IST is always wrong
The beauty of IST is that you can find some really awesome advice. The problem with IST is that the good advice is usually hidden among mountains of misinformation.
Yeah like a big turd with golden nuggets hidden inside it. Only those willing to sift through the shit get to the gold.
>misinformation
You can tell this homosexual is dying to use basedjack meme any chance he possibly can.

It's a constant dynamic and ongoing IQ test. I think it somehow requires you to have a level of "intuition intelligence". The ability to trust your gut on things, and have your gut be right most of the time.
Is tretinoin the name of the Asian kid she pays to edit her photos?
>tries not to smile too hard so the wrinkles around her mouth dont show as much
why do a lot of these skin care influencer types have this excessively shiny/wet-looking face all the time?
exfoliating brightens skin
Baby oil.
No they have a humectant on and moisturizer
Do they look less weird in real life or do they still look like they've been bathing in slime their whole life?
because their shit only looks good when its slimy
Like a car when it’s wet during a wash? It’s all coming together now
yes, yes, tret is magic and isotret is typically the silver bullet if your cycstic acne is chronic.
if i were you i’d get off asap if you can just sustain the cleared skin while sacrificing the ‘dewy’ look. sunscreen and moisturizer twice a day is woman tier and if you don’t do the deed your face will burn.
sunscreen and moisturizer will give you good collagen and protection but not the collagen that tret gives. you also won’t get the wet shiny look but guess what my skin care routine is 1 minute and doesn’t burn my face
go to lookism forums for uncensored and mentally ill levels of research and explanation when it comes to skin care, fashion, skull shape, teeth, all things cosmetic. they are fricked in the head and will make you feel like shit but they have calculated beauty
They really do know everything but it can be an extremely demoralising experience. Definitely hoping on tret at 24, I can probably look young forever.
>I can probably look young forever
lots of skincare channels on youtube by older women that look their age
tret is not the magic bullet meme zoomies seem to think it is
Argireline to prevent wrinkles, tret for the collagen production/removing wrinkles + Astaxanthin for DHT and balancing out hormones/preventing hair loss, working out to keep the body healthy.
Isn't tret really hard on your face in the long term if you dont stick to a strict moisturizer routine? I read somewhere else that you shouldn't rely too much on it for a extended periord of time as it can give you this weird alwys shiny complexion in your face.
it’s recommended to go above .05% once you do it daily - after a couple of years you will need to moisturize twice a day but your skin will tell you: sunscreen is crucial.
*NOT GO ABOVE
It's wearing makeup, moron. Contour and foundation are no longer considered wearing makeup.
>drink lots of water
is this the biggest moron-confirming "science" out there? I can't think of anything worse
I’m not sure what you are getting at
That just means stay hydrated, doc.
anyone have skincare recs for super sensitive skin? i can’t use most off the shelf pharmacy shit cause of it. i tried an alcohol based cleanser once and it looked like i got chemical burns. i don’t even shave with a razor
Stop talking about tret you butthole Im literally the only one around me with a god tier facial complexion
I found the actual secret btw, saunas. Couple times a week.
>bro-science was wrong
Who would have guessed?
How the frick do I get rid of dandruff the israelite shampoos don't do shit
I'm using a prescribed shampoo with ketoconazole that works wondres, but the day I don't use it... oh boy, it comes back tenfold
What % do you use?
Tret in the form of cream or do you drink the shit
I don’t wash my face / how to get clear skin, a rant.

Did you guys know the skincare industry is one of the biggest in the world? Ever try Epiduo, Proactiv, or any of those brand name “acne healing kits” and find your skin even more dry or just not correcting whatsoever? It’s because it’s bullshit. These products are filled with lab - produced chemicals that your skin, the largest organ you have, directly absorbs. I had acne my entire life, ENTIRE.. until I started deep diving my own health and figuring out what works / doesn’t for my body.
-
Here’s a TLDR on what I’ve implemented that cleared my skin rapidly.
- Eliminating “inflammatory” foods, everyone’s body is different but the BIGGEST culprits that a majority if not all people should remove are; seed oils, processed foods, dairy, & artificial sweeteners. Elimination based diets are a great place to start (AIP, Carnivore, are the two I used)
- Intermittently Fast / Take breaks from food
- Healing the gut, as soon as I did this my skin cleared instantly (collagen, bone broth, BEEF LIVER)
- QUALITY sleep (7 hours of true deep sleep minimum, consistently)
- A LOT of water, a gallon a day preferred.
- DAILY sweat sessions (either sauna or gym.. SWEAT)
- Cold Immersion to help quell additional inflammation (showers or tubs)
- Limit caffeine
- MANAGE stress
- Optimize Vitamin D / Hormone levels (blood work) daily Sunlight / vitamin D
-
And yes, I understand some people have chronic cystic acne and harsh medications are sometimes recommended to destroy / speed up the process of getting rid of acne.. if that’s you than by all means do what you must, however I’ve seen many anecdotal evidence / stories on complete remission of cystic acne through lifestyle & dietary changes as well.

wow a literal 2/10 woman remained a 2/10 she looks like a hapa troony
Imagine the thick black hair she has on her forearms
Cope, incel. she looks great for her age
>Jack Black cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen
>tretinoin .025% if you’re a noob, bump that up to .05% after a couple of months and mantain
>drink water a lot
usually in the morning i just wash my face with water and then moisturize & use sunscreen. at night i use the cleanser and apply tretinoin. it’s that easy bros.
IST is actually moronic. It is probably the least informed place outside of a youtube comments section for some parasocial egoyoutuber like Natural Hypertrophy. I'm just stuck here because I don't roid so I can't go on those private bodybuilding forums
I'm not reading anything in this thread other than the OP. If you Black folk, as men, do more than clean your face with soap at least once a day you are actually a homosexual. You literally don't need to do anything beyond that for skin care assuming you actually drink a healthy amount of water and go outside regularly. I will not be returning.
tells me skincare is a meme
When have IST ever said this? If anything, I've heard more people say you need a skincare routine than anything.
