What’s the best skin care products to use, so far I’m leaning towards the ordinary but I hear Korean products are better? Hellppp. Btw my skin is dry

Hiii, so basically i was just wondering if anyone has any tips on how i can mike my skin softer and more fem. i feel like every time i exfoliate with like a glove or african net something i always have to use a lotttt of force to get the soft results i want, but thats really tiring, so does anyone have a lazy-boy approved method?

Also, im southasian and i have some hyperpigmentation, so if anyone has any tips for that, that would be much appreciated

I (19F) have a younger brother (14M). A while ago, my mom noticed something was off because his skin tone had changed a lot. He's naturally dark-skinned, but his face had become noticeably lighter than the rest of his body. It looked really uneven, and we were all confused.

When my parents confronted him, he admitted that some of his friends had told him a lotion would make him look lighter, so he'd started using it. My mom and dad were really upset and told him to stop immediately because they were worried about what was in it and what it could do to his skin.We thought that was the end of it.

About a month later, though, my sister and I had a feeling he never actually stopped because his skin kept changing. We searched his room and found another bottle hidden away. He'd been secretly using it the whole time.

What makes me sad is that he's only 14. I hate that he's already feeling like he needs to change his skin color because of something his friends told him. At the same time, I'm worried about the health side of it too, because I've heard some of these products can contain harmful ingredients.

He's stubborn and doesn't listen when anyone tells him to stop.

Has anyone dealt with something like this? How do you get through to a teenager who's convinced lighter skin is somehow "better"? I honestly don't know what else we can do.

I currently use a salicylic acid cleanser (doesn't say how much) once a day, but I still have pimples and recently visible sebaceous filaments on my nose and cheeks, I want to make the filaments less visible or even not visible. Should I be using my cleanser less? Should I use a cleansing oil (non comedogenic ofc) as well? What's a good routine? Should I double cleanse? My skin is also a bit red on my face, is that because of my cleanser, how should I fix it? I'm also a teenager so I'm on a budget.

What you put IN your body matters more than what you put ON your face.

As the title says, I have oily/greasy skin (somehow exclusively on my face) and have tried most things that I can think of without any success. Ranging from moisturizer, brand name oily skin wash, sensitive skin body wash, a charcoal face mask and various different types of soaps and body washes than the one I normally use. I was wondering if anyone here might have a suggestions. (I’m a guy in my mid twenties if that matters)

Honestly guys this is my first post and i’m honestly just going to rant because im so sick of my skin. I hate my skin so much i started having crazy acne about this time last year and no matter what products i use nothing works and if something does work my body my skin ends up rejecting it. It’s had such a huge toll on my mental health and it doesn’t help when my boyfriend is a literal model which makes me feel even more self conscious. Also ive recently had an outbreak of rashes which might be eczema but im genuinely not too sure but it’s started to be everywhere. I’m honestly distraught and i just needed to let it out because no one understands. All my friends have beautiful clear skin and i can complain and cry abt how i look but they honestly aren’t bothered or sympathetic about how much this is damaging me so im not getting much support. I guess im here to hear other peoples acne stories im js idk yeah chat
