Understanding Cosmeceuticals and How to Incorporate Them into Your Skincare Routine 

Understanding Cosmeceuticals and How to Incorporate Them into Your Skincare Routine 

Over the past few years, more and more people are talking about cosmeceuticals in skincare. They're like a cool mix of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. But what do they really do, and how can they make your skincare routine better? Let's explore cosmeceuticals together to see how they can help your skin and how to use them easily every day. 

Cosmeceuticals: The Science Behind the Beauty 

Cosmeceuticals are a special type of skincare product that combines the best of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Unlike regular cosmetics, which mainly improve how your skin looks, cosmeceuticals do more by targeting specific concerns like wrinkles, acne, and dark spots. What makes them stand out is their formula, which includes scientifically proven ingredients such as retinoids, peptides, antioxidants, and exfoliants. These powerful ingredients work together to boost collagen, make your skin smoother, and reduce redness and irritation. They don't just work on the surface; they go deep into your skin to address underlying issues and make it healthier overall. That's why cosmeceuticals are so popular – they give you both therapeutic benefits and visible improvements in your skin's appearance. 

How to Incorporate Cosmeceuticals into Your Skincare Routine? 

Identify Your Skincare Concerns:

Before incorporating cosmeceuticals into your regimen, identify your primary skincare concerns. Whether you're battling acne, fine lines, or dullness, there's a cosmeceutical solution tailored to address your specific needs. 

Consult a Skincare Professional:

As there are lots of cosmeceutical products available in the market, seeking guidance from a skincare professional can help you navigate through the options and select the most suitable products for your skin type and concerns. 

Start with a Clean Canvas:

Begin your skincare routine with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and impurities from the skin's surface. A clean canvas ensures better absorption of cosmeceutical ingredients and maximizes their efficacy. 

Layer Strategically:

When using multiple cosmeceutical products, it's essential to layer them in the correct order to maximize their benefits. Start with lightweight formulations like serums, followed by heavier creams or lotions. 

Apply Sun Protection:

Many cosmeceutical ingredients, such as retinoids and AHAs, can increase photosensitivity, making sun protection a crucial step in your skincare routine. Opt for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to shield your skin from harmful UV rays. 

Be Patient and Consistent:

Achieving visible results with cosmeceuticals takes time and consistency. Incorporate them into your daily routine and stick to it religiously to experience the full benefits over time. 

In conclusion, cosmeceuticals offer a potent blend of science and skincare, providing targeted solutions for a wide range of skin concerns. By understanding their benefits and incorporating them into your skincare routine with care and consistency, you can unlock the secrets to healthier, more radiant skin.

Oh captain my captain! Hello, I've been awake a long time, like 3 days or smth, and I have gone down a rabbit hole that has lead to the question I have

So in a/b/o babies and children are usually referred to as pups, and less often as kits. Would an Australian version of this be joey? Goats are called kids, bears and wolves are cubs, foxes and cats and rabbits are kits. I'm guessing Australia would probably use one of those, bc reasons, but joey just sounds so funny to me and my coffee brain

Also sorry but you're the only Aussie I know of on tumblr

Anon this is so fucking funny. Australians aren't a different species. We have dogs and cats in this country too

Also have you seen what newborn joeys look like?

"thank you so much! lets hear it for my d-partner, gus forsling! woo!" *goose chants* "ekky you gotta get your cone" "WOO!" "classic classic"

how much chaos can you instil into a single 45 second clip

the hug and the way ekky slides his hands across his shoulderblades and followsthrough until his upper arm like he needs to soak in every single second of contact or that he shakes his shoulders and decides no i need more let me grab his wrist i NEED TO GRAB HIS WRIST i need to feel all full points of contact

also lol at goose trying to keep his modesty by adjusting the swedish flag to cover his nips oh honey we've seen it all already

ekky seemingly wanting to get one more extra pat in but forsy is already moving away so it just kinda dies midway through (sumn sumn million regrets sumn) ladies and gentlemen we've walked into a drama with the awkward boy next door whos the second male lead and more endearing than the actual main lead

and like an adonis himself the flag barely clings onto one shoulder and becomes more akin to a tunic wrap not unlike the exomis yeah

also ekky too enraptured in his publicly loving forsy activities and clapping that forsy has to point out to him to get his cone before it presumably becomes a tripping hazard before goldie does lmaoooo

he said okay alright shows OVER back to regularly scheduled programming thats enough school of harlotry for him thank you very much

Miss Heed And Dark Phantom Are More Similar Than I Think

On the surface, it would be crazy to think they would have anything in common until you examine them up close.

For one thing they both come from wealth and have nepo baby written all over them, which influences how they are as people. Due to their backgrounds they tend to be very spoiled and immature for their age. It's evident their privileged lifestyles has coddled them from real hardship. However, I do think one major difference is that Miss Heed is a case of spoiled brat who pretends to be nice while Dark Phantom is a case of spoiled sweet despite being a villain.

Despite in the present being a popular heroine under scrutiny, she like Dark Phantom was disdained among her peers. For Dark Phantom, it's usually due to him screwing things up and her it was because she was really obnoxious. As a result, both of them were/are considered outcasts among villains. This outcast status caused her to decide to switch sides to become more popular and get the attention she craved while Dark Phantom sticks to the villain side due to legacy and probably the thought never crossed his mind.

Also another thing I noticed between the two is the fact that both are very reliant on others to fight their own battles and barely have any fighting skills. This is especially true for Miss Heed who often tries to pretend on social media she is a physical fighter but in reality she uses her cronies to do the heavy lifting for her.

Dark Phantom and her also seems to overcompensate for their lack of natural talent like with Dark Phantom bragging about his legacy despite being an abysmal villain on his own while she outright lies and steals credit from others while passing it off as her work. Unlike Dark Phantom who doesn't hide his incompetence, she does everything she can to make her appear to be this mary sue type of villain who can win any battle and villain hearts while also being a beloved person part of the hero community.

What makes them differ is again how well they also treat their close friends. Despite being a proclaimed heroine, she in the past stole from her supposed friend Flug to become help her as a heroine. This is in contrast with Dark Phantom who didn't think much helping a friend out when she was a fugitive and on the run from that aforementioned Heed. Because as much as a villain he tries to live up to, he does have more moral traits than Heed does who uses the cover of a heroine to act shitty and have her actions be misconstrued as noble.

Ultimately I think both Dark Phantom and Miss Heed are kind of sort of two sides of the same coin. Dark Phantom is what would happen if that nepo baby still tried the villain path despite his lack of talent while Miss Heed is an example of forgoing the path to become a fake heroine while still having villainous traits. It does make them unintentional foils for each other and how in an AU both could have switched roles.

been reading some abo fics lately and i’ve been inspired by both my friends @mirrorworldangel and @muchmallows AUs for agegap Stancest (and i know i said i need to expand my horizons but y’all gonna have to suffer with me through this for a while more i’m so sorry)

Both of the teens surprising their parents by their classifications, Stan being an omega and Ford being an alpha. Both getting the brunt of their father’s expectations in the worst way possible, Ford being expected to act like the “man of the house” and “to man up”, Stan being belittled by his looks and his classification entirely - making him try harder to prove himself. Them having to survive school, these kids are suffering basically.

So Stan, who forced himself to get accustomed to people faking having interest in him and making jeers at him or how he doesn’t look like an omega, doesn’t even bat an eye when his physics teacher starts getting closer to him. He does feel annoyed sometimes at the lingering touches, the gifts that his teacher gets him (which started as a joke from him asking them, he definitely would try to do things to recompense the man cause he felt bad), when the man offers to tutor him, but he doesn’t mind as much when he scents him (for some reason, Crampelter doesn’t even breath in his direction when that happens).

Imagine his surprise when he’s ranting to Ford about this and he exasperatedly points out Forrester is GENUINELY courting him, not as a joke but serious. Kid is pissed and flustered at the man cuz he thinks he’s doing it as some kind of charity work or he wants to fuck him - and because he likes the thought of being bonded to the man… but just a little. Stan has Forrester doing the fucking olympics to prove that he DOES wants to bond with him, mark him and even have pups with him if he allows (Stan gets so baffled at that he only stares at the man,  stuttering and cheeks red at the serious confession). He’s still scrutinizing and hesitant at that, but he’s more… mellow towards it now (especially when they actually start to get to know each other, man’s a silver fox even Stan has to admit that).

Ford on the other hand is suffering at his brother’s crush (“i have him wrapped around my finger Sixer” when he’s giggling and kicking his legs while talking to the man on the phone) and his father’s never ending speeches. When he’s leaving school alone bc Stan decided to stay behind, he takes an aimless walk to the beach, walking so much he reaches the local port. There, he sets his eyes on what’s probably the coolest and most beautiful person he’s ever seen. An elderly omega with crinkled eyes and a soft smile at him, he can’t help but feel drawn to him, practically visiting him every day after school. 

Ford doesn’t even realize when he starts courting Pinington, it all just seems so natural to him that it’s only when he’s staring wide eyed at the ceiling that he realizes “omg i want to bond with him”. Stan makes so much fun of him when he finds out but he’s definitely supporting him and giving him tips (Ford refuses to use his pickup lines ever again because the last time he did Pinington laughed so hard he popped a joint). Plus, the man probably sees him as a kid, merely entertaining the idea until he actually realizes he’s serious about it. He tried to slowly become distant from Ford, a terrible mistake because this kid is STUBBORN he wants that old man.

Their parents notice their good moods and scents immediately, Stan smelling more of earthy tones, gunpowder and beeswax; Ford smelling like seasalt water, burnt toffee and citrusy beer. Caryn is over the moon that her babies may have found their mates, Filbrick… is getting there (he hopes Stan marries so he can finally leave the house, he expects Ford not to be distracted with his little fling). The kids at their school are equally surprised. Crampelter makes fun that Ford is with a dried up omega (which has Ford ”””accidentally””” spilling sulphuric acid in his direction) and Stan being nothing but a fat hole (which has him beaten up out of school grounds, Stan might’ve yelled back at him but Forrester didn’t take it lightly).

And when the end of the year arrives, Stan’s practically vibrating at the thought of moving away with Forrester, constantly running a hand over the bite mark in his neck after his father begrudgingly approved their marriage (Forrester definitely threatened him, Stan made his life hell when he showed the slightest hint of refusal). Ford’s delighted to go to college, but the thought of leaving his beloved gives him mixed thoughts. Ford spent the few days before he had to go to college with Pinington, scenting and nuzzling the omega constantly, promising him that once he finishes he’ll come back for him. Cue to Ford almost bringing Pinington and Stan to the ground after tackling them in a hug in his graduation, Forrester just watching near with a fond smile <3 <3

Jubilee’s Halloween Nightmare

Jubilee wakes up from her nap on the sofa only to find that her friends had left her after watching a horror movie marathon. Jubilee (Jubilation Lee) searches for her friends in the mansion when she sees the X-Villains dressed as slasher villains. They have come to kill not only Jubilee, but also her friends as well. Husk (Paige Guthrie) is killed by Bastion dressed as Norman Bates of Psycho, who used a bomb since his knife could not stab her. Next, Jubilee and Skin (Angelo Espinosa) are terrorized by Sabretooth dressed as Freddy Krueger of Nightmare on Elm Street. Both Skin and Monet St Croix get mauled to death by Krueger-Sabretooth while Jubilee runs for her life. Penance manages to take down Krueger-Sabretooth but she gets axed by Omega Red dressed as Michael Myers of Halloween. Jubilee runs again only to bump into Chamber (Jonothon Starsmore) who blasts at Myers-Omega Red but the latter (Myers-Omega Red) doesn't die easily so he takes the axe. Then, Jubilee tries to hide into the kitchen where Synch (Everett Thomas) is preparing his midnight snack. Moments later, both Jubilee and Synch are terrorized by Myers-Omega Red and Emplate dressed as Leatherface of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. With her friends dead, Jubilee is left alone and surrounded by the X-Villains who are ready to kill her.

However, it turned out to be a nightmare as Jubilee fell asleep from watching the movies and her friends were playing their practical joke on her. Needless to say, Jubilee is not amused from seeing the masks behind her friends' backs.
