Curiousity killed me...

[Agentt]

So...I suffer from this little thingy known as hypersensitivity.

Basically it means by body is a little brat which likes to throw tantrums at everything.

It kinda makes me a vampire because now I can't go out in the Sun.

So, listening to this, you might think that all the skin care products I use would be 100% natural stuff.


And you would be 100% wrong!
Because actually, I need to use the 100% synthetic stuff!

Why?
Because of preservatives!
Natural products have a boatload of preservatives in them! Which me no lovey very much!

So, finding synthetic stuff isn't very hard because...well, just take a look at skin care products aimed at men

Spoiler

We men don't get the fancy stuff like jasmine extract or aloevera stuff.

Companies just force down chemicals down our throats...



So, anyways, I was buying a face wash and it was then I saw it...

Nivea Face wash, with Ocean Algae ​

Now, I know Algae is natural, which means it will contain preservatives, but...i mean, look at it!
Ocean Algae!

Have you ever heard of algae in face wash!?

I have not, and I was so curious to try it.

Like, how does it feel to have algae on your skin?!


Spoiler: It burns..
Yeah, I am indeed allergic to that...
So that's a bit more than a dollar wasted,..

Even for those who aren't allergic, I just wanna point out that this thing is a scam.
It feels just like simple glycerin, and produces barely any lather.
It does leave a moisturized skin, but is horrible for actually cleaning stuff.
And it is extremely expensive as well.

I rather not be a man then

Don't put that stuff on your balls. I got something like that on mine once and that sucked. Don't put anything on your balls.

And, what you are referring to is the alcohol.

Alcohol is added to give the cooling effect and it also acts as an antiseptic.

Problem with alcohol is that it makes your skin very sensitive to temperature.

On normal skin it is fine, but since your balls and armpits are very hot, they feel like burning

Being a man sounds like suffering.
At least you're not a filipino. I can't imagine the pain of being a man and a filipino.

just buy womans' products. they're better anyway

Usually yes, they are. Like deo is too strong for me, so i use simple perfume, or shampoo for women is much better.

For other stuff tho, i can't use them since they have natural extracts

Also use rough leather to wipe your face and an axe to shave. Guarantee 100% manly(your health is another question)
Do mineral based stuff cause reaction to you too?

 

[JayDirex]

you don't need all that fancy cleanser my dude. Here's my regimen:

1. Dove sensitive skin soap for face

2. And YOU HAVE TO MOISTURIZE!! And funny you bring up Nivea because this is my every-single-morning after shower face cream. Use it every day, because you have to add moisture to your face after a shower.

 

[Agentt]

I assume this question is directed towards me and not greyblob


The answer is no. I am fine with anything not having preservatives, tho many mineral based products have that thing called micro beads which are indeed too rough for my skin

Mmm, unfortunately I have oily skin, not dry skin.

As for a face bar, i do own one, not dove since it's expensive, but it's a medicated one.

Soap, or almond (or similar) oil for cleansing (and moisturiser), sun screen 50+, baby lotion. That other stuff is just there to take your money
Even with oily skin, you must moisturise. Oils are good, it doesn't increase your skin's oiliness. I have oily skin type and I use oil. Its fine

 

[Deleted member 57675]

Full on agree.

Grow aloe vera. Now slice it. Rinse yellow sap away. Refrigerate. Place on skin.

Not recommended if you don't know which aloe or you're allergic to it.

 

[ConansWitchBaby]

But can you use it as shampoo and to detail a car engine?

Oh, believe me, I cannot moisturize. It gets so sticky and humid and sweaty. Moisturizers also cause pimples.

I don't use sunscreen cause I just don't go in the sun. The sun screen protects you from the UV rays while my problem is with the heat.

Full on agree.

Aloevera is quite useless, it is literally just water,
Yes, I have many aloes growing here and while i can use them, they...don't do anything quite honestly.

Like, aloe is like solid water, that's all.

Not really great for cleaning but nice for cooling if you are suffering from burns

 

[Jailbreak571]

...
You guys use products? I only use soap in everything. Soap in face wash, soap cleaning my body, like literally everything that is related in cleaning my body. Maybe that is also why I have tons of pimples... Meh, whatever.
