My wife does a multi step facial skincare routine at night. She said that my face skin is better and I get no acne and that maybe she should use my face wash..... My face wash finished months ago and ive been using the hand wash to wash my face. Thats the secret to my facial skincare.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You know, you boys are not fair. My husband has gorgeous, hair commercial locks and perfect skin. He uses bar soap and what smells like industrial dandruff shampoo. If I try any of that shit my skin would have a hissy fit, on or off my head.

Bias is one hell of a drug.

Is that the active ingredient in the hand wash?

The active ingredient in mine is soap.

My secret is water. And that's it. :)

You shouldn't get acne as an adult I think, unless you eat the wrong food. I could be wrong about that, but for me it seems to work that way.

[–] rainwall@piefed.social 16 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Acne is mainly genetic, and only somewhat affected by environmental factors.

Mostly acne stems from people making too muxh oil/hair/skin cells, to the point that they then clog pours, causing inflamation. Using a quality cleanser will generally help, but mainly its a lottery that you dont have acne.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 5 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

I have to tell you, I almost never see anyone with acne. Is it common in America?

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Not for adults

The "wrong food" for me is sugar. I stopped eating sugar, and my life-long issue with acne disappeared.

I grow a pretty thick beard. Along with that comes a lot of face oil, which makes it soft and smooth.

When I'm shaved, I still generate all that oil, which makes me break out hellishly.

As a teen, I had acne all over my chin and cheeks that nothing seemed to work on.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

Hormonal problems can also cause adult acne

This reminds me of the time I shared a house with 3 other guys. Once in a while I made everyone "chip in" for "dish soap". By "dish soap" I meant one detergent we used to clean everything from dishes to the toilet. And by "chip in" I mean pouring a bit of everyone's shower gels and shampoos into one bottle and stirring.

[–] Chee_Koala@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

Hahaha, perfect. Very inclusive chip in system.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Well... hair. It's about hair. Men who have short hair don't need to take care of it much, because they'll cut it off before it gets damaged. I'm a dude with long hair so I use shampoo for my kind of hair. But the only 2 things on my shower shelf are the shampoo and a bar of soap.

[–] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Add conditioner for me because I have super hard water. And my soap is body wash. But yeah, same principle.

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Me too. Without conditioner, my hair is a floofy mess and too coarse and tangled to even brush properly.

[–] BeUnique@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

IDK I felt the same til I used girlie repairing conditioner for a bit and my short hair became insanely soft! I never went back. Regular shampoo and high grade unscented conditioner advertised for women is the way to go! Then get some moisturizing body wash to help with dry skin (I like the coco butter stuff).

Those all in ones suck in comparison. Plus I don't need an underlying smell of cheap cologne on my body... I have good cologne to wear.

I wish. 90% of male targeted soap products are now “3 in 1” body washes that “clean, refresh and rejuvenate.” I miss the days when 3 in 1 meant soap, shampoo and conditioner. Saying “X in 1” on a soap bottle that is only regular soap is false advertising. And if X >=5 it better be able to degrease my valve covers.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You need some 9 in 1 soap.

Shampoo

Conditioner

Body wash

Chicken wash

Grandma wash

Dishes wash

Dog wash

Potato wash

Car wash

[–] theyoyomaster@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What’s this bullshit, I can’t even use it on my guns or airplane? What about my airplane guns?

This is missing a few things. It also needs to be toothpaste and a laxative.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Fun fact, most soaps are laxatives.

Actually, you want a different one for carpet and dishes. They always burn in the eyes.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Wouldn't recommend using the dish one on your car either unless you plan on reapplying wax.

[–] BorgDrone@feddit.nl 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Bold of you to assume my car is waxed.

Or wash for that matter.

Im a guy and use multiple products in my routine. I like them, they make me feel pretty.

[–] Mike_Hunt@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago

i get the 5 in 1 personally, i don't need the hair, i do that separate.

[–] robomuffin79@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

One that can also be used as a cat or dog shampoo would be useful

I still don't get, if the male one is capable of cleaning multiple areas of the body with no irritation, but things like normal conditioner can't be used on the scalp, why do the manufacturers not make normal conditioner have the "safe to use on any part of the body" feature that men's multi-clean clearly has? Then people wouldn't have to be so careful with conditioner.

Does something in the chemistry of conditioner mean it can't also be skin soap? The people demand answers!

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Conditioner is for your hair.. how would you not use it on the scalp?

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Shampoo exists for scalp, conditioner exists for long hair basically. You lather it into your hair held away from your head, keep it luscious and healthy looking

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I've had my hair long for most of my life. Trust me, I know about hair care. I just don't see how there's a problem with conditioner and the scalp. Also, there are 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioners already.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

OC is definitely correct that some conditioners say in the usage directions to avoid massaging them into the scalp. Source: had long hair and used conditioner for years, which is when I noticed this.

[–] Walk_blesseD@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

Some people can get a build-up of oil if they use conditioner directly on the scalp. If you've ordinarily got a dry scalp it's probably fine though.

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

True! I wish they would all do that though. People keep on gifting me conditioner and it's a pain to use

[–] 4grams@awful.systems 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yep, I use Dr. Bronners for everything. Especially when camping, when it’s: hair, face & body, toothpaste, shaving cream, dish detergent, bug repellant, emergency lubricant (stuck stoves, tentpole, etc), laundry soap, and anything else I can find to use it for.

I don't like this stereotype. I'm a man and I use women's shampoo and conditioner because all the men's stuff is full of chemicals and synthetic fragrances, it smells like a locker room full of douchebags, and it dries my skin out/makes it flake.

You don't need all the fancy "pro"/"salon" -grade stuff that's mostly just selling the trademark, but decent shampoo and conditioner can make a huge difference.

You kinda gotta try a few to find out what works for you though, because some people's hair is naturally oily and needs a more drying shampoo and a gentler conditioner, while other people's hair is naturally more dry and they need a gentler shampoo with a more oily conditioner. It's not a one-size-fits-all situation.

I'm too lazy to buy champoo, so i a lot of times just wash my hair with soap for long stretches of time.

it's all justa thing that contains a thing that causes oily stuff to mix with watery stuff so water can wash it off, and nukes bacteria's membranes and viruses in the process.

buying it at food and stuff
