Skin Glow

[mats.v]

One of the most underrated halos for looking attractive is the literal barrier above our bones. What good is good bone structure without great skin. Especially if you’re a mtn, having good skin will boost those health indicators super super far




In chasing this look, I’ve done some research and need some refinement.. I already have a slight plan for coloring which mainly is compromised of bondi sands tanner for a slight bronze/reddish skin tone.. let me know your critique of this plan based on the example of my skin goal. I already have rather clear skin, with just texture and coloring issues.



Hyper smooth and glossy skin is the goal.

Already undergoing lasering, specifically fraxel, as well as a good routine including hyaluronic acid serum twice a day. And 1-2xs weekly hydration boost masks.

Really trying to lock my skin in by may..
any tips for hyper hydrating the skin barrier?

The final goal is below:

Anyone ever heard of skinvive by juvederm? It’s a hydro boost injection.. with lasting and instant affect..

Really going to look into this to get that halo as soon as the timeframe I’m aiming for.


Some advice and suggestions from people who’ve looked into it would really help

Feel like hydro 6 percent and azaleic 26 is tm i use 4 and 20 - ghkcu can be used all the way from 2-5mg and 2 is typically a low dose - use an active based cleanser too like ceraves blemish cleanswer (salacylic)

appreciate it haha, its definitely expensive so i recommend starting one by one if you cant afford it, but the skin difference after 2 months will be insane

if your skin is easilly irritated then my stack is too strong as you said, it can cause burns and patchy unmatching skincolor.

This stack wouldn’t work for anyone tbh without cycling most of these i use 4 percent hydroquinone so my cycles can be longer, and 20 percent azaleic so i dont have to take breaks. I prefer taz over tret and also use cindamycin in the morning (it really helps a lot)

hmm, your saying this is too much for any living human
i mean it has only been 4 months so far on this stack and im doing fine but i have been building myself up to it slowly and was using lower concentrations including .05 tret and others. I agree though this is too much lmao

Current plan:

Continue fraxel, which is going to do the most work.

Promote this affect with key routine:

Gentle Cleansing,
Vitamin C serum,
Hyaluronic acid serum,
Clinique moisture surge serum,
Lotion,
And finally spf30…

+ 1-2x weekly hydration boost masks complimenting the routine.



Maybe skinvive if I don’t achieve the desired look by early sunmer.

This is a super Autistic Stack. Ngl
Should mog though
