SKINCARE TOGETHER . BEOMGYU

tw/cw ༝ 0.7k wc, very domestic and fluffy, i say beomgyu has oily skin but obviously idk if that’s true, beomgyu curses like once, lots of kisses mwah!

“i’m home!” beomgyu takes a deep sigh of relief, finished with a longs day of work. he slips off his shoes, carefully setting his bag aside and dropping his keys in the designated bowl.

per usual, your footsteps are light, retreating from the bedroom and quickly making your way over to your boyfriend.

“welcome home, beomie,” you throw your arms around his neck, smiling as you look at him. you worked all morning while he worked all night making it hard to be together in the privacy of your own home. hence, days where he would be home earlier than expected, both of you cherished any time that could be spent.

he gave you a quick peck, his arms slithering around your waist, “had a good day?”

you hummed, fingers twirling around the strands of his brown hair.

“you hungry? i made you somethin’ quick to eat if you want,” pointing at the food on the table. whenever he had a bad day at work, a home meal can always lift his mood.

“i’m good, baby, thank you,” he sighs, “i’ll eat it tomorrow… right now i just wanna get settled into bed with you.”

you smiled, pressing your lips to his. beomgyu relished in the feeling, holding you tight against him. if he had known what the world had in store for him sooner, perhaps he would have chased after you and begun to learn the meaning of what he now knows is true love.

“did you already start getting ready for bed?”

“no,” you shake your head, “i waited for you… i know you like it when we start together.”

beomgyu rushes to shower and change his clothes, coming back into the bathroom to see you placing out the products you’ll be using.

“so… what are we doing today?” he asks, scanning the items while pushing his hair back with a headband.

“same as usual… i just got some more products for your skin type.”

“skin type?” he quips, not even aware of his.

you laugh, patting his cheek, “you have oily skin, beomie. don’t you realize that when you go out your skin looks super shiny despite not doing anything active?”

he furrows his brows, “i just thought that was sweat!”

“no,” you grin, “how could you sweat? you didn’t do anything. that’s why i always give you the blotting paper to use instead of a regular paper towel.”

he stares in disbelief, realizing all the stuff you’ve given him specifically for his skin type, “wow, you’re a lifesaver.”

“i know,” you boast, continuing to lay out the products.

following through with the routine was easy. you showed beomgyu what products to use starting from a mask, the cleanser, a serum, retinol, moisturizer, and acne treatment.

however, leading up to the treatment, beomgyu begins to whine and you turn to him with furrowed brows as you were putting on your moisturizer.

“shit!” he seethes, fanning at his face, “what the hell, y/n?!”

huffing, you finally ask him the issue at hand, “what’s the matter with you?”

“it burns! i placed a little of the acne thing on my pimple right here but now it burns!”

you roll your eyes, “oh, stop whining you big baby,” pushing at your skin once finally done with your routine, “that means it’s working. that’s a common thing to happen, just relax. it’ll go away eventually.”

beomgyu frowns, fanning his face, loudly hoping you’d do something to make it better. of course, you knew him better than anyone, willingly giving him what he wanted.

the warm sensation of your lips pressing against his cheek was far different and far better than the sting of the treatment. he felt healed of all the pain he felt in an instant, grinning from ear to ear.

you roll your eyes at his reaction, “are you happy now, you big baby?”

“very.”

“good,” you smile, booping his nose, “hurry up so we can go to bed.”

“wait…” his hand circles around your wrist as he sits up on the edge of the counter quickly gaining your attention.

“hm?”

he doesn’t say anything but you look at him and could read all the thoughts circulating his brain. your heart and face softens, your body standing in-between his legs.

you lean in, a reassuring kiss reaching his plump pink lips, whispering back the confession you could read from him.

“i love you more, beomie.”

simple skincare tips!

🌼eat the foods that love you back. your skin is a direct mirror of your internal situation. if your digestive system is being bombarded often by foods that create a lot of wastes and residues, that does more harm than good. and so, the struggle to eliminate them will be reflected in your skin. your diet constitutes the vast majority of your skin health. change your meals to be whole food plant based (still delicious, satisfying, and exciting) & watch your skin glow and your skincare routine simplify.

🌼be conscious of what's going on your skin. the skin layers can be over-cleansed, imbalanced, and aggravated when the skin microbiome and pH are disrupted. if you wipe out the beneficial bacterial populations with harshly formulated products, you may find that you break out (i.e. harmful bacterial populations begin to thrive). use gentle, simple skin formulas such as castile soaps, natural oils & butters (i recommend jojoba oil for mostly everyone), natural soap bars, and clays. most commercial skin care products disturb the skin cells (introduce too much foreign material to the body, unsuitable pH ranges, imbalance the microbiome, etc). they sell because it's convention to buy them, the brands are well-known, and their sales pitches are enticing. but really, no cream or serum will ever be the magic potion your skin was asking for. it will only be a band-aid, at best. truly healthy skin comes from diet, and the products are just for any other necessary maintenance. if you get a pimple, you should look first to why the pimple emerged, not what treatment will remove it.

🌼keep your lymph flowing. simple ways to do this are through good lifestyle habits. things like doing exercise & sports you find fun, breathwork, dry brushing, eating lots of fruit, avoiding wearing bras & other tight clothing items, lymphatic massage/gua sha can all be helpful.

🌼focus on hydration via fresh fruits and veggies. the water within plant foods is more useable to your cells, and your skin will cease being overly oily or dry overtime (especially if you reduce/eliminate your salt & oil intake). it will also help to encourage lymphatic flow, so you can see problems like blemishes, cellulite, old scars diminish after great consistency.

🌼allow your skin to breathe. this is especially good if you spend time in stuffy (poorly ventilated) indoor environments, like offices, hospitals, planes, etc. one great way is via herbal facial steaming (i recommend it 3x a week or so). make a hot infusion of an aromatic tea, cover it and allow it to cool a few minutes, and, with closed eyes, allow the pores to open and receive the herbal medicine (this is a great time to meditate, manifest, and just feel pampered). getting more fresh air, working up a sweat, and going to a sauna are also ways to allow your skin to breathe.

🌼avoid steroid prescriptions creams at all costs. they are very deleterious to health in the long term, and they can be very painful to come off of. it's not a real fix. it's not worth hurting your kidneys & adrenals for. evaluate your diet instead. do you eat dairy? choose plant-based dairy options instead (they're simple to make yourself too). do you eat a lot of fats? try oil-free cooking methods instead (opt for sautéing with a bit of water, baking, steaming, air frying, etc). avoiding eating out as much.

🌼be aware of what you're putting in your hair as well. your shampoos, conditioner, leave-ins, gels, moisturizers, oils, serums, etc all tend to touch your face too, when your hair touches your face. if they wouldn't be good enough to put on your face, don't put them in your hair. a lot of the best skin cleansers are also suitable as shampoos. a lot of oils and butters can be used for both. plant-based gels like aloe vera or flax seed are simple to DIY, and are dual-use once again. basically, this will simplify your life.

🌼understand the water that runs through your pipes. if your shower and tap water are like most people's around the world, they aren't optimal for our skin. for example, they contain added chemicals to sanitize the water but that can prevent the proper microbiomes from developing on your skin. a weak skin microbiome is prone to skin issues. so, try to use distilled water on your face (if you're not able to get a water filter, a gallon jug at a store is affordable. they're about $1.30 USD in my area).

[mashriqiyyah]

If we want to promote the boycott of is-not-reali products, we need to give substitutes and options for it.

Now, I also remember sisters asking me for my skincare/haircare routines, and I wanted to give a detailed article on that, but now it ain't about the time.

So, here, I'll try to compile these two topics.

Skincare that's effective without using any israeli/american product.

First of all, I don't have a skincare routine. I don't follow any step by step process. But, I do use products that help me keep my skin clean and hydrated.

And the most important advice I'll give to sisters is not to go for "skincare brands" that give pea sized products in bag size money. These industries are mostly scam. Always go for drugstore products. Those that are created for medicinal purposes oriented towards genuinely healing the skin problems. And if you don't have any active skin problems, don't expose your face to various products for achieving "perfect skin". There's nothing like that. Normal skins have occasional pimples, pigmentations, dark spots and uneven texture.

Anyway.

If you're going for drugstore products...

Go for phrama companies like Cipla and Reddy's Laboratories.

I personally use Reddy's Venusia Max moisturizer as my skin gets extremely dry often. If you have dry n normal (combination) skin you can use it. And if you have oily skin, go for squalane based moisturizers from Derma Co.

Next in line, if you want to use any serums, vit C is best for skins and there's a product by Cipla "Rivella Vit C and HA Serum" it's soothing, and effective. Alhamdulillah.

As a face cleanser or what you call as face wash, there are very brilliant new company products from DeConstruct that I love love love because they are so gentle on face and keep your pH balance and moisture intact (great substitute for Dove soap)

Then there's one more important aspect on skincare that's protection from UV...so you'll need a sunscreen. Go for Regaliz Truederma SPF 50. It's efficient. Alhamdulillah. Or Minimalist Suncreen spf 60 + Niacinamide incase you wanna go economically minimalistic. Derma Co Zinc Sunscreen is good too (one that comes in orange coloured pack)

Now, these four things are more than enough to keep your skin good.

Cleanser, Serum, Moisturizer, Sunblock.

Apart from that if you still wanna have some extra products...not from drugstore but excellent Indian brands...then Go for Pilgrim or Minimalist. They have best the ranges in every product.

And then comes Haircare...

Boycott Garnier. Boycott Loreal Paris. Boycott Head n Shoulders.

Go for St. Botanica. The Shampoos are sooooo great. Allahummaabaarik. SLS, Paraben Free, Actually formulated for cleaning dirt from hairs and reduce hair problems. Conditioners too are effective and they actually work as they advertise. If not St. Botanica, mamaearth would be good...but I didn't see it's results as best as St. Botanica.

For lipbalms though, you can go for Mamaearth. The shades are subtle and help keep your lips hydrated and avoid pigmentations. Stop using Ponds, Vaseline, Nivea. .PLEASE!!!! Their lipbalms do nothing but make your lips darker and greasy.

Makeup, I don't use tbh. But few years back, I had gotten a lipstick from MyGlamm and a Foundation of Biotique. They were good. You can go for it.

Bodywashes, Feet scrubs - Bodywise

Hair removal gels/creams - Sirona

Perfumes - Ajmal / Maison De Fouzdar are best. No doubt.

I'm sharing this post not to promote any sort of "self care" in this situation....but as an essential need of substitutes. Infact these substitutes are way better and effective than the Israeli American products we've been wasting our money on.

I have tried to mention most of the things used by women because that's the biggest market for Israeli products.

If you are an Indian, promote Indian brands 'cause we gotta "make in India" ;)

For that we need to use only that which is "made in India"

Go ahead...you can add anything else I might've missed. And yes...If any Mother's seeing this, let us know baby products that are made in India.

I studied cosmetic chemistry, so these are some skincare tips I'd recommend!

For acne- Acne can be either inflammatory (looks red and irritated) or noninflammatory (bumps, blackheads, comedonal). Sometimes facial hair (yes, even on us girlies) can cause pimples to form, so you may want to seek hair removal treatments if you notice acne forming around where your face is hairiest. If you're experiencing the former, it could be caused from horomones, stress, + outdoor pollution. Try finding topical products with benzoyl peroxide. If the latter, it could be a reaction from skincare products that you're currently using, + having a diet high in sugars (high GI)/oily foods. These guys are tough to get rid of (may take a few weeks). I'd recommend finding a topical product with salicyilic acid. Do note that since these products aim to dry up sebum, your face might feel dryer. Make sure you're not overdoing skincare routines; be sure to change pillow cases, and not doing anything to cause too much friction on your face, since this can cause acne! I also love pimple patches (Hero cosmetics). They create a good environment for the skin to recover from acne while also absorbing extra sebum. I'd avoid oral medicine for acne since they can be very abrasive on your gut. For acne scars, products with retinol may help.

For dark circles- I personally don't have dark circles, but what may help you are topical products that contain Vitamin C, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, or caffeine. These ingredients are humectants, so they help hydrate your under eye area! Water retention seems to be the key in combating this effect, along with good rest. I wouldn't break the bank with an eyecream. Their formulation is very similar to facial cream, so you're just buying a glorified face cream. Interestingly, it also seems that low levels of B12 can cause dark circles, due to poor blood circulation. You can take B12 as a supplement if you don't eat animal products, or you can eat animal products that you like with higher B12 content.

For redness- If inflammation is the problem, you may find moisturizers with aloe vera or oatmeal to help! As we approach the colder seasons, be sure to keep your skin hydrated and moisturized! Maybe taking a cold, damp face towel and laying it on your face may help. Antioxidants are also great with reducing inflammation. You may find that green tea and turmeric/ginger tea to be very helpful (do note that green tea contains caffeine, if you're sensitive/try to avoid it).

Lastly, when buying skincare products, try not to buy multiple products that have the same active ingredients (ex. buying a facial cleanser, moisturizer, and serum that all have salicylic acid. This may irritate your skin).

I hope this helps! <3

God bless you!!

Honestly, this and the comments on my post have given me so much amazing advice and I cannot thank everyone enough! I’m taking so much on board and can’t wait to give you all some updates🤍

[exeggcute]

hello! you seem to know a lot about skincare stuff, so i'm curious what products you use for general daily use? i also have adult acne and it's very annoying. i would also appreciate any lip moisturizing ideas if you have any. thank you, and hope your day's going well!

oh yes! although fair warning that I am not a skincare expert at all (I don't even understand half the lingo that people use when they talk about products lol) so take any of my recommendations with a grain of salt...

other than sunscreen, literally all of the stuff I use is either from paula's choice, the ordinary, or good old cerave. I don't even bother trying other brands at this point because I assume they'll just be overpriced junk—plus, you can get almost all cerave products and a good chunk of the ordinary's products at, like, target. I'd also note that you don't need to (and really should not) go out and buy a million things at once; I have a pretty good arsenal at this point but it took me a couple years to build it up by trying one or two new products at a time and seeing what I like.

both paula's choice and the ordinary have "shop by concern" sections on their websites, so if you want actual targeted advice about what to try then I would definitely defer to them lol. but for some specific examples of what I like:

diehard fan of cerave face soaps. they have a foaming pump and a non-foaming pump, depending on whether your skin is more oily or more dry. I mostly use the latter, but since noelle uses the former I'll occasionally steal a pump of the foamy one if I'm having an oily streak lol.

likewise with cerave moisturizer, specifically for your body, but also works great on your face as a final skincare step. will not make you break out. however (important info incoming!!!) the pump lotion is far inferior to the giant tub of lotion—the pump stuff is just kind of watery and sad in comparison. get the tub. you deserve it.

the ordinary hyaluronic acid 2% serum is another "help I have dry skin but also acne" lifesaver. you can apply it directly to (damp!!!) skin or (wet!!!) hair or put a couple drops in your lotion for extra-moisturizing lotion. but it works by drawing outside moisture into your skin/hair, so make sure you're not applying it to dry skin/hair or it can backfire and actually dry you out.

paula's choice enriched calming toner = dry skin savior.

for acne specifically, paula's choice pore-reducing toner fucking rules. it's not harsh at all so you can use it as much as you want. pairs well with paula's 5% AHA exfoliant (which only use when I'm really flaky, since it is a little harsh, but you can temper it by applying lotion right after).

the ordinary azelaic acid 10% suspension is a little tingly, so I only use it when I'm actively breaking out (which tbf is often lol), but it's a great at starving out pimples.

from the paula's choice CLEAR line, I looooove the purifying clay mask. I use this one a couple times a week as needed, usually right after I get out of the shower, and then I'll wash it off and do the rest of my face potions as usual. even if my skin is pretty clear I just like how tight and clean everything feels after. I also recently tried the CLEAR 5% benzoyl peroxide daily skin clearing treatment (only because I got it as a free gift... otherwise I would Not have tried a benzoyl peroxide product lmao. bad memories of childhood acne treatment snake oil shit.) and was surprised how much I liked it, although I've been applying it verrry sparingly. the bottle recommends applying it (1) to your entire face and (2) EVERY DAY, but I've had luck using it as a sporadic spot treatment. pairs well with the enriched calming toner.

I've also been using this prescription tretinoin cream off and on for the past year (from the dubious skincare-as-a-service online pharmacy "forhers" lol) and it's Good but not a miracle. my skin is already pretty sensitive so I try not to use it that often, but it would probably work a lot better if it did. also makes you photosensitive as hell so watch out (sunscreen is a must).

specifically for lip moisturizer, nothing beats plain old burt's bees lip balm imo but if you need something heavy-duty I do like the paula's choice lip and body treatment balm. it's a little greasy but has great staying power and the tub lasts forever!

also important to note. you should always do stuff in this order: wash your face (duh) > toner > other stuff > lotion/moisturizer. I know you're supposed to do the "other stuff" in a specific order if you're stacking multiple products but tbh I just kind of wing it lol.

[bonesandthebees]

Hello! If you do have any recommendations for skincare I would like them, acne is annoying lmao

OH BOY YES I DO!

okay so all skin has different sensitivities and needs and all that so what works for me might not work for you. there's a lot of different avenues you can go down for acne treatment but I'll try to go through things I know work for most people

this is gonna be long so putting it under a read more

first off, you gotta be washing your face twice a day if you don't already. I use cetaphil daily face wash which you can find in most drugstores, but another drugstore brand I've heard is very good is cervave! both brands have several different kinds of face wash, some that are more specific for acne, some that are hydrating if you have issues with dry skin, and some that are made for sensitive skin if you deal with irritation. I'd go through the different products they have and see what looks like it'd work best for you

most acne-specific face products use salicylic acid since that's a chemical proven to reduce oil and all that, but if you've used salicylic acid stuff and don't notice any improvement, you might want to try benzoyl peroxide acne products! panoxyl is another drugstore brand that carries acne face and body washes with benzoyl peroxide, and I use that for my chest and back acne (jury is still out as to if its actually helping or not. I'm still trying to figure out if salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide works better. do your research on both to see which one will work better for you!)

now if you want to add more than just face wash there is a whole variety of serums out there! my god tier, number one serum that I don't know how I lived without until now is niacinamide. niacinamide has been proven through research trials to be effective in reducing the amount of sebum (oil produced from your pores) your skin produces, and also reduces redness in skin. there are a lot of serums you can get that's a mix of stuff with niacinamide in it, but if you want a serum that's just straight up niacinamide (which I would recommend if you want to test out if it actually benefits you) both good molecules and the ordinary sell bottles of it for $6. the ordinary's serum is 10% niacinamide with 1% zinc, with the zinc there because I guess it's hydrating? good molecules is just 10% niacinamide without any zinc. there really isn't much of a difference between the two products, but for some reason good molecules serum worked way better for my skin than the ordinary's did, although I've known plenty of people who use the ordinary's version and love it.

(note: while both bottles say you can apply these niacinamide serums twice a day, in clinical trials it was shown that 5% niacinamide is what's effective on skin and they have no evidence higher concentrations does anything. so since these are both 10% niacinamide, you might want to just apply it once a day to reduce any risk of irritation)

if you have oily skin you might be hesitant about using moisturizer, but you have to use it bc if you try to dry your skin out your skin will just produce excess oil in response. what you want to look for in a face moisturizer is anything that's oil-free and non-comedogenic, which means it won't clog your pores. ideally, get a moisturizer that has spf in it as well (at least spf 30), that way you don't have to add an extra step to apply sunscreen on your face every day. right now I use cetaphil's daily face moisturizer with spf 35, but before that when I was a teen I used cetaphil's dermacontrol oil absorbing moisturizer with spf 30. the difference is that the dermacontrol is a bit more expensive, but it works to reduce the oil on your face so it's for people who really struggle with oily acne-prone skin. both products are oil-free and non-comedogenic so neither one will clog your pores. which one you use just depends on how oily your skin is

as far as taking care of individual pimples, while I've tried spot treatments with salicylic acid from the ordinary and good molecules, I don't really notice them doing much for me. what DOES make a difference is hydrocolloid pimple patches which dry out the skin and can really help reduce pimples. I like panoxyl's pimple patches, and you can get a pack of 40 for $8-$10

these are just the essentials for me! if you want any more 'special' products like masks or exfoiliants or oils lmk and I'll make a post about those but this is already long enough lol. I linked the products to their brand websites but you can find most of these either in drugstores, on amazon, or in stores like ulta or sephora

hope this helps!

[thegreatflyinggrayson]

please tell us about your 15 step skincare routine

I'm so glad someone asked! (Pimple mentions incoming!!!)

Here are my steps, in order, with time and materials (also this is just my morning routine, not my nightime one):

Before I do anything (this is kind of gross, I know) I go through and check for acne and blackheads and all that fun stuff, because I'll have to treat them later in the process.

Every morning I hop in the shower and wash up. This is important because the steam is great for my face, and it saves time so I don't need to use a steamer. I don't wash my face in the shower, though.

While I'm in the shower I use an exfoliating body scrub to remove any dead skin and such.

I shave once I'm out of the shower, because I don't really go for the scruffy/grizzled look. I use this amazing buttery soft shaving cream that moisturizes my skin, it smells like honeysuckle.

I wash my face using a gentle unscented cleanser. I have really soft washcloths specifically for this purpose.

I use some eye cream- look, I am aging, and I would like to say it's with grace. I started doing this to prove to Bruce it would be useful, and so far it's been good. He hasn't tried it out yet.

I use a toner because ugh my pores- I know I don't technically have to, but I like it, okay? Besides, like I said, aging.

Then I use a serum that I got as a gift one year and I cannot stop buying it. I use an antioxidant serum in the mornings, and a vitamin C serum at night.

Once that's in place, I use a nice moisturizer because my skin does what it wants and what it wants in rainy weather is to dry up like the Sahara.

Back to the acne, like- ugh. Acne appears so quickly and I am so mad nobody told me it lasts after your teen years. I use a more intense acne treatment at night, usually, but Tim bought me some of those cute star stickers that get rid of pimples and I am obsessed, so if I feel confident enough I'll slap some stars on my face. Especially if I don't have work. Anyways, back to the process.

So, like, I know a lot of people like to put on face oil but I am constantly fighting my skin so I have to apply it super carefully and lightly. Because my skin is dry and oily and annoying.

I do a lip scrub here, because obviously.

Chapstick. Look, I consider this a step because it is slept on, it is so important and people keep skipping it for themselves. I use a beeswax chapstick that has SPF 15 in it.

Once all of that is done I generally move on to my "second" skincare routine where I apply body lotion and all that. Yes I consider this part of my skincare routine. Your skin is your skin, even if it's not your face.

Okay so once that's out of the way I have to put on sun screen because I need it. Yes, even in the fall/winter! Your skin still absorbs UV rays when it's cold, and I am not taking any chances.

My nighttime routine is really fun and includes a mud mask, but is pretty similar to everything above except with a bigger focus on adding nutrients to my face/skin overnight, as well as treating acne a little more aggressively.

Honestly I don't know why Bruce doesn't try to do it every day, it's really not that complex.

Spa Night With CE Characters.

Steve Rogers

Steve and you come home after a long and exhausting day of work.

You've filled out paperwork, had a ton of meetings with Tony, Nick, and Phil, and you've had to fill out mission reports.

Steve was busy training new recruits, and going over the last mission with Tony, Nick, and Phil.

The end of the day is here, and you and Steve head home.

You're both exhausted.

You order a pizza for delivery.

You pull out your masks, pore strips, pimple patches, the bubble bath, and your hydrating foot socks.

Steve and you just collapse on the bed.

The pizza arrives, and Steve pays for it.

You and Steve eat the pizza, and enjoy the giant brownie for dessert.

Steve lies down some towels on the bed, and you both give each other a nice massage.

Then, you run the bath, and you and Steve just relax in the bath.

After, you apply a the first face mask, and you apply some on Steve, too.

You rinse of the first face mask, and then you rinse it off of Steve.

You apply the second mask and then apply it to Steve.

You then rinse it off, and rinse it off of Steve.

You apply the pore strip, and then apply one to Steve.

You let it sit on your nose for the 15 minutes that you're supposed to, then you peel it off.

Steve peels his off.

You and Steve both have blackheads galore on your nose.

Steve's lucky, so he doesn't need to apply a pimple patch.

You have to apply a few because you have a few breakouts that popped up overnight.

You and Steve just fall asleep in each other's arms, under the covers of your shared bed.

You're too tired to even watch Star Trek.

Luckily, the next day is Saturday, and you and Steve don't have to work for the weekend.

You're just going to be lazy slobs for two day.

It's the best.

You got to spend your spa night with your boyfriend, Steve.

Ransom Drysdale

Ransom doesn't want anyone to know that he gives himself a spa night.

He applies a charcoal mask to both you and to him.

You both just lie on the bed and relax while the mask does it's thing.

Then, he rinsed it off the both of you, dries your skin, and then applies a clay mask to the both of you.

You then wait for the mask to dry.

When it dries, he rinses it off the both of you, then dries your faces.

He then applies the final mask, which is a mud mask.

You both wait for it to dry.

Ransom then brings in two masseuses.

You both get a nice massage from the masseuses that he brought in.

You and Ransom rinse off the last masque, and then apply some serum, then some moisturizer.

You apply an acne patch on the spot that surfaced all of a sudden.

Ransom is lucky-he doesn't have to deal with problematic skin.

The masseuse gives you and Ransom an amazing massage.

You two end the night with some nice pizza, and some hot fudge sundaes.

You and Ransom brush your teeth, and fall asleep in each other's arms.

Andy Barber

Andy comes home, only you're no where to be found.

He finds you soaking in the tub.

You tell him to join you.

You have some nice, lavender scented bath salts, some epsom salt, and the water is nice and hot.

You also have some nice, lavender bubble bath.

You've had a hard week at work, it never seemed to end.

Andy strips down and joins you in the tub.

You two enjoy the nice, long soak.

Your head is resting on Andy's shoulder, and you two fall asleep.

You get out when the water turns cold.

You put on your pajamas, while Andy puts on his sweats and his favorite long sleeved tee.

You apply your sea mineral masque.

You apply a little to Andy.

How start skin care as a beginner

Here's a simple guide to starting a skincare routine for beginners:

Identify Your Skin Type:

Normal: No or few imperfections, no severe sensitivity, barely visible pores, a radiant complexion.

Dry: Almost invisible pores, dull and rough complexion, red patches, less elasticity, more visible lines.

Oily: Enlarged pores, dull or shiny, thick complexion, blackheads, pimples, or other blemishes.

Combination: Can be dry or normal in some areas and oily in others, such as the T-zone (nose, forehead, and chin).

Sensitive: Redness, itching, burning, and dryness.

Establish a Basic Skin Care Routine:

Cleanse: Choose a cleanser that does not leave your skin tight after washing. Clean your face no more than twice a day, or just once, if you have dry skin and don't wear makeup.

Moisturize: Apply a moisturizer immediately after washing your face to keep your skin hydrated.

Apply Sunscreen: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Sunscreen is the easiest way to prevent premature aging of the skin.

Introduce Additional Skin Care Products:

Serums: Use serums that address specific concerns, such as anti-aging serums with antioxidants like vitamin C or hydrating serums with hyaluronic acid.

Exfoliants: Depending on your skin type, incorporate an exfoliant into your routine to help remove dead skin cells. Use gentle exfoliants if you have sensitive skin.

Masks: Face masks can be used occasionally to deep cleanse or hydrate your skin.

By following these steps, you can establish a skincare routine that suits your skin type and addresses your specific skin concerns.

MY GOALS

Clear skin.

Excersising.

SKIN

My forehead and nose is very oily. I tried so many products that I felt overwhelmed, so I have started from scratch. I bought a cleanser (Honey Cleansing Foam by Esfolio) and a moisturiser (Light Moisturiser by Simple). Kept it simple by going back to the basics. My nose and forehead wasn't very oily after, but I decided to buy the Salicylic Acid & Sea Kelp Pore Clearing and Oil Control Serum by Selfless to lessen it even more. I bought them from a random store, so I didn't buy them at their original price.

ACHIEVED: This is future me (because I made this post a while ago, so now I am witnessing the results) and my new routine works! I put the product from Selfless only on my forehead and nose. The big pimple at my nose still haven't left, but it is slowly disappearing. But no new pimple came from my nose and forehead and my forehead is now clear! The rest of my face still faced acne, so I decided to put it on my whole face instead. Now no new pimple has appeared!

WORKOUT

THINGS TO IMPROVE: A workout plan. And if I still keep it up throughout my school year, I'll start adding more days.

I started working out twice a week. I should probably plan my excersise better, but right now I'm happy that I have started excersising instead of thinking about it. I was worried that once school starts, I won't have time to work out, but when I think about it, I just need to excersise once during school days and another during the weekend.

I know it may not be a lot for yous, but two is perfect for me right now. As last year, doing it everyday led to my hatred for it. And when I couldn't excersise for one day, I just stop and don't it for weeks. But doing it for only twice a week, really helped the consistency. Also I started doing warm ups before workouts and stretches after I'm done. I'm amazed that I worked out without any injuries last year (I took a break at the start of the year due to reasons I shall not disclose).

ACHIEVED: Consistency and re-found the enjoyment of excersising.

NEW GOALS

Study.

Hair care.

I'll start worrying about my hair once I know my studying and excersising is going well.

hi! i'm giving these advices as a skincare enthusiast and not as a professional dermatologist 🥹

so when you do skincare it will be lightest/more runny products first. After cleanser, you can use toner. Toner as far as I know helps to prepare and your hydrate your skin so the following products can sink in better to your skin. There are toners you can use everyday. But toners with active ingredients like glycolic acid, aha, bha, and pha shouldn't be use everyday since they're exfoliating acids. better you use those 2-3x a week depending on how your skin can handle the actives. Toner is just optional tho.

after toner, serum/essence. essence and serums were kinda the same but different. Serums differs depending on your skin concerns (there are serums for acne, blemishes, etc.) meanwhile essence most of the time focuses on just hydration. you can use both everyday, but if you want a simpler routine you can just choose the serum since can target your concerns more and just choose a heavy moisturizer (if you have a dry skin dry skin). there are also serums with exfoliating acids tho, you can't use those everyday too.

next is moisturizer/hydrator. moisturizer is used when you want to lock moisture in your skin. while, hydrator is used when you want to attract moisture to your skin. you can use moisturizer if you have oily/normal skin. moisturizer is recommended for oily skin since it locks up moisture on the skin. the thing is when we cleanse our face, it strips away the moisture and oils in our skin, as a result the skin produces more moisture to your skin. putting moisturizer creates a trick that your skin is moisturize so your skin won't produce more oils. moisturizer is also advised for everyday use.

lastly, suncreen (during the day) with broad spectrum, and 30 spf and up is recommended. two finger rule, and also don't forget to reapply sunscreen when you're outside. wear sunscreen everyday, even if you'll just stay inside your house, rainy times, winter times, summer, etc.

extra 1: if you're planning to use retionol, cream retinol is better and easier to work with than serum type retinols. use sandwich method (moisturizer-retinol-moisturizer) if you're a beginner. retinol is not suitable for everyday use if you're a beginner, 1x a week is enough, and if your skin builds tolerance overtime you can then use it 2-3x a week the next month. you can't see instant result in retinol tho, sometimes it takes 3-9 months to see the results you're looking for. and also please start with a lower dosage retinol (0.1%) before going up (0.5% - 1%). research first before diving into retinol ♥️

extra 2: if you have sensitive skin please please please avoid exfoliating acids and the AlL nATuRAl skincares.

extra 3: never brush your teeth after cleansing your face. brush your teeth first before cleansing your face, its a must ♥️

extra 4: cleansing your face for 30secs - 1minute is recommended, especially if you have actives in your cleanser.

extra 5: have a one of two minutes before layering your skincare. let the first one sink in first for a minute of two before adding the next.

DUDE thank you so much. i can’t thank you enough you’re a saint for this thank you !!!

you’ve got me checking the ingredients on my toner now and trying to do math i dont know half this stuff but im listening. my toner does happen to have that glycolic acid thing so im thankful i havent been using that every day. i feel like my skin is so complicated because its dry but also oily and its sensitive but i dont really get breakouts or pimples. i cant ever tell what i need or dont need or whats good for my skin 😩
