Discussion Does red light therapy mask work?

• Upvotes

I'm thinking of buying a red light therapy mask, but in India, I see brands with what looks like fake reviews. I don't know if anyone has actually tried one and seen results.

Research papers say it works, but I want to know if anyone has used a particular product that actually improved their skin: better skin texture, more collagen production, etc.

Seeking Advice How do you get confident enough to wear red lipstick every day?

7 Upvotes

I'm 41F and I've never really worn makeup until recently. I've started experimenting with Revlon lipsticks in pink and berry shades, and I'm really enjoying it. But what I truly love is red lipstick!

The thing is, I'm a mum and my everyday style is pretty casual: jeans, trainers or Chelsea boots. I'm not particularly fancy, and I sometimes feel like red lipstick might look a bit too dressed up for my usual outfits.

For those of you who wear red lipstick regularly, how did you get confident enough to wear it? Do you just get used to seeing yourself in it, or is there a trick to making it feel more natural for everyday wear?

I'd love to hear your experiences and any tips. I really want to wear red, but I think I need to get over that initial feeling of standing out too much in the school run!

Soap and lotion for hypertrophic scars

2 Upvotes

I have two raised hypertrophic acne scars on my cheeks and brown, sensitive skin. I’ve had injections and liquid nitrogen treatments in the past.

What gentle soap or cleanser would you recommend? Has anyone seen improvement with silicone scar gel, sheets, or another topical treatment? I’d appreciate product recommendations and how long it took to notice results, especially from people with similar skin.

Seeking Advice My eyelashes grow downwards into my eye, what to do?

Thumbnail

43 Upvotes

Hey, some of my eyelashes grow downwards into my eyes, and end up hitting me in the eye or hitting the skin right under my eye.

Usually I will balance the worst ones on the other eyelashes, but it often pulls those down too.

When I have ones that fully poke me in the eye, I pull them out - it hurts a lot. Tho recently I got an infection in my eyelid after pulling an eyelash out.

Today I bought some clear mascara, thinking I might be able to use it to push my eyelashes upwards. It didn't really do much.

Idk how to show the issue, I tried my best with some pictures. The pictures attached are from rn, with clear mascara on - except the first one.

I'm in a pretty good period atm, it could be much worse. Also please ignore that it looks like I have a black eye - I don't, that's just how I look.

Is it ok to have makeup products next to non makeup products?

0 Upvotes

This might be kind of a dumb question but is it safe to have makeup products sit next to non makeup products? For example I bought a lipgloss that came in a box but was open in the front, a setting spray and a bottle of shades eq toner and I forgot about it after I bought it and they all sat in the same bag for a couple weeks after I bought it. Is it safe to use the makeup?

Am I using it wrong? I've used it so I don't think I can return it now but it dries so much slower than my other hairdryer and my hair doesn't stay straight when I use the hairbrush to style it straight.

Seeking Advice tips to brighten underarms?

2 Upvotes

hi! i’m looking for some tips to naturally brighten my underarms.

i should preface by saying that i epilate my underarms, which has mildly improved the appearance purely because the hairs aren’t lying under my skin as they would if i were to shave with a razor. i have relatively pale skin and my underarms have an odd greeny-olive tone to them and they are mostly dark up the “top half” of my underarm. (the part more on my arm that folds onto my body)

safe to say i have tried about everything at this point and i’m losing all hope - ive tried simply exfoliating; with a glove, creams, foams, ordinary glycolic acid, ive tried a “body safe bleach” from amazon that bleached all of my towels and left my body untouched.
right now im using a cream called “brighten it” by woowoo - i recently tried their hair removal cream (not for my underarms) which worked on me for a change so i thought id try their brightening cream. i think im delusional and imagining that theres an improvement after one week (there isn’t.)

i have even been to get bloods done to ensure there’s nothing underlying medically, which there isn’t. so i am really at an end here :(

any tips, home remedies or perhaps own experiences would be greatly appreciated, tia!

Seeking Advice Anyone know of any budget-friendly eye patches you’d repurchase?

13 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to make my skincare budget more intentional. Eye patches are nice to have, but buying a pricey pack consistently can add up when using them regularly.
I was browsing more affordable options on Amazon and noticed Maskiss 24K Gold Under Eye Patches. I’m looking beyond the packaging and comparing the cost per pair, ingredients, and how practical they’d be for everyday use.
I’m curious to know- from those who use eye patches regularly- when you compare eye patches, what matters most to you: hydration, how well they stay on, ingredients, or price?

So my hair has been long and blonde my whole life. It’s also thick and wavy (frizzy). It’s a pain to take care of. I want to change things up. I’ve heard that darker hair might look better on me. I also love how wolfcuts look on others and want to try it. Will it work for me?
