Sebum control sunscreen recs for oily skin

​

i’ve been using skin aqua clear white and i like it, but my skin is oily as heck and i need stronger sebum control. i’m looking for a sunscreen that’s matte, gel texture and leaves no white cast.

most sunscreens i’ve tried either leave me greasy or chalky. i don’t want to deal with comments about looking like i’ve put on makeup. i just want invisible protection that keeps me matte through the day.

need a body wash that smells like old spice og

22m here, and i’ll admit i don’t even know if there's difference between shower gel and body wash lol.

i just want something antibacterial/exfoliating that smells close to old spice og deodorant stick.

How to power wifi router from battery?

hey folks, i’m not an electronics expert at all, just trying to keep my internet alive during outages. i’ve got a big lead acid battery lying around and i want to run my router + fiber modem directly off it instead of their wall adapters.

battery:

  • ags ws‑165 12v 105ah lead acid

devices:

  • router: sercomm s3 ac2100 (input: 12v ⎓ 1.5a)

  • onu: huawei echolife hg8321r (input: 12v ⎓ 1a)

both normally run from their stock wall adapters, but i want to power them straight from the battery during load shedding. ideally the cheapest safe solution i can order online (daraz, etc). i’d like to avoid soldering if possible. both devices need to run at the same time.

questions:

  • what parts do i actually need to do this safely?

  • do i need a voltage regulator / buck converter or some shii, or can i connect directly?

  • what fuse rating should i use?

  • how should the wiring be done (splitters, connectors, etc)?

  • roughly how long could a 12v 105ah battery power these two devices together?

i only know the specs written on the battery and the devices, not much else. just want something practical, cheap, and safe that won’t fry my gear.

tl;dr: want to run router (12v 1.5a) + onu (12v 1a) directly from a 12v 105ah battery during outages. don’t know electronics, need advice on parts, wiring, fuse, and runtime.

been eyeing this sunscreen for a while but prices are all over the place.

i just want the real thing at a fair price. any facebook groups or discounter websites you trust for skincare imports?

so i’ve used jenpharm's mendalac and dermive moisturizing face wash, but honestly they didn’t make any real difference on my skin (almost 3 bottles of both).

i’m 22m, combo to oily skin. what are some better face washes that actually work?

reddit.com
u/CineTechWiz — 20 days ago

22m here. looking for a (preferably that boosts hair growth) shampoo that’s truly sulfate‑free (like decyl glucoside base), no parabens, no dmdm.

ideally something that also helps with scalp health (castor oil, acv) and has protein repair (keratin, rice protein).

what’s worth buying?

i’m 22m, i love leather, always have.

i want something with leather as the star. problem is, most leather frags feel too heavy or “winter only.”

i live in karachi, where winter barely exists. i’ve got lattafa asad elixir and afnan supremacy ce.

i need something that carries leather but still feels wearable in summer/all seasons.

what would you recommend?

i buy chicken for the week in one go, 1kg (200g per day). butcher packs it in plastic bags, but i’m trying to avoid the toxicity of microplastic.

what’s the best non‑toxic way to store it in the fridge? glass? steel? something else?
