I know I definitely need to drink more water. Fiber? Any supplements or vitamins of collagen that made the biggest difference?

it can be good or bad

Nails is my only treat and I'd rather not go half the year without them but it takes at least seven months for my entire new strong nail bed to grow out after a manicure. How do people always get them done, doesn't the drilling hurt? Also what do you have done? It seems whatever you pick, there is pain and damage.

Acrylic - for length, which I don't want

Gel - worried about UV exposure and also my hands have tanned a lot so I know it's giving a high UV even at other nail places I've tried

Dip - not tried but I heard it's unsanitary

I also found out I have overgrown hyponychium, do not ever cut that. It hurts!

Hello, i have a few question for everyone who has the answers :) i will write them below:

1. How to get clear skin? Like, i try to drink at least 1,5l water a day, i try to eat clean but sometimes i have a sweet treat, i use korean skincare (i am starting with it), but my face is more red then before, i still have some little bumps on forehead down on cheeks and throat. (i think that i have dry skin, but i use a tons of hydratation creams and serums).

2. Hairgrowth, is it possible to get more hair? Last year i had total hairloss from stress. Now it is okay, but i dont think, that my hair grow back. Also i have frizzy hair. When i tried to style my hair with iron, but the hot air makes my hair fall.

3. I am in my early 20s - should i start to drink collagen, or is it soon for me?

4. What you do to make your gut be healthy? I have had read a lot of articles about importancy of having healthy gut to get a healthy clean skin, but i dont know what vitamins should i use or how much vegetables should i eat a day - i am not a foody and also i dont like cooking (i live with my family and i need for cooking peace. just me and kitchen)

5. How to get white teeth without using chemicals?

thank you for every tips and tricks

I went from NEVER getting sick at all, to having colds/sore throat every other month the past 18 months or so since starting Botox.

I didn’t make the connection at first since I’d never heard about it happening. There have also been a couple of other changes which I at first put it down to.

I have since read that it can be common to get tox flu in the days or week following treatment, but can’t find anything on a general susceptibility.

I’ve had 4 sessions now.

On top of the colds, I’ve had two very bad headaches at the base of my head/neck which I’ve not bad before - well, my migraines stopped happening about 20 years ago in my early 20’s.

Has anyone experienced this or know someone who has?

Is it really that unattractive for women to go without shaving? I haven't shaved anything in over a year, and I see no issue with it, but I've had some backlash from people telling me it's ugly and that I won't find a partner. Personally I don't care what they say because it's my body and my hair, and I'm going to do whatever I want with it because it's not hurting anyone. At this point, I would feel weird with no body hair. It's just a normal part of me now, and I have no intention of shaving it. I've come to like my body hair. It makes me feel confident in a way I can't describe. Also, I save so much time in the shower, and I love that.

Lots of new techecnology is available for us known 2025 so, what are the things you do to be low maintenance in 2025?

Hi everyone! I’m getting married in August, and I really want to look and feel my best for the big day. I have about 4 months to go and I’d love some advice on what facial or skincare treatments I can start now to get glowing, healthy skin.

Some context:

• My main concerns are occasional dullness, some texture, and mild pigmentation
• I don’t have acne but I want smooth, radiant skin for my wedding
• I also tend to get bloated and puffy at times

I’d love to hear what worked for others—whether it’s facials (like hydrafacials or chemical peels), at-home routines, diet tips, or anything else I might not have considered. Also open to suggestions beyond skincare—body treatments, hair care, diet routines that helped you feel amazing on your wedding day.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all, first post here. I have struggled a lot with my hygiene in the past years. I even have had numerous comments that I just actually smell bad, and it's taking a toll on my mental health now. Currently I shower 6/7 times per week with body wash and shampoo (shampoo 2/3x a week). I put on some nivea antitranspirant before going out the door, but when I smell my armpits it smells horrible. I have no idea what to do?? My brother and dad use the exact same stuff and they smell fine so i have no idea what the problem is.

The highly reccomended Revlon blow dryer made straight hair blowouts super easy BUT it destroyed my hair.

I will splurge for a Dyson Air Wrap or Flexstyle or the T3 but can anyone confirm if they are super hot or get super hot while your using it?

Have you had a negative experience with cosmetic injectables?

My name is Antonia O'Flaherty, and I work at the ABC. I'm looking into a story about unregistered/unqualified cosmetic injectors providing botox, filler and other procedures that they're not qualified to do. There have been a few cases of unregistered clinics operating with consequences for patients recently.

I’m hoping to speak to people who may have had a poor experience with cosmetic injectables at an unregistered clinic/home service in Australia. I would also love to chat to anyone about their experiences with cosmetic injectables more generally.

I hope this belongs on this beauty subreddit , just posting this to help any girls/women on here .

I've always been one to use deodorants to get rid of my armpit sweat and stench , and I was on youtube shorts watching a clip of a doctor who said to apply panoxyl for 5 mins on the armpits to get rid of odor . Then, I remembered I had panoxyl in my bathroom, I applied the panoxyl on my armpits for 5 mins and washed it off (around 4 pm) , and usually, after 2 hours, my armpits still smell . But when I tell you (it's 1am now) and my armpits don't smell like anything I'm not even joking ... If anyone wants to try this out , TRY IT !!!!

Key notes I use this 3x a week Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday

I leave it on in the shower for 5 mins, then wash it off, you can also use this on your back, and butt if you have any acne , works amazing!

I use panoxyl 4% wash for body and face

I never grew up wearing makeup, my mom didn't really wear makeup. I'm 24 now and I want to learn how to do nice makeup, natural-ish looking and subtle, but I just want to do it.

Most other people my age started when they were 13 or 14 and I feel like I'm just too late. I don't want to look like an idiot with terrible makeup in public, I'm not in middle school anymore and I work a full-time job. Idk what to do :( and I don't even know how to start, or what to look for, or what my skin type is, it's just all so overwhelming and expensive if I make a purchasing mistake :/

I recently bought some small-lens glasses off eBay after seeing them on an influencer I follow. Before spending $300 to put in my prescription lenses, I asked my friends for opinions and got very mixed responses. A few thought they looked cool, but two said they were ugly and that the small-lens thing is a trend that would fade. One said the glasses look like someone trying too hard to look smart. They suggested I go for classic, bigger frames instead.

I added 4 pics: the first 2 are examples of bigger frames everyone seems to agree on, and the last 2 show the exact frames I bought—worn by the influencer.

What do you think? Are these frames actually giving “ugly” or “trying too hard to look smart/unique”? I keep going back and forth between loving them and thinking they look kind of weird.

I recently had a baby and have very minimal time to invest in a beauty routine. Prior to baby, I was someone who really loved investing in self care with a beauty routine, and I miss how it made me feel.

Because I’m breastfeeding, I’m not comfortable doing some of the things I used to (Botox, retinol, Grandelash) and I don’t have time for a lot of the others (daily hair styling, weekly tans, biweekly manicures). It’s bumming me out.

I’d love any suggestions on investments I can make to make my daily routine more efficient, or super quick daily things I can do to look/feel more done up. I’m thinking about things like brow/lash tints (although I already have dark brows and lashes so I’m not sure if that would make a difference). All suggestions welcome and appreciated!

Been a problem for some time now, I buzzed my hair half a year ago and I thought that would make it go away because there was little hair to cause buildup and it was so easy to clean.

Buzzing my hair didn’t fix it thought and even when it grew back using shampoo or no shampoo had no different.

Then I just resulted in not using it at all because shampoo messed with my curly hair.

I really hate it, like at the end of the day hanging out with friends I see all these white flakes on the back of my shirt and it just makes be feel so nasty.

I want to do this as natural as possible, that’s the reason I buzzed my hair was to get a fresh restart and honestly my curls have been great ever since, just these white flakes ruin it.

How do I fix this?

Since 2022 ive been plucking my brows a lot. Not because i wanted them thin, but because i didnt know what hairs to remove and it was a fuck around and find out issue. I started plucking more and more until i only had 2 lines with no arch. They grow back but i never let them grow fully before im plucking again because chaotic hairs make me feel really self conscious, but id like to let them reset and shape them better now that im more experienced shaping my own eyebrows. How much time can it take? (In case they grow) or, if ive permanently damaged my follicles, is there anything i can do to restore them? Thanks

Hello all! I’ve been working at a job for years now that requires my hair to be pulled back and slicked down and I’ve been struggling with achieving a shiny click back. - For reference I have long straight frizzy hair but I do have some short pieces mixed in at the top I have been trying to grow out for a long time and we have to wear a hat when outside and take it off when in the building.

• I used eco gel for a long time just because it held down my hair and was pretty easy to get but I have since moved to using some “glossy” hair masks and a light sheen of Paul Mitchell freeze and shine spray. I do typically put a little bit of coconut hair oil on and my hair just dries down and looks dull. It’s smooth, holds in place but I really want to get that healthy shine. I typically do a at home gloss treatment weekly and when I do style my hair for work I use a comb and a boar bristle brush to smooth it!

• Any help would be greatly appreciated as I be struggling to achieve a beautiful shiny slick back style!

The commercial from waaaaay back in the day randomly popped in my head today, and I realized that I don't actually understand the purpose of this product? I am a guy, and none of the guys I know have ever thought of using an after-bath splash, so maybe that's why I lack this basic knowledge.

I'm just trying to picture this, though. You've finished your shower or bath, and then you just stand in the tub and... ? Like, you cup your hand and pour a little in and then... just kind of throw it on yourself? And you do that three or four times? And then that's when you dry yourself with your towel?

Or do you dry yourself off first and then do the splash and then... dry yourself off again?

I'm so confused! How does this work? Apparently, I've been carrying around this mystery at the back of my head for more than forty years.

I.e. go to a site like healthline and they have a huge long section on removing it ):

Insta randomly gave me ads once for changing your ear shape ): Anyone else feel like insecurties are being pushed upon them? Growing up I kept hearing from familly how my body was shaped weirdly and I need my neck to be less triangle shaped or I had too many freckles and I should consider bleaching some of my hair... anyone else?

Hello. I'm looking for recommendations on a good heat protectant spray that won't make my hair greasy. I blow dry my hair everyday and sometimes straighten it at around 410 degrees. Thank you!

I wanted to share my nightmare experience with a popular "all natural" hair dye that left me with chemical burns and permanent hair damage. I hope this helps someone avoid what I've been through.

After seeing so many Instagram posts about switching to natural hair products, I decided to try a well-known henna-based dye advertised as "100% plant-based and chemical-free." The brand (which I won't name for legal reasons) claims to be gentle enough for sensitive skin and pregnancy-safe.

The first application went fine - my hair looked great, rich auburn color. But when I did my second application 6 weeks later, everything went terribly wrong. Within 12 hours, my scalp was on FIRE. Red, blistering, weeping sores developed all over my head. The pain was excruciating - I couldn't sleep, couldn't wear hats, couldn't even put my head on a pillow.

I went to urgent care where the doctor immediately recognized it as a severe chemical reaction. Turns out many "natural" henna dyes secretly contain PPD (para-phenylenediamine) to make the color more vibrant and long-lasting, but they don't disclose it on their ingredients. The doctor said she sees this reaction frequently with these products.

Three months later, I'm still dealing with the aftermath. I've lost hair in patches where the burns were worst. I've spent over $800 on medicated shampoos, steroid creams, and dermatologist visits. My hairstylist says the texture of my hair is permanently damaged in some areas.

The worst part? When I contacted the company, they blamed ME, saying I must have mixed it incorrectly or had an "individual sensitivity" that "isn't their responsibility." Yet I found hundreds of similar horror stories online from other customers.

Please, ALWAYS patch test hair products for at least 48 hours before full application, even if they claim to be natural. And research the brand thoroughly - look for actual ingredient lists, not just marketing claims about being "natural" or "chemical-free."

I used to have beautiful, thick hair. Now I'm wearing scarves and hats daily while waiting for my bald patches to fill in. Don't make my mistake.

I have PCOS and have pretty much always grown facial hair, more noticeable around my chin. I’ve been using those “flawless” facial hair trimmers, recently I’ve noticed that my hair is growing back quicker and fuller than it used to, I’ve thought about starting to wax my face. I was wondering if any people here have done the same thing and have some tips on what products they’ve used and some do’s and don’ts for first time waxing? I do have sensitive skin to a certain extent but honestly, it’s getting to the point where I don’t want to trim my face every 2-3 days and would like to find something to help keep it gone longer. TIA
