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

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.

I’m a 9th year in Big Law and have been struggling to get much work done the last 1.5 months. Mentioned this to my doctor at my recent visit, and she offered to increase my Vyvanse dosage, but I told her I wanted to see if it got better soon. I’m wondering now if it’s burnout. Anyone else experience burnout and see a decrease in the effectiveness of your meds, and if so, how did you overcome it?

Unvaccinated people need to stop with the “but if you’re vaccinated why do you care” argument. Unvaccinated people are akin to drunk drivers.

An unvaccinated person has a higher likelihood of catching and spreading Covid to others because they are cowards who care only about themselves. You are harming other people.

Okay, it’s time to stop putting on a face about this. I love my boyfriend so much, but covid is ruining us. We are both still WFH and argue every few days about the dumbest stuff. My and his mental health are both diminishing and it feels like an impossible trench to dig out of. My stomach hurts every time we fight and I (independent of him) feel so stuck in this horrible global crisis. I don’t want to lose him, but I need to figure out how to dig us both out of this unsustainable mental state.
