How do you actually keep your teeth pearl white?
I had a professional dental cleaning done some weeks ago but I already noticed some discoloration and some lightish brown lines between my teeth
Do I have to give up coffee/tea entirely or is it a matter of discipline in regards to chasing down everything (that leads to stains) with water ?
Also is teeth whitening done by a dentist worth the money?

do topical copper peptides actually do anything

I wash my face with water and apply moisturiser once a day, limiting sun exposure on my face to no more than 20 minutes a day.
Simple as.

got these teeth whitening strips from amazon 10 years ago, fixed my slightly discoloured canines and helped with the rest. Never did it again; still looks whiter than the average set of teeth

My routine:
PM
>cerave basic bitch cleanser
>tretinoin
>La Roche Posay Cicaplast Balm
>spot treat any acne or suspected acne with Benzoyl Peroxide

AM
>pic related
>sun screen only if I plan to actually be outside a lot

Is the shit in my pic legit? Any suggestions to improve my routine?

when I'm at work it's hot and the sweat on my face makes me uncomfortable and slightly itchy so I wipe my face frequently and then it gets more uncomfortable how do I remedy this

Stop ingesting any sort of liquid.
No more sweating.
Simple as.

PDRN as a topical is pretty much just marketing, its a huge molecule so it can't penetrate the stratum corneum without a special delivery vehicle and exosome as a delivery vechile doesn't have a lot of studies behind it.
But it does have panthenol, polyglucuronic and a bunch of ceramides which you do need due to tret and BPO, so I'd say it's good as a product overall.

Never mew if your facial asymmetry is causes by an uneven palate or crossbite. It will only exacerbate the problem.

To add on to this, basically you’ll be promoting sideways growth rather than forward growth.

I started using retinol to sleep but I go to bed so late and wake up so late that the sun has been up for a long time in my room, and I'm wondering if it'll be bad for my skin.
There's no direct sunlight, but I use white curtains and the sun can be quite strong.
Should I use sunscreen to bed?

Is there much I can do about smile lines or whatever they are? They aren't severe but they linger a little sometimes but go away if I don't really smile and use some moisturizer. Obviously I don't want them to start getting bad but not sure if moisturizing does much, it might just be placebo.

>>18681934
what else does one definitely need when using tret?

>>18682731
get better curtains?

Mixed Skin Tips:
If you're like me and topical product have had literally zero effect on your acne, seriously try this:

- Change your pillowcase every day
Just order a set of 7 pillowcases right now.

I discovered how much using the same pillowcase affected my acne when I was traveling and staying at different hotels every night. MY acne practically vanished.
Only when I stayed at the same hotel for 3 nights and used the same sheets did it come back.

- Shower BEFORE you go to sleep and Wear clean clothes to sleep in.
This keeps your body clean so less dirt and oil builds up in your linens. i suggest having a specific set of sleep clothes that you do not wear outside.

- Keep your hormone levels under control
This is mostly if you're roiding but if you hormones are out of wack you will break out like crazy. Excess testosterone converts into estrogen.
A lot of this will be working out, sleep, stress management, and diet.

- Be mindful of anything that touches your face, such as wiping your nose with your hands, leaning on your hand when resting, or even wearing the same hat. All it takes is a little bit of exposure for bacteria to rapidly multiply on your skin and cause a breakout:
Wash hands regularly.
Wash your hats/headwear frequently
Be mindful of over-ear headphones that collect oil.
Stop touching your fucking face!

- Avoid harsh cleansers
I don't even use any face cleansers at all anymore.
I just get one of those disposable face towels and wet it with water.
All these products and cleansers fuck with the PH of your face and kill good bacteria.
The only product I use is moisturizer.

Following these tips I've been pretty much acne free for the past 4 years.

>wash face
>break out
>don't wash face
>don't break out
Can't even blame this on pillows, since I wash all my linens and blankets and pillow covers each time I wash up.

Not sure if nail talk belongs here, but whatever. I want to fix my nail that I fucked up early in my teens but even when letting it grow for a month or so it barely felt like it grew back in. Am I doing something wrong? Should I not trim it at all even when it grows past my fingertip or what?

Anyone here using GHK-CU? Was thinking of trying it along with collagen powder. My skin is actually pretty decent but maybe I can make it even better.

I have oily skin and started using witch hazel as a toner in the AM

Are these Thayer pads good for that? They’re the only ones I can find that don’t contain alcohol

>>18682741
I puff out my cheeks when I moisturize to really get into the crevices of my smile lines. I don’t know just how much it works but I’ve seen Koreans do it and it makes me feel like I’m doing something proactively

Baxter's of California, yay or nay?

Kek that's what I do too. I also sometimes do a mild version of the Zoolander face which seems to help I think. It's just that on some days, I can see the lines pretty badly and on others I see nothing.

is mewing a meme?
I have an overbite and kinda fat so I grow a beard to obfuscate it but i hate having a beard
I'm still losing weight but I want a backup plan

Thoughts on doing clinic procedures at home like TCA peels and PDRN injections?

tazarotene is fucking my shit up!

>>18683248
Yes, if you're an adult. You need surgery to fix it.

I'm 34 and I've done nothing with my skin until now. It's low maintenance, looks okay and doesn't feel dry.

I want to start using a combination moisturizer + SPF 50 in the morning now that I'm getting old. Can someone recommend me something basic and easy to use? I cycle regularly so sweat resistance is a plus.

I don't want a super heavy white cream American sunscreen but a lot of the Asian/Euro stuff seems overpriced and more than I need.

Braces could help, maybe consult with an orthodontist?

>>18682731
No, but if it really bugs you then maybe buy one of those window films that blocks UVA?

Ingrown facial hairs from epilating!
>suffered with razor burn for years
>epilated all my facial hair off
>skin felt smooth for a week
>exfoliated with a foaming cleanser 2x per day
>next week whole face covered with ingrown hairs
Is there any way out of this hell? Does epilating get better with time or am I basically guaranteed to have a rotation of ingrown hairs on my face for as long as I epilate?
Do I have to go back to shaving and having razor burn?

>>18684925
epilating thins out hair follicles over time, so you should see less ingrowns as you keep doing it

How do I make my lips pinker? I like to tan and did it a few months ago (in Aus so it's autumn here now) and while I like my skin tan, the lip tan is awful. I want it pink

>Pre tret
>Predominantly sleep on my right side, on my stomach, right side of the face on the pillow
>Left under eye area is flawless
>Right under eye area had like 3 faint non-dynamic winkle lines
I use tret for 2 years and it completely managed to smooth out 2 of those wrinkles and a bit of the 3rd one. But yeah ur sleeping position does matter.

>>18685145
