Bleach Headcanons: Skincare
Who’s the skincare expert and who uses just soap and water?
Tumblr media
Jushiro Ukitake:
He doesn’t believe in flashy skincare, thinking it needs to be convenient, gentle and affordable. Think of brands like Cerave, Cetaphil, and La Roche Posay. He’ll probably have a trusted cleanser he’s been using for years (centuries?), a reliable serum, maybe retinoid based (gotta use something anti-aging at this stage) and a good, hydrating moisturizer (illness makes his skin dry and he hates looking that way). 
Byakuya Kuchiki:
Can and will only buy the best of the best. A skincare snob. Even if there’s an amazing drugstore brand, he refuses to use it. SK II, Tatcha, and La Mer are all you’ll find in his bathroom cabinet. Of course he follows the 7 step Korean skincare routine. Cleanse twice, toner, essence, serum, moisturizer eye cream. Adds a sunscreen if he plans on going out. He will not compromise his routine for anything, so be prepared to wait for him as he goes through this process everyday, twice.
Renji Abarai:
He’ll pretend like he doesn’t do any skincare but he has his little stash of items he uses for self-indulgence. He enjoys wearing face masks (thanks to Rukia), which he applies after using a cleanser that’s trending, like from Tula or Drunk Elephant. The man somehow has balanced skin so he’ll use an everyday moisturizer like the Clinique Moisture Surge. 
Kensei Muguruma:
He uses his body wash as face wash, and whatever body moisturizer he has on hand he uses on his face too. What’s the point after all? It’s skin. As long as it’s clean and not cracking, there isn’t a problem. 
Mayuri Kurotsuchi:
He creates his own skincare but it’s kind of questionable. He claims his skin can tolerate quite a lot, so his skincare always has heavy amounts of acids in it; glycolic acid, salicylic acid, ascorbic acid. Top this off with a heavy dosage retinol. Does it work? We may never know from all the makeup he uses on his face. At least he removes all of it before sleeping (?). 
Kisuke Urahara:
He also makes his own concoctions, but in a much less dramatic way than Mayuri. Grows his own ingredients, like oranges for vitamin C, mint for salicylic acid, and carrots for retinol. Think of his products like a  clean, organic skincare line that he wouldn’t sell to anyone unless he’s happy with it himself. He rarely buys commercially available products but the one thing he will spend his money on is sheet masks, they’re convenient and he honestly finds them tedious to make on his own.
Shinji Hirako:
He may not show it, but this man is very self conscious about his appearance. He has a mix of both popular and indie skin care brands. Think Belif, Youth to the People and Drunk Elephant. He probably regularly cleanses and uses a moisturizer, maybe something with vitamin C in it, since he can’t have people seeing the dark circles under his eyes.
Ichigo Kurosaki:
Essence? Toner? Serums? Isn’t a cleanser just soap? Give him some bar soap and a CeraVe moisturizer. He doesn’t have time to figure this shit out. There’s people that need to be saved and stuff. 
Rose Otoribashi:
Yes, he knows the difference between a toner and an essence. He also thinks essences are a gimmick. Give him a balancing cleanser for his oily skin, and a toner with some salicylic acid in it to further help the oil. Add a vitamin C serum and a lightweight moisturizer and he’s ready to rock.

March favorites?
Tretinoin and a 2% BHA serum.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These 2 are a very powerful combo. I only use BHAs once a week, there are people who use it every single day and it is true that is a lot more gentle compared to other chemical exfoliators but I do not want to overexfoliate my skin or disrupt my skin barrier again like last year (when I would use the highest percentages of Vitamin C, AHA, Retinoids every day) so I make sure I only use it when I really need it. I use Tretinoin for anti-aging purposes only, it does not require a prescription where I live so I can get it at any pharmacy. 0.1% is the highest concentration available on the market and some people purge like crazy but I have been using it for on and off 4 years so my skin is used to it. My skin is far from perfect and sometimes I break out due to hormones, stress or lack of sleep and I need products to improve my skin texture. One of my favorite things is applying my 0.1% Tretinoin on Friday night and on Monday my skin begins flaking, I take my BHA Serum massaging it into my skin and it gets rid of all my dead skin cells and I love how my skin looks smooth and glowy the next days.
Garnier Hyaluronic Aloe Replumping Superserum.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I would never really purchase something from Garnier. However, my aunt was recently diagnosed with preoral dermatitis (it's terrible) and her dermatologist told her to stop using any makeup or skincare so she gave me most of her cosmetics that I have been trying out the past few weeks. This is one of my favorites. Whenever I use a hydrating ingredient I always spritz my face with water first to maximize its benefits and this serum makes my skin feel so much more hydrated and fresh, it has a very calming & pleasant smell, and I sometimes add another layer depending on my skin's needs. It gives me the perfect base before I move on to applying my skin makeup. What makes this serum amazing is that it includes so many different hydrating ingredients - Aloe, Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin... My skin loves this superserum so I use this one quite often.
Missha A'pieu BB Maker SPF 30/PA++
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is another product that proves to me that Korean makeup products are amazing. The BB creams I've tried from Western brands have been lackluster at best, they never match my skin tone, they look off on me but I bought this in 212 Natural Beige and it is so perfect. It's called 'BB cream' but this product is so high coverage that I would almost call it a foundation. When my order first arrived, I was shocked at how small the product was, I thought I'm gonna finish it in two weeks tops but the thing is you put 1/2 a pea size on the back of your hand and realize you could easily cover your whole face with it. I don't know how that's possible but you really need soooo little, only a teeny tiny amount and it's something I still need to learn, I put a 3/4 pea just to be safe and it always turns out to be way too much. I know someone who works for Missha so I got this product at a heavy discount, I ordered 2 and she sent 4, what a darling and what an amazing excuse to buy more products!
Apple AirPods (3rd Generation).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These were a gift from my mom, my Huawei Freebuds stopped working and I've been complaining about it nonstop so she surprised me with a pair of Airpods 3, she was torn between the 2 and 3 so she gave me the receipt to let me decide. I went in the next day and got them exchanged, and I love them. I can do calls, binge my shows, participate in virtual meetings, listen to podcasts on my way to uni, listen to music for hours on end with no issues and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a pair of good headphones, the battery lasts a long time as well. The headphones may feel weird at the beginning, like they could fall out any second which is why I was hesitant in the beginning but I got used to it, it does not bother me anymore. I also got a cute little case, it's silver stoned and I am not really a bling person but I did not want to get silicone because they stain and rip, I wanted to try something different, so I just went ahead and bought this one, I love how it sparkles and it is pretty much impossible to damage.
A White Long Sleeved Leotard.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I am obsessed with this long sleeved leotard, it is a game changer and I think this is the best purchases I have made this year. It literally solves 90% of all my cloth-related problems. When I go to the dance studio, I throw this on with my black leggings as a base layer, I just have to take off my skirt and I am good to go within seconds. The material is stretchy but very fitted and I love how the fabric feels on my skin, I also how it looks on me and how it emphasizes my slim arms and my small waist. The fabric is very thin but it is not see through so I can wear my cropped wrap tops and all my see through tops over it without looking frumpy. I love a fitted look so I can wear it on its own with a pleated dark navy skirt or a black pencil skirt (my favorite) as well. It is a 10/10 and I have already purchased many more in various colors and this is the type of thing I never knew I needed.
Love, Cat.

How to Apply Sunscreen Correctly
Tumblr media
Applying sunscreen might seem like a no-brainer, but the truth is that many of us are doing it wrong without even realising it. We've all been there, hastily slathering it on while rushing to catch those glorious sun rays. It's about time we slow down and learn how to do it right. After all, when it comes to sun protection, it's not just about having your bottle of SPF – it's about using it correctly.
Choose the right product.
Picking the right sunscreen is the first step towards effective sun protection. Ensure that the product you choose is broad-spectrum, implying that it protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Additionally, it should have a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 50 or higher. SPF 50 blocks about 98% of the sun's UV rays, which means it provides significantly better protection. Read the labels carefully and choose a product that ticks all the right boxes.
Apply to all sun-exposed skin areas.
Many people often overlook areas such as the ears, back of the neck, and tops of the feet when applying sunscreen. These spots are equally susceptible to harmful UV radiation and should not be neglected.
If you have thinning hair, a dab on the scalp or wearing a hat is necessary to prevent sunburn. Even if you don't think the sun is strong, UV rays can still cause harm to the exposed scalp, leading to a risk of skin cancer.
For hard-to-reach areas, you can use a spray sunscreen. Spray sunscreens offer the convenience of easy application, making sure you get even coverage on all those tricky spots.
Bear in mind that every little action matters when it comes to the care of your skin. Even if you're just running a quick errand, lounging on the beach, or working near a window, integrating this vital step of sunscreen application into your everyday skincare regimen can noticeably lessen your risk of skin damage. Even on overcast days, up to 80% of the sun's harmful UV rays can penetrate your skin, making consistent application crucial. Always read the label for reapplication instructions, as swimming or sweating can wash away the product.

Do you think yhe Terry face mask makes a difference? Also what are your current fave beauty products if you don't mind💞
I mean—your milage may vary, but when I woke up this morning my skin was a little plumper and more hydrated than usual (which is what I buy the masks for!) so, sure! BUT!!! It’s a pricey mask ($29 AUD), so I only buy them occasionally, for a little pampering (or to pregame an event!)! I really like sheet masks in general because they make a mundane routine (cleaning your face) more fun, but most of the time I buy Korean ones, which are way cheaper and just as (if not more!) effective! My skin concerns might be different to yours, but I buy masks to address one of several problems:
1. I’m having a breakout, and need my skin to calm the fuck down (teatree, generally, something that feels antiseptic)
2. I’m having a reaction, and need my skin to calm the fuck down (ingredients that will soothe it, cool down the redness!)
3. I’m tired and feel dry (so, something that feels nourishing or at least gives me an excuse to go lie down in a dark room and pretend I’m in a coffin for 15 minutes)
I don’t worry about anti-aging promises, or anything like that—sunscreen is the only thing I use that might even address that, and even then that’s less “anti-aging” and more “holy shit I don’t want the face doctor to dig cancer spots out of my face” LOL. As a whole I hate the whole, “omg you HAVE to prevent any visible signs of aging!!! don’t smile, don’t frown, don’t use your skin!!!” rhetoric that skincare and beauty in general markets itself off of. Fear mongering!!! A few lines and squiggles and saggy bits and pocks and divets make us interesting and human and idk—we’re lucky we get to age. 🥺
I use eye patches mostly for psychological reasons lmfao—like when I’ve been staring at a screen for too hard and too long. I have deep-set eye bags that aren’t going anywhere anytime soon, so I don’t bother with anything that claims much more than just “it’ll feel nice for a few minutes” lmaooo. The Patchology Rosé ones were a impulse buy, but they were fun!
After I saw your ask, though, I went and rummaged around in my drawers—I’m going to stay clear of anything too skincare-y, because YMMV, and I won’t include perfumes for the same reason, but after some thought, here’s my current faves:
Tumblr media
From left-to-right, top-to-bottom!
1. Jurlique Rose Moisture Plus Moisturising Cream Mask
2. Cancer Council Face Day Wear SPF50+ Serum (Sunscreen!)
3. Chantecaille Cheek Gelée Blush (I wear Vibrant! I’m also a big fan of their skincare range—I just repurchased the Hibiscus Smoothing Mask, it’s an exfoliator!)
4. Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush + Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation (I have Orchid Rose, in the blush, and the foundation is a light-to-medium coverage!)
5. Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder
6. Shiseido ColourGel Lip Balm (the colour I have is Redwood! It’s orangey on me. Their eyeshadows are fun to play with and come in single pans, but I got into Shiseido because of their toner! I actually have a complimentary service at Mecca Cosmetica that I need to use—I normally just let them slide away bc I like doing my own makeup LOL, but the girl serving me in-store on Friday was like, “nooo, you should use it! We can play with the Shiseido stuff!” so I was like okeee LOL fml im so easily led it’s not funny 😭)
7. Tatcha The Silk Canvas Primer (it’s novel to play with lmaooo, but it does a decent job! I like how it smells! I originally wanted the ELF putty—but every Kmart I went to was sold out, and a friend was like, oh, that’s a dupe for the Tatcha one so I was like, oke, lmaooo)
8. Caudalíe Grape Water Face Mist (Caudalíe is fun and I love the scent, but be wary of overpaying for it lmfao. I think people see French brands and are like ooooo, so fancy, but it’s basically a pharmacy brand! A great one, don’t get me wrong, but if you’re buying it for like three times the price then just—don’t, LOL. I bought the Grape Water on impulse from Sephora, because I needed a new face spray—but tbh unless you’re like, in France for a bit and walk past a store or a Citypharma then there are other, more easily accessible brands!!! Saying that, I live by their hand cream—it smells like sherbet and it’s such a delight to put on!! i like to give myself lil hand massages when I use it and i’m almost out and im going to be DEVASTATED when it’s gone. 🥹)
I haven’t listed any eye-products because I’m trying to find a mascara that doesn’t try to murder me while driving by stinging my eyes and smearing everywhere and then making the stinging worse which makes me tear up while I’m flying down the goddamn highway—but eyeshadow wise, I only have a couple of palettes, and a few single-pan shades! I have a Pat McGrath Mothership palette (Mothership II, sublime), which is my absolute favourite. And a Chanel quad, which is nice and portable! And then I impulse bought the Huda Rose Quartz palette last year, literally days before I sprained my ankle and ruined my life. I haven’t had much of a chance to wear it since! The colours are very dreamy—shimmery lavenders and pinks and I like the romance of the idea of wearing them, but—oh my God I just gave myself an idea for something. Maybe an anime boyfriend smearing our shimmery eyeshadow with his thumb??? hmmm hmm.

Sansa Stark Beauty Routine HC (modern au)
My first thought was : Sansa is a no-makeup makeup, skin care is everything, facemasks twice a week kind of girl.
I can see her spending an ungodly amount of money in that business yes yes. She has a mini fridge in which she keeps her products. She has way more than she needs obviously. So many, she doesn't notice when her siblings borrow from her endless collection. Consumerist queen, borderline annoying but too satisfying to be ridiculous. Yes she is that girl.
I kind of assume Sansa started doing skincare and makeup imitating her mother. So, even though she's young, her routine includes anti aging products she doesn't really need but uses out of habits.
I'm guessing that Sansa's main keywords for her look, are natural, fresh and glowy.
She wants to emphasize the glow of her skin, and even out the slight hyperpigmentation she can have due to the weather, and above all, she's looking for hydratation, because of the northern cold. I can see her using a lot of korean skincare in her everyday routine, for their simplicity and their efficacity, along side products she pick from Catelyn's routine.
Here's what this kind of makeup can look like on a redhead (my inspo pics)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So there's a routine mixing korean and danish (the north you get me) skincare products, and western makeup brands.
Glowing Essence
Vitamine C barrier booster lotion
Hydrating and glow serum
Brightening gel creme
Repulping lipbalm
As for makeup, still, I'm guessing the goal is to be glowy, luminous, natural (but not as natural as not putting anything on).
Additionally, I'm thinking Sansa is sensible to the marketing and the packaging of a product. It has to be pretty, it has to be popular. I think she puts a lot of care in the appearance of her skin, because she aims for a natural but flawless finish.
So I'm proposing :
a glowy serum makeup base
a skin tint serum with spf
a more full coverage concealer for eventual spots
an under eye brightener
So, nothing completely full coverage or mat, everything on the sheer, glowy, hydrating side of things. Next, for setting this and putting some color on :
Here we have :
a korean pressed setting powder (extract of peach which I think Sansa would find excessively cute)
a pink tinted moisture stick on the cheeks and on the nose
a bronzy highlighter im guessing she would use as a bronzer
a highlighter stick
So here, I'd comment she would set under her eyes and around her nose to avoid creasing, but since I think her skin would have a more dry tendancy, I don't think she would powder everywhere. So, a very natural and glowy blush she would use almost everyday with nothing else one.
When it's summer and she feels fancy, she uses bronze highlighting drops, that plays like a bronzer on her skin.
When she goes for a colder look, she uses an almost white, sheer highlighter, with almost holo reflects, which on a pale skin, can look very inner glow.
For the rest of her face, I think she would focus on the lips and her eyebrows : I'm guessing she has pale brown, maybe blonde eyebrows and wants to emphasize them. And her lips because I think she would want to balance the top of her face, with very blue eyes and structured eyebrows, with pink and glossy lips.
a brow pen because daddy said no to real microblading
tinted lip balm that adapts to your natural tint
or a water based lip tint
a pink lip oil
As for her eyes, I don't think she would do too much here. Probably a brown mascara for everyday, maybe a smudged brown khol liner or black mascara when she's feeling brave, or some cold very light blue glitter, when she's feeling cute.
She would probably try herself to some more artsy vibes, with white liners and shimmers when she gets a little bit older and experienced. Ultimately, she uses makeup to improve her looks, to make her feel more confident in her own features.
okay bye send me an ask if you want the detail for another asoiaf character
disclaimer : also I do not want to encourage mindless consumerism, keep in mind that no one needs makeup. images are here to illustrate my meaning for people not familiar with makeup. I personnally didn't try any of those products.

K-beauty Recovery Reaction! Concentrated Care Guide
Hello! Hello! Hello!
I'm Kim Daehan, the representative of incellderm , the No.1 cosmetics brand in Korea!
Exciting news! Riman Korea has expanded its reach to the United States and Canada! Wow! Applause!! Now, let me guide you on how to become a "Beauty Planner" in the US and Canada!
🌈 INCELLDERM able&co us. Becoming a Beauty Planner!
[must read]How to Join as a Beauty Planner - Step by Step Guide(Click)
🌈 Expansion of Incellderm to the United States and Canada! We are excited to announce that Incellderm is now available in the United States and Canada! Customers in these regions can now experience the benefits of our premium skincare products. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"If you are an Incellderm business owner&beauty planner, one thing you must absolutely master is 'Positive Reaction (Skin Regeneration Reaction).' Isn't it the immediate reaction that stands out? The cause of typical positive reactions and detailed coping methods:
Customers experiencing positive reactions show a variety of individual responses, which is why you need to continuously study. I also realized that my knowledge and coping methods regarding positive reactions are insufficient, which could lead to adverse effects on skin management.
Positive Reaction Q&A:
When using Incellderm, various positive reactions appear.
What is a Positive Reaction? Similar to traditional Korean medicine's 'Myeonghyeonbanhaeng' (明顯班現), it refers to a phenomenon where the skin temporarily worsens before improving. Understanding the principle behind positive reactions allows you to enjoy the process as the accumulated epidermal toxins are expelled, and the dermal layer gets replenished. Familiarize yourself with the typical symptoms of positive reactions, their underlying principles, and appropriate coping strategies."
🌈 Itching
Q: Some people experience itching after using Incellderm. Why does this happen?
A: Itching is a clear sign that the dermal layer is undergoing some changes. Incellderm is formulated using the drug delivery system called 'liposome.' The active ingredients of the multi-layered liposome penetrate the skin rapidly, stimulating the capillaries and causing the sensation of itching. This is because new blood vessels are formed, and new skin is generated as the wound heals and the scab falls off. The itching usually occurs in the initial stages but does not last long. However, if the itching persists, it may be necessary to investigate other causes.
Mild Irritation: Itchy sensation accompanied by a feeling like environmental factors are causing it, similar to having hair or insects stuck to the face. ▶ In the basic skincare routine, apply calming gel and serum generously. (Apply the calming gel first and then the serum on top of it.)
Itching Accompanied by Warmth: Caused by strong penetration. ▶ Adjust the application order - Cream → Serum (As the amino acid components in the booster may cause warmth and tingling, reduce the amount of booster used.)
Itching in Trouble or Wounded Areas: Caused by tiny wounds on the skin, often seen in sensitive skin. ▶ Adjust the application area (avoid using on troubled or wounded areas), and to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, apply sun gel frequently when going out. Also, maintain excellent hygiene.
Severe Itching: If you experience intense itching that does not subside even when scratched, you should discontinue use. Be cautious about secondary infections caused by scratching with your hands. (Avoid scratching or irritating the skin with your hands as much as possible.) If you have atopic dermatitis, you should seek medical treatment. Please note that the translation provided here is for informational purposes, and it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional or an expert for personalized advice and solutions related to any skin issues.
🌈 Dead Skin Cells (Keratinization)
Tumblr media
Q: I used to have few dead skin cells, but after using Incellderm, I am experiencing an increase in dead skin cells. Why is this happening?
A: When using Incellderm, the 'keratinization cycle (the cycle of skin cells being generated and shed)' accelerates. In healthy individuals, the keratinization cycle typically takes around 28 days. However, as one ages and undergoes the process of aging, the keratinization cycle also lengthens. For instance, in their 40s, it could be around 40 days, in their 50s, it could be around 50 days, and so on.
Incellderm activates the cells in the dermal layer, pushing accumulated dead skin cells quickly to the surface and normalizing the keratinization cycle. Therefore, you may notice more dead skin cells than usual.
Additionally, dead skin cells are a process of expelling remnants of synthetic surfactants accumulated in the body. As epidermal toxins and impurities are eliminated, the skin tone becomes clearer and brighter.
Please note that you should distinguish dead skin cells from 'psoriasis.' Psoriasis is a condition where unshed dead skin cells accumulate and form a thick armor-like barrier on the skin, causing it to become hard and rigid. For psoriasis, it is essential to seek medical treatment from a dermatologist.
Dry Dead Skin Cells: This refers to fine, dandruff-like flaking, especially around the jawline. This is caused by nutritional deficiency between dead skin cells.
▶ Avoid artificial peeling using washcloths or exfoliating products. Instead, opt for gentle cleansing and moisturizing, allowing dead skin cells to shed naturally. (Drink plenty of water.)
Oily Dead Skin Cells: This type of dead skin cells appear in the form of clumps due to the combination of sebum and dead skin cells, resembling dirt.
▶ Oily dead skin cells can block pores and cause skin troubles, so make sure to perform deep cleansing frequently.
※ Deep Cleansing Method: Create a rich foam with an active powder cleanser using a foaming tool and apply it to the entire face except the eye area, leaving it on for 2-3 minutes. After some time, when the foam penetrates into the pores, rinse with lukewarm water.
If you have attempted exfoliation:
▶ Refrain from additional peeling as it can worsen the condition and cause further irritation. Instead, opt for regular moisturization using calming gel and stay hydrated.
🌈 Facial Redness, Tingling Sensation
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Q: Some people experience redness and occasional tingling sensations on their faces.
A: The development of facial redness and increased redness is often due to skin dehydration. The same applies to tingling sensations. When the skin is dry, especially when it is extremely dry, it means that under a microscope, the lipids between the keratin cells have collapsed, resulting in cracked and flaky skin. In this state, with the lipid layer being disrupted, moisture can easily penetrate, leading to tingling sensations.
This sensation is similar to how steam rises and heat is generated when water is poured onto a dry rice paddy. Usually, tingling sensations and warmth go hand in hand.
Warmth is a typical symptom of the abundant penetration of amino acids. The main ingredients in boosters and serums, amino acids are quickly absorbed into the dermis, causing this sensation. Adjusting the application order is recommended for better results. (Use in the order of sensitivity: Cream -> Serum -> Booster.)
🌈 Red Spots
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Q: How should I deal with the appearance of red spots?
A: Red spots often occur due to external factors. If they come and go like hives (urticaria), it might be a positive reaction. However, if a specific area continues to worsen, it is more likely to be dermatitis, and you should seek advice from a dermatologist.
If accompanied by itching: The possibility of contact dermatitis is high (e.g., touching your face with dirty hands). Itching is often caused by skin dehydration.
▶ Avoid dry environments and ensure proper hydration. In the basic skincare routine, using oil mist and calming gel can be helpful. Applying sun gel regularly will provide moisture and soothing benefits to the skin.
Fever and rash: Some people frequently wash their face to cool down, but excessive washing can actually dry out the skin.
▶ Reduce the frequency of washing and focus on moisturizing and soothing. Differentiate between hives and dermatitis, and if it's dermatitis, discontinue the use of products.
Occurrence in specific areas (around the eyes, nose, and mouth): Increased activity of sebaceous glands is the main cause. This symptom appears due to an imbalance in the oil and moisture levels.
▶ Perform deep cleansing and restore the oil-moisture balance in the basic skincare routine, especially using oil mist. For the specific area with red spots, take a break from using boosters, serums, and creams, and instead, apply calming gel to prevent enlarged pores.
(Dab calming gel on a cotton pad and apply it to the specific area.)
🌈 Facial Swelling
Q: My face looks swollen, as if it's puffy. Is this a side effect?
A: It is not a side effect. Incellderm is designed to be absorbed into the skin. However, if a customer using the product has poor peripheral circulation due to diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, or other reasons, the absorbed cosmetics may become stagnant in the skin, leading to swelling.
If you have been taking medication for diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, or other conditions for a long time, it is advisable to give yourself a period of one or two months to adapt to the product.
Excessive Use: Swelling can occur due to excessive protein intake.
▶ In particular, avoid excessively using cream, as it can cause issues. (Reduce the amount used.)
Swelling Accompanied by Warmth and Itching: This is common among those who frequent saunas or steam rooms.
▶ Avoid saunas and ensure consistent soothing using cold packs or cold compresses.
Switching from Other Products: Accumulated toxins in the skin might be the cause. Chemical cosmetics often contain harmful substances that can accumulate in the skin. When switching to Incellderm from other cosmetics, these toxins may try to be expelled but get stuck, leading to swelling.
▶ To aid in the smooth elimination of toxins, perform lymph node massage. After showering, mix booster and serum in a ratio of 7:3 and apply it to areas such as behind the ears, armpits, and groin, where lymph nodes are located.
Uneven Swelling: This is also often caused by excessive usage. Excessive cream application can lead to mucous edema.
▶ Maintain consistent soothing while adjusting the amount of product used.
🌈 Hyperpigmentation, Freckles, Skin Tone Changes
Q: After using Incellderm, I've noticed an increase in freckles. Also, why does my skin tone keep fluctuating between looking good and bad?
A: It usually takes about 3 to 6 months for melanin spots that were in the dermis to rise to the epidermis. So, it's not possible for freckles to appear immediately after using Incellderm.
The melanocytes that create freckles are located in the innermost layer of the epidermis called the basal layer. What we see as freckles is actually melanocytes filled up to the stratum corneum layer. When you start using Incellderm, the skin condition improves rapidly, and the melanocytes in the basal layer are pushed up to the stratum corneum, so it may seem like freckles are increasing for a while.
However, with continuous use of the product, freckles will gradually become lighter and clearer.
During the initial 7 to 15 days of product usage, the skin tone becomes clearer due to various beneficial cell growth factors, and after about 15 days, the skin tone may fluctuate between good and bad.
This is because the skin, as a tissue composed of cells, promotes cell division when stimulated by various growth factors, much like when it was young. The promotion of cell division means that what was inside the skin is pushed up, which also means that more dead skin cells are produced.
Cells born in the skin rise to the surface and stay there in the form of dead skin cells until they eventually fall off. This process is called turnover, and the normal turnover cycle of healthy skin is about 28 days. Incellderm promotes this skin regeneration process, and the time it becomes visible to the naked eye is around 7 to 15 days after using the product. This is when you might notice your skin tone fluctuating between looking good and bad.
External factors such as pregnancy, genetics, medication use, hormonal changes, and weakened immunity can also cause these phenomena.
If you have undergone treatments for removing freckles or freckle-like pigmentation, the condition you're experiencing might be due to dermal freckles surfacing, and they can reappear at any time.
Neglecting sun protection: Many people tend to focus only on using boosters, serums, and creams and overlook the use of sun gel when going outside (e.g., applying only cream before going out). Proper sun protection is crucial to prevent hyperpigmentation and freckles.
Temporary darkening or dullness of the skin: This is a natural fluctuation in the brightness of the skin and will improve on its own over time.
🌈 Tightness, Dryness
Q: When I use the product, I feel tightness and dryness. What is the reason behind this?
A: The skin is a very thin tissue and cannot distinguish well between the sensation of collagen being formed, which causes tightness, and the dry feeling on the surface due to the dry stratum corneum layer.
When spider-web-like collagen is produced and released, it resists gravity and lifts the skin back up, resulting in a feeling of tightness and increased skin elasticity.
In the case of Incellderm, both of these effects occur:
Inner Tightness: Enjoy this sensation as it is the lifting effect due to collagen production. However, be cautious not to use the product excessively due to misunderstanding.
Surface Dryness (Epidermal Dryness): Proper cleansing and sufficient moisturization are necessary. If the tightness is severe, applying a generous amount of calming gel like a pack before going to bed can help alleviate the sensation.
Insufficient Moisturization: Surprisingly, many people don't drink enough water during the day. Make sure to drink around 2 liters of water daily. Sufficient moisturization enhances the absorption of boosters, serums, and creams. You can think of it like a dry sponge that repels water versus a slightly damp sponge that absorbs more water. Improving lifestyle habits is also important. Consuming salty and carbonated foods, as well as coffee, can deplete the body's moisture.
Dermis Cracking: Although rare, if your skin cracks and bleeding occurs, immediately discontinue the use of the product and seek advice from a dermatologist.
Remember that finding the right balance in product usage and maintaining good skincare habits can help address the tightness and dryness issues effectively.
🌈 Expression Lines
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Q: The product I'm using has dual functionality for whitening and wrinkle improvement, but why do I feel like I have more wrinkles now?
A: The cause of wrinkles is the aging of collagen tissues in the dermis, which makes the boundary between the epidermis and dermis uneven. When collagen in the dermis starts to be produced and released like spider webs, the boundary between the epidermis and dermis becomes uneven for a while, resulting in the appearance of wrinkles that weren't there before. However, the wrinkles caused by the product's use do not last long. As wrinkles appear and disappear repeatedly, the dermis gradually fills up, and the boundary between the epidermis and dermis becomes flatter. As a result, the skin's surface becomes smoother, leading to the ultimate wrinkle improvement effect.
Expression lines are wrinkles that occur when unabsorbed ceramides (*ceramides are ingredients most similar to skin cells, and Incellderm products are manufactured using the method of encapsulating active ingredients with ceramides to deliver them to the dermis). This phenomenon can appear as if a vinyl wrap is applied to the skin. This occurs when the product is used excessively, so reducing the amount used can help.
Especially when you apply too much cream around the eye area, it can irritate the delicate skin around the eyes and lead to the appearance of expression lines. To address these expression lines, reduce the amount used and make sure to thoroughly moisturize the area.
By maintaining the proper usage of the product and paying attention to how much is applied, you can achieve the desired results without experiencing any unwanted effects on your skin.
🌈 Troubles (Skin Issues)
Tumblr media
Q: I have developed pimples. What should I do?
A: Pimples and other skin troubles can occur from time to time. In particular, women may experience recurring pimples in relation to their menstrual cycles.
One of the causes of skin troubles is the accumulation of epidermal toxins. Conventional cosmetics use a mixture of water and oil with synthetic surfactants, which may contain harmful epidermal toxins. People who have used chemical cosmetics in the past may have a higher likelihood of having epidermal toxins accumulated in their skin. When using Incellderm products, as the overall condition of the skin improves and the epidermal toxins are eliminated from the skin, a reaction like the improvement of pimples can occur. To minimize such reactions, it is advisable to start using the product with a small amount and gradually increase it to allow for an adaptation period.
Pustules (Pus-filled pimples): They can occur from overusing the product. This is caused by insufficient absorption of protein, leading to the formation of skin troubles. Adjust the usage amount and pay attention to moisturizing. The primary cause of pustules is lack of moisture. When there is not enough moisture, pimples are more likely to form. If pimples have already appeared, apply a calming gel pack to the affected area. (Dip a cotton pad in calming gel and place it on the affected area.)
Comedones (Blackheads and whiteheads): These occur when sebum becomes trapped under the layer of dead skin cells in the pores. Use deep cleansing at least once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells.
Vesicles (Inflammatory bumps): If skin troubles are accompanied by vesicles, it is not a reaction caused by using Incellderm products. These are caused by internal factors such as herpes virus or shingles. In such cases, immediately stop using the product and seek medical treatment.
Prolonged use of a specific brand: Skin troubles can occur due to the residual synthetic surfactants from the prolonged use of conventional chemical cosmetics.
🌈 Other Improvement Reactions
Q: Could it be flat warts?
Tumblr media
A: It is easy to confuse flat warts with comedones (blackheads and whiteheads). Flat warts are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) and are often seen when the immune system is weakened. Flat warts are highly contagious, so avoid squeezing them and seek dermatological treatment promptly.
Q: My eyes feel irritated, teary, and uncomfortable, as if there's something in my eyes.
A: Incellderm products are designed to penetrate deep into the skin, so as you age, around your 40s to 50s, your eyes may feel uncomfortable for a while. People with dry eye syndrome may experience this discomfort. The beneficial ingredients in the product help improve the function of the tear glands, leading to increased tear production. With continuous use and adaptation, your eyes should no longer feel uncomfortable.
Q: I haven't lost weight, but people say my face looks smaller, as if I've lost weight.
A: As you age, the skin inside the face may become less dense, and due to gravity, the skin can start to sag. However, with Incellderm products, the skin inside becomes gradually filled, and with consistent use for about 6 months to 1 year, the skin is lifted, resulting in a balanced facial line and making your face appear smaller.

‘One, two, connect!’— South Korean Boy Group ENHYPEN, who wrecked numbers of chart-topping music charts and billboards, sold out thousands of album copies and is now called “The Future Powerhouse of K-Pop,” became the newest Ambassadors of the Local Brand Cosmetics’ BYS’ as it celebrated their 10th Anniversary at the You be You Campaign. Their members Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, and Ni-ki promote the products as the campaign’s main ambassadors. Released last 2022 on the 1st week of October, it was the teaser of the Korean Boy Group promoting the newest collaboration with BYS called “You be You.” The brand “BYS” offers quality and affordable makeup and skincare cosmetics best used for Filipina skin. Moreover, the collaboration with ENHYPEN and BYS propounds the idea of setting new and playful experiences to create, innovate and empower users to be their best version of themselves by using these products that paved the way to a powerful collaboration with Enhypen.
The Collaboration line itself contains products that have seasonal versions depending on which color palette you’ll tend to choose from. Upon purchasing kits, you’ll be able to get a ticket for their Fun Meet that happened last December 3, 2022, at the Araneta Coliseum. In conclusion, their fandom name “Engenes” purchased thousands of kits to have the chance to see the K-Pop idols in person and created waves of purchases in the first week resulting in multiple-tier sellouts. One of the reasons was the golden ticket that happened to have a special chance to see the K-Pop Idols up close. Engenes initiated restocking tickets for the seats, which indeed did the marketing strategy work, and served its proper job.
With its strategy, the collaboration products and the fan meet did have a win-win marketing. With how the products have been purchased in the side of the Cosmetic Brand, and the chance to see the K-Pop idols in their very first Manila Fan Meeting Experience was beyond uproar and created a frenzy not only in the fandom but almost in all K-Pop sanity in the Philippines. Media Manipulation, as far as I could analyze, could potentially be present in this advertisement collaboration. Being physically present during the fan meet event—the handling of almost everything was negligent and reckless, very unorganized. Considering the number of fans present during the event deceived by the fruitful teasers and posters, they sure milked out the idols by carelessly managing the event and the advertisements. 
But with all things considered, it cannot be denied that the fact it was broadcasted to different channel sources of the country—mainstream, online, and social media platforms were shaken by how the marketing of the collaboration advertisement became viral and controversial at the same time—it was indeed an effective play of advertisement. As an engene myself, it sure made the group well-known in a broader reach of the audience not only in the K-Pop world but also in the whole country.

both apples and the 🍈
🍎 Is there something you straight up won’t write?
Any really explicit trans fics. Even reading them is a very thin line I have to walk, and with the minimal experience I do have, I don't trust myself to write something that won't be either dysphoria-inducing or just inaccurate.
🍏 Is there something you overuse, whether it’s a certain phrase, trope, or piece of punctuation?
Oh god I have such a habit of included person A leaning against the door frame while person B is having a conversation with them. I know there’s more but that’s all I can remember rn
🍈 Who’s your blorbo and what are some of your favorite specific headcanons/ideas about them that repeatedly show up in your fics? Free pass to rant about blorbo opinions
Background characters: -Brigham, at least, was raised mormon or by mormons. Look at his fucking name. But the whole mormon ivies thing is part of my brand at this point. -Halo is a party girl who went to raves in her free time. -Fritz graduated top of his class at TOPGUN. -Omaha, despite popular belief, is one of those "quiet until I know you" types, but he warms up quickly. -This whole group (all five, the sorority girls as I affectionately call them), went to flight school together, where, to quote @rad-topgunn "halo, fritz, and Yale get wasted one night and huddle in the bathtub together, pinky promise to have each other's backs and form an asian alliance" -those three love messing with Brigham, who took latin in college, but he can't speak a single one of the languages (Korean, Tagalog, Mandarin) that any of them speak.
Jake: Grew up the oldest of like 4 or 5 siblings, most of whom were sisters. Learned to braid hair and first aid by the time he hit double digits because they were even worse than him about being hands-on, and his parents were busy, so he was delegated those tasks (he loved it, though)
Bradley: Has a tattoo of a cartoon goose running with a plane in its beak on his ass from his early days in flight school. Got drunk as shit and did it on a dare. Didn't take care of his curls until he and Jake started dating the first time. Refuses skincare for himself but loves helping any of the others with theirs when they have hangouts that go a little long. Wants to adopt, specifically an older teenage boy.

Retinol Cream in Qatar: Discovering the Power of Korean Beauty Products
Introduction
Hey there, skincare enthusiasts! If you’ve been on the hunt for flawless skin, you’ve probably heard the buzz about retinol and Korean beauty products. And if you’re in Qatar, you’re in for a treat. The desert climate can be tough on your skin, but don’t worry—we've got the inside scoop on how retinol cream and Korean beauty products can be your skin’s best friends.
Tumblr media
What is Retinol?
So, what exactly is retinol? Simply put, retinol is a form of vitamin A that’s a superstar in the skincare world. It works wonders by speeding up cell turnover, which means it helps your skin shed old, dead cells and make way for fresh, new ones. This magic ingredient is known for its anti-aging benefits, acne-fighting power, and overall skin-improving abilities.
Why Retinol Cream is Popular in Qatar
In Qatar, where the climate can be extremely harsh, retinol cream has become a skincare staple. The dry, hot weather can lead to various skin issues like dryness, premature aging, and hyperpigmentation. Retinol cream addresses these concerns by moisturizing, smoothing out fine lines, and evening out skin tone. Plus, who doesn’t want to combat those pesky signs of aging?
Benefits of Using Retinol Cream
Retinol cream isn’t just a one-trick pony. Here are some of the main advantages:
Anti-Aging Properties: Retinol is known for reducing fine lines and wrinkles. It boosts collagen production, making your skin look plumper and more youthful.
Acne Treatment: Struggling with acne? Retinol can help unclog pores and prevent future breakouts.
Improved Skin Texture and Tone: Regular use of retinol can make your skin smoother and more even-toned.
Understanding Korean Beauty Products
Korean beauty, or K-beauty, has taken the world by storm, and for good reason. The K-beauty philosophy focuses on nurturing your skin with natural ingredients and a multi-step routine that promotes long-term health over quick fixes. Key ingredients often found in Korean skincare include snail mucin, ginseng, and, of course, retinol.
Top Korean Beauty Brands Available in Qatar
If you’re ready to dive into the world of K-beauty, here are some of the of the top brands you can find in Qatar:
Laneige: Famous for its hydrating products, Laneige’s Water Sleeping Mask is a cult favorite.
Innisfree: Known for its eco-friendly approach and natural ingredients sourced from Jeju Island.
Missha: Offers a wide range of affordable, high-quality products, including the popular Time Revolution First Treatment Essence.
Choosing the Right Retinol Cream
When it comes to picking the perfect retinol cream, consider your skin type and needs. Here’s what to look for:
Skin Type Considerations: If you have sensitive skin, opt for a lower concentration of retinol. For those with more resilient skin, higher concentrations might be more effective.
Concentration Levels: Retinol creams come in different strengths, usually ranging from 0.25% to 1%. Start with a lower concentration if you’re new to retinol.
Additional Ingredients: Look for creams with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or calming ingredients like niacinamide to balance retinol’s potency.
How to Introduce Retinol Cream into Your Skincare Routine
Using retinol cream is a bit of an art. Here’s a simple guide:
Start Slow: Begin by applying retinol cream every other night to let your skin adjust.
Cleanse First: Always apply retinol to clean, dry skin.
Follow with Moisturizer: Retinol can be drying, so follow up with a good moisturizer.
Sun Protection: Retinol makes your skin more sensitive to the sun, so don’t skip the sunscreen.
Potential Side Effects and How to Avoid Them
Retinol is powerful, and with great power comes great responsibility. Some common side effects include dryness, redness, and peeling. To minimize these:
Use a Gentle Cleanser: Avoid harsh soaps that can further irritate your skin.
Moisturize Well: Keep your skin hydrated to combat dryness.
Introduce Slowly: Gradually increase the frequency of use as your skin builds tolerance.
Where to Buy Retinol Cream in Qatar
Finding the right products can be a challenge, but here are some tips:
Online Retailers: Websites like BeautyBox Qatar and Sephora Qatar offer a variety of options.
Physical Stores: Check out local pharmacies like Boots and beauty stores like Faces for trusted brands.
Tips for Authenticity: Always buy from reputable sellers to ensure you’re getting genuine products.
Customer Reviews and Testimonials
Wondering what others think? Here’s a sneak peek into some reviews:
Positive Feedback: Many users rave about the noticeable improvements in their skin’s texture and reduction in fine lines.
Common Concerns: Some users report initial dryness and irritation, which typically subsides with regular use.
Korean Beauty Stores in Qatar
If you prefer shopping in person, here are some top stores to visit:
K-Beauty Qatar: Known for its extensive range of Korean skincare products.
Al Malki Trading Company: Offers personalized skincare consultations to help you find the perfect products.
Qatar Duty Free: Frequently hosts K-beauty events and promotions.
The Future of Korean Beauty Products in Qatar
Korean beauty products are here to stay. With the growing interest in skincare, the market for K-beauty in Qatar is expected to expand. Trends suggest more innovative products and a wider availability in local stores.
Expert Tips for Using Retinol Cream
We reached out to dermatologists for their top tips:
Dermatologist Advice: Start with a pea-sized amount and avoid using retinol around the eyes.
Do's and Don'ts: Don’t mix retinol with other strong actives like AHAs or BHAs. Do pair it with soothing ingredients.
Conclusion
In a nutshell, retinol cream and Korean beauty products can revolutionize your skincare routine, especially in Qatar’s challenging climate. With the right approach, you can achieve healthier, glowing skin. So, why wait? Dive into the world of retinol and K-beauty today!

Products were gifted for free by the brand CKD Guaranteed and the Picky app in exchange for my honest reviews.
If you can’t tell from the pics I had some issues with the mask, so I had to take off at least one star from my review. I had to cut it because the eye holes were too small and kept slipping down into my eyes. I also ended up accidentally tearing the mask when I was trying to reposition it. And the nose flap kept flipping into my nose whenever I breathed through my nose. 😂 So next time I wear one, I know I need to cut it down even though it was already a two piece mask. I have a small face, so I was surprised the eye holes were too small (even after repositioning). But if you have a longer nose than mine, this would probably work out perfectly!
The scent was really strong on both products, and a lot of you know by now that strongly scented skincare isn’t for me. This smelled overwhelming floral and gave me a tickle in the back of my throat. I also disliked how sticky this mask left my skin feeling. You do have to wear the mask for a half an hour. I thought it was cool that the mask changed color when it’s ready to come off. But it felt like my skin did not want to absorb the essence from this mask, even when I applied a moisturizer on top of it. This only got a three star rating from me.
For the neck cream, I like the fact that it is a stainless steel roller since it is easier to sanitize. Including the term “gua sha” on a simple massage tool is inaccurate. A gua sha is a particular tool from Chinese medicine, not a simple massage tool like this one. The scent was just as strong on this one as the face mask, which was something I didn’t like on this product as well. And this one made me break out and feel itchy. I ended up being a little disappointed by both products.
