I use 3 olaplex products. 2 to deep condition my hair when I am bleaching it and the oil I linked on the days after I wash my hair (I wash 2x a week). I have bleached hair just past my shoulders and use around 5 or 6 drops each time. I have friends who only need 3 drops.
 
I did see some donkey milk products and would have gotten them too if they were from a farmer. I got a bunch of different goat milk items off of etsy in the United States, non corporate etc.

I am infatuated with the almond scented goat milk body butter and extremely happy with the unscented goat milk face cream. I like the body wash and got a natural deodorant from one of the sellers (not with goat milk) that I am also very happy with because it doesn't have baking soda as the active ingredient.

I have decided that all natural hand made nicely balances my better living through chemicals side.
what are some of the sellers you use? I'm always in need of a good body cream cus my skin gets so freaking dry after a shower.
 
Skeleton lady provides, but finally. I have heard this before just mentioned by her. But there was so much about how retinoids were sun sensitizing in my reddit days
 
Any suggestions for what works with oily skin? Looking for something that gets rid of blackheads.
Salicylic acid as previously said works quite well, sometimes marketed as "BHA" for "beta hydroxy acid" which is a class that includes salicylic acid. Get a cheap cleanser or face wash that includes it, but let it sit for a while before you wash it off before bed. Then moisturize reasonably.
 
I'm quite partial to a few of Lush's products. They're so far the only ones that don't irritate my skin and I love their Dirty tooth tabs and Creme de Menthe mouthwash tabs.
 
I'm a fucking lazy retard so I usually just splash my face with water and apply moisturizer with sunscreen

Few times a week I use:
- DHC pore cleansing oil
- Rohto Gokujyun Hadalabo Hyaluronic Cleanser
- COSRX whitehead power liquid 5% glycolic acid
- Rohto Gokujyun Hadalabo hyaluronic premium toner
- Cerave AM moisturizer with sunscreen OR Cerave PM moisturizer

I use this face cleansing brush from Dollar Tree for physical exfoliation and a silicone scrubbie if skin feels sensitive or too dry.

I want to switch to a japanese/korean sunscreen brand because american sunscreens are too greasy or sticky.

Etude House's Mild Airy Surprise is my holy grail. Let your moisturizer set in then shake up the sunscreen and apply. might leave a slight white cast if you really pile it on, but it does not make you greasy at all and leaves your skin nice and smooth. nothing else compares.
 
There are a few of their bath bombs that I swear give me a better nights sleep. But I only ever buy them around boxing day because otherwise it is not worth the price of admission.
Which ones? I've tried the Black Rose bomb and that was really relaxing.
 
Recently got an IV therapy infusion ($160) of electrolytes, vitamins, an amino acids. Also got CO2 fractal laser surgery ($330) on my facial acne scars, it hurt about a notch more than a tattoo, without numbing cream. Currently recovering pretty well and I'll get two more treatments of laser for areas I skipped and problem areas. Taking a massive amount of protein and collagen to maximize results. Already noticing an immediate change in my body and especially face, and the laser effects boost collagen for 12-18 months to fix scars and prevent aging. Himbo City, here I come!
 
I've been eating a scoop of beef collagen peptides with my orange juice every morning (it says don't eat it with dairy). It's reasonably priced. Results are that my skin heals much faster and doesn't crack as often, and my face looks younger and healthier somehow (disclaimer: I'm a guy). I'm hoping it accelerates healing of joint and organ tissue, but that will probably take a few months or years.
