I'm a sucker for good deals (who isn't?) so thanks to K-beauty websites like Jolse & Wishtrend, as well as Picky & a few brands who let me try some of their products, I've racked up quite a bit of skincare over the recent years.

It might seem a bit over the top but recently I've made two lists to keep track of all my items: Skincare I have open vs unopened products that I have stored in a large bin. I hate being wasteful so I made these lists in hopes that It'll help me keep my 2022 resolution of not buying any unnecessary skincare (except on Black Friday 🤫) & in general to help me keep inventory of my collection.

What do y'all do to keep track of your products?
Are there any products on my list that you've been eyeing/are curious about? 👀

How do you keep track of your skincare products?

Does anyone know around what age it's normal for moles/beauty marks to stop popping up? If at any age at all... 

For some reason, I believed we stopped getting them during childhood but I've noticed new moles have been showing up on my arms, stomach, face & even scalp - even now when I'm in my early (almost mid) 20s. Is this normal or should I be concerned? 

The marks don't seem unusually shaped or weird in any form so I'm not too concerned right now but I do find it strange.

When do moles stop appearing?

Hi everyone, my mom is in her late 40s & has recently come down with a bad case of what we believe to be hormonal acne. I know the first step should always be go to a dermatologist which we plan on doing (does anyone know of any good & affordable derms in the LA area?) but I just wanted to ask:

What are some simple at home things you guys have done to help ease/reduce the breakouts?

Her breakouts are deep cystic acne with no postules, they're painful & are even turning deep red/purple & leaving marks on her skin.

Taking any suggestions for products that have worked for you to advice/foods to eat or avoid. I basically have a pharmacy at home so I've provided her with some spot creams, toners & exfoliants/serums but nothing has helped.

Appreciate it, thank you! :)

Help with Hormonal Acne

There might be quite a few of us out there who have tried just about everything to fix an "imperfection" of ours that makes us insecure but nothing has worked...

In my case, that would be the appearance of my nose; more specifically my large pores & sebaceous filaments. I've tried everything from AHA, BHA, retinol, niacinamide & a few other actives to try to get rid of my sebaceous filaments that make it look like I have tons of blackheads all over my nose all the time but so far nothing has helped.

It's a work in progress but I'm trying to slowly come to terms with those imperfections just being a part of me & knowing that the large pores on my butterfly zone are genetic, there's very little I can do to change my concerns.

Anyway, I'm really curious to hear about everyone's stories!
Have you learned to accept whatever made you self conscious about yourself before? What was it?

What's something about your skin that you've learned to accept / are working on accepting?

You can be as specific or generic as it gets!
Just curious to see what everyone's responses would be & what the most beloved skincare step is.

In my case, I'd be a moisturizer - no moisturizer in specific but if I had to pick:

If you were a skincare product, what would you be?

Besides Wishtrend&#39;s discontinued Hours Long Gauze Sheet Mask, this has got to be the best mask I&#39;ve ever encountered &amp; this is coming from someone who doesn&#39;t like wash off masks because they&#39;re such a pain to, well, wash off. If you&#39;re sceptical of trying this product because you think it might be sticky or tacky, I can assure you this mask goes on smooth like butter &amp; washes off so easily. Whenever I use this mask, I always leave it on for at least an hour to get as much moisture into my skin as possible &amp; once I wash it off, my face feels incredibly smooth, refreshed &amp; the obvious: well moisturized. I assure you, if you&#39;ve heard hype around this product, it&#39;s for a very good reason.

❌ Contains Fragrance.

Compared to the toner, in my experience, the scent of the lotion was super light to barely there.

This product is truly the definition of a buttery lotion; it's easily spreadable & just melts into your skin upon rubbing. It claims to be your one stop product for up to 9 skin troubles:
- Dry skin               - Dullness               - Dead skin
- Blemishes          - Acne                      - Pores
- Fine wrinkles     - Sensitive skin       - Loose skin

This product can definitely be a hit or miss for some people & while I can't speak for everyone I think this cream might be more suitable for those with drier skin types as opposed to those with oily skin.

Overall, I found it to be a pretty good product. It creates a layer of moisture over the skin that's not uncomfortable in the slighest but feels rather nourishing to the skin. The moisturization power lasted all day even in cold weather & it added softness to my skin (a benefit which is always welcomed!). As the rating says, its worth a try!

Nothing bad but this wasn&#39;t exactly hydrating on my dry skin, more like just refreshing.

This product truly delivers on it&#39;s claims. I&#39;ve been using this solution for around a month now but just within the first week of use I noticed how healthy &amp; glowy my skin looked. It truly soaks into the skin without leaving any kind of feeling behind; no tackiness, heaviness, or greasiness...It really just feels like water. I highly recommend giving this product a try :)

The only downside to this product: the price 🥶

As a dry skinned person, I absolutely loved this product! It&#39;s extremely moisturizing but not at all in a way where it left me feeling tacky or greasy. After just a few minutes, the cream absorbed into my skin and left my face feeling not only well moisturized but also soft and supple. This is by far the only cream I&#39;ve come across that&#39;s rich but not heavy in the slightest. A must try product for dry skinned folks!

This mask really wasn&#39;t for me nor do I really understand the hype around it. First of all, the smell! It was so offputting to me, it was a very earthy kind of smell but more than pleasant it just smelled very much like soil or forest (not in the refreshing way). It also took me quite a while to remove the mask because of the little bits of mugwort in the mask that would get stuck in my hairline or by the folds of my nose and at times even scratched my cheeks while I was spreading it onto my face. Overall, it did nothing to calm my skin when it was feeling irritated besides the short refreshing feeling that only lasted a few minutes after I applied the mask.
