Female 🐠: basically all of my pores are visibly clogged and enlarged. I get breakouts from this regularly. What do I need to do? I assume I need to go to a spa or derm. Should I be seeking an extraction facial?

If its your first time seeing a particular esthetician they will probably start you with a basic facial that includes some extractions. Seeing your skin, they can give you recommendations on this to change or a process to start.

I don't find extractions bad. By the time they happen, your esteicician has been cleansing your skin and steamed you so your pores are open. You feel some scraping pressure, and sometime a little pinching., but probably not anything worse than what you do on your own.

I usually had a breakout of little pimples a week after, but learned during covid I have rosacea so I think that was really what happened.

I would use a forea cleansing brush, salicylic cleanser(cerave has a great one) followed by an aha/bha toner, follow it up with a retinoid in the pm....morning- wash with forea/cleanser, follow with vitamin C serum and sunscreen. I have been using the ordinary toner and Vit C- good quality for a veryyyy affordable price

What is your current routine? A facial will help but the results will be temporary if you don’t have a good regimen

like

You shouldn’t exfoliate every day, definitely too much for the skin.

Also, make sure the makeup remover is actually a skin cleanser and not just meant to remove makeup. I wouldn’t trust just wipes for example.

Everyone’s skin is so different, but Sunday Riley UFO oil has done wonders for my clogged pores. Since adding it into my routine in early March I have seen such a dramatic difference.

Have you thought about using Hello Ava or developing a better at home skincare routine? A facial can definitely help a ton, but what you do at home is what really matters.

See a dermatologist and do a combo of drugs, lasers and extraction. Throw away the scrubs. If your skin is sensitive, all the stuff you’re doing is making it worse. $$ doesn’t mean it’s good.

Help - how do I fight claims by scammer healthcare providers?

I recently went to 2 different providers.

Dentist, made appt via Zocdoc to see a dentist that was in network. Another dentist at the location saw me instead who was out of network. I have text evidence they said it would be covered before visit. Claim was denied - asking for ~500 dollars.

Saw a specialist who’s office staff verified my insurance would fully cover the claim. Get the claim, says they are out of network. Owe 600.

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷

One of the primary aims of the criminal justice reform movement is to help ex-convicts re-enter the workforce by sealing criminal records, and making it more difficult for employers to judge applicants based on criminal history. The idea is that people are redeemable and capable of reform. Yet the same movement thoroughly enjoys getting people fired and publicly shaming them for making arguments they find “offensive”. A rapist is capable of reform, but not someone who makes a dumb tweet. Got it.
