Not exactly makeup related but does anyone have a recommendation to prevent scarring?

I fell last week and got a pretty bad gash on my forehead. The person who stitched me up did a good job and it's healing well but I really want to do everything I can to prevent or reduce scarring. So far I have heard Vitamin E and Cocoa Butter but I thought this board might have some ideas.

I always recommend Biafine from French pharmacie. You can definitely get it on amazon, eBay and some other sites. It works really well on cuts and burns. I hope you heal well.

Any advice on getting foundation out of clothes? I’ve had bad luck before. Igor most of it out, but it wasn’t fully gone. It’s a 100% cotton shirt and the first day I’m wearing it 😢

Dish soap! It dissolves oil really well.

Did you try a makeup remover? I would think a Micellar water would work pretty good since it’s supposed to attract makeup.

i hadn't bought a single thing from sephora or ulta all of 2019, until yesterday. don't worry - i've done plenty of damage at LUSH and picked up random things like body scrubs or face masks from trader joe's or whole foods or where ever. i saw on the side of one of ulta's promo pics my favorite kate sommerville ($$$) moisturizer. it was 50% off, so i added two to my cart. i managed to not add anything else either, so i call that a win. i just started a new one a few weeks ago, and was going to pick up a new one when the sephora sale finally rolls around to have as back up, but 50% off is obviously better than a 20% savings, so woohoo!!! and, unlike when sephora had it 50% off as a weekly wow last fall, there was actually plenty of stock available online. thumbs up ulta, thumbs up.

I semi failed my 2019 no-buy. I allowed myself to buy a few things (skincare and Smashbox Cali Contour palette since I have a good dent in 3 of the colors in my current palette) from the Ulta 21 days sale. It's stuff I'm going to use and don't have a back-up, so I'm not calling it a total fail since I planned the purchases and stuck to things I will for sure use in 2019.

I may also allow myself to purchase some Drunk Elephant products during the Sephora sale since my BF is now using my Protini on a regular basis.

After 10 years, my Clairisonic broke. It has had issues for a while but it has suddenly stopped holing a charge

Do I rebuy? I really do like it... is Nordstrom anny sale the best time to replace? Or should I seek out another gadget for my face?

So I have one of these.... it’s a mini; it came in a Sephora box and I’ve been using it this week. I’m not convinced it does a better job compared to my clairisonic. I wonder if it’s because it’s just smaller? Can you tell me why you like the foreo?

Clarisonic seems more abrasive. Also I think the silicone keeps the actual device cleaner and free from germs etc. it’s also much smaller and stands straight up

Those are great points; you're right. Thanks!

I am tired of my skin looking like I'm still in HS, only with fine lines on top of the acne. It's so hormonal (always has been) and nearly everything I try dries my skin out uncomfortably; Differin doesn't seem to do much of anything in terms of improvement. I started using a glycolic peel this week (from Bliss) and we'll see if that makes a difference. It already seems to be making my skin smoother to the touch, but everything looks about the same. Still, I'm pleased that at least at this point, I'm not seeing a huge amount of irritation or dryness and I'll give it a few weeks to see if things improve.

I was having hormonal breakouts that I couldn't get to go away.  I started using Curology and my skin cleared up and I continue to have clear skin as long as I'm using it.  I highly recommend it.

litebright, I take spearmint every night to help control my hormonal acne. It really woks and when I stop taking it for whatever reason, the acne comes back.

I just saw on the trend mood IG that DE is about to come out with a balm cleanser. They are really trying to make me just hand over my paycheck, aren’t they?

Also are coming out with an exfoliant, but I’m
not as interested in that.

Ulta’s 21 days isn’t getting me excited. I think there’s a day with Mac eyeshadow singles next week that I might check out.
