i'm trying to start skin care i don't have a moisturizer yet and chat gpt said i can only use HA at night without it , but i want to start the day freshly so can i use it in the morning before SPF after washing my face ? also recommend me cheap products that can work with it so i can improve my routine thanks
 
I don't see why it'd be an issue using it at day. Just make sure you're actually using it properly and you'll be good.
Also most skincare is cope tbh, if you truly want results use tretinoin, accutane if you can be bothered with the side effects.

You can apply HA both morning and night with a moisturiser and SPF in the morning. I'd recommend you to start using a tretinoin cream (0.025%)

can you clarify what do you mean by actually using it properly ?

i don't have a moisturizer , is it mandatory ? i heard it helps lock in the water cells on the skin and without it the hydration doesn't last

When you wash your face and there's still water on it. THAT'S when you apply hyaluronic acid. It's a humectant so the idea is you need water on your face for it to grab onto so that it hydrates your skin. I'd recommend you massage it in till skin is dry as well.

Should've replied to this on my previous comment but I can't be bothered man. I've lost fucking everything that's mattered to me, gave me an excuse to wake up in the morning and actually get out of bed.
Anyways yeah I'd get a moisturiser I don't see why you haven't already seen as you're already spending money on skincare

tbh the only skin care you need is a moisturizer for your skin, SPF50+ PA++++, Tretinoin cream 0.025% and you could add a vitamine C serum or GHK cu serum or both. HA won't do much

if you mean appliance i do 2 drops each side of my face and massage it for 10 seconds
I don't know what 2 drops looks like, I apply a bit more I think. You'll know if you're applying enough, once it's massaged in (WITH water) your skin will feel great

Vit C is cope, azaelic acid is way better.

so it's to be used on a damp skin but if gpt says without a moisturizer its pointless

Don’t start with 0.025 only if you are applying it to scars

i just didn't think about it and what would you recommend as a moisturizer

It's a long story bro, I think this is an appropriate time to conclude everything.
The only thing that is keeping me motivated is that I'm not sub 5, but even the thought of saving up for the surgeries I need feels like too much I just want all this bullshit to be over with

Nigga fuck chat gpt, you think the moisture is going to just all evaporate?
It won't be AS effective without it though obviously
alright so you recommend me to use at the morning after wash and then just spf and i'm good ? is that great to begin with ?

Cleanser -> HA -> moisturiser -> spf.

Also yeah pretty solid skincare routine, I said previously but make sure whatever products you get are as simple as possible. I wasted so many years and so much money constantly switching between different gimmick products, just to make my acne so much worse. At the end of it all the only thing that helped was a skincare routine consisting of cleanser, moisturiser and prescription acne treatment (epiduo the doctors are fucking fags they gave me tret to start off with)

don't conclude everything bro at the end of the tunnel you'll always find light

don't do it man
Just sick of ts man. I'm going to regret ranting in this post about skincare because it's completely off topic but it's pain all around me.

Spent so many years of my life isolating myself because I'd get bullied for being ugly and autistic, like 5 months ago I started going to this support thing at my highschool at a last ditch attempt at having a social life, it actually worked. It was great. My support worker made me feel like a human being, finally got out of my constant hateful mindset.

Literally this week just gone she found my reddit account where there was posts about me using oxytocin in the bathroom to feel normal, posts confessing that I had feelings for her (nothing creepy like describing her, just a confession) She then had to report me to higher ups so I have to go to some bullshit meeting tomorrow about coping strategies, focusing on my exams. I don't give a fuck about any of that bullshit anymore. I GET that they have to report this bullshit but they don't realise just how much she helped me get out of my destructive mindset and now they're going to assign me a different person. Bare in mind the whole support team will likely have a brief on me, they're literally never going to see me the same ever again. Even if I try connect with whomever I may get as my support teacher it'll never be the fucking same. There's always going to be that distance.

I get ranting about foids on somewhere like this is cringe but fucking hell man when you go from complete isolation for years on end to someone simply taking an interest in your hobbys, actually giving a fuck about your wellbeing how am I supposed to live with going back to how I was before. This is the whole reason I isolated I KNEW some bullshit like this would eventually happen.

It's OVER.

Sorry about the rant to anyone who has to read through this bullshit

Again, highly recommend cetaphil. I've used cerave before but never really responded to it that well so from personal experience cetaphil is a very solid choice their ingredients are simple as fuck so minimal risk of any allergies that you'll get from gimmick skin care

that is terrible man, im so sorry. anyone would feel crushed after feeling that.

i know it might feel like it's over atm, but you have to understand that you're not broken beyond repair. you didn't do something evil or nasty, you just responded to finally being treated like a person.

im here for you man : (

I get it's not over it's acc gay as fuck being this hurt by something like this happening.
I was hoping the whole crush would've been fake anyways from the oxytocin but it isn't I guess. I feel I wasn't even truly in love with her just appreciated having someone by my side yk?

Either way I'm gonna face the music tomorrow, my cope at the moment is look my best for tomorrow.
Did cardio earlier to reduce any potential bloat. This is all to reduce the 'creep' factor as much as possible. THANKFULLY I've never done anything creepy, not once but you know how society is

I'll show you the ones I used but the results I got will have been mainly from the prescription cream (epiduo) that I got.
