Yes I was wearing a mask and yes I'm not even 5'3 and yes the woman was probably just trying to avoid asking for my certificate but 🤫🤫🤫

This isn't cute stop acting as if it's cute

Hey all, this is bugging me a little, so I thought I'd ask here in case somebody knows better.

I'm waiting for the The Ordinary's 5% pycnogenol and 3% resveratrol + 3% ferulic acid serums that I ordered to be delivered. Intend to use them by adding a few drops of each to some of my other skincare - would it be a problem to use them with the Geek&Gorgeous 15% vitamin C in particular (pH 3.2 - 3.4, TO's antioxidants are anhydrous)? It seems not but when I asked TO about

Another interesting post shared by Labmuffin on her Instagram story - apparently there is no conclusive evidence that melasma is influenced by heat *in general* (the comments bring up another issue though: "Some Melasmas can also have a vascular component which could get worse with heat"). Thought I'd share.

Skincare doesn't get commingled on Amazon.

Sharing this Instagram post that labmuffin shared on her story. It's focused on melasma in general and specifically addresses the misconception recently peddled by *certain* hyperpigmentation- skin-of-colour-focused doctors that not only do organic filters produce drastically more heat in comparison with mineral ones, but also said heat can impact melasma (both assertions are false).

EDIT: Previously the word "doctors" was in quotation marks, which - as is discussed below - was in poor taste and had ultimately racist connotations.

Absolutely loved this post and think everybody here interested in "anti-aging" (hate this term) should read it at least once - I'm constantly seeing people posting and commenting about how a good skincare routine will make them look a couple decades younger in the future, and that line of thinking imo is not only ridiculous and false, but also dangerous. While quality sunscreen and tretinoin will definitely ensure that our skin is in its best state as we age (well, at least for most people), ultimately, what "tells" our age isn't fine lines and wrinkles so

Sauce is a comment here that literally says:"My teen is an early wrinkler. She has had success reversing some of it with tretnoin, sunscreen and being more mindful of wrinkling her forehead up/extreme expressions. I’ve really had to bug her about the whole sunscreen issue but I think she gets it now, it really does make a difference."

Honestly, people here love jerking SkincareAddiction, but the shit I see on 30PlusSkinCare is unmatched.

EDIT: Got into an argument with her and she literally wrote to me "You are kind of a shitty person if you aren’t going to really make an effort to instill the need for sunscr

Sauce in particular, but there are constantly posts by people with super common (for the sub) issues that haven't tried anything (including using the search bar), up to an including "has anybody heard of tretinoin" and "has anybody tried The Ordinary". EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Found this really interesting. Still not sure I'd layer mineral sunscreens alongside sunscreens with avobenzone though..
