#eliminate dry skin cells

[sidewalkchemistry]

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).

I really hope we get to see DX-TR again before the season ends because the bits and pieces we know about him are fascinating.

Like, he gets brought onto this elite group of mechanites for a very particular skillset. As K-LB so eloquently puts it at the end of season three, "The thing about DX-TR... MR-SN's superpower was making you believe in his dreams. DX-TR's superpower was making you believe his lies."

He's an invaluable member of the team and then betrays his party to the githyanki only to work on the exact same thing they were working on before: traveling beyond the planescape. We see in VR-LA's vision via MR-SN that DX-TR specifically wanted the whole crew to be captured, but don't really get an explanation beyond DX-TR saying to Endellion "We need them! All of them, alive! Especially him. This wasn't the deal!"

And it doesn't seem like he gets much from the githyanki aside from resources. Again, drawing from what K-LB has said...

"In some ways, DX-TR seemed as much of a prisoner as us. Like, he could go and come back, but mostly he was summoned [...] He was stuck in that same room with us, a little more space to walk around..."

And he keeps working on the project. For three years he keeps his old friends in a cell, watches as AS-TR deteriorates to the point of not speaking at all, and keeps at it.

Until he doesn't. According to K-LB, there was a certain point when he "stopped working so hard" and goes on to say "I just feel like it wasn't because he hit a dead end. It was because he didn't need to be working hard on it anymore. He was just biding his time."

But why bide his time? Kyana points out during the conversation with K-LB and the others that DX-TR probably used their attack as a distraction to escape, that he could have taken more hits at them and chose to run instead, but there might be another reason.

When VR-LA asks K-LB if they succeeded in their work under the githyanki, K-LB responds "We're still here, ain't we?" VR-LA quickly figures out this meant that the githyanki would have killed the old Per Aspera crew when they finished, which likely includes DX-TR. So he fled to save his own skin but also (either purposefully or inadvertently) saved his old crew by stalling with the githyanki.

Instead of playing on this angle with the crew during the rescue attempt, he comes across as a cut and dry villain the first time we meet him. He kills Dani while she's unconscious and no threat just to send a message to VR-LA not to come after him.

And then, once he's free and has the most valuable information in the planescape, he goes to work for the mindflayers??? Why? Why would he choose to go work for one of the most universally hated and dangerous species that exists? What's stopping them from eating his brain and using his knowledge without that pesky individuality getting in the way?

For whatever reason, he gets to remain himself and is set to eliminate other threats to the mindflayers' plan. He kills Casimir, but not C-RA or K-LB. Which, as K-LB tells VR-LA outright, he easily could have done so since he caught everyone off guard. Instead, he lets C-RA take his arm (which, granted, probably isn't as big of a deal for a mechanite and can probably be repared, but if I were in a situation as dangerous as working with mindflayers on a daily basis I would want to be in tip top shape at all times in case one of them gets hungry) and runs again.

K-LB and E-DN have explicitly stated that they want him dead despite knowing he spared K-LB and C-RA's lives. VR-LA's on the fence about it, but–even if he did fully commit to killing DX-TR–his devil deal is still up in the air and there's a very real possibility that VR-LA can't kill him. Whether someone else on the crew can do so on his behalf remains to be seen, but since he technically only gave the order to kill the mindflayer in the last episode with Kyana and Vhas doing the dirty work and Austin still almost used the deal to stop him, I think that might not be a loophole he can take advantage of.

Which means by the end of this campaign there's a fair chance that DX-TR is just going to be out there in the planescape doing who knows what. We don't know what his motivations are beyond finishing the project, what don't know how much his old crew still means to him (enough to lose an arm but not enough to keep them imprisoned for three years?), and we don't know what he plans to do after this.

Rambling aside, I want to put him under a microscope to study.

I smiled as I finished lacing my dress for the day pulling the ribbons of my dress tight to keep it on me all day. I grabbed the pie cooling in the window and set it in my basket alongside some jars of preserves and a few bottles of honey wine. I picked up my now-loaded basket and headed out of my little house into the dust and dry dirt of Labelle. I glanced to the sky hoping perhaps to see some dark clouds on the horizon as we badly needed some rain but alas the normal dry New Mexico heat was all we received. I headed through town past all the little shops the ladies now ran in order to keep the town going giving the ladies building the church a wave as I went past, till I reached the town square heading over to the familiar building.

'Sheriff, Labelle, New Mexico territory'

Atop two four square windows. The porch with a couple of chairs and a large pile of logs for the burner inside. A small lamp light hung beside the porch steps just before the door.

I hopped up the steps and in through the unlocked door looking around the small office with its three cells lining the far wall. Sheriff Bill Mcnue's desk to my left was empty as per usual, the coat rack to my left alongside a small window, and In Front of me was the large gun cabinet full of shotguns, and pistols, the mirror lining the back of the cabinet. And In Front of the cabinet, the deputy's desk was lined with various paperwork, keys and coffee cups given he'd been on his own so long. And in the small wooden chair behind it laid a comatose deputy whitey Winn.

In his usual mud-covered brown leather boots, his borderline skin-tight jeans with a slight vertical striping in the fabric pulled up to his waist, his two dark brown leather gun Belts sat crossed over his hips so a buckle sat above his pants fly and the other just above his butt allowing him to have a 45. On each hip. The white handles guns sat there slightly moving with his breaths. His 'once' white shirt collar was only just visible, his slightly green half-button overshirt covering him from wrist to neck with a small breast pocket where his silver deputy badge hung. Any skin exposed had enough dirt to set potatoes, so much muck in fact under his nails I was almost convinced he was growing himself garden, his excuse for facial hair slightly graced the corners of his upper lip barely even meeting in the middle with maybe three hairs under his bottom lip and I don't think any on his chin, his hair thick with grease and dirt or slightly matting in sections where he runs his hand thought it but that was all. The familiar scent of sweat, dirt, warm leather and the unfortunate scent of a man who lives alone is eliminated from him like a pile of roadkill tossed to the gutter. His hat was on the desk, his hands on his stomach as he sat in his chair far asleep.

I couldn't help but giggle at the slight setting my basket down on the corner of his desk atop some of his gun magazines. I carefully snuck over to behind his desk leaning down to see him. I smiled and gently rubbed the tip of my nose against his own the first few runs bore no response but soon he began to move Against me too subtly of course until I move and pressed a small kiss to his lips which caused a wide smile across his lips

"Hi" I smiled

He rubbed his nose on my own a little before giving my lips a little kiss "hi" he smiled opening his eyes to see me "what are ya doin' 'ere?" He asks leaning back in his chair

"What? Are you not happy to see me whitey?" I pouted putting my hands on my hips as I stood up straight

He leant forward leaning his arms on his desk and his jaw on his hand "I'm always 'appy to see ya darlin'" he smiled giving me another little kiss

"Cute" I smiled tapping his nose "how have things been?"

"Quiet" he sighed "it's Labelle darlin' nothin' much ever 'appens 'round 'ere" he says leaning back in his chair

"You finished that paperwork bill asked you to do?"

"Jesus Christ y/n- I finished all that lot last week"

"Sorry"

"It's alright. I don't think ya quite get just 'ow dull thin's can be 'round 'ere" he laughed

"I suppose not. Any news?"

"From?"

"Bill?"

"Course not. He'll get back when he gets back. As much as I know darlin'" he shrugs

"Alright, I just hope it's not too much longer it's not fair bill to abandon town for so long"

"It's nothin' I can't 'andle" he smirked

"Not my point. Just because you can doesn't mean you should have too. You only getting paid a deputy salary and frankly, you're doing all the work will bill gone so much" I explained

"I know what ya mean. Don't worry ya'self alright I'll 'ave a word with bill when he's back" he says getting up and giving my forehead a kiss "besides won't be long will bill packs it in, then I'll take over" he says as he wandered over fixing himself another coffee

"What makes you so sure he'll let you?"

"I'm his deputy y/n, it's kinda the whole idea" he laughed

"Then what makes you so sure he'll pack it in soon?"

"He has to at some point and he ain't gettin' any younger. He spends most of his time in the undertakers playin' chess anyhow" he laughed returning to his desk coffee in hand "what's in the basket?" He finally asks honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he hadn't even noticed it till now

"Presents" I smiled taking the basket and hiding it from him putting it behind my back

"Ooh? Let me see" he Cooes getting up but I moved back

"There a secret"

"Are they? Come on darlin' let me see"

"No" I giggled bolting across the office but he gave chase rushing around the office trying to catch me as I circled around the desks till he cornered me between the last cells bars and the wooden wall basket still behind me but his arms on the wall and bars so I had nowhere to go

"Let me see"

"No"

"Why not?"

"Secrets"

"Come on darlin', please" he Cooes

"On one condition"

"What condition?"

I simply shrugged and his smile grew before he leant down capturing my lips in a sweet Intense kiss his lips slowly moving Against my own his arm moving from the wall to wrap around my waist his left hand on my left hip wrapped around my back, until we both pulled back for a moment he was breathless staring at my lips before glancing up to my eyes

"'appy?"

"Ummm humm" I nodded

"Good" he Cooes rubbing his nose on my own and snatching my basket returning to his desk so I scampered back too. "Ooooh pie! What kind of pie?"

"Sweet potato pie" I smiled

"Aww ya always make my favourite darlin'"

"Cause you always ask for it" I smiled

"Thank you very much"

"You're welcome"

He happily unpacked the rest of the basket putting all the bits and bobs away in their usual place as well as having himself a slice of pie "ummmm delicious as always darlin" he says giving my cheek a kiss as he ate as he did I couldn't help glancing to his hat still sat on the table so I sneaking began to walk my fingers across the desk towards the hat but before I could even touch the rim he slapped my hand

"Oww!" I complained

"Don't even think about it" he warns sternly giving me a sharp glare picking his hat up and dusting off some dirt

"I just wanted to look"

"Look with ya eyes. Not ya fingers" he warns

"I only wanted a look" I pouted

"No y/n"

"Why not?"

"Breaks the rules"

"Fine. I'm heading home"

"Alright I'll be 'ere a bit longer, did ya want me to … pop by when I'm done?" He suggested

"It's alright whitey I'll be fine all by myself. Have a nice afternoon" I smiled giving him a little kiss taking my basket and headed out

"You too Darlin'" he smiled blowing me a kiss as I left.

I smiled as I scrubbed and washed the little pots and dishes that had mounted up over god only knows how long it had been since whitey did any dishes, christ some of mine were in here from pies and roasts I had sent over to the office for him. I was rather thankful whitey asked for my help in tidying his house as it so desperately needed it and I knew with my oversight he couldn't half-ass it and the place would defiantly be cleaned. While I was scrubbing and cleaning the dishes and bottles, Whitey knelt on the floor cleaning out the fireplace cluttering and clattering the fireplace with the little tools. "How old are some of these?" I asked slightly concerned

"Hum? Ohh No idea darlin' I stopped keeping track" he explained

"You need to learn how to take better care of this place"

"I know, I just don't get a lot of time workin' in the office so much. usually, a soon as I get 'ome I just kinda collapse and sleep"

"Wherever would you be without me" I giggled

"Humm I'd be lost without ya y/n" he cooes giving my cheek a kiss as he came to wash his hands and face given they were now covered in ash and soot from the fireplace.

"you need a bath" I told him

he sighed "I'll take a damn bath when the 'ouse is clean"

"Alright, you fix your bed I'll get started on the laundry" I smiled

"Alright" He smiled heading to his bed and stripping it off "ya know I don't really need to lean to upkeep the 'ouse" He says

"don't you?" I glared sorting his clothes into... well I tried to colours at least original colours some of which were very hard to tell, was this shirt ever white? or was it just grey? I don't know I don't remember it ever being white. "Why not?"

"Well what's the point in me learnin' all the 'ouse stuff. Might as well just get myself a wife"

"Whitey!"

"Ya know what I mean, No point me leanin' it all if ya just gonna move in a month later" he shrugs

I chuckled "whitey when we get married you're going to do chores too"

"Why?" he whines "I'm the 'usband. your 'ot sexy deputy 'usband." He cooes coming to cuddle me "Who works all day while his pretty wife makes nice dinner ready for him to get 'ome"

"Ummm, and cleans the house, looks after the children, all while the husband sits on his ass"

"Yeah" he shrugs

"whitey" I glared turning to face him crossing my arms "if you ever want me to be Mrs Winn, you better learn to do chores and take care of things. Or you ain't got a cat in hells chance of getting anywhere with me" I told him "and you can drop that attitude too"

"I'm just sayin' my little wifey would be the one at 'ome with the children. While I go to work"

"I know but you're still helping. I ain't raising our children, doing all the chores and taking care of you Mr" I told him as I sorted his clothes

"I'll 'elp. got to teach my little boys to shoot as good as their daddy"

"They still have to go to school whitey"

"Why? I didn't"

"My point exactly." I giggled

"fine" He sighed "this is good though, gettin' it all square now. then we'll 'ave no arguments about how we raise our babies when we get married" he smiled giving my cheek a kiss and going to remake his bed with the fresh bedding

"You're not abandoning them like bill does his kids"

"course I won't ya know I won't darlin' I just don't see the point in learnin' all the 'ouse stuff"

"Well you better. You can clean your own damn britches whitey I ain't your wife yet" I told him handing over the pile of laundry for him to do as I took  a hot pot outside filling up the steal tub grabbing a washboard from the wall and began washing his shirts and such

"yet" he smiled following me out with his own so we could sit together while we did the laundry "Ya would be if he wrote me back already"

"Still no news then?" I asked

"No, I wrote him over two months ago startin' to get a little worried"

"I'm sure It'll be through soon" I smiled giving his cheek a little kiss, Honestly I was a little worried too. A few months ago whitey penned a letter, with help. To my grandfather the last of my family still living for permission for us to get married but we had yet to hear back anything at all. Frankly, it was the only reason we weren't yet married, even if I'm sure if permission was denied he'd likely marry me anyways. I know he's getting impatient and I had to admit I was too it was such a small but inconvenient hurdle to get over before we could truly start our life together before the jokes and stories of us living together and raising a family could become more than simple tales.

"I wonder if Bill'll give me time off when we get married?" He pondered

"I'm sure he would if you asked nicely" I giggled

"Maybe as we are 'avin' to wait so long" He smirked suggestively

"You get no more than your kisses till after we're married whitey"

"Damn it" he sighed "Come on we've been datin' a year and a 'alf"

"So? not till we're married that's my rules," I told him as I took the clean laundry hanging it all over the line just outside his house. Once all done heading inside with the water pot, as I did I noticed his boots and jacket by the door so I grabbed the brush giving them a dust and a brush cleaning off his leather jacket I then reached for his hat to give it a dust off and a clean however he was just heading in and before I could even lift it from its place on the rack he snatched it out my hand

"No." he snapped setting his pot with my own by the fire

"what?"

"No. no touchin' ya know that" he warns

"I was only going to give it a brush whitey" I complained

"Ya 'ave you're rules darlin' I 'ave mine. Ya don't touch my hat alright?"

"Fine" I sighed "Be like that" I pouted

"I will do. don't get all pouty with me just cause ya can't 'ave what ya want"

"Look who's talking"

"Funny." he chuckled giving my cheek a kiss "No, touchin'" He warns

I smiled as I stood brushing little buttercup, Often times catching whitey across the way taking care of his own horse ted brushing him, feeding him and generally taking care of him. "Eyes front Mr Winn" I told him

"Why? What's the matter little lady? you're not normally so grumpy with me"

"Well I'm working"

"as I am, Can't 'elp if my work's such a good view" he cooes

I finished up with buttercup and went over to help with out with ted "Maybe if you did more work, and not such on the view little ted would be finished up by now?"

"maybe so, But I can't 'elp it" he cooes coming around to pull me into a cuddle peppering my neck and cheek with kisses "ya too damn pretty"

"Am I now?"

"I can't resist ya. and ya know I can't say no to ya darlin'"

"So cuddly today whitey"

"Well I've been in the office all week I've barely seen ya" He complained "or cuddled ya. or kissed ya" he cooes

"True. Guess you've been busy" I giggled grabbing the rim of his hat and bolting across the stable

"Very funny darlin', give it" He says playfully

"No,"

"Very sweet, very cute, now 'and it over"

"No, my hat now" I giggled cuddling it close to my chest

"I ain't playin' darlin' give it" he complained trying to take it but I moved around ted "This ain't funny y/n" He says now getting rather angry with me as whenever he tried to take it I simply moved though the stables to a point where he couldn't reach me. "Y/n! give it back!"

"Mine now" I giggled "Maybe I'll hop on buttercup take your guns and become a cute little cowgirl" I smiled holding the hat just above my head

"don't ya dare" he warns "Give it back y/n"

"awww do you not think I'd make a cute cowgirl whitey?"

"Ya would look adorable but give me my hat back"

"Humm I'm the fastest shootin' cowgirl in the west," I giggled playfully "Pew pew"

"I ain't playin' y/n give it back."

"why?"

"its the rules darlin' "

"what rule?"

"Ya wear the hat ya better ride the cowboy" He smirked leaning on the wooden collum of the roof of the stable

"what sort of a rule is that?"

"The cowboy rules darlin'." he smirked "Rule 48 ya wear the hat ya ride the cowboy"

"You're making that up"

"No I'm not it's right 'ere in the cowboy 'andbook" he says getting a small book

"wh-where did you have that?" I asked "I know how damn tight your trousers are whitey where did you have that?"

"My pocket." he shrugs "see right here Rule 48 ya wear the hat ya ride the cowboy" he says setting the book in the bag in teds stable

"who made that rule?"

"Fellow boys sick of you girlies stealin' thin's" He says once again trying to take it but I moved back again "Darlin' give it. ya know the rules so 'and it over"

"So what if I was to sit this on my little head I'd have to-"

"Yes you would."

"That goes against my rules"

"its the cowboy rules dalin' been this way for generations. So mine ourways your's" he smirked "Give it."

"Or else what?"

"Else I'm bloody takin' it"

"Not if you can't catch me" I giggled bolting out the stable door and into the dust of town of course he immiedatly bolted after me I imagine the ladies of town likely thought we'd gone insane as we ran around labelled chasing each other like children until I bolted into his house and he soon caught up with me so I smiled and sat his hat on my head "Don't you think I look pretty?" I giggled

he smirked pulling the door shut and locking it behind him "ya shouldn't 'ave done that darlin'"

"I think I look cute"

"ya look very cute. but ya know the rules."

"Okay" I smiled

"O-Okay?"

"I broke the rules" I shrug "Guess the town deputy should punish his little cowgirl correctly"

"humm come 'ere then darlin'" he smirked taking me in his arms pulling me tight to his skinny body leaning down to capture my lips in a kiss more intese then I had ever felt he slipped the hat off my head sitting it on his table as he pulled me closer his arms around my waist giving me utterly no escape from him our kiss so intense and lustful it was clearly the whole of his frustrations where coming out in this meer kiss even moaning into my mouth a little as his hand slipped down to grab my ass though my dress, he pulled back rather suddenly forcing me to his bed I went to lean or lay down but he stopped me kissing my cheek "Ah ah ah. Ya wear the hat ya better ride the cowboy darlin' remember." he smirked turning us around so he could sit on his bed "Ya ain't layin' on ya back to get this over with. You wanted this. Now ya gotta pay the price"

"I wouldn't dream of it whitey" I smiled climbing into his lap settling myself on his thighs the moment I did his cool smirking deminer stopped and his sharp excited breaths broke through as he glanced at my lips and then down biting his lip as he saw how close our bodies where, given after all court time together out privets had never been this close before. And given he had always wanted this even since our earliest courting days I can imagine he was excited. Infact I didn't need to imagine as I felt the shiftening close to my stomach and a sharply spoken sentence came from his lips as he hovered over my own

"We're really gonna do this." He said less stated like a question and more as a statement more as if he was reafirming it to himself

"You said it was the rules," I pouted

"It is! it is." he says "Sorry- I uhh I'm more nervous then I thought I'd be"

"Well, I promise to be gentle. So long as your gentle with me whitey"

"I will." he gave me a sharp kiss "I promise"

"Alright, how would my cowboy like me to ride him then?"

For a moment he seemed utterly shocked at the words coming out of my mouth but he didn't waste his time, kicking off his boots and throwing his belts onto his bedside table moving and getting settled down his bed so he could have his head on his pillow and I knelt fully over his hips with the sheets below us. I don't know why but even in my utter innocence I got a strange confidence from sitting over a nervous, overexctied whitey, that this big strong deputy boy reacted to my every movement, my every word, as if he was made of clay and I could shape him however I wanted. that even though my family had always explained it as being a holster for a boys loaded gun to settle when he pleased, I didn't feel that way at all. I slipped my hands down his shirt towards his pants feeling him stiffen below me more, his hips shifting to work into myu hands, holding his breath as I moved over his stomach. I felt powerful more powerful then I ever had before. he sat up a little and recaptured my lips as I reached the buttons of his pants so I happily kissed back as I slowly undid them each button I unbuttoned caused his lips to somewhat quiver against my own until they where completely undone which caused a soft moan where his tight pants released. he pulled back a moment but only to push his own trousers down as well as his once white cotton underwear down with them, I couldn't help my curiosity moving back slightly to see his much paler hips and prominate V a gracing of hair not to dissimilar to his upper lip, light, thin and patchy to say the least. and of course what drew the most of my attention his hard cock stood tall clearly at the point it couldn't get any harder he smirked a little leaning on his elbows glancing down at himself

"My little cowgirl like the look of her ride?" he smirked

"Ummm humm" I nodded stroking my finger up the shaft testing just how far it was from his base to his tip thinking how exactly he would fit inside me,

"Ummm" He groans biting his bottom lip hard watching me hand

"I'm not hurting you am I whitey?" I asked

"No, ya good darlin' ya fine" he says quickly

"alright" I smiled giving his lips a kiss before then kissing down his neck a little

"Ummmm darlin', you're stallin'" he smirked leaning his head back to give me more space to kiss

"We'll I just want to prepare for my ride," I whispered moving down at first he seemed confused but I pressed a little kiss to his shaft and he froze up his whole body going tense for a second his eyes wide so I gave him another kiss, and then another peppering little kisses along his shaft when I glanced back up his head was rolled back his mouth open "should I?" I began

"Ya fine ya good." he quickly snapped

"well I don't want to keep stalling if your waiting whitey" I giggled licking from base to tip

"Ughh! no no take ya time darlin' I wanna make sure my little cowgirls ready for 'er ride" he smirked

"I was thinking more making sure he was ready for me," I cooed "I thought he could need a little more... lubrication before we start riding"

"Ya could be right darlin', he's gonna need a little more then that then" he smirked

"you think so?" I asked licking from base to tip again which made him physically shudder

"Ummm hummm" he nods biting hard on his lip trying not to moan "please"

"what?" I giggled

"Please darlin" he whines shifting his hips in his desperation I smiled giving his tip  a little kiss before I slowly took what I could into my mouth I couldn't take all of it in my mouth so I settled my hand below my mouth to pump up into my mouth as I gently licked and moved my head back and forth slowly of course given I was so new to this but I don't think he cared - "Uhhhh! uuughhh! uuughhhrrr!" moans tumbled from his lips like a waterfall his fingers gripping his sheets his head rolling back "Ughhh! fuck that feels so good" he groans unable to control his hips shifting and working with me which I took as a sign to speed up both my hand and my head gently suckling on him as I did which caused his eyes to roll back and sounds out of him like I'd never heard animalistic I suppose he gave up to trying to keep himself up laying down on his bed writhing with his sheets always in response to my movements and changes in speed or style, it was adorable watching him utterly loose himself his calm strong deminer disappeared completely as he was left utterly at the mercy of my tiny movements even just a flick of my tongue or a squeeze of my hand was enough to force noises and reactions out of him utterly reveling in my new found power. Until I think I hit a breaking point in him as he almost screamed "Y/n! Please! baby stop please! I'm gonna cum!"

I pulled back giggling "You've never called me that before?"

"You've never done that to me before" he gasps

"Alright" I smirked

"Oh fuck I'm already learnin' that looks bad with you" he says slightly scared I smiled and took his hand giving it a soft little kiss letting him settle his hand on my head to gently play with my hair which eh happily did knotting his fingers in my curls until I returned to him taking much more this time as I slowly worked out how to relax my throat allowing almost all of him inside my mouth which caused him to grip my hair slightly guiding me "ughhhhh! stop! stop please!" he begs even if his hand continued guiding me clearly at a point his body was doing one thing and his head another, his head desperate for us to finally make love after all this time but his body already caving in desperate for release, I moved back letting him breathe a little as I climbed out of bed "hey! where do ya think you're goin'" He smirked grabbing my arm

"Just getting comfortable to ride" I smiled unlacing my dress he egarly watched me undoing my dress letting it fall to the floor as well as unlacing my corset, and pushing off my little undergarment shorts leaving me in merely my white underdress and nothing else the dress thin and almost see though my nipples slightly poking though the top of the dress I hadn't noticed given I was battling my dress but he had grasped his erection slowly touching himself to the mere sight of me precum now leaking from his head I giggled and pinned up m hair "shall we?" I smiled

"Absoloutely darlin'" he smirked offering his hand so I took it and he helped me climb back into the bed and ontop of him I got settled on his thighs a moment my little dress around us "I'll guide ya at first okay?" He asks and I nodded "Good, go on then be my cute little cowgirl" he cooes rubbing his nose on my own he held my hips guiding them up and closer for a second one hand left to check himself was in the right position, I held his shoulders a little nervously unsure how it would feel "Okay, down just like a saddle" he says

"Aren't I usually trying to avoid sitting on the hard pointy things on my saddle"

"True" he chuckled I slowly moved down his hands often slightly adjusting my hips until I felt the pressure of his shift cock under me for a moment I moved my hips a little trying to find the sweet spot it being much further back then I thought making me lean almost completely on him before we found it and his tip slipped inside me enough to make us both freeze up a little "There we are," he cooes I held his shoulders tight as I slowly moved my hips lower and lower feeling each inch of him slip inside me until I hit his hips and thighs meaning he was completely inside me I could feel him throbbing inside me with his heartbeat, it felt strange but very pleasurable just having him fill a space I hadn't ever felt filled before. it took a solid minute of us both just getting settled and used to the new sensation before I began to move my hips as if I was riding a horse his hands softly guided me that way too back and forth in small hip movements until I got a stable pace "fuck- I've waited so long for this" he groans his hands moving from my hips to my ass stroking and groping me as I moved "Ummm we on a leisurely stroll baby?" he groans kissing my neck

"why?"

"I don't think either of us 'ave ever ridden this slow" he smirked

"if you want me to go faster just say that whitey" I giggled

"Alright, faster. Please baby" he cooes

I smirked and began moving much faster taking things at a pace that would pleasure me and clearly drove him crazy as he groped and kissed me intensely to hide his moans and groans of pleasure even if some still slipped through

"Fuck- Ughhhhhh! ughhhhh! y/n! Ughhhhhhh! you feel so good!"

"Whitey?"

"Ughhh yeah y/n?" he groans leaving hikis on my neck

"Does this-" I began moving up and down a little to slightly bounce as I ride

"UGHHHH! FUCK! Yes! yes, that's amazing!" he groans digging his nails into my ass helping to bounce me more now our pace rapid and merciless "Uuuuhhhh! uuugggggh! Please! Please... baby stop I'll-"

I immediately smirked getting a little faster and squeezing himself around him which made him moan "The cowgirl decides when we're done riding whitey. and not until" I smirked

"Y/n Ughhhhhh! please I'm so close" he groans "fuck I love ya so much"

"Ughh I love you too whitey" I groaned admittedly slowing down where I knew I was close too he even moved his own hips to work into my movements both of us groaning and moaning until I hit a wave of overwhelming pleasure that made he squeal pulling whitey's hair hard pulling him into my chest as my toes curled and my fingers gripped his hard hard "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Whitey!"

"Ughhhhh fuck! fuck fuck!" he groans against my skin collapsing against me for a moment I just gasped trying to think straight, once my mind returned I glanced down and noticed I'd kinda forced whitey's head into my breasts a little

"Ohh sorry whitey" I giggled letting go of him but he didn't move

"I'm fine" He smiled nuzzling himself there

"Get out of there you" I complained pulling him out "sorry"

"It's fine, ya don't ever need to apologize for forcin' me into your boobs it's not a problem."

"Are you okay? you want me to-"

"Ohh I kinda- when ya were screamin'" he smiled slowly pulling out "That was amazin' darlin'"

"it was, maybe I should steal your hat more often"

"You're more than welcome" he cooes peppering me with little kisses and making me giggle until he all out flipped us over into his bed so we could kiss and cuddle "Ummm I love ya so much, I wanna marry ya so badly"

"You're only sayin' that cause you finally got to have sex with me" "no I mean it, I wanted to marry ya before, now I know just how amazin' it is when we have sex." He cooes playing with my hair

"Sweet, You probably want me out the-"

The Benefits of Incorporating a Sugar Scrub into Your Skincare Routine

Sugar scrubs have gained popularity as a key step in many skincare routines, and for good reason. These natural exfoliants offer a range of benefits that go beyond just smoothing your skin. Let’s dive into why you should consider adding a sugar scrub to your skincare regimen.

1. Effective Exfoliation for Smoother Skin

One of the primary benefits of a sugar scrub is exfoliation. The fine granules of sugar gently slough off dead skin cells, helping to unclog pores and improve overall texture. This process not only leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth but also encourages the growth of fresh, healthy skin cells.

Regular exfoliation with a sugar scrub can prevent issues like ingrown hairs and dry patches, and even help reduce the appearance of acne by keeping pores clear.

2. Natural Hydration and Nourishment

Unlike harsh exfoliants, sugar scrubs are known for their moisturizing properties. Sugar is a natural humectant, which means it draws moisture from the environment into the skin, helping to keep it hydrated. Most sugar scrubs are infused with nourishing oils like coconut oil, almond oil, or jojoba oil, which deeply moisturize the skin as you exfoliate.

The combination of exfoliation and hydration helps restore the skin’s natural moisture barrier, making it ideal for those with dry or sensitive skin.

3. Improved Blood Circulation and Radiance

When you massage a sugar scrub onto your skin, it stimulates blood flow, enhancing circulation. This increased blood flow helps bring oxygen and nutrients to the skin’s surface, promoting a healthy, natural glow. Improved circulation can also lead to reduced swelling and puffiness, particularly around the face or delicate areas like the eyes.

Incorporating a sugar scrub into your routine before showering or during a bath allows you to enjoy these circulation-boosting benefits, leaving your skin looking vibrant and refreshed.

4. Brightens and Evens Out Skin Tone

Over time, dead skin buildup can lead to a dull complexion and uneven skin tone. Sugar scrubs help promote cell turnover, encouraging fresh, new skin cells to come to the surface. This process can diminish the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and blemishes, leaving your skin brighter and more even-toned.

For those looking to achieve a radiant complexion, using a sugar scrub 1-2 times per week can make a noticeable difference.

5. Gentle Enough for All Skin Types

One of the reasons sugar scrubs are so popular is that they are gentle on the skin. The granules are small and dissolve easily with water, making them less abrasive than other exfoliants like salt scrubs or walnut shell scrubs. This makes sugar scrubs a safe option for sensitive or delicate skin types.

By choosing a scrub with natural ingredients and oils, you can reduce the risk of irritation while enjoying the benefits of exfoliation and hydration.

6. Promotes Better Absorption of Skincare Products

Regular exfoliation with a sugar scrub removes dead skin cells that can create a barrier on the skin’s surface. By eliminating this buildup, your skin becomes more receptive to other skincare products. This means that moisturizers, serums, and oils can penetrate more effectively, maximizing their benefits.

If you’re investing in quality skincare products, using a sugar scrub helps ensure you’re getting the most out of them!

7. Reduces the Appearance of Cellulite and Blemishes

Massaging a sugar scrub into areas prone to cellulite can help improve circulation and tone the skin’s appearance. While it won’t eliminate cellulite completely, regular use of a scrub can temporarily reduce its appearance, making your skin look firmer and smoother. The hydrating oils in the scrub can also help reduce dryness and blemish scars over time.

8. Creates a Relaxing Self-Care Experience

Incorporating a sugar scrub into your skincare routine is more than just a physical benefit—it can also provide a relaxing self-care experience. The gentle massaging action combined with the pleasant scents of sugar scrubs (like lavender, citrus, or vanilla) can help relieve stress and tension.

Taking the time to care for your skin with a soothing sugar scrub can be a great way to unwind at the end of a long day or to rejuvenate yourself in the morning.

Tips for Using a Sugar Scrub

Don’t Overdo It: Limit exfoliation to 1-2 times per week to avoid irritation.

Moisturize Afterward: After using a sugar scrub, apply a rich moisturizer or body lotion to lock in the hydration.

Choose Quality Ingredients: Opt for sugar scrubs made with natural oils and free from artificial fragrances to avoid irritation.

Conclusion

A sugar scrub is a versatile and gentle skincare product that can transform your skin by providing exfoliation, hydration, and radiance. Whether you’re looking to brighten your complexion, even out your skin tone, or simply enjoy a luxurious self-care moment, incorporating a sugar scrub into your routine is a simple yet effective way to achieve smoother, healthier-looking skin.

Thus, a change in temperature can disrupt the body's functions and be detrimental to health. When the body's temperature rises when we exercise or are in hot environments, we sweat to enable our bodies to cool off. This sweating helps regulate our body's temperature, as the sweat evaporates, it lowers the skin temperature, and hence, the body temperature falls.

2.Eliminating Waste

Another important function of water is helping the body eliminate waste. Water makes up a significant component of various bodily fluids, including urine and stool. Water flushes out waste products, toxins, and unwanted metabolic by-products from the body through urine and stool. This helps keep our kidneys, bladder, and digestive system healthy and functioning appropriately.

3.Supporting Nutrient Transport

Water is important because it aids in nutrient transport. It is the primary component of blood, which moves nutrients and oxygen to the cells of the body. Water transports these nutrients while also removing waste and carbon dioxide, making sure our organs and tissues receive everything they need to function correctly.

4.Lubricating Joints and Tissues

Water is vital for the proper functioning of our muscles, joints, and tissues. It helps keep bones and joints lubricated, reducing friction and allowing us to move our joints more easily. Additionally, water helps maintain the elasticity of our tissues and joints, making them less prone to injury.

5.Reducing the Risk of Dehydration

Dehydration occurs when the body does not have enough water to function correctly. It is characterized by symptoms such as thirst, dry mouth, and fatigue, among others. Severe dehydration can be a life-threatening condition, and it is essential to prevent it by drinking enough water regularly.

6.Maintaining Healthy Skin

Water is essential to skin health. It keeps the skin hydrated, making it look and feel healthy. Adequate water intake helps prevent dry skin, acne, and other skin problems. Additionally, water helps the skin maintain an optimal pH balance, making it less prone to damage from environmental factors.

7.Supporting Cognitive Function

The brain is composed of approximately 80% water, making water intake essential to cognitive function. Water helps deliver oxygen to the brain, boosting focus and cognitive function. It also maintains the brain's structure and aids in the production of hormones and neurotransmitters.

8.Aiding Digestion

Water is necessary for proper digestion. Drinking water before and during meals helps the body break down food and absorb nutrients more efficiently. Additionally, water facilitates the movement of food through the digestive system, preventing constipation and other digestive problems.

9.Improving Exercise Performance

Water is essential during physical exercise, as it helps keep the body hydrated and maintain optimal performance. During exercise, the body generates heat and sweats to cool down. Drinking water before, during, and after exercise helps replace lost fluids, keeping the body hydrated and enhancing performance.

In conclusion, it is clear that water is essential to the human body's proper functioning. Its countless vital functions aid in maintaining our health and well-being, making consuming enough water per day an absolute necessity. Drinking at least eight glasses of water daily is essential for optimal health and wellness. With so many benefits of water, it is easy to see why it is the most essential nutrient for the human body.

any tips on how to feel more confident without makeup in the gym?? i want to work out but it gets so gross and i don't feel comfortable without it. ty!

Absolutely!

First and foremost, there's the reality of wearing makeup in the gym: women who wear makeup in the gym are a very small minority (at least where I'm from and work). In no way, shape, or form are you going to stand out for not wearing it there, and I mean that in a good way.

It's also good to recognize that it's healthier for your skin to be able to "breathe" without having product caked on when you're sweating. Sweating never feels great, but the feeling is dramatically improved by not wearing foundation and the like.

My recommendations, beyond just those points, are pretty straightforward and very much rooted in self-care.

Prioritize good hygiene. Keep your skin, clothes, and hair clean, and always make sure you pack an extra deodorant, extra (clean) pair of underwear if you're going to work out, and fresh socks. Personally I wash my hair every night (and it's very healthy with me having done so my whole life). If you're not an every-day washer, make sure you have dry shampoo and a brush in your bag. You can throw the dry shampoo and extra deodorant in a Ziploc bag in your gym bag just in case anything leaks/spills/etc. Maybe throw some mints into your gym bag in case you need to freshen up a bit. Always keep extra feminine hygiene products in your bag, too. Even if you never end up needing extras, there could be a sister who ends up needing one--that's happened numerous times and I've always been able to help someone out.

Prioritize skin care. Piggybacking off the good hygiene point, keeping your skin clean and protected absolutely helps you feel more confident in any setting without makeup. Wash your face (at least) morning and evening with your preferred face wash (I really like one with a slight salicylic acid in the morning and one with Benzoyl Peroxide at night to really kill the dead skin cells and bacteria--for the latter, I use PanOxyl for the latter). I use moisturizer and sunscreen every morning. Eye cream every night. I also use a retinol at night and a Vitamin C mask a couple times a week. Skin care's by far my biggest beauty investment, but it's not crazy by any means. Finding what works for you and just keeping clean, fresh, and protected from the sun will do the trick as long as you're consistent. That consistency not only helps your skin, but lets you feel better in it.

The healthier your skin, the less you'll even be tempted to think about how it looks.

Saying well-hydrated (drinking lots of water) also helps you look and feel fresh.

Wear clothing you're comfortable in. That looks different for everyone, especially in the gym. If that's a full workout outfit (cute items that all match and contribute to a specific look), that's great! If that's a t-shirt you don't mind sweating in and basketball shorts, that's great, too! If you don't feel comfortable in what you're wearing, then that discomfort is going to start drawing attention to other areas where you may not feel as secure. If you're doubting yourself or how you look without makeup, then the last thing you want to worry about is your body. You're there to be healthy, grow, feel and look stronger, and better yourself. So, spend some time considering those little things that make you less comfortable or even uncomfortable, and make adjustments to either eliminate them completely or improve them.

Keep up your activity level. Never let a day when you’re feeling more negatively towards yourself stop you from getting the exercise you came to do. If all you can do is get on the treadmill that day, then that’s still an accomplishment. You’re moving, and you’re giving yourself and your body the love it deserves.

Lean into no-makeup hacks. Doing little things like making sure your eyebrows are neatly kept and curling your eyelashes are tiny measures you can take that require no real extra time, and they make a world of difference. I always do both. If you want to wear small studded earrings--like tiny, simple gold/silver studs that won't get caught on anything, for example--that can also add some polish and femininity to your look. Tinted lip balm or subtle lip gloss can also enhance and freshen up the beautiful coloring and qualities you already have. Nails kept neatly trimmed is always a plus, and you can always add a neutral polish to elevate your look even more.

Like everything else, not wearing makeup takes practice. The more you go without, the easier it’ll become. You’ll start feeling more beautiful in your own skin, and in my experience, it starts becoming easier to see makeup as an optional tool to elevate the beauty you already have rather than “fixing” anything or “hiding” imperfections. None of us are perfect, and there’s no reason to pretend otherwise.

I hope this helps! Feel free to reach out with any other questions.

Acne or pimples are one of the most common skin conditions that occurs when hair follicles are clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Each hair follicle is connected to a sebaceous gland (oil glands), which produces an oily substance called sebum. Sebum can plug up hair follicles, causing the growth of a bacteria known as Propionibacterium acnes, which is normally present on the skin.

Acne can cause painful and generally occur on areas of the skin with a relatively high number of oil glands, including face, neck, back, shoulders, upper part of the chest and even arms.

How can I check if I am diabetic?

 

Diabetes is a chronic medical condition that occurs when your body is unable to properly regulate blood sugar levels. It is a serious and potentially life-threatening disease, but early diagnosis and treatment can help manage it effectively. Therefore, it is crucial to be aware of the early signs of diabetes. Here are ten signs that you should look out for:

Increased thirst: Feeling thirsty frequently is one of the most common symptoms of diabetes. As your body tries to flush out excess sugar through urine, it also eliminates fluids, leading to dehydration and increased thirst.

Frequent urination: When your blood sugar levels are high, your kidneys work harder to filter and absorb glucose, causing more frequent urination. This can also lead to an increased risk of urinary tract infections.

Extreme hunger: When your body can't use glucose effectively, it starts breaking down fat and muscle for energy, leading to hunger pangs even after eating.

Fatigue: If you are feeling unusually tired or lethargic, it could be a sign of diabetes. Your body is not able to use glucose effectively, so your cells don't get the energy they need.

Blurred vision: High blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels in your eyes, causing blurred vision or even blindness if left untreated.

Slow healing: If you notice that cuts or sores take longer than usual to heal, it could be a sign of diabetes. High blood sugar levels can damage nerves and blood vessels, making it harder for your body to heal wounds.

Numbness and tingling: Diabetes can cause nerve damage, leading to numbness and tingling sensations in your hands and feet.

Dry, itchy skin: High blood sugar levels can cause dryness and itchiness in your skin, as well as other skin conditions such as infections and slow healing wounds.

Recurring infections: High blood sugar levels can weaken your immune system, making you more susceptible to infections. Common infections include urinary tract infections, yeast infections, and skin infections.

Unexplained weight loss: If you are losing weight without trying, it could be a sign of diabetes. Your body is breaking down fat and muscle for energy because it cannot use glucose effectively.

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to see your doctor for a proper diagnosis. Diabetes is a serious medical condition that requires careful management to avoid complications. With proper treatment and lifestyle changes, people with diabetes can live full and healthy lives.

In conclusion, diabetes is a chronic medical condition that affects millions of people around the world. It is crucial to be aware of the early signs of diabetes to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment. If you notice any of the symptoms mentioned above, it is important to see your doctor right away. Remember, early detection and management can help prevent complications and ensure a healthier life

I'm going on a challenge where I will stop applying all product to my skin.

What? ✨ No more oils (which was what I normally used for moisturization. No more herbal steaming (I'll experiment and see just how effective it is by reintroducing it after this period). Only cleansing with my dead sea soap. And if I feel like it, "peel scrubs" (a simple "facial" I do where I rub organic fruit peels into my skin. Much more effective & clean than the citrus peel serums on the market).

Why? ✨ I've noticed much more hydration in my skin since eating a fresh fruit & veggies abundant diet. And I have noticed that many people stop needing to use moisturizer who do the same. I've been reasoning that this can make sense unless your climate is too harsh for average human survival, like places that are too icy cold or desert dry to be outside most hours of the day. Otherwise, the skin cells should be able to maintain adequate hydration. Also, skin is an elimination organ. It needs to expel waste material though it. So, clogging it up regularly, even with high quality oils, does not seem favorable. At least not as a blind ritual, with no assessment of how my skin is doing each day. I would think that there's maybe 3 or 4 months max in the year where I might need some extra help with hydration. A lot of signals about my diet & lifestyle have shown through my skin. But I have not always recognized them as the consequences of my diet & lifestyle. For example, salt clearly dehydrates the cells, and I hadn't had sea salt in a while, but the next morning I woke up with deep slits in my mouth's inner corners. Also, I just felt more dryness in my mouth. So, I want to be able to make more connections like that so I know how I can

How long? ✨ About 4 months! I've been trying this short term for a few weeks now. But there are days where I notice that my skin feels drier and I want to make sure there's hydration. Instead of oil as moisturization, I want to try the peel scrubs and/or cold pressed juice. But overall, I feel like going until September 1st (after then, I may try incorporating the herbal steams to deal with the chillier weather). Surprisingly, I've had no actual visual dryness except on my lips a few times (but lip dryness is so much rarer now). If I do, I want to not even feel ashamed of myself as we've been taught to be, it's simply skin which is showing poor hydration. I should just feel curiosity about how my body's current hydration needs. I do some lymphatic dry brushing & breathwork (less regularly these days though) but stuff like that which promote lymphatic flow can help with the hydration factor too. I can't forgot that piece.

I'm curious to see what happens. My skin does great in the warm months though. But then again, that was with facial products. But I expect this to be a very useful lifestyle change - just like cutting out conventional deodorant, hair relaxer, bras, thick soled shoes, refined foods, conventional shampoos & conditioners, synthetic cosmetics...those "hippie" things that make you notice we were just hurting ourselves because we were taught it was necessary or all you could manage to do. It's better to break out those paradigms by questioning and testing how true the claims are.

What Order Should I Follow for My Skin Care Routine?

Whether you want a simple 3-step routine for the morning or have time for a full 10-step regimen at night, the order in which you apply your products matters.

Why? There isn’t much point in having a skincare routine if your products don’t get a chance to penetrate your skin.

QUICK GUIDE

What should I use in the morning?

Morning skin care routines are all about prevention and protection. Your face is going to be exposed to the outside environment, so the necessary steps include moisturizer and sunscreen.

Step 1: Oil-based cleanser

What is it?  Cleansers come in two forms: water-based and oil-based. The latter is intended to dissolve oils produced by your skin. How to use it: Some oil-based cleansers are designed to work their magic on wet skin. Others are best on dry skin. Read the instructions before applying a small amount to your skin. Massage in and rinse thoroughly with water before drying with a clean towel.

Step 2: Water-based cleanser

What is it?  These cleansers primarily contain surfactants, which are ingredients that allow water to rinse away dirt and sweat. They can also remove the oils collected by an oil-based cleanser. How to use it: Massage into wet skin and rinse with water before drying.

Step 3: Toner or astringent

What is it?  Toners are designed to replenish skin through hydration and remove dead cells and dirt left behind after cleansing. An astringent is an alcohol-based product used to remove excess oil. How to use it: Straight after cleansing, either tap directly onto the skin or onto a cotton pad and swipe over the face in an outward motion.

Step 4: Antioxidant serum

What is it?  Serums contain a high concentration of certain ingredients. An antioxidant-based serum will protect skin against damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals. Vitamins C and E are common antioxidants used to improve texture and firmness. Others to look out for include green tea, resveratrol, and caffeine. How to use it: Pat a few drops onto your face and neck.

Step 5: Spot treatment

What is it?  If you have a blemish with a head, first look for an anti-inflammatory product to remove it, then turn to a spot-drying treatment to clear up the rest. Anything under the skin is classified as a cyst and will require a product that targets the infection on the inside. How to use it: Use a damp cotton swab to remove any skin care products from the spot. Apply a small amount of the treatment and leave to dry.

Step 6: Eye cream

What is it?  The skin around your eyes tends to be thinner and more sensitive. It’s also prone to signs of aging, including fine lines, puffiness, and darkness. A good eye cream can brighten, smooth, and firm up the area, but it won’t completely eliminate issues. How to use it: Dab a small amount onto the eye area using your ring finger.

Step 7: Lighter face oil

What is it?  The lighter the product, the earlier you should apply it. Easily absorbable oils are lightweight and should therefore come before moisturizer. They’re especially useful if your skin’s showing signs of dryness, flakiness, or dehydration. How to use it: Squeeze a few drops onto your fingertips. Rub them together gently to warm the oil before lightly dabbing onto your face.

Step 8: Moisturizer

What is it?  A moisturizer will soothe and soften skin. If you have a dry skin type, opt for a cream or balm. Thicker creams work best on normal or combination skin, and fluids and gels are recommended for oilier types. Effective ingredients include glycerine, ceramides, antioxidants, and peptides. How to use it: Take a slightly bigger than pea-sized amount and warm it in your hands. Apply to the cheeks first, then to the rest of the face using upward strokes.

Step 9: Heavier face oil

What is it?  Oils that take some time to absorb or simply feel thick fall into the heavy category. Best suited for dry skin types, these should be applied after moisturizer to seal in all the goodness. How to use it: Follow the same process as the lighter oil.

Step 10: Sunscreen

What is it?  Sunscreen is a critical final step in your morning skin care routine. Not only can it lower your risk of skin cancer, but it can also reduce signs of aging by blocking damaging UV light. The American Cancer SocietyTrusted Source recommends choosing a broad spectrum sunblock rated SPF 30 or higher that protects against UVA and UVB light. How to use it: Spread liberally over your face and massage in. Make sure to apply it 15 to 30 minutes before you go outside. Never apply skin care products on top, as this can dilute the sunscreen.

Step 11: Foundation or other base makeup

What is it?  If you want to wear makeup, a base layer will give you a smooth, even complexion. Opt for foundation — which comes in a cream, liquid, or powder form — or a lightweight tinted moisturizer or BB cream. How to use it: Use a brush or sponge to apply makeup. Start at the center of the face and blend outward. To seamlessly blend the edges, use a damp sponge.

What should I use at night?

Focus on repairing the damage done during the day with thicker products at night. This is also the time to use anything that makes skin sensitive to sunlight, including physical exfoliants and chemical peels.

Step 1: Oil-based makeup remover

What is it?  As well as dissolving the natural oils produced by your skin, an oil-based cleanser can break down oily ingredients found in makeup. How to use it: Follow the specific product instructions. They may advise you to apply the makeup remover on wet or dry skin. Once applied, massage in until skin is clean, then rinse with water.

Step 2: Water-based cleanser

What is it?  Water-based cleansers react with makeup and dirt on the skin in a way that allows everything to be rinsed away with water. How to use it: Follow the instructions. Usually, you’ll apply it to wet skin, massage in, and rinse off.

Step 3: Exfoliator or clay mask

What is it?  Exfoliation removes dead skin cells while clearing pores. Clay masks work to unclog pores, but can also absorb excess oil. These masks are best applied at night to remove leftover dirt and help the skin soak up other products. How to use it: Exfoliators have different application methods, so follow product instructions. For clay masks, once or twice per week, apply the mask all over or to specific problem areas. Leave on for the recommended time, then rinse with warm water and pat dry.

Step 4: Hydrating mist or toner

What is it?  A hydrating mist or toner marks the end of your nighttime cleansing routine. DermNet NZ says you should look out for humectant ingredients — lactic acid, hyaluronic acid, and glycerine — to really give skin a moisture boost. How to use it: Spritz mists over your face. For toners, apply the product to a cotton pad and swipe over the skin.

Step 5: Acid treatment

What is it?  Dousing your face in acid may sound scary, but this skin care treatment can encourage cell turnover. Beginners may want to try glycolic acid. Other options include acne-busting salicylic acid and moisturizing hyaluronic acid. Over time, you should notice a brighter and more even complexion. How to use it: Start once per week with the goal of using every night. Do a patch test at least 24 hours before first use. Add a few drops of the solution to a cotton pad and sweep across the face. Make sure to avoid the eye area.

Step 6: Serums and essences

What is it?  Serums deliver powerful ingredients directly to the skin. An essence is simply a watered-down version. Vitamin E is great for dry skin, while antioxidants like green tea extract can be used on dull complexions. If you’re prone to breakouts, try retinol or vitamin C. How to use it: Carry out a patch test 24 hours before using a new serum or essence. If skin looks good, dispense the product into your hand and press into your skin. You can layer multiple products. Just apply water-based ones before oil-based and wait around 30 seconds between each.

Step 7: Spot treatment

What is it?  Anti-inflammatory products are for blemishes with a head. Follow with a spot-drying treatment. Ones that dry visibly are great for nighttime use. How to use it: Make sure skin is clean. Apply a small amount of product and leave to dry. Skip this treatment if you're spot free.

Step 8: Hydrating serum or mask

What is it?  Some products can clog pores, but hydrating serums aren’t one of them. With the ability to pack a real moisture punch, they’re wonderful for dry skin. How to use it: These powerful hydrators can come in various forms. Some are serums. Others are thicker masks. And some are even designed to be left on overnight. If this is the case, apply it at the end of your routine. Just follow the instructions on the pack and you’re good to go.

Step 9: Eye cream

What is it?  A richer nighttime eye cream can help improve appearance-related issues, like tiredness and fine lines. Look for a high concentration of peptides and antioxidants. How to use it: Apply a small amount of cream to the eye area and dab in.

Step 10: Face oil

What is it?  A nighttime oil is great for dry or dehydrated skin. The evening is the best time to apply thicker oils that may result in an unwanted shiny complexion. How to use it: Pat a few drops into the skin. Make sure no other product is applied on top for the best results.

Step 11: Night cream or sleep mask

What is it?  Night creams are a totally optional last step, but they can be worthwhile. While day creams are designed to protect the skin, these rich moisturizers help cell repair. Sleep masks, on the other hand, seal in all your other products and contain hydrating ingredients mild enough to be kept on overnight. How to use it: Warm a small amount of product in your hands before distributing it evenly across your face.

Frequently asked questions

What routine should I follow for dry skin?

If your skin is dry, focus your routine on hydration and building a healthy skin barrier. Follow the steps above but swap out products that may be too harsh or acidic for those that add moisture to your skin and help it retain that moisture.

What is a basic skin care routine?

A basic skincare routine has fewer steps than an expanded one but keeps your skin clean and healthy. The steps can depend on your needs and the amount of time you have. Usually, a basic routine includes removing makeup, cleansing your face, applying a spot treatment for any blemishes, using sunblock during the day, and putting on moisturizer.

At what age should you start a skincare routine?

It’s never too early — or late — to start a skin care routine. Even kids can practice taking care of their skin by washing their faces when they wake up and before bed and applying sunscreen during the day.

But, choose the steps and specific products in your routine for your skin concerns and age. Adolescents, for example, may need a routine built on products to help manage blemishes and oily skin. Adults may focus more on products that support their skin as it ages. Build a routine that’s right for you.

The bottom line

Not everyone loves a 10-step routine, so don’t feel pressured to include every step in the above lists.

For many people, a good rule of thumb is to apply products thinnest to thickest — for however many products that may be — as they move through their skin care routines.

The most important thing is finding a skincare routine that works for you and that you’ll follow. Whether that involves the whole shebang or a simplified ritual, have fun experimenting.
