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 know most people don't like tiktok, or insta, but there's an amazingly awesome ghoul, on there called Nina Pool. She is autistic and her special interest is researching ingredients in products. She has a dupe for every expensive product available on the market. But also, along side she explains what they do, which is hugely informative. Highly recommend.

Damn that's the problem with avoiding most social media is that there is some good stuff on there, but I never get to know about it

I bet her info is amazingly thorough

I'm yet to leave tiltok, (forced to keep fb). You can just use a Web page to look her up specifically. Have a notebook, you'd never have to go back. I could probably find some good ones and post them, maybe. Do we post tik toys here on Lem? I have a few saved.

I'll search for her on my PC this week, I can do more on there than on my phone, so I may be able to view her videos with a work around 👍

If you can't, let me know, I've been looking for a reason to deep dive and write down all her tips. It's just hard because she shows the cheap product, and doesn't always name them, so screenshots etc. Plus I don't live in US so I can't go to the dollar store, for most of the stuff she recommends.

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.
