide hips, soft thighs, a round yet perky ass, and a cute little belly that led into a trim, cinched waist. 

Yoongi found it hard to believe that Jimin actually gained fifty pounds until he saw the scale for himself. 

His weight, on the other hand, seemed to spread throughout his entire body and left him more pear-shaped if he really had to give it a name. 

Weight went to his hips and thighs but not the same way as Jimin with quite a bit latching onto his belly which felt like it could pass as a pregnancy bump on some bloated days. He used to tease the other omega for his mochi-like cheeks back in college and now his were even chubbier. 

Overall, it was just hard for him to hold that confidence Jimin wanted to spread to him when that was how he saw himself. 

Deciding that the talk with Namjoon helped him, Jimin set up a little date night for their head alpha and head omega minus the bike ride since Yoongi would definitely not enjoy that. 

Jimin spent the evening with the rest of the pack, cuddled up in his nest with Taehyung while he explained why the date was necessary from his eyes. They couldn’t have agreed with him more. 

The next morning after the date, Jimin found himself in Yoongi’s arms who must’ve snuck into the nest after everyone else had fallen asleep. 

The omegas woke up to an empty room, hearing the rest of their pack making a decent amount of noise in the kitchen. 

A smile grew on Jimin’s face when he felt Yoongi’s lips on his mating mark. 

“Feeling better, Yoonie?”

“Yeah, baby, feeling pretty great actually,” Yoongi replied, going quiet for a moment before adding, “Thank you, Jimin.”

Jimin rolled on his back so he could look at the other omega, bringing Yoongi’s hand up to his lips to place a gentle kiss. 

“Anything for you,” Jimin said quietly, his sweet scent filling the room as he genuinely grew a little emotional at the already evident shift in Yoongi’s overall mood. 

Yoongi returned the emotional sentiment, leaning forward for a full kiss. He pulled Jimin into his chest, realizing that he hadn’t allowed himself to hold his omega mate - any of his mates - this close in quite a while. 

Jimin seemed to be making the same realization when he whispered, “I missed you.” 

“I’m sorry,” Yoongi immediately answered, having a bit of guilt for creating a divide over something like his weight. “I missed you too, so much, Min-ah.” 

“Don’t apologize, especially to me. I understand better than anyone,” Jimin responded firmly, following it with a strong kiss. 

The last thing he would do was let Yoongi wallow in a different insecurity. 

They eventually ventured out of their nest - Yoongi taking a long moment to admire Jimin’s soft middle as the omega donned a cropped sweater. 

He wasn’t quite up to that level of confidence yet, not really ever being a cropped anything kind of person no matter how much he weighed, but something about seeing Jimin so proud of his body was finally hitting him with much more appreciation than ever. 

It wasn’t going to change overnight, but both omegas blossomed under the love and care of their pack - especially each other. 

—

Receiving the three-year reminder call, Yoongi thought back to the process and the journey to where they were now. 

Jimin’s weight seemed to plateau, his body adjusting to the weight gain around a year and a half after getting the implant with the final number being fifty-four pounds - maintaining his incredible hourglass shape. 

Yoongi put on a little more throughout the entire three-year period, ending up sixty-five pounds heavier by the day of their appointment. 

Neither omega was looking forward to the removal procedure, Jimin particularly anxious considering his implant experience. 

Thankfully, it went well for Jimin and he did not have to endure more than that. 

After a long discussion, the omegas decided that only Yoongi would be getting his IUD replaced - their head omega having little to no interest in getting pregnant at the moment. 

Truly, Yoongi was beginning to feel that he may never want to carry himself, especially when Jimin was so excited to experience pregnancy. He decided to go one more round with the IUD to take more time before deciding if he wanted more permanent measures. 

Jimin brought it up shyly, telling the pack that his omega was pushing him more and more as the appointment grew closer. He felt like his body was ready, feeling quite maternal as he put it. 

The news was received well, all of them feeling that they were ready to start the process of trying for children - Taehyung, in particular, clinging to Jimin in joy at the suggestion. 

With unexpected success, Jimin fell pregnant during his first unmedicated heat cycle and the entire pack was overjoyed. 

Yoongi was Jimin’s rock, his pillar of support throughout the entire pregnancy.

Both omegas experienced pampering and love from their pack, especially when their weight gain continued for different reasons this time around. 

The hormonal changes for Yoongi hit him right away, the IUD tacking on a quick twenty pounds before mellowing out for quite a while - his belly rounding out a bit more almost seeming to match Jimin’s first and second-trimester bump. 

Jimin became resplendent with pregnancy, widening his hips further and deepening his curves. The omega’s confidence grew in tandem with his body, thankful that his hormones didn’t tear down his well-developed self-love.  

Just as they did before, their pack was overwhelmed with their love and attraction for the omegas. It was established between the five alphas and betas that they may have silently encouraged their omegas to indulge here and there. 

Maybe the early days of the birth control transition were hard and they could have done without the pain, but the entire pack would admit, oddly enough, that they were actually pretty grateful for the havoc of changing hormones.

Injection Therapies: Safe And Effective Path to Wellness

Injection therapy refers to using needles to administer therapeutic substances directly into the body. This can be done for various purposes, including pain relief, inflammation reduction, and tissue regeneration. Injection therapies can be used in conventional and alternative medicine practices and involve various substances, from medications to natural remedies. Some common injection therapies include acupuncture, dry needling, and trigger point injections. These therapies can provide targeted and effective relief for various conditions and are often used in conjunction with other forms of treatment. In this article, we will learn about some common types of injection therapies and their benefits.

Injection Therapies For Health And Wellness

Trigger Point Injections

Trigger point injections are a medical treatment that involves injecting a small amount of anesthetic or medication into trigger points, which are painful areas within muscle tissue. One of the main advantages of triger-point injections is that they can provide immediate relief from muscle pain and tension and improve range of motion and flexibility. This treatment can also help prevent the development of chronic pain and reduce the need for medication use. Trigger point injections are a safe and effective treatment option for many types of musculoskeletal pain. They can be performed in a doctor's office without surgery or hospitalization.

Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy is a treatment that involves injecting an irritant solution into damaged or weakened joints, ligaments, or tendons to stimulate the body's natural healing response. One of the main advantages of prolotherapy is that it is a non-surgical and non-pharmaceutical treatment option for chronic pain and joint instability. It can provide long-lasting pain relief, improve joint function, and avoid the risks and costs associated with surgery or long-term medication use. 

Acupuncture

Acupuncture injection therapy is a technique that combines traditional acupuncture with the injection of therapeutic substances, such as vitamins, minerals, and homeopathic remedies. The injections are typically given at acupuncture points and are believed to enhance the effects of acupuncture by providing a stronger and more targeted therapy. Acupuncture injection therapy can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including pain, inflammation, and muscle spasms. It is an effective and safe alternative to traditional injection therapies and can benefit patients seeking a natural and holistic approach to healthcare.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is a form of injection therapy that involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific points in the body, known as trigger points. These trigger points are areas of muscle or soft tissue that are tender or painful to the touch and are often associated with muscle tension, spasms, or other musculoskeletal problems. Dry needling is believed to work by stimulating the body's natural healing processes, promoting blood flow, and the release of natural pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory substances. It is commonly used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, and sports injuries.

Micro-Needling

Micro-needling is a form of injection therapy that involves using a small handheld device with tiny needles that puncture the skin. These needles create controlled micro-injuries to the skin, stimulating the body's natural healing processes and promoting collagen and elastin production. Micro-needling is commonly used to treat various skin conditions, including acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, stretch marks, and uneven skin texture and tone. It can also enhance the absorption of topical skincare products, such as serums and moisturizers.

The Expertise Behind Professional Facials

Professional facials are backed by the skill and expertise of trained estheticians. They begin with an analysis of your skin, identifying underlying concerns like acne, redness, or dryness. Based on this in-depth understanding, they use products and techniques that address specific issues. This personalized approach ensures effectiveness, something home remedies or over-the-counter treatments often lack.

Additionally, estheticians utilize professional-grade tools and equipment that are not available for at-home use. For example, steamers, ultrasonic devices, or LED light therapy can enhance your skin, speeding up the rejuvenation process. These tools offer results that mirror the level of care only professionals can provide.

Professional Facials Deliver Long-Lasting Results

One of the key benefits of professional facials is the noticeable, lasting impact they have on your skin. From boosted collagen production to improved elasticity, these treatments deeply nourish your skin. A guide on collagen production explains how this vital protein keeps skin looking youthful and firm, something professional facials are designed to promote.

Unlike quick-fix, over-the-counter products, facials work from within, addressing the deeper layers of the skin to deliver long-term benefits. Regularly investing in these treatments can help slow the signs of aging, reduce pigmentation, and keep your skin hydrated.

How Personalized Attention Makes All the Difference

DIY skincare often involves trial and error, where you're left guessing which products or ingredients will work for your skin type. Professional facials eliminate this uncertainty by offering treatments designed with your specific needs in mind. For example, if your skin is oily and acne-prone, the esthetician may use exfoliation techniques to unclog pores, followed by soothing masks to reduce inflammation.

This level of detail ensures you get the most out of your session without fearing irritation or ineffective results, which are common pitfalls of DIY routines. If you're curious about the broader role facials play in maintaining healthy skin, you may want to explore more about how facials play an important role in our healthy skin.

Why DIY Skincare Falls Short

DIY skincare routines often gain popularity because of their cost-effectiveness and accessibility. However, they come with limitations that can't be ignored. For starters, you're relying completely on your own understanding of skincare, which may lead to improper product use. This can result in damage to the skin barrier, dryness, or even breakouts.

Additionally, many DIY recipes include unregulated, natural ingredients that aren't always safe for your skin. Lemon juice, sugar scrubs, or other common homemade remedies can cause irritation, sensitivity, or prolonged damage. The lack of consistency and precision in DIY methods makes it difficult to see any significant improvement, especially for those with chronic skin conditions.

The Self-Care Boost of Professional Facials

Apart from health benefits, professional facials are a treat for your mental well-being. The tranquil environment, soothing music, and massage techniques all contribute to stress relief and relaxation. When you reserve time for a facial, you're not just helping your skin; you're dedicating time to yourself.

This aspect of self-care is often overlooked with DIY routines, where skincare blends into daily chores rather than becoming a moment of peace and renewal.

Conclusion

While DIY skincare routines may offer temporary satisfaction, the expertise, advanced tools, and tailored solutions of professional facials take your results to the next level. They offer a safer, longer-lasting, and more nourishing alternative to the guesswork of at-home treatments. Investing in consistent facials brings you closer to the radiant, healthy skin we all desire.

Make the switch today and see the difference professional facials can make for your skin—and your confidence!
