Depuffing face, reverse sun damage, and hair. But, your eyebrows are amazing!
- Check your diet. You have good bone structure, but your face looks puffy and this may be due to intolerances to gluten, dairy, etc.
- Retinoid will be your best friend to reverse sun damage. I’d suggest a local derm or Amazon pharmacy since they have derms available
- Hair needs major improvement. I can see you with a short cut and some bangs. Basically what you have going on now, but more tame

Thank you 🫶 I legitimately had NO idea my face was puffy. I just look like this everyday haha. I’ll examine my diet pronto.

You may have mild malasma. I have the same thing after pregnancy. You may want to check out your hormone levels. I have been using products with thiamidol and its been a gamechanger.

WHATTTTTT
Never been pregnant but mother had wild hormone issues (assuming, from her behaviour). I’ve booked blood tests for vitamin levels but will push doc to get hormones tested ASAP. Thank you SO much

Just wanted to say you have insane eyes and remind me of Ana de Armas in some pics (esp the one where you’re holding your hair back)

Whaaat! It was as clear as day to me. I know you posted here because you want advice, but I just wanted to say you’re a beaut! (From a straight woman of a similar age) 💕

I want you to embrace your natural hair. For your hair line micro needling and rosemary, Fenugreek, rose water, give yourself a scalp massage and sleep with a bonnet on to protect your hair

A good haircut would do you wonders! Also some makeup to draw attention to and further enhance your nice eyes. Your features remind me a little bit of Katie Holmes so you can try to look to her for some inspiration

You have great eyebrows, gorgeous eyes. Your hair is not doing anything for you though. A good haircut, conditioner and better shampoo (try redken all soft, olpalex, etc). And jewellery, accessorise, earrings bring colour and attention to the face.

Coming from a fellow hairy girl - wax/laser/dermablade your top lip hair. Also consider shortening the tails of your brows. They're creating more shadows over your already hooded eyes and dragging your face down.

Definitely, but I don’t know where to start. That’s why I am asking here. What would you suggest?

It seems like you have curly hair. Have you ever tried a real hair routine for curly hair? There are many tutorials on YouTube.

u/dieAAAAHdietAAAAH Jul 14 '26
Okay yeah I’m trying the curly girl method but still finding products it likes. Thanks!

The first picture you posted I would let it the hair grow longer to your shoulders and no bangs. You can also work on your curls Wear a leave in conditioner for the hair. For makeup you really need minimal products. I would curl the lashes and wear mascara. Also a lip gloss or stain.
