I want to buy a new hydrating serum or toner because my skin is PARCHED. The best one i've tried so far is cezanne toner but it's no longer available where i live :") other hydrating products i have tried: iunik beta glucan serum, cosrx snail mucin essence (?), hada labo gokyujun premium (lotion/toner and serum), roundlab dokdo toner, torriden dive serum. Crazy enough none comes close to cezanne. Also please write down other products you've tried for reference aside from the best one!!

Edit: added more products that I remembered i have tried.

So far menurut aku yang paling sedep hidrasinya itu toner cezanne pink tapi udah g ada lagi di indo. Meskipun ada efek lengketnya jadi kurang enak tapi tetep terdebest sih itu. Yang lain yg udah aku coba yg worth mentioning termasuk hada labo gokyujun (serum dan toner) premium, iunik beta glucan, cosrx snail mucin, roundlab dokdo toner. Kalah jauh semua sama toner cezanne. Kepikiran mau beli hatomugi karena ngarepnya sama sih tapi sebelum co mau tanya pendapat kalian duluu :>

Edit: tipe kulit kombi-kering, comedone-prone (tapi meragukan). Pipi lagi kering banget sampe ketarik hence the stress on hydration and not moist.

Meso? Microneedling? Peels? PLEASE LET ME KNOOOWS

I'm on nano sub. My requests aren't even that bad 😭 what to do here? I read once about changing my preferred provider right? Which provider exactly because I tried every single one by allowing one and banning everything else, tried each one of the options. Was that the correct way to do it? And which provider(s) actually works?

Assalamu’laikum girls.

So i just had a talk with my mom, a much needed, long-overdue talk if i must say. I’d start this by saying I love my mom and she’s amazing. But she’s the kind of person who’s difficult to understand others. She’s so amazing both in her deen and dunya that she can’t understand how others (her children including me) are not her and that we are different from her. She always has that “if i can do it, why can’t you?” mentality. She’s the kind of person who would yell and be angry at us for slacking off with our deen, who would make hurtful comments and not realize it, who is so hard to simply apologize without overexplaining her “reasoning.” And because of this, it’s always been difficult to genuinely communicate with her for the things that actually matter. I’ve always been suppressing myself growing up, and she knew this… in a way. I’ve broken down once when i was younger during a family supper with our relatives when i found out that one of them was a hypnotherapist and i was asked “do you want to try? Got anything to say?” I also had gone to a psychologist once (also with her)… but even after all that, it seems like she still can’t understand what i needed. And a part of me is already like “well, it is what it is, this is just her flaw as a human being.”

So just now we had a talk. And after a long time, I finally told her a story that made me fall out of my deen and it was her hurtful words. For reference i’m still praying regularly, wear the hijab, read quran, etc. But i felt like i was falling out of my deen when i was the best version of myself like three months ago.

And, well… as expected, her reaction was so typical of her. She laughed (in a “trying to lighten up the mood” kinda way, but still. If you know, you know. Like i was crying and the laugh just hit me wrong), explained her point of view (which is fair and expected of her), and apologized. But somehow i couldn’t accept her apology because… her delivery was just… it didn’t feel genuine enough to me or maybe it was just how the apology didn’t meet my expectations the way i wished her to do. I was still angry at that point. I was crying and she was not.

Then i proceeded to talk some more about how i wished she wouldn’t be angry all the time anymore. How her approach to remind me of our deen with anger and force won’t actually reach me. How her words can be hurtful and i’m probably not the only one who feels that way toward her. How i wished to be like her but i’m not her and she just can’t understand that. Basically i finally said the things i’ve always wanted to say all my life but never did cause i KNEW how she would react. And at some point during this second half of the conversation she started crying because (if i have to guess) she finally understood… or because my words hurt her. Ngl i didn’t “raise” my voice but the intonation was also not the best during this part because i was driven by the anger i felt earlier, i admit that. I did try my best to choose the right words too but ofc what i said must have been hurtful at some parts. Of course it feels agonizing when you’re being told that you’re wrong. Nearing the end, i did fix my voice again and you can “feel” it when you finally change your tone, right? When it’s not anger anymore and just.. this kind of hollow and heavy feeling?

She apologized, and this time… as shameful and guilty as it is, i actually felt relieved and freed. I finally said what i’ve always wanted to say and she actually felt it too that she cried. In my head i was like “so you finally cried like how i just did. So my words finally get to you.” And i also apologized to her.

But on the other hand… i also feel guilty. I know my words must’ve hit her this time. And honestly i’m scared cause i know it’s really bad when you upset your mom. Also i’m scared because i’d hate it if we became awkward.

So basically… what should i do here? Apologize again? Am i wrong here? Are we? Or is this really just how it is and it’s just a much-needed outcome to our situation and i should just let time do its job?

Assalamu’laikum everyone.

Aku 25 tahun dan kayak baru akhir-akhir ini sadar kalo bloatedness yang aku alamin kayaknya emang ada underlying causenya deh. Aku baru sadar kayak... wait i don't think i used to bloat when i woke up but now i do and i don't remeber when this started. Dan daripada blindly trying things out (karenya BANYAK banget possible causesnya) to address this aku emang mau coba gitu ke dokter (atau nutritionist?) yang emang bagus. Ada sih dokter di kota aku (obviously haha) tapii aku pengen tau aja manatau kalian emang ada kenal dokter yg kalian suka. Sooo ada rekomendasi gak puans? Anywhere in sumatra or jawa is fine. Thanks in advance!!

I'm 25 and my main concern is big pores on my forehead and cheeks. So naturally I want to do collagen-inducing treatments. I want to do regular peels, microneedling, and adjacently, mesotherapy.

Now the general instruction of juvelook is to use it 2-3 times 4 weeks apart initially and then once every 6-12 months for maintenance. So in short, can I use it monthly after the first two or three? Will it yield better result? And for reference, I'm talking about the regular juvelook, not juvelook volume. I know that it's okay to use other stuff like pdrn and exosome monthly but I'm unsure about juvelook so what do you think?

Indonesia dengan segala dramanya… tapi dari semua itu, satu yang bikin gue muak banget banget banget: manusia yang bakar sampah Astaghfirullah. Gue bahkan ga minta udara UHD kayak pegunungan loh… gue tinggal di kota angek badangkang pekanbaru. Taulah gimana udara pekanbaru. Gue cuma mau bisa buka jendela kamar gue dan merasakan VENTILASI UDARA YANG PROPER. Gue ada ac, ada kipas, ada air purifier semua di kamar tapi g ada yg bisa ngalahin enaknya ventilasi udara yang sangat sederhana itu. Cuma buka jendela loh… hak biologis gue yang paling paling paling paling mendasar biar bisa nafas tanpa harus mencium aroma asap bakar DI RUMAH SENDIRI itu pun dirampas. Bahkan PAGI-PAGI! Jadi gue setiap hari buka jendela itu waswas. Kalo udah ada kerasa dikittt aja asap langsung tutup jendela sama pake air purifier. Dari semua hal, ini yang emang last straw banget sih. Istighfar banyak2.

Seriously considering pindah gara” ini. Saranin kota yang udaranya bagus dan regulasi tentang bakar sampahnya bagus dong warga. Makasih.

Edit: nambah yappingan

I had clear skin until I was 19 years old before I had acne. Now I'm 25 and I'm fortunate enough that it didn't cause me "real" acne scars, but in turn i have huge pores now mostly on my forehead. It's so bad that it looks textured. Please tell me what has worked for you in reducing pore size. I'm thinking mainly tca peels and microneeding but do tell me your two cents.
