A Study Regarding The Importance Of Personality

Even if I spent 100.000 euros in surgery and treatments I'd just stay ugly. Some people can only give up.

You can buy a tanning bed for $2000

Thank you.

Rabbit teeth (lol) are slowly going to improve over the next 12 months. They showed me a simulation. My teeth won't be perfect but there will be improvement.

Is nose more important than chin?

nothing wrong with your chin

tellersquill and I have the same – it's average

The best solution for bipolarism is a bullet in the head. Joking aside, I f*****g hate bipolars. Screaming at you in public, threathening and insulting you for absolutely no f*****g reason, then apologizing as if it was nothing. You always have to be on edge in their presence. All out of the f*****g blue. I truly had shitty and embarrasing experiences both at work and in public because of them. Unnerving and scary.

Yes, they are retarded. Should be forced to be on medication involuntary.

Never tan with tanning beds.

Its a short term benefit for a long term problem

If your concern is looks maxing then why would you encourage, and partake in premature aging?

Skin maxing guide

Sun screen broad spectrum (apply every day before going outside)
Retinol cream (apply at night)
Hydrating cream containing vitamin C,E and hyaluronic acid (apply morning, and night)

Botox once you are in your late twenties for preventive wrinkles and creases


History lesson

Tanning is a fairly recent trend. Tanned skin is not, nor has it ever been, a universally accepted ideal. Today “ideal” skin color varies among different cultures. For example, Caucasian women in Europe, the US, and Brazil often want to look tan, while women in China, Korea, and Thailand want to look fairer, more pink in tone. Both Indian men and women use “fairness creams” to lighten the complexion; these are supposed to guarantee “success in business and love.”1

Historically, pale skin has indicated high status. A tan signified that you had to work outdoors as a manual laborer, while pale skin announced that you could afford to stay out of the sun and spend time and money cultivating your appearance.


Meet Prince Re-hotep, high priest of Heliopolis (circa 2,580 BC), and his wife Nofret, whose name means “the beauty.”2 Nofret, whose statue was discovered near Memphis in 1871, has the pale, smooth skin so admired by ancient Egyptians.

Nofret’s fair complexion reflects her high rank. She maintained her skin tone with powders and lotions made from tree resins like myrrh and frankincense, and used pigments like yellow ochre to make her skin pale and clear.


Of the nomadic North Africans of the Sahara Desert, the Islamic Moroccan scholar Ibn Battuta wrote in 1356, “Bardama women are the most perfect in terms of beauty — outwardly most extraordinary, flawlessly white and very plump.”3 The women achieved their pale skin (and possibly their plumpness) by staying in their tents, and avoiding the harsh sun.

In Europe, pale skin was likewise a sign of privilege, and when the upper classes went out riding on horseback, they applied lotions made of violet and rose oils to protect their skin from the sun.

In Japan from the eighth century on, female beauty was associated with a white face — the so-called white mask, or o-shiroi. This was achieved with lead- or mercury-based powders, which were applied to the face. Red tints (beni-bana) then colored the cheeks.5

As in Japan, Chinese women powdered their faces white, and applied color to their cheeks.6 A pale complexion was the accepted aesthetic ideal. In 1671 the writer Li Yu praised the wearing of dark blue clothes, since “it makes light complexions even lighter, and if those with darker complexions wear it, the darkness of their complexion is less easily discerned.”7


Fair skin remained highly valued in Europe. During the reign of Louis XIV (1638-1715), members of the Sun King’s royal court strove for a flaw- less, white complexion.8 Fashionable French society avoided the sun, and also used skin-whitening cosmetics to help conceal scars that were so common in an era when diseases like smallpox left the skin covered in blemishes and pockmarks.

Powders such as “Spanish white,” made of mercury, and “pearl white,” which contained white lead (we know now that those weren’t great health choices either!), were combined with greasy substances like wax, whale blubber and vegetable oil, and applied to the face. Over this base layer, rouge was painted onto the cheeks all the way up to the eyes. The red coloring agents (such as red lead and cinnabar) were also toxic, and long- term use could lead to skin damage; loss of teeth; lead poisoning; eyesight problems, and neurological disorders.9


By the end of the 17th century, French doctors, concerned about the long-term effects of harmful mercury and lead-based cosmetics, successfully campaigned for the outlawing of these toxic ingredients.10

As use of cosmetics spread throughout France, the upper classes sought to differentiate themselves with more subtle, natural-looking makeup.11 During the Victorian era, female beauty was closely associated with notions of purity and innocence. Makeup suggested artfulness and coquetry, and its use was considered inappropriate for proper 19th century girls. Of course, women still used cosmetics, but the alabaster face of the 18th century was abandoned in favor of a more subtle, natural- looking visage. Nineteenth century women also continued to avoid the sun, carrying parasols outdoors and wearing large straw hats to keep their complexions pale.12


The sun became associated with health when Arnold Rikli, the “sun doctor,” first used light therapy to treat con- sumption (tuberculosis) in Slovenia in1855. Sunlight was also used to treat depression and even madness.13

In the 1920s, pioneering designer and fashion icon Coco Chanel popularized the idea of tanning, and the sun started to represent pleasure and relaxation as well as health.14

Once tans became popular, sunburn was inevitable, and soon the search was on for a product that would allow burn-free tanning. The tanning oil Huile de Chaldée, created by perfumer Jean Patou and introduced in 1927, promised to “put an end to sunburn, soften and tan the skin.” Eugène Schueller (the founder of the company that would later become L’Oréal) enlisted his research team to develop a product that could prevent the sunburns he received while sailing “without forgoing the tan factor”; Ambre Solaire was the result.15 With benzyl salicylate as a UV absorber,16 Ambre Solaire appeared in April, 1935, just a year before the introduction of annual paid leave in France.17 Paid leave would encourage more people to travel — often to warm, sunny climes where it was easy to obtain a tan.


Just as in the past pale skin had been a mark of privilege, from the 1960s on, a tan announced that you had the leisure to bronze your skin and the money to travel to places where one could be acquired. A tan also suggested enthusiasm for outdoor activities, and, by implication, physical fitness and good health.18

Of course, not everyone had the time or money to take a tropical vacation, but with the development and growth of the artificial tanning market, more and more people were able to give that impression. The first self-tanner, Man-Tan, was introduced in 1959,19 and UV tanning beds started to appear in the US in 1978.20 By the 1980s and 1990s both practices were firmly established in the US.21


However, recently the appeal of the tan has been fading. Today we know that 90 percent of all skin cancers are associated with exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which is also linked to eye damage, immune system suppression, and up to 90 percent of the changes commonly attributed to aging, including wrinkles, leathery skin and brown spots.

As the public has become aware of the long-term risks and results of sun- tanning and using artificial UV tanning beds, truly health-conscious, style- savvy individuals have abandoned tanning to embrace sun protection and their own natural skin tones. As Sarah Brown, Vogue’s Beauty Director, commented: “A healthy glow does not mean a tan, and I think that’s what we have to clear up. A healthy glow is your skin tone, glowing.” In 2008, The Skin Cancer Foundation appealed to people to stop tanning with the launch of Go With Your Own GlowTM, a PSA ad campaign. Developed to encourage women to love — and protect — their skin, whatever its natural hue, the campaign has received $4.4 million in donated ad space and has reached more than 360 million readers.

In the future, perhaps skin that is neither artificially whitened nor UV-damaged will become the new standard for beauty and health.

Just in case it's not clear, my recommendation to Dante was a joke, it's part of a running gag.

Men get a lot of dumb advice, and in my opinion "get a tan" is among the dumbest ones.

Are you getting preventative Botox?

Not yet. In a couple years (28) I will start doing treatment along the forehead.


Perfect time to start botox is late twenties - early thirties


botox promotes and encourages collogen, and elastin production. it has a wide arrange of benefits from paralyzing facial muscles. keeps the skin tight, and flexible

@hairblues would know more?

Don't forget that most sunscreens have ingredients that reduces testosterone and increases estrogen. The sunscreens made for babies usually don't have these ingredients and higher spf (good for nerdics like myself). Something to think about if you're using sunscreen daily.

often over looked but is the best product for reversing signs of aging, and maintaining a youthful appearance.

When your skin is not constantly trying to prevent damage, it gives it time to heal, and turn over at a cellular level.

I have not done botox yet, I might start to do corner of eyes I get creases when I smile, not bad yet but don't want it to get worse. My forehead is fine to be honest i have one line but its so close to my hair line it does not bother me.

I have done restalyne in my lips for a LONG time now like 6 years and she puts what is left over in my nasalobia folds as preventative and I just started to do my cheek bones in December which is f*****g awesome..>I dont know why or how but if you do checks it actually makes your under eye less dark she did not do the 'tear through' so I don't get it but its pretty amazing.

Basically if you go to a good injector who understands the face and product they just can do a little here/there and it definitely takes a few years off. Over filling looks ridiculous and muppet like.

I have good skin genetics if someone is Irish or fair skin get botox early I know women ten years younger than me that are all lined like crazy.

I am more interested in a few years doing a neck lift if that starts to go...relatively inexpensive and takes like 10 years off some people...its underestimated in both men and women as a procedure.

fillers are great.

If you like the look then Maybe you should consider fat grafting, which is a more semi-permanent approach.

A good surgeon will be able to address any additional areas where volume was lost. Regaining that plump appearance that's associated with youth.

 

[Dench57]

by the time my skin/wrinkles become an issue they'll have tech to reverse it (10-15 years™). there is so much money and development in biotech for cell-based regeneration. anti-aging is the no.1 cosmetic issue worldwide

just lol at people lathering themselves in suncream all day trying to future-proof themselves

Yeah, but skin cancer will still be a thing.

I wear sunscreen religiously.

No risk, I live as a recluse and rarely see sunlight, basically only on the way to my workplace. I'm not pale as f*** for nothing.

I don't need much on cheeks (I'm not trying to have model cheeks just what is natural looking for me) so it is less than 1 syringe..and it last a long time...Its probably going to last a year and then longer each additional time..so it's not really that expensive...they have one filler Voluma that last over 3 year.
Right now I am just using restalyne because I use i in Lips ( i prefer restalyn for lips over juviderm to me they sit differently)

down road if i lose more I may get something like this done but to be honest I brought my almost 80 year old mother to get filler and with just 1 syringe of JUvaderm Ultra it took care of her cheeks and her jowls..This could just be our genetics, my Mother skin aged amazing...My Mother also got 'Tighten' done several times on her neck and jaw area and this helped tighten her skin...she would really need a surgery but her age she is not interseded in this lol.

They really have fantastic stuff now available.

You can read on real self.com about various procedures before doing them to see if worth it or not and do research in addition...people will post what works what is bullshit for cosmetic procedures.
