Like I don’t do home decor or cooking for pleasure, or entertaining at home.
They do say alcohol and sugar and an inconsistent sleep schedule are bad for skin.
And I get you about not caring to do research and buy products. There are things I for sure don’t care about doing and won’t do!
And yes, genetics play a big role.
True about extractions!
Are you using a chemical exfoliant like the Paula’s Choice AHA or The Ordinary Glycolic toner, then Vitamin C (day) and retinol (night) serums and a good seasonal moisturizer? If not, do that first and see if your skin doesn’t look fresher. If you already are, then sure, try facials or see what a Derm says.
This was to KTFran.
I’m not sure facials do anything you can’t do at home, but they are nice and pampering. Well and I guess they’re using expensive products that you’d otherwise have to buy. I think lasers and microdermabrasion/ peels can do things you couldn’t or shouldn’t do at home.
Yeah, and Courtney lied and said she’s natural now. I mean, I get it, but it’s important not to forget these folks all get eye lifts and lip lifts and neck lifts and face lifts.
Also, it’s important to know that almost every celeb has had *surgery.* They are not just doing a little Botox and a little filler. And they’re actively lying to us, and have all kinds of ways of getting away with it. JLo is an example of a bad offender, with her bullshit “olive oil” story. This kind of fuckery makes you think you can – and should! – look way younger than your age. JLo does NOT look like that, and we all need to stop playing into her lies, because it’s toxic. It’s a combination of filters/photoshop and plastic surgery. She is *selling skin care* products and trying to get us to believe we could look like her. Bullshit!!! Pricey skin care, injectables, and fillers (which are the most that these people will admit to) are not going to make you look like JLo, and we should all stop and think about why we think we have to. We don’t. What makes you look good is wearing sunscreen always from birth, not drinking or smoking, and using basic good ingredients like vitamin C and retinol and keeping your skin’s moisture barrier intact. But we’re not gonna look like we’re 30 when we’re 50, because that’s all bullshit.
Here’s that video, or if this doesn’t work, go to Lorry Hill’s channel and you’ll see it: https://youtu.be/nuXgkp-jz-c
I have some laxity under my eyes and have thought about whether fillers would help. I am sure that some combo of light fillers and Botox would make me look younger, but it would just be temporary I think. I’d have to keep going back for maintenance, and then at some point it’s like, I should have just gotten an eye job. And once I took the fillers out, I’d need one. Again, what the fuck do I even know, but that’s my opinion. I have decided to just go natural. I don’t trust myself to be able to find exactly the right doctor who would know exactly what to do to keep me looking “like me but younger,” without fucking it up, and I’m not prepared to get surgery. Lorry has made videos about her bletharoplasties and face lift, and whoa.
I have done facials in the past and like how relaxing they are, but I don’t have skin problems that benefit from facials. I’d be open to some kind of light peel.
I have thought about Botox or fillers in passing, but I’m 99% sure I never will.
And I can’t tell you how many times some new (always female!) commenter has written in with a problem she’s having, and BGM would immediately say something extremely mean, without advice. And then the OP would be like, oh, I guess that’s how this forum is, and would rip into him, calling names, often with something homophobic, and there’d be this 3rd-grade level back & forth that he LOVES, and I’d have to babysit and delete all their comments and close the thread. So yeah, don’t do that either.
Oh and. If the person who’s website this is asks you to take a long break, and you don’t, but instead come back in less than a week still insulting people, that’s also not okay.
