can u tell me what do I need to do based on my face and some universal looksmaxx stuff that I need to do ( I'm gonna change my hairstyle and lose weight )
 
Does having to much positive lateral canthal look gay and does it effect IPD by making the eyes longer.
Are you talking about canthal tilt? 5-8 degrees is considered ideal for canthal tilt. But anything positive is good.

Not canthal tilt but the lateral canthus tilt

how to grow taller
im 16 and just started growing armpit hair
 
Ah

does negatuve hooding look gay?

Negative hooding doesn’t effect IPD no.
If I were to pull it up it'd make my eyes look longer and give a slight tilt while also tightning my undereye.

What are you asking exactly?

You can PM a picture or send here if your eye area.

Looks aside have you geomaxxed and got better results. And thoughts on clav saying status matters more than looks
I live in the UK and haven’t moved from here.

Status yeah it matters.Clavs doesn’t mean much because it’s a looksmax account jfl

I will get one myself and try it. I’ve been planing to.

Facial hair is fucking subhuman asf.

Any actual good ipl device that works will cost you a decent chunk of money however. Like 400-500. Will take 2 months to get results.

I will dig on reddit and see if i can find any cheaper ones within $200 range , thank u bhai tbh i was just curious about the safety of doing the whole process at home , even if it works 60% im fine fuck this facial hair im hoping its either ALL gone or at least to the point where i dont have to shave constantly giving me razor burns

@chadisbeingmade Good morning, can causing microfractures to the frontal bone, under the eyebrows, make it thicken and make the eyes more hooded?

help with keratosis pilaris faceii? i descend from cl to htn after taking off bbcream.
 
Can i take 15mg beta carotene for 4-6weeks then maintain that with 9mg a day? Or do i need to use 15mg all the time

(Stacking with 12mg astaxanthin, 20mg lycopene and 20mg lutein aswell)
 
does belt pulling work?
No

I have a gf

Keep the bb cream on. I don’t think you can cure that shit tbh.

Yes you can. I would do 50,000IU tho.

How i can ascending to htn
Wouldn’t know without seeing you.

Can applying ice reduce upper eyelids exposure?
If your eyelid looks too exposed because of fat loss, icing may actually do the opposite by tightening skin temporarily.

Vit C (oral not topical)
Why oral administration in the case of changing skintone? It doesn’t reach the skin to produce the effects to the extent that topical vit c does. And if taken in high doses, it is degraded to oxalates and CO2, excess being excreted in urine. Sure, it helps act as a systemic antioxidant, but topical application is optimal for pigment modulation.

Skin-lightening plasma levels of vit c cannot be reached orally. The kidneys won’t let you, since they are pretty efficient at clearing extra vit c once plasma levels go above ~70-80 micromol/L. Some of it even gets oxidized and broken down into CO2, via the Krebs Cycle (albeit a small fraction of total metabolic O2, it shows the body can treat excess fragments of vit c like energy substrates), as well as into oxalates, which can increase the risk of kidney stones, due to calcium oxalate crystal formation, via oxalic acid (from dehydroascorbic acid breakdown) binding to calcium in the kidneys. Even 3g of ascorbic acid every 3-4 hours barely saturates levels to 220 micromol/L. You could use liposomal vitamin c for better bioavailability (which can improve cellular uptake and reach plasma levels of 500-600 micromol/L), co-administered with bioflavonoids, in the form of citrus flavonoids (such as quercetin, rutin, hesperidin), among others, to possibly slow excretion.
GSH (glutathione) helps regenerate vit c from its oxidized form. Together they maintain cellular redox balance and reduce melanin production (via, but not limited to, tyrosinase inhibition).
Vitamin C recycles oxidized vit e back into its active form. They create a strong lipid-water phase antioxidant network, great for protecting both the skin barrier and intracellular compartments.
Niacinamide enhances skin barrier, inhibits melanosome transfer (from melanocytes to keratinocytes), and reduces inflammation. Synergizing with vit c targets melanin production and transfer, making them a good stack for tone correction.

The bioflavonoids aid in regenerating ascorbate radicals, slowing vit c absorption in the gut, and can reduce renal excretion. Even though oral administration goes systemic, for noticeable pigment correction, localized high concentrations are needed to target the epidermis. Topical use can even suppress melanin, lightening the skin, via tyrosinase inhibition. Although you need to approach it differently, using L-ascorbic acid (L-AA) serum (10-20%) at pH <3.5, applied in the morning under sunscreen, due to its ability to prevent and repair UV-induced oxidative damage. It neutralises reactive oxygen species, reduces sunburn response, limits collagen degradation, and reduces hyperpigmentation.

L-AA is the most potent, but very unstable. The liposome protects ascorbate in the gut and facilitates absorption via lymphatic routes, bypassing the sodium-dependent vitamin c transporter (SVCT) saturation, which is responsible for uptake and tissue distribution. It requires that pH range to remain stable and penetrate the stratum corneum (outermost layer of the epidermis), effective at 10-20% concentrations, as stated before. If your skin is sensitive or prone to irritation, a better alternative would be Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP), which is water-soluble, gentler, and more stable, albeit less potent for collagen stimulation and pigmentation, but also less irritating. Another one to consider could be Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP), which is also water-soluble and stable at pH ~6-7. It has anti-acne and antioxidant benefits, but is less effective for deep skin penetration.
