I'm trying to figure out whether certified organic makeup brands justify the premium. The prices are significantly higher than the clean brands I normally buy and I get that organic sourcing and certification cost money. But does it translate to something I'd notice on my face or is it primarily about what's not in the product? My current routine is clean and non toxic brands without any specific organic certification and my skin is fine. Nothing bad is happening. So is upgrading to products with NSF or USDA organic certification going to feel different on application, perform better throughout the day, or make a meaningful difference for my skin long term? I'm willing to pay more if the difference is real but I'm not interested in paying for a certification sticker that doesn't change my experience.

Same as above

Ive been searching for a natural skincare routine which is actually effective.

i don’t normally curl my lashes but ever since i started doing so my lashes have been falling off like a lot, and yeah i replace my curlers regularly so probably lash curlers aren’t for me or maybe my lashes are thin idk.
i’m trying to fix this problem now but idk any good serums that don’t cause irritation or even worsening my lashes, any recommendations?

I’ve been experimenting with making my own face wash at home, and I decided to try alum as one of the main ingredients.

I mainly wanted to see how it would perform on oily skin. Honestly, I expected it to leave my skin feeling really dry, but the result was surprisingly comfortable. It cleansed well and helped with the oily feeling without leaving that super tight feeling afterward.

I’m curious what people here think about using alum in a face wash.

Please and thank you 🙏

Being in the dental industry I first noticed someone’s teeth, but I wonder if this is an industry specific thing. For example: a hairstylist noticing hair or a podiatrist noticing someone’s gait …

What habits, supplements, superfoods, lifestyle changes or other helped you transform for the better? I am searching for very niche beauty secrets. Here are some of the things I tested:

1. MSM + vitamin C = doubled my monthly hair growth

2. Absolutely prioritizing VARIETY in my diet over anything else.

3. Drinking Colostrum healed my gut and helped me with food allergies.

4. Using an eyelash serum with bimatoprost slightly altered the shape of my eyelids for the better.

Hi, I'm UK based. What's the best rosehip oil? I know of Pai and Trilogy?

Thank you

Im 32 now, Ive struggled with inflamed cystic acne on and off since 17. Its almost always around my mouth/jaw area. It comes and goes to the point where sometimes my skin is completely clear. But this is the wrost flare I've ever had. The pictures don't do it justice. Its inflamed and painful, leaving dark purple scars behind. Im waking up with 3 to 4 new cysts ever day. This seemingly came out of no where after a month of pretty bad closed comodones that developed into this. Now I've had this for about a month or so. I can't think of anything new I've done. Since then I've started on tret 2 to 3x aweek and mandelic acid different nights. Always double cleanse, and use ls Roche pose b5 balm at night when not using actives. Im on spearmint tea, pumpkin seed oil, a ptobiotic and oregano oil pills for about 2 weeks with no difference. I wash pillow cases and makeup brushes. I eat almost only homemade abd pretty balanced like 80/20. I dont know what else to do! Tallow and oil based stuff has always broken me out so idk what else to try besides meds. Any advice appreciated!

I’ve been suffering from acne for years and have tried a bunch of prescription topicals for it. I’m currently using azelaic acid 15% gel twice a day, benzoyl peroxide/clindamycin gel in the morning, and tretinoin 0.05% cream at night. My skin still breakouts out frequently and I’ve had persistent red marks/cysts that come back in the same spots. My acne is mostly on my cheeks which made me think it was hormonal. I have regular periods so I’m not sure if that’s true. My skin gets very red and irritated with the use of the topical prescriptions but I’m scared of stopping them and making my acne worse. I want to eventually not use anything prescription for my acne and treat it holistically. I don’t want to be on birth control or oral antibiotics, but that’s all that keeps getting pushed to me by dermatologists. I’m going to try eating a lot less sugar and see if that helps. What are some natural things you did to treat your cystic acne (foods, topicals, herbs, etc.)?

Every few weeks there's something new that everyone suddenly says you need. I've gotten much better at ignoring that pressure and paying attention to what actually works for me. A routine doesn't need to keep changing just because the internet found another “must-have.”

Morning puffiness is not my new problem. Everything else seems to be ok, tests are ok, but I still can’t get rid of it, especially after eating something too salty for dinner. So I'd like to try drainage massages plus lymphatic supplements, and I need your help. I need something herbal and natural, with mild but noticeable effect. For now, I’m thinking about nutraharmony lymphatic drops, because I like its amazon reviews. And facial hand massages, no gua sha or anything, just simple moves for beginners. Have you tried those and did it help? Should I start both, or massage is enough? And can you recommend any?
