Yo I love your work.. anyway can I request Val x Fem Reader when Reader is on their period and the rest is up to you (I’ll cry if you actually notice)

Hi Friend,

Thank you for sending in your request! I always notice and read a request- sometimes it just takes time for my brain to buzz.

Now I have written this before. The link is here:

Valentino x Reader (Period Pains)

That being said….

Here is another version! Think OTO reader and Val after they’re married. 

<3 Mandy

The bright red stains on my favorite pajama pants began the start of that cursed day. It was going to be one of those mornings that lasted all day. 

It didn’t help that I woke up alone, my husband off to do whatever it was he did in his studio. Vox and Velvette were working and me? I was by myself. Which, as I poured myself a cup of coffee and stirred in my creamer, I figured was better that way. 

I lifted the mug to my lips and took the first sip of what should have been a heavenly experience. Instead, I was met with the bitter taste of peppermint.  I spat it into the sink and went to set my mug down. Somehow I missed the counter and shards of ceramic splatted the floor. 

“Fuck!” I yelled across the empty flat. I grabbed a roll of paper towels and cleaned up the mess as quickly as I could, tossing the shards into the garbage. Housekeeping would be up later, but with how the day was already turning out, I didn’t want to risk stepping on a rouge shard. 

“Who the fuck puts peppermint into their coffee without mocha?” I growled aloud as I shoved the creamer back in the fridge. 

Of course, I knew the answer was Vox. As much as he pretended he only drank black coffee, those of us who lived with him knew his guilty pleasure. Random flavored coffee creamers that appeared in the fridge each time it was restocked. It was just my bad luck that I had grabbed the wrong one this morning. 

Shoving the thought of making another cup of coffee to the side, I jumped into the shower, willing the hot water to take away the cramps that slowly awakened with each movement of the day. Fuck, there were some days I hated being a girl. 

But, like all women, being on our period wasn’t an excuse to miss work. Going to see Velvette in her studio was always an option, but just the thought of being touched by another being made me annoyed. I gingerly dressed myself and pulled my hair up into a bun. Staring at my reflection in the mirror, I grumbled as I tried to hide the tiny whiteheads that appeared overnight with a strong dose of foundation. 

“Okay, I can do this,” I said to my reflection as I swallowed down several advil. “I got this.” 

Ten hours, eighteen phone calls and one ruined pair of underpants later, I stormed back upstairs to our apartment. 

“Babygirl, you’re home late,” Valentino’s voice rang out.

“I know, fuck,” I snapped without thought. The cramps, masked by the Advil I had taken this morning, left me both nauseous and crabby.  Every part of my body ached, and I could feel a headache starting to brew. I slammed the door behind me as I stripped off my outfit for the day. 

The bright red bloodstain on the back of my dress. I stared at it and without really knowing why, I burst into tears in the middle of my room. 

“Bebita?” Valentino’s voice came quietly from behind me. 

I felt him tug the dress from my hand and he wrapped his arms around me. I didn’t have to say a thing and instead laid my head on his chest as I sobbed. 

“Nothing a little stain remover can’t take out,” he said soothingly. “It’s alright. Why don’t you get in the shower? I’ll get your pjs and…”

“My two favorite ones are wrecked,” I choked out softly. “I bled all over the ones this morning, and my backups have a hole in them and…”

He pressed a finger to my lip and kissed my forehead. “Just let me figure it out while you go shower, okay?” 

There was something about he way he said it that left me with a feeling of comfort. I disappeared into the shower and by the time I came out, he was leaning against the bathroom sink, waiting. He handed me a towel and watched as I wrapped it around myself. 

“I have a heating pad and a cup of tea ready for you in bed. Toast, if you’re hungry. Advil if you want it. And if you’re in the mood to cuddle, I’m here. If not, I can stay with you or give you space. Remote is yours either way.” He pointed to a pile of clothes. “Period underpants. Vel sent them up. And…wear my pjs tonight. They’ll be looser than anything you own.” 

“Thanks, Val,” I said softly. “I’m sorry I was such a bitch when I came in.”

He cracked a smile. “Mi amore, I don’t think you know the true meaning of that word. Come on out when you’re ready.” 

I watched the door close behind me and got dressed in the outfit he left for me. I settled into bed next to him and sipped the warm tea. 

“I love you Val,” I said after a few moments. 

“I love you too, bebita. Even when you’re cranky,” he replied lightly. “And I always will.”

how to reduce acne (and what is acne)

acne is a skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. it typically results in whiteheads, blackheads or pimples that can appear on the face, forehead, chest, upper back and shoulders. acne is most prevalent among teens but can affect people of all ages. several factors contribute to acne, such as excess oil production, buildup of dead skin cells, bacterial growth and inflammation.

acne is not inherently 'bad' but it is a source of discomfort for many people. while acne itself is not a bad thing, it can lead to potential complications if not managed properly, such as scarring or emotional distress.

when reading this post, it is important to remember that everyone's skin is different and what works for one person may not work for another. i'd like to add that i am not a dermatologist, and this post is written with my own experience in mind as well as research online.

reducing acne involves a combination of skincare practices and lifestyle adjustments. here are some recommended actions:

properly wash your face cleanse your face twice daily to remove excess oil, sweat and dirt. some common face washing mistakes include using the wrong cleanser, over-washing your face, under-washing your face, the wrong water temperature and using a dirty washcloth. don't worry if this all seems confusing, here's a post on how to properly wash your face.

know your skin type use products suitable for your skin type only--oily, dry, combination or sensitive. you can find this out by visiting a dermatologist or (alternatively) researching the skin types and seeing which best matches your skin.

moisturise moisturiser curbs dryness, which balances oil production in your face and therefore helps to prevent acne. choose a non-comedogenic moisturiser to not clog your pores.

consider over-the-counter treatments think about acne treatments with ingredients like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid.

stay hydrated drink plenty of water to maintain skin hydration. good hydration helps to maintain skin elasticity, supports the skin's protective functions and prevents sunburn, sensitivity and oiliness. women should drink about 2.7L of fluids every day (including water, other beverages and food).

limit makeup use minimal makeup and ensure that it is non-comedogenic. don't stop wearing makeup if it is something you enjoy, however, try to limit it in acne-strong areas.

don't touch your face this is a big one, and yet so many people do it. keep your hands away from your face to prevent the spread of bacteria. seriously, you use your hands for so much--you don't want the germs of everything you've touched on your face.

limit sun exposure protect your skin with appropriate sunscreen. and remember to re-apply! limiting sun exposure also reduces skin cancer risk. balance is key, though, because the sun is necessary for vitamin d production and maintaining circadian rhythms.

exercise regularly physical activity can help reduce stress, which may contribute to acne.

enjoy a healthy diet eating a well-balanced diet can support skin health. consider reducing dairy and high glycemic foods. a diet with a low glycemic index may help balance hormone levels, which is the same effect when insulin spikes occur less. essential nutrients promote skin health and help to repair and maintain the skin barrier.

invest in stress management find ways to reduce stress, such as journaling or going for a walk. stress can worsen acne. this is because, under stress, the body's healing process slows down, meaning acne can take longer to heal and become more severe. stress hormones can also increase oil production, leading to clogged pores.

Partly based on both Alien and The Last of Us. Following a previous draft where everyone makes it to Jupiter, but their end goal is Europa, much like the Tsien. Instead of finding mostly harmless creatures from the depths, they instead find vicious parasites that feed off of other organisms. This won’t end well...

—

It had been decided, long before they reached their destination, that only two of the five astronauts would make the first landing on Europa. Whitehead and Poole, as a geophysicist and a biologist, respectively, were to take a pod to the surface of the icy moon and send observations to the others.

It had been going well. Frank had been ecstatic. But when something broke through the ice, a creature beyond imagination, he found he couldn’t leave fast enough.

“Something’s just broken through the ice!” He shouted.

There was a buzz on the other end of the line, the other three and Hal all clamouring for answers. What did it look like? What was it doing? Was he far enough away to observe it safely or should they prepare for his return?

As if in slow motion, Frank watched as the giant, tentacled, sharp-toothed monster bit into his coworker. Whitehead twitched and struggled, ragged breathing the only sound he could make.

Frank was close to the pod still, and had it open in record time. He looked back to see if Peter could be saved, and saw that the other had miraculously fought his way out of the killer’s grasp.

Whitehead stumbled to the pod as the creature disappeared beneath the freezing water again, and Frank rushed to help him aboard. He lifted off as fast as possible, simultaneously repressurizing the pod and guiding it back to the Discovery.

—

“I’m going to try to remove it.”

The whole crew was gathered round the table in the pod bay, where Frank had made a makeshift surgical suite.

What he had thought were teeth were actually some kind of toxic barb, and Whitehead had been covered in them. If it wasn’t the slow depressurization of his suit that killed him on the way back, it was whatever the mystery substance those monsters had injected him with.

There was also the issue of a leech-like creature, a living part of the bigger animal, stuck to the dead astronaut’s neck. Before they froze his body, they’d try to remove the little sucker and study it… and hopefully bring it back home if it survived long enough.

“One, two-!”

Frank pulled, gloved hands slick with something, and wrenched the leech from its host. There was a spurt of blood, and the thing wailed and flung itself around, trying desperately to hang on to something living.

“Get that thing away from me!” Jack yelped. He jumped back, accidentally shoving Victor closer. It swiped at him, unable to hang on but succeeding in drawing blood. It then turned back to gnawing on the big rubber gloves that surrounded it.

While Hal kept a constant feed of the ship stored in its expanding memory there were few times he was actually requested to archive footage. In this case he was asked to isolate the feed in the makeshift surgical suite and record. It would make writing the account easier and serve as an appropriate backup in case the specimen was lost.

Hal himself was morbidly optimistic about the creature, its slug like form fascinated him greatly. While the dead of the astronaut greatly upset him he thought better of it- it was not for nothing as his body had brought back a being of great study.

Dave did not share in the computers optimism. He stuck to the middle of the small group collected about the table with his arms crossed firmly across his chest. He did not like the idea of any of them being close to it. Of it being on the ship at all. While they had the means to contain it the prospect of unknown life was not as promising as he had thought it to be back on earth.

It happened fast. Blood. Hands and the gnashing of teeth.

“Shit!”

He gripped Jack by the back of his neck shoving him off to the side of the room, choking on his curses. He turns- Victors bleeding but the bite isn’t as notable as the hole bore into the neck of Whitehead.

“Kimball- your mess. You bandage. Measure first.”He shoved bandages and a camera into the man’s hands, ignoring how they trembled.

The creature thrashed against its rubber prison mindlessly. Unable to last without a host the leech shriveled within minutes of detachment, the exact timing of which recorded by Hal.

“Do you think you can get your information out of that thing?”

Prepared for the idea of alien life but not the hostility of it. There were no defenses and no reason to return to the icy moon. They’d have to be satisfied with what they had.

BTS Jeon Jungkook 2023 - 2024 Reading

Health

Jungkook will try to focus on improving his health, but it will be difficult for him to break some bad habits. For example, he still has difficulty sleeping early. Sleep is a challenge for him and has been for many years. He may be relying on unhealthy methods to cope with not being able to sleep or to try to induce sleep. His diet can also be a challenge for him. It's hard for him to resist unhealthy snacks like ramen or chips or ice cream. He can sometimes use shortcuts to achieve the body/weight that he'd like, which will not be healthy for him in the long run. He's also the type to take supplements from time to time but then forget to take them after a while.

His shoulders and neck are particularly tenses these days. The bottom of his feet also are painful/sore. He has been dancing more these days and trying to bulk up. Jungkook has some digestion problems, possibly an inability to absorb some nutrients or inability to digest some food properly. This leads him to often have diarrhea or gas or stomach pain. He can also suffer from constipation when he avoids eating his vegetables. His sugar levels are also quite high as he consumes a lot of sugar-related products. He may have some chances of suffering from diabetes and also has chances of suffering from hormonal imbalances, causing acne to often develop. Jungkook's skin condition, while improving, will continue to be a concern for him. It's very easy for him to develop acne and whiteheads.

Jungkook sometimes has an issue with indulging in specific things of too extreme. For example when he gets obsessed with a type of food, he can keep eating it over and over again. He also can have trouble with drinking or overindulging in certain unhealthy things. His liver is not very good, so he should be careful.

His throat too is weak; there is a lot of strain on his throat. He can often suffer from sore throats or coughs. Some bad habits have also caused him to have these throat problems. He may possibly need to remove some part around his throat area in the future.

Love

Jungkook is most likely casually dating these days. He is not settled with someone in particular and prefers to explore his options. Jungkook is no longer that "innocent boy" that people think he is. He is more well-versed in love than what some fans may think. Jungkook is experimenting in love, meeting different people through his friends or network. He wants to try many dates or meetings. He's not interested in a long term relationship at this very moment.

Jungkook has a few people that he consistently sees but it doesn't mean he's exclusive to them. Some of these people understand that this is an open situation but others do not. This is where he will likely run into trouble, as some people expect full commitment from him. This is particularly difficult for Jungkook, especially given his current schedule overseas/his album promotions.

Jungkook isn't the type to baby/spoil/handhold someone. He's there for the fun/thrill/excitement and the wildness. If his partner can't keep up with his energy or need for thrill/fun, they will not get along. If his partner needs him to spoil or baby them, they will not work out in the long term.

Some of these people that he has casually seen/dated/met will find ways to try to spill the beans on Jungkook when they don't receive the love/attention that they want from him. They may leak intimate details about the relationship to the press/social media or even host some live to talk about an "idol" without dropping his name. They may also blackmail Jungkook and ask him to pay up. If he doesn't pay them, they will spill everything to the public, including photos/videos.

Friendship

Jealousy from others is on the horizon. A lot of Jungkook's so called friends are very jealous of him and will try to ruin his career in some way. Some of his closest/best friends will become so jealous of Jungkook that they will even sell his information to ssngs or the media or suggest Jungkook to do something that's not in his best interest.

Jungkook may also suffer from some trickery from some superiors. He will naively believe in them and later realize that he was scammed/used in the process.

Jungkook may also experience some backlash for hanging out with some people that the public find questionable. Some of his friends may also get into trouble/hot waters, which ends up dragging Jungkook into the mix.

Medical Fun

For two weeks I noticed a sore spot on my lower back when sitting. It was a growth/lump that had been there for years. I was told last year by a dermatologist that it was likely a cyst or lipoma. It didn't hurt then, so I left it alone.

By last week it was getting annoying, red and irritated, and made sitting uncomfortable, so I went to a doctor. He said it was likely a cyst or lipoma and wrote me a referral for surgical removal. That day I scheduled an in office appointment for this Friday to get the thing taken out.

Cut to this weekend: it gets more irritated and a whitehead develops. On Sunday night the whitehead pops on its own (I swear I didn't pop it on purpose.) It seemed okay overnight but when I woke up it started weeping heavily. Very stinky, yellow and red pus and blood.

I called the Urgency Room, scheduled an appointment and drove myself there. If ydk, Urgency Room is like a mini hospital that handles minor injuries and illnesses that fall between urgent care and full on hospitalization. The staff was very polite and helpful. There's pop music piped in overhead. Not loud, just noticable.

The Urgency Room Doctor said it was a cyst. They numbed me up with some lidocaine and tried to remove as much bacterial slop from the hole in my back as possible. That hurt like fuxking hell. I yelled and swore the whole time. Then they packed the hole and gave me a painful saline shot for all the naughty swears and blasphemous curses uttered.

I got some antibiotics at the pharmacy and have been resting today with Samus. She's a good nurse, except when her solution to a problem is biting.

I'm still going to get the growth removed on Friday, unless anything else fun pops up.

So yeah, that's been the last few weeks.

HEADCANONS

“I didn't think I would see you here. '' You commented as you saw Dazai travelling in the same metro train as yours. You worked at the bakery when you first met Dazai. Generally, you wouldn't even remember people’s faces, considering the amount of customers you had per day, but you quite had grown fond of him and a whitehead named Atsushi, from whom you learned that their superior really liked your bakery goods, indicating why they frequently visit.

“Why? Can a commoner like me not ride the metro your majesty?” Dazai replied, half smirking while bowing down a little to mock you. 

Before you could reply back, the door opened, indicating your station had arrived. You walked outside the station,  towards the ramen shop that stood new as ever, the air filled with nothing but the spices that were yet to be tasted. 

“Oh so this is the infamous ramen shop of Yokohama” Dazai spoke from behind, surprising you as you accidentally threw a punch on his jawline, almost dislocating it.

“Woah Woah, now I would like to die, but can we make it painless?” Dazai exclaimed as he dusted off his clothes, while laughing a little.

“You shouldn't even start on that topic you know?”

You remembered how he first interacted as he took your hand complimenting you and asking you to have a self-homicide with him to with you had unfortunately replied with ‘ I am sorry but I can only provide you with bakery goods here’

“Why belladonna? Do you care?” Dazai dramatically exclaims, as you order food from the waitress who sent a really dirty look upon seeing Dazai’s behaviour.

“Yeah I do” You replied smiling a little, as the food arrived at the table. 

"Wait for me," You said as you went to get drinks from the bar-like structure of the ramen shop, "You cant have ramen without tasting this beauty"

Dazai stares at you and laugh immediately, as he took the glass, holding it high as if sharing a toast.

"To the first time" "I suppose"

Almost immediately, you and him dug in, the food made in heaven. “I didn't knew the food here was this good,” Dazai exclaims, as he proceeded to remove his hair from his eyes, the same eyes that could make any woman fell for him….or at least he thought, “Well thanks for the meal Y/N” And with that, he immediately started to slip and run away whereas you sat, seeing the bill that was yet to be paid.

Almost like that, you ran after him paying the bill but he was nowhere to be found.

'Great I lost him' you thought as walk down the streets of your city. Suddenly you stop yourself, as you stood at front of a cemetery, which was situated near the river. Was this even here? 'I think i took a wrong turn'

Almost as you were turning yourself away, a arm grabbed you shoulders to which you were about to scream when another arm went over you mouth, muffing your so called screams.

"Now now, let the dead rest shall we? You can scream all you want on my bed"

Almost that instance, your leg went away where the sun didn't shine. "My my, we are getting a little to much feisty are we?"

"DAZAI STOP SCARING ME LIKE THAT" You yelled whispering, as both of you walked away from the cemetery. Dazai hand slipped onto yours, as you looked down to hold his hand, carefully intervening your fingers with his as you smiled as it, lipsing a 'are you okay?' to which he responded with a forehead kiss, caughting you off-guard by surprise as you both once again stood in front of the metro station.

"To say Dazai, aren't you a sly fox?"

"So is your ability, belladonna" Dazai stated, as he entered the metro, "I would like to see how compatible we are, after all you plain to poison me yet again isn't it officer Y/N L/N?" with a little bow and a smirk on his face, the metro doors close and you stood there staring at his moving figure.

Just a nod and smiling, you waved him off, not as the member of hunting dog, but as Y/N L/N the baker he knew.

hi there, dw i got your request and yes loved the clouds indeed. dw! English isnt my native language either :D

i just know rook is an odontophiliac who loves exploring your teeth. feeling every groove with his fingers, licking them, even biting them. he also gets super turned on looking at and feeling the teeth marks you leave on his skin after biting him.

while he’s mostly obsessed with your teeth there is a part of him that likes the idea of you being turned on by his. rook’s transfer to pomefiore showed a shift where rook started to believe he could be just as interesting and beautiful as those he loved to observe, so he is delighted any time you want to study him in some manner. i think he would like having you use a dental gag on him (like whitehead or jennings)

also if we were to venture into gore i think he would for sure want to try removing teeth. personally i think rook would be the masochist in that situation having some teeth removed by you. butttt i do see yandere!rook unable to resist taking a tooth from you for his lil collection

What is Salicylic Acid

Let's have a Detailed discussion on salicylic acid

The Wonders of Salicylic Acid: A Comprehensive Guide for Clearer, Healthier Skin

Salicylic acid is a popular ingredient in skincare, especially known for its effectiveness in treating acne and exfoliating skin. But what exactly is it, and how does it work? In this blog, we’ll dive into the science behind salicylic acid, explore its many uses, and give you tips on how to incorporate it safely into your skincare routine.

What is Salicylic Acid?

Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) derived from willow bark. Unlike alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), which are water-soluble, salicylic acid is oil-soluble. This solubility allows it to penetrate the lipid layers of the skin, reaching deep into pores to dissolve sebum and dead skin cells. This ability to clear out clogged pores makes it an essential ingredient in acne treatments and exfoliating products.

How Does Salicylic Acid Work?

Salicylic acid works by :

- Exfoliating the Skin: It breaks down the bonds between dead skin cells, helping to remove them from the surface and prevent clogged pores.

- Deeply Penetrating Pores : Being oil-soluble, salicylic acid can dissolve into sebum (oil), helping to clear out pores and reduce blackheads and whiteheads.

- Reducing Inflammation : Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, salicylic acid can soothe the redness and irritation associated with acne, making it a great choice for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin.

Benefits of Salicylic Acid for Skin

1. Acne Treatment : Salicylic acid is highly effective for treating mild to moderate acne. It can prevent future breakouts by keeping pores clear and helping to reduce excess oil.

2. Exfoliation : Regular use of salicylic acid promotes gentle exfoliation, which helps to even out skin tone and improve texture. It can minimize the appearance of fine lines and create a smoother, more radiant complexion.

3. Blackhead and Whitehead Removal : Salicylic acid’s ability to penetrate pores makes it excellent for treating blackheads and whiteheads, as it helps to remove blockages from within the pore.

4. Oil Control : By breaking down sebum, salicylic acid helps control excess oil production, making it ideal for those with oily or combination skin.

5. Reducing Inflammation : Its anti-inflammatory effects make it an effective ingredient for calming irritated, red, or inflamed skin.

Common Uses of Salicylic Acid in Skincare

1. Cleansers : Salicylic acid cleansers are gentle, making them suitable for daily use. They help keep pores clean without overly drying out the skin.

2. Toners : Salicylic acid toners add an extra layer of treatment after cleansing, helping to refine pores and balance oil levels.

3. Serums : Higher concentrations of salicylic acid are often found in serums for targeted acne treatment, especially effective on blackheads and whiteheads.

4. Spot Treatments : For stubborn blemishes, salicylic acid spot treatments can reduce inflammation and speed up healing.

5. Exfoliating Masks and Pads: Many brands offer masks or pads infused with salicylic acid to exfoliate and clarify the skin. These can be used weekly for a deeper treatment.

Who Can Benefit Most from Salicylic Acid?

Salicylic acid is most beneficial for people with:

- Oily and Combination Skin : Because it helps regulate sebum production.

- Acne-Prone Skin : Due to its ability to clear pores and reduce breakouts.

- Blackheads and Whiteheads : Its deep-penetrating properties make it ideal for unclogging pores.

However, those with dry or sensitive skin should use it cautiously, as it may lead to dryness or irritation if overused.

How to Use Salicylic Acid in Your Routine

1. Start Slowly : Begin with a lower concentration (0.5-2%) and gradually build up tolerance. Overuse can lead to irritation.

2. Patch Test : Before using a new salicylic acid product, test it on a small patch of skin to check for any adverse reactions.

3. Apply Once a Day : For most skin types, once-daily application is enough. Using it more frequently can lead to excessive dryness.

4. Follow Up with Moisturizer 🧴 🍦: Salicylic acid can be drying, so it’s essential to keep your skin hydrated with a non-comedogenic moisturizer.

5. Use Sunscreen ☀️ 🏖️ 🧴: Salicylic acid can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun, so always wear sunscreen during the day to prevent UV damage.

Potential Side Effects and Precautions

While salicylic acid is generally safe, it can cause dryness, irritation, or peeling, especially if you’re using high concentrations or applying it too frequently. Here are some precautions to take:

- Avoid Overuse : Using too much salicylic acid can damage the skin barrier and lead to redness and irritation.

- Do Not Combine with Strong Exfoliants : Avoid using salicylic acid with other strong acids (like AHAs) or retinoids, as this can increase irritation.

- Be Cautious with Sensitive Skin : If you have sensitive skin, start with products containing a lower concentration of salicylic acid or consider using it every other day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Salicylic Acid

1. How long does it take to see results with salicylic acid?

It can take 2 to 4 weeks to see noticeable results, as the acid works gradually to clear pores and reduce acne. Consistency is key, so stick with it.

2. Can I use salicylic acid with other skincare ingredients?

Yes, salicylic acid pairs well with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and soothing agents like niacinamide. However, avoid combining it with other strong exfoliants to minimize irritation.

3. Is salicylic acid safe for daily use?

Yes, salicylic acid is safe for daily use at lower concentrations (0.5-2%), though starting with a few times a week may help prevent irritation as your skin adjusts.

4. Should I use salicylic acid if I have dry skin?

Those with dry skin should use it sparingly and follow up with a hydrating moisturizer. You may also consider using it just once or twice a week to avoid excessive dryness.

Conclusion: Embrace the Power of Salicylic Acid

Salicylic acid is a fantastic ingredient for anyone looking to improve their skin’s clarity and texture, especially for those prone to acne or oily skin. By understanding its properties and using it wisely, you can achieve smoother, clearer skin with a healthy glow. Remember to introduce it gradually into your skincare routine, pair it with hydrating ingredients, and always protect your skin with sunscreen. Embrace the science behind skincare, and let salicylic acid work its magic for a clearer, more radiant complexion.

Salicylic Acid: What Is It?

Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that dissolves dead skin cells and excess oil by penetrating deeply into the pores. It is renowned for:

minimising whiteheads and blackheads

cleaning the pores to prevent acne outbreaks by exfoliating the outermost layer of skin

Retinol: What Is It?

One type of vitamin A called Retinol speeds up the turnover of skin cells to show smoother, more youthful-looking skin. It supports:

wrinkles and fine lines

Over Pigmentation

enhancing the texture of the skin

Salicylic acid vs. retinol for acne

You probably want the best components in your skincare arsenal if you’re struggling with the ups and downs of adult acne: Salicylic Acid is one of acne’s worst foes, and Retinol is the gold standard for minimising the look of skin ageing, particularly the scars left behind by breakouts. Theoretically, this dynamic pair is all you need to overcome adult acne. However, when combined, typical Retinol and Salicylic Acid solutions can irritate the skin, weakening the skin’s protective layer and impeding your progress towards cleaner skin.

What skin benefits does salicylic acid offer?

Salicylic acid, the most widely used BHA, was initially made from willow tree bark. Because it is an oil-soluble exfoliator, it can dissolve dead skin cells and oils stuck in pores by penetrating your skin’s sebum.

Benefits of salicylic acid in general

Exfoliant: removes dead skin cells

Breaks down oil that has become stuck in pores.

Anti-inflammatory: reduces flushing

Antibacterial: destroys germs

breakdown of keratin by a keratolytic

How does Retinol benefit the skin?

Retinol, a robust and water-soluble antioxidant derived from vitamin A, accelerates the process of cell turnover and promotes replacing older, dead cells with new, living ones. Less dead cell accumulation reduces the possibility of those cells obstructing your pores.

Retinol relieves several skin conditions, such as:

Unknown

wrinkles and fine lines

Production of collagen

sun-related harm

Over Pigmentation

What skincare to use to help acne <3

First of all, keep in mind that acne is natural. It's nothing we should feel extremely insecure about. Everyone's beautiful in their own way 🙂.

Salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid. It’s well-known for reducing acne by exfoliating the skin and keeping pores clear. When your pores get plugged with dead skin cells and oil, blackheads, whiteheads or pimples often appear. Salicylic acid penetrates your skin and works to dissolve the dead skin cells clogging your pores. Salicylic acid is consider safe for teens to use as well. If you use this make sure to follow with a very hydrating moisturiser as this acid can leave skin very dry as it removes oil from the skin.

Benzoyl peroxide. Benzoyl peroxide works as an antiseptic to reduce the number of germs and bacteria on the surface of your skin. Like Salicylic acid, it can also lead to dry skin so remember to use a moisturiser afterwards. This is also safe for teens to use.

Niacinamide acid. Niacinamide acid is a form of vitamin B3. Niacinamide is an anti-inflammatory that works to reduce the redness and swelling associated with acne. It also works to regulate the amount of acne-causing oil being produced by the glands in your skin. One cause of acne is to much sebum or oil being produced, so since niacinamide regulates the amount of sebum being produced it helps with acne. This product is also teen safe <3.

Diet. Sometimes your diet can lead to too much sebum production and affect your hormones causing an hormonal imbalance, which can also lead to acne and other skin concerns. Also remember to stay hydrated!

A lot of the time regularly washing your face might be enough. It honestly depends on you age and the amount of acne that you have. If you are considering using any of the product please research them and check with a doctor or dermatologist if you can use them. Remember that if you feel a burning sensation on your face your skin is getting irritated and you should stop using that product.

Lifestyle. How much excerise you do, the amount of stress you have can also impact acne as well.

I hope this helps some of you :D. Bye, and remember to stay postive.

no one asked but here's my skincare routine xx 🌚 (including pictures of all the products !)

i'm a teen with acne-prone slightly sensitive skin that gets oily by the end of the day🧖‍♀️

(i'm 99% sure i'm allergic to salicylic acid bc it didn't help with my breakouts/caused them so i avoid it in my routine❕)

as a makeup remover i use the elf holy hydration makeup melting balm 🚿

& a makeup eraser cloth 🧽

for stubborn waterproof eye makeup i use garnier skin active micellar cleaning water all-in-1 waterproof (aka the blue one) i have a huge bottle of it :)💧

(i want to start using reusable cotton rounds so pls lmk of any good brands !)

i just ran out but if i haven't worn makeup but my pores feel especially clogged i use the burt's bees oil cleanser 🥥 (you do have to double cleanse with a water based cleanser afterwards !)

for a daily water-based facial cleanser i use two different ones

the cerave foaming facial cleanser 🧼 "oil control" on the bottle is no joke ! i don't get oily in the day anymore bc of the niacinamide in this :)

but it can be a little drying/strong so i mix it with the cetaphil gentle skin cleanser 🛁

i use this really cheap & generic silicone face scrubber for my nostrils/chin/sideburn-hairline area 🧽

once a week i use this scrub pixi peel and polish its a mask with physical and chemical exfoliants

it smells like lemon cucumber water🥒 and can also be used for body acne on the chest, back, & arms !!

once a week i use an AHA chemical exfoliant it's elf supertone toner 🌝 it has glycolic acid and is has a little bit of a lemony scent

what i use as a daily toner is thayer's rose-scented witch hazel spray 💌 it calms down any redness i have instantly !

i used to use the cerave daily moisturizing lotion but it was a little oily and it was impossible to apply makeup on 🧘 so now i use it on my hands before doing my facial moisturizer

and for that i use a mix of elf holy hydration gel-yeah moisturizer and elf holy hydration face cream 💦 it's pretty self-explanatory but the former is a clear gel and the latter is a white cream, i adjust the proportions for my moisture needs :) ⛲️

in the winter or if my face feels dry or in need of healing i use clinique moisture surge overnight face mask 🦪

"mask" is a little misleading as you just apply it with your moisturizer like any other lotion 🧴 it's super hydrating, it's a little expensive but i got it as a gift and a little goes a long way ! :)

after a breakout has healed completely i use a little bio oil on top of my moisturizer to fade any dark spots/scars 🐚

after i shower and exfoliate my lips i use this random lip mask from bath and body works that's watermelon scented 🍉 it's thick (a little goes a long way) and yummy

i also use smith's rosebud salve in this tin 🌹 it's like a nice scented vaseline

i don't use it all the time bc it's expensive but i love the mario badescu caffeine eye cream💆it's so good for my sunken dark circles ! but avoid getting it in your eye and keeping it in the bathroom bc it curdles if it gets too hot from shower steam

for active acne spots i use might patch pimple patches 🩹regular for whiteheads and micropoint ones for swollen spots under the skin

those are pretty expensive so for smaller spots i use mario badescu drying lotion overnight 🫧

i'm pretty bad at remembering sunscreen in the morning but i just got the glow recipe dew balm with spf 45 and niacinamide 🌸 i love the glow and the light fruity scent :)

i do want mention that my life-saver game-changer for stopping cystic acne (those painful lumps deep in the skin) and just acne in general has been hormonal birth control pills ! after i started BC for pcos/hormonal reason all of my breakouts decreased significantly🪽

tysm for reading !! 🕊️ xx
