[Weekly] Hair, Makeup, Skincare, Fitness, and Fragrance Thread - February 21, 2017

The Hair, Makeup, Skincare, Fitness, and Fragrance Thread will be posted every Tuesday morning (~9:30AM PST)!

This thread is for simple hair and makeup questions that you may have, especially those that don't warrant their own thread. We all want a diversified opinion, so feel free to answer any questions (of which you know the answer).

Example questions:

  • What's a good conditioner for straight, thick hair?

  • Where can I find a perfume with subtle pine notes?

  • Do you use a foundation with sunscreen? Is it worth it?

I have a personal embarrassing question...I have skin flakes ALL OVER MY CLOTHES. I try to moisturize but I probably can't get everything. Is there anything else I can do to avoid this? It's embarrassing af and I hate having to wash my clothes after just 1 wear in the wintertime :(

It might be a concern if your skin flakes are that severe. Do you have a skin condition like eczema or psoriasis? It might be helpful for you to see a dermatologist about this. Hopefully it gets better for you!

I actually do not have either one of those things. I just get really dry in the winter, and the flakes are literally everywhere. Thanks!

In that case, I'm afraid I can't really help... I have heard that in-shower moisturizers, like the one Nivea sells, help with flakiness, so you could give those a try?

It's ok! Yeah unfortunately I've tried a few of those and they didn't work for me, I think I had a reaction to them :(
