What are your favourite skincare products and rituals?

They can be cheap and cheerful pharmacy faves, or embarrassingly extravagant...

Got a serum or moisturiser you swear by?

An aging-well hack for happy skin?

Something that helps with peri/post menopause dry skin?

An indulgent face mask for your "me time"?

What can you not be without, and what has worked or not worked for you?

My current essential is cetraben ointment... it's bog standard and definetly no frills, but as I'm back on tretinoin its saved my skin from the dry, itchy, flakey stage, and the bonus is that it works on my bf's horrific scaly dry feet

My splurge is NIODs low viscosity cleansing ester, its the weirdest thing to clean your face with but it removes all the crap, and doesn't dry my skin. It feels 'oily' but isn't and my next products apply really well...its just really weird stuff

I only do two things :

  1. NO SUN ! The sun is an orb of raging fire and it knows nothing but hatred. The plants can turn its hatred into food ; your skin cannot ! Avoid the light of the sun whenever possible, cover your skin, stay in the shade, wear a hat, stay indoors, use sunscreen, don't even think about tanning. The sun's hatred will in time turn your very own skin against you, if you let it.
  2. Moisturise. Brand is (semi) irrelevant.

I feel your pain, I hate the sun it's too hot, bright and makes me sweaty and horrible. I've also had really bad sun burns in the past so now its spf50 all year, plus UV protection clothing (hoodies, sleeves, hats etc), sun umbrellas, and avoidance at all times

My dads skin burns and doesn't tan, and while I do tan (after I've usually Burnt) I just avoid

My dad incidentally is using a really horrible cream to treat solar keratosis (?) on his cheeks and forehead and looks horrendous. Its like he has thick, brown, oozing, crusty barnacles on his skin, last year he had the top of his ear removed as it was going cancerous. This is the man who would wear a semi transparent white hanky on his head at the beach to protect his bald head

Sun damage is no joke, and yes moisturise!

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
