Hello, I am moving to Estonia and I am from the south of Europe, from a very dry climate.

The skin of my body is dry and atopic, and I have keratosis in my legs. When it gets very dry I even get ugly looking patches and I have to use double moisturizer.

My question is for all the people living in these cold countries, specially during the winter. What do you use on your body so it doesn't get super dry?

I am open also to trying new brands if you have something to recommend, and other tips you can give. My body skin suffers a lot during the winter here so I can't imagine in Estonia...

Also please let me know if I can dm you with questions.

Hello everybody. I want to start doing daily wash. I have always had greasy hair but I have only washed it every two days because of the effort of styling. I have 2B/C hair depending on the day.

My hair is very fine, thin and low density (I have androgenic alopecia and PCOS and before anyone suggests treatments I have that covered).

These last years I have been losing more hair and so the grease is much more noticeable on day 2 and that is why I want to start daily wash. The problem is that it takes me a long time just to look decent because I lather twice, really getting there + conditioner and then I untangle my hair which is the longest part of the process + mousse and finger curl and then dry with diffuser.

I want to ask fellow people like me how do you manage your time to take less time during wash day because it takes me 30 to 40 minutes...

I only use foam as a styling product because my hair lengths look greasy with more than one product but I am open to recommendations about this.

When I put foam on my hair i put one pump on the top half and another on the bottom half (I have chin length hair).

I also want (drugstore) products recommendations, specially a lightweight heat protectant and how to better use it so my hair doesn't look greasy.

Thank you so much :)

F31. I was diagnosed with chronic anxiety at 16, and with depression at 12 while the latter comes and goes, anxiety is a constant in my everyday life. I am never at ease, let's say.

I have always been thin, part of it is genetics and part of it I blame it on my mental health condition. I had to start taking the pill at 21 because my period only came once every 6 months, and although doctors are always saying that is fine that I am skinny because my bloodwork is perfect, there are a lot of things thay are affected by my underweight, such as my fertility, fatigue, hair, etc.

Before anyone suggests that I check my thyroid or any condition, I have already, I am fine, don't have any health issue besides that, bloodwork is perfect, etc.

Since I can't fix my mental health because I can't afford therapy and meditation only helps me briefly, I wanted to ask if anyone in the same situation has been able to gain weight and how. I eat 2 big meals and 3 small meals a day but I don't enjoy most of them most of the time, and even when I do for long periods, like when I travel, I don't gain a gram.

Thank you for your help.
