Hi! Ich schaue gerade nach einfachen und effektiven Zahnaufhellungsmethoden, ich habe über Opalescence gelesen und es scheint ein gängiges Produkt von Zahnärzten zu sein, das dann zur home anwendung nachhause gegeben wird. Nur ist es natürlich in Deutschland nicht erhältlich wie in den USA. Ich habe nach anderen alternativen geschaut wie Alpine Whitening, aber da es keinerlei peroxide enthält kann ich mir nicht vorstellen das es sonderlich effektiv ist.

Hat jemand Erfahrungen mit anderen kits, oder hat die Anwendung mit Opalescence beim Zahnarzt gemacht und weiß wie viel das kostet? Ich habe das auch in Erwägung gezogen, aber wenn man das Kit für 50 euro kaufen kann, und der Zahnarzt es sowieso zur selbstanwendung nachhause gibt, sehe ich nicht ein dafür 400 euro zu zahlen...

Vielen Dank!

I have hair on my arms and I have been bleaching them for year, but they started to grow a lot so I had to trim them a bit and that's when they started growing darker!! Now when I bleach them, after 2 weeks I need to bleach them again because you can see the dark hair growing.

I don't want to use laser hair removal because that means I will have to shave my arms and it takes a lot of time and sessions to see a result and having to shave my arms and getting darker hair is not a process I want to experience.

Any thoughts about VANIQA? or those oils/creams that stop hair growth?

It's winter here and I need something for body and face. In summer no problem but now with winter my face gets dry.

I made Shea butter moisturizer, heated over water and blended it into a mousse.

I want some feedback on how to use and how did it help you.

Also what natural cleansers do u use?

Thank you!

So many products promise everything under the sun, and it gets exhausting and expensive trying to keep up. A while back I decided to step back and experiment with a more minimal approach using natural ingredients, and honestly it changed how I think about skincare entirely.

For me, switching to pure jojoba oil as a moisturizer cut like three products from my routine. My skin took a couple weeks to adjust but eventually it balanced out and looked better than it ever did with a full shelf of stuff.

Everyone's skin is different though, which is why I'm curious what has worked for others. Have you found a single natural ingredient that replaced multiple products for you? Maybe something like aloe vera, rosehip oil, raw honey, or even something more unexpected?

I'm also curious whether simplifying your routine made a noticeable difference over time, or whether you found certain things still needed a proper formulated product. I'd love to hear both the wins and the honest disappointments, because I think that's more useful than only hearing success stories.

What has your experience been with simplifying and going more natural?

Does anyone else go through phases where your skin isn’t breaking out, irritated or doing anything dramatic, but it just looks tired in a way you can’t really explain? I feel like after 40, the small things show up faster less sleep, stress, not drinking enough water, maybe even just a change in weather. I don’t want to panic and start adding strong products because that usually makes things worse. What’s your go-to when your skin looks a little dull or less like itself?

I’m trying to make my own hair clay i
Would like to Try soy wax or any other wax that isn’t bees wax. If you have any suggestions where to look to purchase this stuff pls lmk thank you!🤗

my skin on my arms, legs and torso has been really dry and flaky for a while now, especially after showers. it feels rough to touch and sometimes gets itchy in winter. i have tried regular lotions but they either sit on top or don’t last long and i wanted to move away from products with lots of synthetic stuff.

i switched to more natural options and started using leif products for my body routine. the cleanser and balm feel gentler and my skin has been less tight and irritated since i made the change. does anyone have a simple natural body skincare routine that actually helps with dryness and roughness? what has worked best for you?

I recently started questioning my haircare routine after realizing how many synthetic ingredients I'd been using without really understanding what they were doing to my scalp and hair over time. I decided to gradually replace my usual shampoo and conditioner with more natural alternatives, and honestly the transition has been a mixed bag so far.

Some things have genuinely surprised me in a good way. Rinsing with diluted apple cider vinegar has made my hair feel noticeably softer and less weighed down. I also started doing a weekly coconut oil treatment before washing and my ends seem less dry than before.

But I've had some disappointments too. I tried a popular natural dry shampoo made with arrowroot powder and it left a white cast that was really hard to blend out, especially at my roots.

There's so much conflicting information out there about what actually works versus what is just marketing dressed up in green packaging. It's hard to know what's genuinely natural and effective versus what just sounds good on the label.

For those of you who have made the switch to more natural haircare, what ingredients or homemade remedies have actually delivered real results for you? And were there any that totally let you down after all the hype?

has anyone had any success finding a natural deodorant that actually works (instead of just overlaying bo with scent)?

I go through phases where I want to simplify everything and use fewer products, but then I end up overwhelmed by all the “natural beauty” advice online because half of it feels like trend recycling.

So I’m curious what people here have genuinely kept in their routine because it works for them or because they actually enjoy it, not because TikTok told them to. Could be skin, hair, body care, whatever. I’m especially interested in the things that feel simple and grounding rather than like a 14-step experiment.

Basically I’m trying to figure out which habits or products people actually come back to when they want something low-fuss and comforting.

Would love a brutally honest version of this.

Not the ingredient list that sounds impressive on a label, but the things that genuinely made a noticeable difference in how your skin felt, how your body products performed, or how your routine worked overall.

And on the flip side which ingredients or “proprietary blends” sounded great but did basically nothing?

Always more useful hearing what people actually repurchase versus what just had good branding.

M 34 Im looking for an all in one cleanser/exfoliater with minimal excess chemicals. Not against synthetic ingredients but do prefer as natural as possible. I already have a retinol and a pure hyaluronic moisturizer. Just need the cleanse/exfoliator.

The more affordable and natural the better. Preferably from Amazon so I can put it on a subscription

Please help me if you have any recommendations! Thank you

I recently used fresh aloe gel and ended up with redness, irritation, and what felt like a pretty serious allergic reaction. The weird thing is that I've used aloe gel products before and never had any issues.

Now I'm wondering if I used the wrong type of aloe, prepared it incorrectly, or if fresh aloe is just different from the aloe gels sold in containers. Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there a noticeable difference between fresh aloe vera and store-bought aloe gel?

You know the one that is not popular, not advertised everywhere, but somehow worked better than the hyped stuff. Curious to hear everyone's underrated skincare holy grails

I've been using dried whole-milk, and that's really nice. Yesterday I tried Baby Oil for the 1st time, and it was good, too, and more of an occlusive I read. Do you think bathing in *Both* would be good? And, what other natural items do you add to your bath to make your skin really soft? Thanks!

Anyone know where I can get a haircut in Manhattan for cheaper like 30 ish? If that’s possible? lol

I’m trying to wear SPF lip protection, but all of the options I’ve tried so far are either chemical sunscreens with a bitter taste, or mineral sunscreens that leave my lips white.

Are there any decent SPF lip balms out there (in the US) that don’t have a bitter taste or leave a white cast? I need something with no tint and hopefully minimal shine.

i've been down the natural skincare rabbit hole for like a year now and honestly it's been hit or miss. mostly miss tbh.

some natural products are great. like they feel nice and my skin doesn't react badly. but others? they either do nothing or break me out. it's so frustrating because you spend all this money trying to be clean and natural and then your skin looks worse than before.

i've tried diy stuff too. honey masks. oat cleansers. all of that. some worked okay but it's a lot of effort and honestly i don't have the time to be mixing things in my kitchen every night.

anyone else struggle with finding natural products that actually perform? or have you found stuff that works
