Beauty Tips For Body Care
I have been prescribed Spiro for PCOS symptoms including acne on my face and back. I was started on 50mg/day but I'm concerned this dosage may not be high enough. I'm hoping you guys can weigh in so I can get a sense of what dosage people are taking on average.Thank you!

[Misc] I know acne is a very common condition to have... But does anyone else every feel like there the only one with it when your out?
Beauty Tips For Body Care
Sometimes I walk through London and legit don't see anyone with bad skin even though I know so many suffer from it around the world. I don't usually let acne get me down or stop me from doing things, after all most people don't care enough to notice it... It's just feeling like I can't see my own skin on others some days which is the disheartening thing sometimes. Anyone else feel this?

[Anti-Aging] What's the best way to make the nasolabial fold less deep?
Beauty Tips For Body Care
I'm 30F and have had a consistent skincare routine for the last 5 years. I used to enjoy skincare and went through lots of different products, but now have a pretty simple routine:AM:- Splash of water- Moisturizer with SPF (I currently use Clinique Pep-Start Hydrorush, but might change it to something else)PM:- Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser- Clinique Moisture Surge 72-Hour Hydrator or NeoStrata Bionic Face Cream PHA12 (my face hates AHA's and I have not been able to get ahold of retinoids that made any visible difference)I also use sheet masks a few times a week. My skin is on the drier side and I used to smoke (1 pack a week), but quit a few years ago. Probably should drink more water - working on that currently. I live in a colder climate and not into tanning, rarely go outside in the daylight.I'm quite happy with the way my face looks and don't expect it to look like I'm 18, I just don't like the nasolabial fold on one side of my face, it got particularly prominent because of the way I smile (more to one side). See here: https://imgur.com/0HbBWbMI was wondering, what's the best way to fix this this particular defect? Botox, hialuron fillers, lasers? I just want to know what to research before I go to the derm.Would appreciate the advice! And sorry for any mistakes - not a native speaker.

[Skin Concerns] I'm so desperate of the right solution. Please send help.
Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi, so, this is gonna be my very first time posting on this sub. This is also my very first time opening up... and sharing my skin-story.This is my face. Please be kind, i'm still a teenager, and it is hard for me to share these but i'm doing this because i need help.I'm 17 years old today and I had these bumps on my face ever since i was 13 years old. I was not really paying attention to it before since it was no big problem for me... then, i started having pimples , they're not really cystic, it's not that deep, but it's bigger than bumps and does bleed, but i suspect that it was because of milk, and i was not wrong for it stopped after i quit dairy. I had no routine before, since i didn't had enough knowledge of it, all i use is soap, an antifungal soap containing zinc pyrithione and aloe vera. It also has fragrance. That helped me, so much, i guess. Since i was not oily when i was using and it controlled my acne, But it did not vanish these bumps completely. I still had them.Since i know nothing about skin care, i overused soap. ( i was around 14-15 years old this time) I remember, i wash 2x in every routine because i thought acne was all bacterial then, i was doing such habits for maybe 5 months? then i stopped it because my mom told me i was misusing it. I also stopped washing my face for a long while.Then, my acne came back since i started drinking milk again ( this time i was 16 ). I didn't actually quit it and my mother bought a soap for me which i used religiously thinking i will have clear skin. ( coz again, i have no knowledge about skin care) We thought it was working.. but actually, it wasn't really helping my skin at all. It was about 2-3 months when i decided to stop using it. I came back to that anti-fungal soap.By that time, aloe vera gel was a hype ( around 2017) so i decided to use it because there were so many people online claiming it cleared them up. It was also 1-2 months, i decided to stop it. And there were no really improvements on my skin.So i stopped washing and putting things on my face, i also quit dairy and my skin eventually cleared up, but the bumps were till there.It lasted for over a year, and my skin was doing good, but these small bumps are still there. I still use soap occasionally since I live in Philippines so there's that.I started looking at myself in the mirror frequently, wondering why i have these bumps and wondering when will i have clear skin again. I missed the feeling so much. There were certain moments in my life where i cried infront of the mirror because of these.Then, around October-November last year, i started having seborheicc dermatitis. But i didn't went to any derma, i just suspeted of myself of having it since the sides of my nose were burning, flaking and freaking itchy. I searched on it online and it looked the same and even have the same symptoms.I was so sad that time because my birthday was in 2 days, and i had literally no idea what the heck was happening with me.My mother told me to put vaseline on it, i was skeptical at first, but then, who knows what? So i decided to put it on my face and boy, it helped me! In just 2 days, my nose is doing good again. No flaking, no itching, no burning!I was so happy about it but... one thing i hated most is how greasy it looks and made me look. A month later, i stopped using it then it came back. So right now, i have no choice but to put it every single day!And honestly, i am not enjoying it. It made me oily af. I mean i already have an oily skin but it went away, then when i started using vaseline, i got oily! :'( This is just ughh because i always look greasy, it made me more self-conscious than before.I was so done of having these bumps, of crying about it so i searched. I did my research. I found Liah Yoo and Dr. Dray, i also found F.C ( simpleskincarescience) , and i'm very thankful because i learned so much about the skin from them.After, watching a couple of videos, I wanted to use nizoral right away. However i thought that i need to focus on the ph of my skin first and hydrating it, because maybe, if it got acidic, bacteria won't grow on my face.I still had no routine. JUST DISTILLED WATER AND VASELINE. Yeah, distilled water, because i am worrying that the ph of the water will disrupt my skin, and even today, i'm still washing my face with distilled water.I bought a cleanser that is fa safe but it broke me out ( etude house whip cleanser) . I also used benton's aloe propolis gel, but it broke me out on my forehead, so i stopped using it. Then, I started using sulfur soap then stopped ... Now i am using Nizoral 2% on my forehead for about 3 weeks but it's still there..Now, i don't know what to do. These anti-fungals are not working for me.I wanted to fix my skin barrier, but i'm worrying things will broke me out,because it happened when i bought mamonde's chammomile toner which has 6 ingredients but it broke me out. I started using aloe vera on my skin for 2 days but it made my bumps have pus on my cheeks. So i stopped it.I'm afraid of using moisturizers and toners because i'm scared it will broke me out, especially on my forehead. I'm thinking it might feed the yeast more..I'M SO DESPERATE!!right now, i'm back to distilled water and vaseline, and nizoral on forehead twice weekly.PLEASE HELP!!! I WANT THESE TO GO AWAY.. i'm so drained of constantly wondering... help me please. it's silently destroying me :(
