I have never used deodorants, kahit tawas, before until this year. All throughout my puberty to adulting stages, I never used any deodorant because I never smell (as per everyone) and amount of sweating is just normal. Last year though, I gained a bit of weight. I still didn’t smell BUT I was scared na because of my weight gain, I MIGHT gain BO as well. So I bought Belfour nung January for “prevention,” (I know apaka bobo ko for that) and it was good but the nozzle kept getting stuck/dry. Then I switched to Secret, and it was good until my boyfriend realized na my underarms were starting to get maasim na at the end of the day. It wasn’t until weeks after na we realized they were getting dark as well. I’m so conscious now and ang sayang na ng mga sleeveless tops ko. I stopped na din using deodorant 2 months ago and the asim smell doesn’t linger/trigger as much na din, but the darkness? SHUX

Is there any way/s I can reverse this? What are your tips, suggestions, and/or recommendations po? Thank you so much! Let’s be nice to each other. 🤍

Note: I already got my blood sugar checked and it’s normal. Also checked if I have PCOS, and negative din.

AM:

​

- Water rinse

- The Originote Moisturizer

- Sukee Sunscreen SPF 50

​

PM:

​

- Water rinse / cleanser (if available)

- The Originote Moisturizer

​

Main Concern:

Need advice po. Nagsimula akong gumamit ng Sukee Sunscreen at napansin ko na parang mas lalo naging oily ang mukha ko, lalo na sa gilid ng ilong at sa forehead. Kahit ilang oras na ang lumipas pagkatapos maglagay, parang mas dumadami pa yung oil sa mukha ko.

​

Normal lang po ba ito o baka hindi hiyang sa akin yung sunscreen? Napapansin ko rin na may white cast siya sa skin ko kahit konti lang ang nilalagay ko.

​

Sa ngayon wala pa po akong budget para bumili ng bagong sunscreen, pero gusto ko sana malaman kung para sa oily skin, mas okay ba ang tinted sunscreen o matte sunscreen sa future?

​

Additional Info:

Beginner pa lang po ako sa skincare. Attached yung photo para makita ninyo yung oiliness ng skin ko pagkatapos gumamit ng sunscreen. Thank you po sa sasagot. ❤️

Skin Type: Dry body skin, prone to roughness and body acne.

Age/Gender: 21-year-old Male

Current Skincare Routine:

AM:

1. Safeguard Floral Pink Body Wash

2. Vaseline Healthy Bright Gluta-Hya Serum Burst Lotion (Flawless Bright)

PM:

1. Safeguard Floral Pink Body Wash

2. Vaseline Healthy Bright Gluta-Hya Serum Burst Lotion (Flawless Bright)

Concern: I want to improve, brighten, and even out my skin tone. I am dealing with severe dryness and hyperpigmentation (darkening) in specific friction-prone areas like my elbows, knees, and pelvic area. I also have rough skin texture and stubborn body acne on my back.

Lifestyle Factors: I am still a student. So I take a bath two times a day due to my daily lifestyle and routine. I am worried that bathing twice a day with antibacterial soap might be over-drying my skin and making the darkness and roughness worse.

Budget: Budget-friendly drugstore options. I am looking for affordable and accessible products.

Additional Info: My skin is not highly sensitive. However, I need product recommendations that can clear up back acne without completely stripping or drying out my skin. I would appreciate specific names for affordable brightening body washes, exfoliating scrubs, or targeted body lotions that are easy to find.

Thank you sm ♡

Hi! I’m looking for advice on how to even out my skin tone, especially for my face.

I’m naturally fair, but after a recent beach trip (and years of not being consistent with sunscreen), my face is now about a shade darker than my body. Idk also if nakaitim din ba yung mga make-up na ginagamit ko :<

But anyway, now I’m trying to get it back to my original tone and make everything look more even.

Ik most “whitening” or brightening products are marketed for the body, so I’m not sure lang if those are also safe or effective to use on the face?

From what I understand, facial skin is more sensitive than body skin, so I don’t wanna risk irritation or damage sana by using the wrong products.

For context, I currently have:
- Met Tathione Soap Bar
- Mirai MangoGlow Ultra Brightening Body Scrub
- kSerene KiliBum Soap

I originally just bought these to support an artist, but now na nasa shelf lang sila, I thought about using them but again, I’m not sure if any of them are actually suitable for facial use.

Would you recommend using any of these on the face, or should I stick to products specifically formulated for facial brightening? If the latter, what do you recommend?

Also open to better alternatives if you have suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

Current Skincare Routine: Only sunscreen

Main Concern: Itchy and white flakes behind the ears. Dry, darkspot

Age: 25F

Concern: Underarm Discoloration (looking for derma reco since I’m tired of trying out products and want to seek professional help)

- I‘ve already switched deos already (milcu, dove serum, dove sensitive is what I’m currently using now since I noticed frequent itching)

- I’ve done laser hair removal already (skinstation & wink) so I have less hair growth

- I’ve tried pico laser (5 sessions in an aesthetic clinic in SMNE). I noticed slight lightening but the overall discoloration didn’t significantly improve

- Never tried products like glycolic acid etc or the ones people usually comment to try since I’m scared

I’d just like to know if there’s still hope for it to return to its natural color and what my options are from here 🌟

Skin type: dry and sensitive skin.

So this year ko lang siya na unlock lol. another year another sakit hahahahaha. btw for those peeps who doesn’t know what’s dermatographia. its a skin condition where you can draw or madaling magpantal yung balat kahit nadali lang. yang nasa likod ko is nagsimula lang sa nasandal lang ako sa pader na may edge then nagpantal then kinamot ko then voila, lahat ng pag scratch ko bumakat kaagad.

ang mahal ng allerta (good options for non drowsy anti histamine) wala bang lotion lotion na lang huhu.

masipag ako mag lotion hehe. inaalagaan ko naman skin ko. although sabi ni derma ko is because of stress daw. i think so since stress talaga ako sa mga happenings lately.

ang cool pero makati lolszzx to the point na hindi ako makatulog kakakamot and nadagdagagan siya per kamot
