[Misc] Where does the fact that you need to wait 20 minutes after applying a chemical exfoliant before applying other products come from?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Is there a study that proves it, or did people see huge improvements in their skin after they started waiting, or what?

[Routine Help] Step-by-step simple skincare log to help you keep track of your routine effectiveness and troubleshoot skin problems

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hey guys.I've been around here and /r/AsianBeauty for probably something like two years now, and the problem that I see pop up most often in one form or another is people getting overwhelmed by information and products, trying to put a routine together but not really knowing if anything is working for them, and having problems identifying the causes of new skin problems. It's a totally understandable problem, especially when we're new to the whole skincare thing.One thing that has helped me immensely in being able to identify winners and losers and keep everything on track in my own (uh, lengthy and always changing) routine is keeping a skincare log. I thought it might be helpful to others to see how I put mine together and what I do with it, so I wrote this blog post here to explain. I hope some of you find it helpful! It's definitely something that does a lot for me, and it only takes a minute (if that) a day, and I don't even open it or write in it every single day.Disclosure: The blog post I linked contains no affiliate links and doesn't feature any sponsored products (also is not product-oriented anyway), but other posts on my blog do and are marked with appropriate tags and disclosures.

[Product Question] Nip+Fab glycolic fix extreme pads experience?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I like nip+fab's regular pads well enough and the extreme version looks enticing, with BHA + lactic acid as well as glycolic acid. I tried the search bar, but there was no first hand experience.Now that they've been out for a few months (where I am, at least?), I was wondering if anyone's tried them and how they like them.

[Personal] I just had a moment...

Beauty Tips For Body Care
...where I was able to pass along some skin care basics (lemon juice and baking soda on you face is terrible; moisturizer doesn't make you oily, not moisturizing makes you oily; big seeds in face scrubs tear up your pores dude; hey, there's this thing called r/skincareaddiction, check it out!) and it just showed me how much everyone on this sub has helped me kick some bad skincare habits. One year lurker and never looking back!

[Acne] Is this Cystic Acne or Something Else?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
These cysts have been along my jawline now for almost two years, I'm 19 and male. Just need some insight on what exactly is going on here. It seems unlikely to me that if this were cystic acne it would remain unchanged for so long.http://imgur.com/FDAIAg3 [1]The other side of my face is completely clear except for one small cyst that showed up the same time as these.These developed over the course of a week or so around two years ago and haven't changed in size, shape, or number at all.They occasionally feel itchy and slightly irritated, but have never hurt and are otherwise not noticeably felt. This is in contrast to the very painful cystic acne I usually develop on my cheeks in the winter.I've never tried breaking any of them, and none have ever drained on their own.My diet is pretty typical, and includes high amounts of dairy. I'm willing to significantly change what I'm eating, but don't really want to if this isn't cystic acne as I'd likely see no improvement.Was prescribed doxycycline specifically for the jawline stuff (can't remember how many mg's) for 3 months 2x. It's been a year since I finished the second session and saw no improvement whatsoever. Cancelled my followup appointment as up to that point I'd been prescribed nearly everything else and knew that accutane was my last option. Recently rescheduled for November anyway.Old routine (back when I had frequent breakouts): Differin in the morning, some kind of Neutrogena wash and 5% BP sort of whenever, and then doxycycline, differin, and tazorac at night.Current routine: BP occasionally.Thanks.*Btw seeing as winter is coming any moisturizer suggestions would be appreciated. Everyone always suggests to me CeraVe, or Cetaphil, one of which gives me severe breakouts and the other burned skin.
