What Is Salicylic Acid and what are the benefits of salicylic acid for skin?

What Is Salicylic Acid

Salicylic acid is a type of beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that is commonly used in skincare products for its various benefits, particularly for treating skin issues such as acne and exfoliating the skin. Let’s see some key aspects of salicylic acid and what are the benefits of salicylic acid for skin. Here we have listed some most powerful Salicylic acid benefits for skin. Let’s have a quick look.

Salicylic acid benefits for skin

Exfoliation:

Salicylic acid is a chemical exfoliant, which means it helps to remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. This can help improve skin texture, unclog pores, and promote a more radiant complexion. Unlike alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), which are water-soluble and work on the skin's surface, salicylic acid is oil-soluble, so it can penetrate into the pores to provide a deeper exfoliation.

Acne Treatment:

Salicylic acid is highly effective in treating acne and related skin conditions. It works by breaking down the bonds between skin cells, which helps to unclog pores and prevent the formation of acne lesions, including blackheads and whiteheads.

Oil Control:

Salicylic acid has oil-reducing properties, making it suitable for individuals with oily or combination skin. It can help regulate oil production and reduce shine.

Reduces Inflammation:

Salicylic acid also has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help soothe redness and irritation associated with acne and other skin conditions.

Treating Keratosis Pilaris:

This acid is sometimes used to treat keratosis pilaris, a common skin condition characterized by small, rough bumps on the skin, often found on the arms and thighs.

Improving Skin Tone and Texture:

Regular use of products containing salicylic acid can lead to a smoother, more even skin tone and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.

Pore Size Reduction:

By unclogging pores and reducing inflammation, salicylic acid can make pores appear smaller and less noticeable.

Wart Removal:

Salicylic acid is sometimes used to treat common warts and plantar warts by softening and removing the layers of affected skin.

Mild Exfoliation for Sensitive Skin:

Salicylic acid is generally milder and less irritating than some other chemical exfoliants, like glycolic acid. This makes it suitable for individuals with sensitive skin who may not tolerate stronger exfoliants.

It's important to note that while salicylic acid can be highly beneficial for many people, it may not be suitable for everyone. Some individuals with very sensitive or dry skin may find it too harsh, and it's important to use it as directed and consult with a dermatologist if you have specific concerns about your skin. Additionally, using sunscreen is crucial when using products containing salicylic acid because it can make the skin more sensitive to UV damage.

My skin actually looks so good rn for the most part . I guess the secret is to not use any extra shit and only use the most basic face wash and moisturizer

#I wanted a 1 million step skincare routine :/#jk but #I was using cerave face wash and moisturizer and either niacinamide serum or Salicylic acid serum #I stopped using all of those :/#except the cerave moisturizer #I use that in the morning

Hiii! For the Hanahaki event can I request Vil (romantic) with prompt #7? A gender neutral reader would be appreciated, thanks!!

Also if youre up for it maybe prompt #12 with Ace (Platonic) with the reader’s object of affection still being Vil? This prompt with Ace is too funny for me to ignore I just HAVE to sneak him in 😭😭

vil schoenheit, platonic!ace trappola x gn!reader [tags] – fluff, humor, semi enemies-to-friends-to-lovers, sickenly sweet [wc} – 3,458 prompt 7: “I've heard of wearing your heart on your sleeve, but wearing petals in your hair is a whole new level of fashion statement.” prompt 12: "No, I haven't been growing marigolds out of my ass. Why would you even ask that?!” note - writing this was surprisingly hard. but i got it and i think it's very cute, i just hope Vil is mostly in character :skull: also i don't know german so idk if the nickname is an accurate translation! comments loved and appreciated! a floral inconvenience

Marigold: often used during festivals like Diwali and Navratri, marigolds symbolize purity, auspiciousness, and the divine.

You were going to murder him.

“Heyyyyyy Prefect!” Ace gave you a cheeky grin as he held your glass bottle of very expensive salicylic acid serum, balancing it precariously between his fingers. “What about this? Can I take this—whoops!”

“ACE!”

You shrieked as the bottle slipped from his fingers, only to be caught by his other hand, an infuriating grin still on his hand.

“Hehe, relax! I’m just messing around—oh shit!” The bottle slipped again from his fingers as a now panicked Ace scrambled to capture it. “Oop. Got it. It’s fine.”

“Oh my gooooooooood, Ace, I’m going to fucking kill you, give that back!” You snatched the bottle from his hands, giving him a good kick behind the knees as you walked past him.

“Owwwww, Prefect, why are you so mean to me?” Ace pouted as you put your serum back on your desk with the rest of the skincare Vil had gifted everyone at the start of the SDC training. Ace continued whining as he packed his bags to go back to Heartslabyul, being left behind by Deuce who went to get snacks from Sam’s with Epel.

He felt bad that all the food you had was cursed by Vil at the beginning.

“It’s almost like you want me out of your dorm, kinda rude, you know.”

“You know what’s rude?” You smacked down the pillow Ace threw your way as you huffed, “Your face. Ugly ass, you know you had a room next door, how’d all your stuff end up in my room?”

Ace shrugged as he shoved his wrapped up sweater into the now bulky backpack he’d brought over, throwing himself onto your bed and grunting as he bounced on the squeaky frame.

“I don’t know, how’d you burn the Queen of Hearts’s statue—”

“That was you—”

“—the world will never know.”

You rolled you eyes as you laid on your stomach next to him, hugging a spare pillow to your face. Closing your eyes, you sighed as the events of the last few weeks replayed in your head. Between acting as manager for the SDC group, to barely keeping up with classes, to Vil’s overblot, you were utterly exhausted. Speaking of Vil…

“Ah, that’s right, I should check on Vil before he leaves. I wonder if he’s doing okay?”

“With you at his beck and call? Perfectly fine, I guarantee you.” Ace yelped as you smacked his side, giving him a red-faced glare.

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

Ace turned on his side with a teasing smirk. The kind of smirk he gave you whenever he wanted to fluster and embarrass you in front of your friends and teachers.

“It means whatever you want it to mean. Maybe someone should consider not acting like a little kid with a crush whenever they’re around Vil—owowowowowow—stop hitting me!”

You pounded your fists onto Ace’s sides and back as he tried to roll away from your reach, arms cradling his head in meek protection. He managed to roll off the bed, turning over to look at you briefly to stick his tongue out and politely flip you off. Ace let out a small shriek as you launched off the bed after him, running out of the room into the hall and turning into a goosechase. You could practically hear the yakety sax song playing in your head as the two of you pushed past Jamil and Kalim, the former crying out at you in annoyance.

“Watch it!”

Ace practically threw himself down the stairs, jumping past four whole steps, using the banister to whip him around into the main hallway where he ran into the living room. Finally catching up to him, Ace positioned the coffee table between you two as he continued egging you on.

“Ayeeeeeee, embarrassed Prefect? Gonna throw a fit?” Ace let out a low cackle as you both shifted around the table.

“Gonna throw your ass into the fucking sun, little bitch ass! You got something to say then fucking say it!”

Ace snorted as he pointed behind you. “You’re one to talk, you wanna talk about the marigolds coming from behind you? It’s like you’re growing a garden out of your ass, wanna talk about that?”

“The fuck? I haven't been growing marigolds out of my ass. The hell you’re talking about,” You turned your head to look behind you, still growling at him now with confusion. “Why would you even ask that—WHAT THE FUCK!?”

You hissed as you jumped backwards into the table, the edges jamming into your skin. Behind you had been a long trail of beautiful, shimmering orange flowers. Upon closer inspection, you were pretty sure they were marigolds.

“...Ace, this is your fault.”

“What! Nuh-uh, I’m not the only with flower sickness—”

“The fuck is flower sickness?”

“You know, hanahaki? The love disease? How do you not know what flower sickness is, it’s like basic 8th grade bio—”

“I didn’t go to school here, dumbass!”

Ace’s mouth formed an ‘oh’ shape as he remembered. “Oooooh yeah, I forgot.”

“Forgot what? You little potatoes are acting awfully rowdy so early in the morning.”

You looked up to see Vil standing in the hallway, a bemused Rook behind him inspecting the flowers on the ground. Vil briefly made eye contact with you, both of your sharing a small smile before an irritating, itchy feeling made its way in your throat.

You felt a hand pack your back as you started roughly coughing up several bunches of marigolds into your hands as Ace grimaced.

“I forgot that they’re not from here, so they got no clue about hanahaki…or any other illness…huh it’s kinda a miracle they haven’t gotten sick from something else yet.” Ace hummed, as he leaned down to look at your face.

You made eye contact with your peripheral vision, motioning Ace to lean closer into you and horasely whispered, “Come… closer…”

Confused, Ace obliged, ear up to your lips, giving you the perfect opportunity to sock him straight in the gut. Your dear, beloved friend gagged from the pressure, hands cradling his stomach as he fell to his knees, groaning in pain.

“Y/N…” Vil sighed in exasperation, walking over to give you a gentle flick in your forehead as he chastised you.

“It’s unbecoming of a friend of mine to be so belligerent, do you really have to be so crass with all your friends?”

You clicked your tongue, licking the spit from your lips. “I’m not with you, besides Ace deserves it, you know how he is.”

“Mm-hmm, and how long have you been coughing out the flowers, meine Süße?”

A pleasant warmth flooded your cheeks at the nickname. You choose to ignore the tickling sensation of marigolds growing from the tops of your head, which instead formed into sneezing fits.

“I've heard of wearing your heart on your sleeve, but wearing petals in your hair is a whole new level of fashion statement.” He remarked, leaning down to observe the blooms. “Now, answer my question, meine Süße.”

“Achooo! Ugh,” You sniffled as you replied, “Um, not that long—achoo!—ago, ugh. Just today—”

“Ah! The little trickster started expelling the belles fleurs approximately a month and a half ago!” Rook chirped, a little too happily for your tastes. “Two weeks after we began training for the SDC.”

Vil let out another sigh as you whipped your head to glare at Rook, hissing out, “What. The. Fuck.”

“Excuse me?! Language Y/N!” Vil barked at you, making you flinch and burst into another coughing fit. Noticing this, he softened his voice, though the blonde still sounded angry.

“That’s nearly two months with the flower sickness, have you been taking potions to help with the symptoms?”

You shook your head, clearing your throat. “Ahem, no, uh. I didn’t know that there was medicine for this kinda thing, haaaaa I just figured I was being pranked by someone.”

You heard a snort behind you as Ace stood back up, grumbling, “Of course you would, dumbass.”

“I will actually kill you—”

“You will actually not.” Vil placed a gentle hand on your upper back, guiding you to the front door. “Rook, ensure everyone packs up and cleans their mess by the time we get back, I believe Kalim may still need help packing up.”

“Oui! How kind of you Vil to escort our lovely Trickster to get them a remedy for their affliction!”

Rolling your eyes, you let Vil guide you out of the dorm, calling out to Ace, “Don’t forget to grab the rest of your stuff, it’s still in my room!”

“Okayyy!”

With that, the door shut behind you two as you began a pleasant walk over to what you assumed would be Sam’s shop. A pregnant silence fell over you two as you walked down the pathway leading to main street, having to maneuver past the alchemy building and botanical gardens. You were hyper conscious about his hand that remained on your back, which is when you started another coughing fit.

“Oh you poor dear, did you really have no clue what was going on all this time?” Vil spoke to you in that soft tone that he’d been reserving for you since you first became friends, a few months ago. You’d gone into the Film Research Club interested in working as a stagehand, plus you had a good working knowledge costume design and general clothes repair, which was sorely needed.

It’d been an incredibly rocky acquaintanceship at first, as Vil made subtle, snide remarks on your disheveled appearance, while you shot back with loud, brass comments on his ‘Regina George wannabe’ act. Now, he didn’t know who Regina George was back then, but took offense that a ‘dirty, lumpy potato would have the audacity to insult him’.

He only kept you on in the club because no one ever willingly signed up for backstage work, and you only requested free access to spare cloth and sewing materials to fix your clothes. Vil was also more than happy to point out how scruffy the patches all over your uniforms made you look:

“You certainly fix the part of the ramshackle Prefect, now don’t you?”

Though, looking back on it now, you’re pretty sure he wasn’t aware that everything of yours was either found in Ramshackle’s attic or bought with the meager allowance Crowley gave you. Shortly before finals, Vil found you crying in an isolated part of backstage because another first-year permanently bleached your only jacket during a botched potions class.

“What’s going on back here, practice your scenes upfront with the rest of us, I don’t care how ugly you look crying—Prefect?”

You jumped, scrambling to get back up from the dusty corner you’d shoved yourself into. You awkwardly wiped the tears from your face, wrapping your arms around yourself as you gave Vil a feeble glare.

“What do you want Vil, I already told the others that their costumes wouldn’t be ready yet, if you want me to get stuff done, you gotta stop annoying me—”

“You’ve been crying.” His simple statement shut you up, as he approached you with a firm look on his face.

“…Yeah, stating the obvious much?” you muttered back, finding the scuff marks on the ground very interesting. Vil let out a sigh, reaching into his jacket to take out an off-white, embroidered handkerchief.

“I’m trying to be sympathetic. Ugh, you’re all red and puffy, let me see.” Vil tipped your chin up with his fingertips, gently patting at the tear streaks on your cheeks. “You look worse than normal…is the red bleach stain on your uniform meant to be a fashion statement?”

Pausing at the stuttering breath you took, sniffling, you answered, “No, some dumba—”

“Language”

“—Some jerk,” you drawled, “from my last class messed up his potion, and it got all over me. Stained my only jacket, right when it starts snowing, too.”

Vil raised a brow at you, leaning back once he was satisfied with your dried cheek.

“Only one? Even Ruggie has a few spare uniform jackets from Leona, did you seriously not think ahead to purchase a spare?”

You half-laughed, half-scoffed at his statement.

“You think Crowley gives me enough money to buy another jacket for his bougie ass—I mean, fancy, school? I barely have enough to feed myself and Grim between the roof caving in and the water pipes breaking. The bathroom flooded again last week.”

You sighed, rubbing your temples as you felt a migraine coming in, unaware of Vil’s growing horror.

“I was lucky enough to find my uniform in the attic, it waaay too big and makes me look homeless, but at least it keeps me warm…now it just looks even more like shit.”

You finally looked up at the blonde, expecting him to lecture you on your foul language. Instead, you were surprised to see Vil’s horrified expression.

“What do you mean, you barely have enough for food?”

It was then that you discovered that no one outside your group of friends were really aware that you were stuck on campus, victim to Crowley’s whims and needs. You know the others in Heartslabyul were faintly aware of your predicament, being from another world and stuck until Crowley found you a way home. Ace and Deuce did their best to help repair things around the dorm, but could only do so much. Savanaclaw and Octavinelle knew of the disarray of your dorm, but based on comments from Leona and Floyd, weren’t aware of just how much you were struggling just to eat and sleep.

Ruggie definitely was, seeing as he occasionally slipped you a spare meat bun or snack that he happened to buy extra of when running errands for Leona. Ruggie was a real one, as long as you didn’t point it out.

Since that day, Vil had sort of taken you under his wing, along with Epel who you hadn’t met yet at the time. You had to give him credit, he wasn’t the villain you’d made him out to be in your head. And Vil admitted, he enjoyed that you were quick on your feet and enjoyed your banter, as long as it was unique to him.

He spared you his previous uniforms that he’d grown out of his freshman and sophomore year, minus the band and vest, watching as you mended the waist and ends to fix your stature. More often than not, especially after hearing that you’d be stuck by yourself during winter break, Vil was sending you care packages with personal hygiene products from brand deals he never took. He’d send fabrics and sewing supplies with sewing patterns. Vil even started buying you breakfast and lunch once back to school, though you refrained from joining him for dinner in Pomefiore.

In exchange, you managed to replicate, with his help, some of the scripts for the more famous musicals from your world. You even told him who Regina George was! He still wasn't fond of the comparison, but did find the musical intriguing. Vil was fascinated by the works of art your world produced, and just slightly enamored in the way you described them with glee and fondness. Still, the exchanges still felt a bit uneven.

You’d once made the joke that he was practically a sugar daddy, just without the sugar. He snapped back, “Well, I’m not stopping you, now am I? I’ve never had a sweet tooth, but you’re more than welcome to give me thanks, meine Süße.”

(You spent that night screaming into your pillow with a red-hot blush while Grim looked on with concern.)

Truly, you two had developed an unlikely friendship, one where you both spoke your minds to the other with no hesitation or fear. Which is why the lack of conversation at the moment was slowly driving you insane.

You sneaked a peek at Vil, taking a sharp breath as your eyes met his own. It seemed that he was watching you with his very lovely, sharp purple eyes. The thought sent a hot flash through you as you sneezed a flurry of petals and pollen.

“Ooof, ugh, this is gonna make my allergies go haywire.”

“Sam will have some potions that will help with the symptoms, though you will have to confront the root of the cause.” Vil slid his hand down to rest in your mid-back, rubbing his thumb against you in a soothing motion, though it cause you to shiver and flush.

“Yeah, okay.” you managed to squeak out, groaning as you felt the tickle of glowing marigolds pop up on your skin and in your hair. “Ummmm, so how do you get rid of, uh, Ace called it hanahaki?”

Vil nodded and opened his mouth to speak before being interrupted by the faint screaming of your name. Both of you looked down the path, where you saw Deuce running over to you two, followed by a confused Epel chasing after him.

“PREFECT! PREFECTPREFECTPREFECTPREFECT—”

Yelping as Deuce skidded to a half and grabbed you by your arms, shaking you with intense concern, you managed to reply a stuttered, “W-w-what?”

Deuce paused his shaking to give you a concerned lecture, “You didn’t tell us you had the flower sickness!? Why didn’t you say something, you’ve been running around for SDC all this time—”

“You too—”

“But I’m not sick!” Deuce dug through the paperbag you’d just notice he was holding and shoved a pale pink potion in your hands. “Here! Take this!”

Before you could even touch the bottle, Vil plucked it from a confused Deuce’s hands, studying it with scrutiny.

“Hmm…This is an average allergy relief potion for hay fever, did you actually ask Sam for a hanahaki symptom relief potion, or did you just grab the first thing you saw off the shelf?”

Deuce visibly deflated, opening his mouth to sheepishly reply before Epel interrupted him with a harsh, “I told him to ask, but he got all riled up and started yammerin’—I mean, uh, talking about getting the Prefect help immediately.”

Vil sighed, handing Deuce the potion back and shooed the two away with a wave of his hand.

“Just go back, I’ll handle it, just make sure your messes are all cleaned up before we get back.”

The two replied, “Yes sir!” and continued on their path, waving goodbye to you. Though you could hear Epel mumble to Deuce, “Those are marigolds, right? I think Vil’s favorite flowers are those, you don’t think…”

You slowed down to ponder Epel’s words, remembering what Ace initially called the illness.

“Vil…Ace called it a love sickness…would these flowers related toooo, I don’t know, a hypothetical crush somehow?”

Vil briefly opened his mouth, closing it as he hesitated to speak. You think you could make out a soft blush on his cheeks.

“Yes. Your hypothetical crush must favor marigolds. Can’t say I blame him, I’m fond of them myself…”

The two of you made eye contact, a knowing look in his eye and tone making your heart skip a beat and you look down in embarrassment.

“Oh…I see…” You coughed awkwardly, a few petals flying from your mouth. “So you said there was a way to get to the root cause?”

Vil hummed, stopping at the entrance of Sam’s shop to turn to you with an unreadable expression.

“Yes, as an illness based on love, appropriately the cure is to confess your feelings to the one you’ve found yourself fancying.”

A cold flash went through your body as your stomach dropped. Again. “Oh.” The thought of confessing to Vil made you sick, like you could puke at a drop of a coin at any moment.

“I wish you’d mentioned something sooner, I could’ve helped you…ease into it.” Vil murmured, his hand moving to cradle your cheek. He squished your cheek with a fond look in his eye.

“I know it’s a daunting task…I won’t rush you into it.” Vil moved his hand to brush your hair away, leaning down to place a soft kiss on your forehead. “When you’re ready to say something, just let me know.”

Leaning back, VIl covered his mouth to hide his amused smirk. Your face was a blazing red as the marigolds grew a trail down your neck and chest. He motioned for you to follow him into the shop, holding the door open as he held a hand out to you. At the moment, you’re having a hard time imagining why he’d only ever been typecast in villain roles, he looked more like an enchanting love interest catered for you specifically.

“For now, I’ll be by your side. I will wait for you, meine Süße.”

Bleach Headcanons: Skincare

Who’s the skincare expert and who uses just soap and water?

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.

𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐎𝐍 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐖𝐇𝐘 𝐈 𝐌𝐀𝐃𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐓: I previously spoke on leo and where you are a bit picky in a healthy way, now it’s virgo’s turn, but with a twist, since virgo naturally rules the 6th house wanting the best may take a toxic turn.. now desiring to better something won’t be in the sake of our pleasure or things that’ll make us and our inner child happy (since leo rules our 5th house and these descriptions are attached to it)

Unfortunately now wherever virgo falls in your chart will make you have a very tiring desire to fix it’s matters.. perfect them, until it affects you and your mental health in a draining way, and you’ll start feeling anxious so much about it, (virgo rules 6th house and mercury)

Hope the connection makes sense!, don’t forget that sometimes signs that follow each other in astro are a bit attached and may or may not be a different side of the same coin.. take libra and Scorpio for example, you’ll always find some links that associates these signs together!.

Here you are quite critical of yourself in general, especially and obviously on your appearance your outlook on the world and how first impression are supposed to be, that’s why you may hate beginnings, job interviews or new things, because you care so much about appearances even if you hate to admit it, that’s why you try to perfect the way you dress, the way you look and act to no end, you just can’t seem to be satisfied with who you are, if you’re too loud you’ll bully yourself until you barely speak two decent words and so on.

You’re the type to change your hairstyles alot, always looking for that perfect one that matches your face type and those asian beauty ABBAA tests, and you really try to perfect yourself as much as you can.

You may or may not be highly critical in regards of how you spend your money, and also in regards of how much your income is, meaning you are 24/7 working on ways to get more money, ways to fix your finances and possessions, you always try to perfect these aspects, that’s why you may be indulged in so many side hustles and jobs!. You also may be critical of how much you eat, counting calories, singing if it’s one of your hobbies, luxury items you buy or even your beauty products, you may be the type to go too deep in searching for a face serum that solves a simple problem like black heads for example until you just fall into a deep pit of weird chemical acids like Ascorbic, BHA, salicylic etc.

Critical in terms of how you communicate, you may be a bit shy, so you try to open up more!, you may be a member of ‘TMI’ club so you try to just shut up, depends, also you always stress on your thoughts, ideas or just how you think in general, you really watch the way you think closely until you fry your brain out, you also may be a part or LOA tumblr!, give yourself a break dude, you are intelligent enough, no need to read 117261 books a year.. it won’t really make your smarter or more cunning.. oh yeah and kinda cliché but you may try to be the perfect neighborhood, these people give me ‘the girl next door’ vibes.

Ummmm.. so it’s either you are the eldest child who grew up with so much responsibilities, or you have a mother that treated you like her favorite play toy and you were like a marionette in her hands.. you know those overachiever kids that once they finish school go to violin lessons and then go back home to study until they sleep, also have thousands of shiny medals around their room and little to no toy or teddy around? Yeah that’s you sir. Don’t try to be perfect for your parents, your achievements don’t determine your worth, nor does your status, nor does your roots, nor does your home in general!, please be kinder on yourself and enjoy life dear, also for my future mothers/fathers, be kinder on your kids.

1st scenario: be kind on your children for starters, now on a serious note try killing the Tonya Harding's inside of you before she kills you… why so serious about your hobbies that’s kinda concerning.. do you need help? Should i book for therapy?. you may be quite critical to your arts and hobbies, always try to master them until you drop dead on the ground with ink and paint on your fingers instead of blood.. sit tf down for a bit, take a deep breath and calm your shit down because no your rival won’t achieve a higher status than you in that art/theater competition, and you’re doing great, i know you may have siblings that made it hard for you to shine so you took the matters in your own hands but.. at what sake?, trust me it ain’t that worth it!.

2nd scenario: my brother in christ 5th house virgo no you won’t date an a-list celebrity if you dig around luxury places hard enough, try lowering your standards a bit because they may go beyond the sun and back (not even the moon if you noticed my not-so-hidden sarcasm) you’re making it hard on yourself and us (me specifically because you guys are so hot and i need 1 chance ffs)

You’d really make a good doctor if you ever decided to be one because you’re almost too perfect for the job.. honest, faithful, and you have an amazing eye for details, almost hawk-like which makes you kinda manic (or critic) about your weight, eating habits, daily routines, health in general, and once you catch a mole on your neck you jump to ask google which may tell you that’s it’s a possible stage 4 cancer sign and yikes.. anxiety hits the fan.

no in case you are wondering, you won’t die in 3 weeks, so stop trying to have perfect health because i can assure you that it isn’t possible honey.. also your poor pets oh my god!, checking on them every month is a must.. but don’t make them visit a doctor every time they sneeze too!.

In conclusion you are a gym rat, quite critical of your workout habits and the gyms you go to, your diet, hygiene, of others and yours too.

Go above read virgo in 5th house second scenario!, it will describe you just perfect, but switch it and make it about your long term hubby. Just don’t be way too critical about your marriage, because you’ll be absolutely drained if you aimed to have a perfect lovey dovey life, that’s only in fairytales, that amazingness is only in romance novels, because marriage is way more than sweet endings, it’s about responsibilities, and I’m sure you’ll handle it well just don’t pressure yourself!.

Now, please cut your coworkers some slack, i know that they just can’t seem to do any decent work from your point of view, but put in mind that the work standards you have might 100% exceed what they are aspiring to do, so try not to be critical about your own work and others.

How to look your best everyday

“Always leave your home looking your best, you never know when you have a date with destiny”

I don’t need to say that inner beauty is important, and I’m not here to tell anyone to neglect one in favor of the other but taking care of your looks will not only make you feel better about yourself but is also an act of love and respect towards the people you know. No woman should be ashamed of their femininity and taking the time and effort to make themselves beautiful. Besides, you never know when you’ll find the man of your dreams so why limit your options by presenting less than your best self. Remember failing to plan is planning to fail

A lot of women are bad with time management and preparing ahead and that causes them to leave the house subpar so here are some tips on how you can save yourself some time in the morning and looking put together more effortlessly without needing to spend hours on it.

Beauty starts the night before. Ladies, effort on your night routine, on your skin and hair care before you sleep are necessary. At night, besides your face cleanser, either use some retinol serum to stimulate cell renewal or some salicylic acid treatment that will take care of your pores thus less acne and give you a better skin texture. Also it’s important to note that sleeping with makeup should be avoided at all costs. To your hair the night is perfect to add some oil to the ends, or curl it and pin it allowing the curls to set or if you wanna avoid the heat, the night time is perfect to set your heatless curls.

Pick your outfits the night before and if necessary iron and use a lint roller on them ahead as well.This is going to be such a game changer, you’ll look more intentional instead of rushing in the morning and just dressing what is clean, seeing if the pieces go together, the shoes and the purse and all of those things that come with getting ready in the morning. A good idea is to have some staple outfits that you feel good in and are easy reaches. If you wanna take it a step ahead you can even choose 5 outfits to wear on the weekend.

Accessories. I love rings, necklaces and when you are rushing in the morning it can be easy to forget those. So consider those accessories that make your outfit look more intentional and put together. So pick your jewelry, handbag and shoes along with your outfit the night before and pack your handbag with the necessary items like a mini lint roller, safety pins, hand sanitizer a mini tooth brush and tooth paste,and a little makeup touch up kit, t and perfume miniature and a hairbrush the night before.

Being healthy. An 80/20 diet, exercise adequate hydration and a good night of sleep will only change your looks for the better

Take care of your clothes. Send whatever needs to be adjusted to a seamstress, use lint rollers - cat and dog hair will only cheapen your looks- and please no clothes with holes or permanent stains

do you have any tips on hormonal pimples? or like teen pimples (idk what they r called) because i have so much of them but none of these toners and serums are helping.

Make sure to wash your face twice daily with a gentle cleanser. Avoid scrubbing your skin too hard, this can make acne worse.

Look for products that are labeled as "non-comedogenic," which means they won't clog your pores. This is especially important for makeup and moisturizers.

Products containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid may be helpful in treating acne. Start with a lower strength and gradually increase if needed.

Prescription strength retinoids can be very effective in treating acne, but they can be irritating to the skin. Talk to your doctor and start with a lower strength and use as directed.

Here are some product recommendations:

Cleansers:

CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash

Moisturizers:

Cetaphil Oil Control Moisturizer SPF 30

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat Mattifying Moisturizer

Salicylic Acid Products:

The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution

Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment

Benzoyl Peroxide Products:

Neutrogena Rapid Clear Stubborn Acne Spot Gel

Acne.org 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide Treatment

Non-Comedogenic Sunscreen:

Neutrogena Clear Face Liquid Lotion Sunscreen SPF 30

EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46

Spot Treatments:

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion

Kate Somerville EradiKate Acne Treatment

The food you eat is super important for how your body's hormones work. Hormones are messengers that your body makes to control your growth, metabolism etc. They travel through your blood and tell different parts of your body what to do. Eating a good mix of healthy foods helps keep these hormones in check. Things like protein, good fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals help make and control hormones. For example protein is needed for hormones like insulin and growth hormone, while healthy fats help with hormones like estrogen and testosterone.

Also, when you're stressed a lot, your body makes more of a hormone called cortisol, which can mess up other hormones. Moving your body through exercise can help with hormones by reducing stress and making you feel happy. Also, sleep is really important. Not getting enough sleep can mess up hormones that control hunger and fullness.

So, eating healthy foods, managing stress, staying active, and getting enough sleep are all really important. They help keep your hormones in balance and make sure your body works well.

Most importantly, don't let acne affect your self-esteem. You are beautiful just the way you are! Pimples are very normal and they do not take away from how amazing you are <3
