Do you have a food trigger?
It's hormonal acne - no diet changes will get rid of it. As someone who suffers from hormonal acne and has tried everything, including elimination diets, it's very annoying to get "suggestions" like this or have people think I must eat poorly therefore I have acne.
Wrong. Eating too much sugar/carbs can affect your insulin which affects your hormones. Reduce your carb/sugar intake and you'll see results.
I always thought fashion was more about self expression. Who cares about the label if you're happy with the product? Mind your business, OP.

Mom went to use the gift card which had a zero balance!!!!! I physically went to the stores and they said they have no record of purchase, return or gift card! What?????? I called corporate and emailed several times with someone who ended up doing nothing. I was a constant customer at Blue Mercury Montclair, NJ, Millburn, NJ and Ridgewood, NJ but will NEVER shop there again!! Your Loss Blue Mercury!!!
Does this look like Yelp to you?
Think of food as fuel instead of a hobby and you'll easily drop the weight.
IF is a great way to introduce healthier habits, however you still need to remember the kcal in vs. kcal out rule. If you're eating at maintenance instead of a deficit you will still not lose anything.
Kcal in vs Kcal out. It's very simple.

Unfortunately the kids at home are watching both parents pass on these dysfunctional type values to their kids. At the end of the day you have no one to blame but yourself when you CHOSE, you have free will, to spend the best of your years with a cheating spouse rather than walkway. You can use every excuse in the book but it doesn't matter because you are progressing in your relationship or on life. You don't get to go back for a redo.
And your point is?
You married a grown frat boy. Also, who he hangs out with says a lot about him. This won't be a quick fix.

I thought eye cream was meant to be used around the eyes. Is it safe to use directly on the eyelid?
Please re-read your question and promptly answer it yourself.

Similar issue. I don't have a pooch, but I seem to get wide around the waist when I gain weight.

Any particular recommendations?
Not pp, but what is your budget? There are great products out there for reasonable prices. For what is worth, this is my pm routine:
1 - wash with Philosophy Purity (I am trying it out... so far so good)
2 - Toner R+F reverse line (trying it out as well)
3 - Copper Amino Isolate Serum by NIOD (https://niod.com/product/nid-copper-amino-isolate-serum-21-15ml)
4 - NIOD Hyaluronic complex (https://niod.com/product/multi-molecular-hyaluronic-complex-15ml?redir=1)
5 - SK-II essence
6 - The Ordinary salicylic acid 2% OR Lactic acid 10% (I alternate)
7 - Adapalene
8 - Drunk Elephant Glycolic Night Serum
9 - The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension
10 - The ordinary macula oil
11- Drunk Elephant lala whipping cream moisturizer mixed with DE Protini and DE B-Hydra.
I used The Ordinary peeling solution once a week and Drunk Elephant baby facial once a week. When I use these, I follow up with a mask. I love JAYJUN Baby Pure Shining Mask - LOVE IT!
This week I will try a different one - Dr. Jart ceramidin mask.
I am also trying this week Ohui Miracle Moisture Ampoule, but I am on day 3 and it is a 7 days regime... so, can't say anything about it yet.
I DID NOT/DO NOT think SK II masks are worth the cost at all. They are not bad, but I didn't see anything different after using it like some reviewers do/did. Jayjun is amazing though. I bought it from Walmart because I don't trust amazon sellers for that (some people were complaining about fake products). Plus, it is MUCH cheaper than SKII... the results on my skin don't even compare...
You don't need to follow my routine - it is a lot, but I truly have fun trying new things.
If you had to choose something from my routine for hydration, I would choose: 3, 4, 10, 11 plus DE baby facial and Jayjun wask once/week.
I can't follow this. Do you use Retin-A?
It's not recommended to mix salicylic acid with Adapalene (brand name Differin) or any other Retin-A. Your routine has a lot of chemical exfoliation going on for just a night time routine.
