@Abdullah The sun does have few other alleged benefits but they aren't for skin, and the sunlight need not be direct. For example, sunlight helps regulate circadian rhythm. That may have something to do with the indoor/outdoor energy thing…

(Quote) Vitamin D doesn't have to come from the sun. You can get it through a multivitamin or fortified foods as Perry said. Even milk has some Vitamin D. I've read that Vitamin D can't pass through windows. You have to be outside to get i…

(Quote) Never been to Florida or Arizona, but I have been to Southern California. I hadn't noticed anything different about people's skin other than that it was tanner. If I looked closer, I'd probably see more wrinkles. Tanning is bad for the skin.…

(Quote) Thanks. That article was very informative.

(Quote) The Dove bar has CAPB though I don't know how much.Sodium Lauroyl Isethionate, Stearic Acid, Lauric Acid, Sodium Oleate, Water (Eau), Sodium Isethionate, Sodium Stearate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Fragrance (Parfum), Sodium Laurate, T…

This leads me to another question...can skin ever be over-hydrated? Say you used a blend of 50% water and 50% hyaluronic acid (which already has the best water-holding capacity) with a 100% occlusive. Could that be too much water for skin to take?
-
(Quote) I don't know how to classify my skin condition. I don't have flakes/peeling so it's not dry in that sense. I haven't tried acid peels but will give them a shot. Is mandelic acid any good? There's so many acids out there now. Niacin…

(Quote) The cleanser I've been using lately is Cerave: Aqua / Water / Eau, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Glycerin, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Peg-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate, Niacinamide, Peg-6 Caprylic/Capric Gl…

(Quote) People say around here that even soap irritates the skin. So maybe it's good for once a week usage. Clay masks also irritate the skin and some people swear by them.

What about injection of brown adipose tissue?
-
(Quote) On that note, wouldn't anything that irritates the skin also have to stimulate turnover?
-
(Quote) The bottles are visibly clean. They were sitting in dish soap water for around 30 min and afterward left to dry upsidedown.
-
(Quote) Please tell me that's photoshopped.
-
(Quote) It's supposedly used by beauticians to stimulate the skin by pricking it with small needles to encourage cell turnover or something like that.

I was just looking at Cetaphil's Daily Facial Cleanser list: Water, Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Panthenol, Niacinamide, Pantolactone, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Sodium Benzoate, Citric Acid I can't seem to fi…

(Quote) What about those keratin straightening systems? Is it really just formaldehyde doing the job? I suppose, like you said, it's better to tell people that protein is straightening their hair rather than embalming fluid.
-
(Quote) Interesting...in that third article it says "Protease activity does not elevate if a mild cleanser that does not increase skin-surface-pH is used". But I thought even mild cleansers raise the skin PH? Dove Sensitive Skin Bar is ne…

Are there any studies that show a long-term noticeable effect on the skin from using soap?
-
(Quote) Where do you get your distilled water? Does it matter if it's not totally pure if you have a good preservative system that actively combats these microbes?
-
(Quote) Are you saying then that deep conditioning treatments (usually with hydrolyzed keratin) don't work? Is there no way to infuse the hair with protein so that it can't wash away?
-
(Quote) Isn't that just a myth? I mean...people have been using soap for centuries.
-
Is castile (olive oil) soap anionic?
-
(Quote) But if that's the case, then you might as well wash your face with Irish Spring or baking soda...I think the PH of the soap still has an effect on your face, regardless of the water.
-
(Quote) That leads me to another question...are nonionic or amphoteric surfactants sufficient for daily facial cleansing? I could see if you haven't washed your face in a week or so, then maybe something stronger is warranted. Does it take …

(Quote) Because of their performance?

(Quote) Which is easier for the skin to replenish, protein or lipids?

(Quote) Cerave Facial Cleanser: Aqua / Water / Eau, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Glycerin, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Peg-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate, Niacinamide, Peg-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, Sodium Methyl …

(Quote) Well, yes, I'm aware of that. But the studies linked above have found other uses for it. It would be capable of denaturing hair keratin.
-
According to a study of Keratineses, this Ronozyme ProAct could straighten hair (better in conjunction with sodium thioglycolate). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6095591/ This patent also depicts a keratinase from that study https://p…

(Quote) That's what I meant...I doubt those chemicals, especially in a relatively short amount of time, could permanently do such a thing. They react differently with dead material (hair) than with living organisms (follicles). I'm sure th…
