I've been using serum for around 4 months, and now my hair feels really weak. They fall out even when I just run my hand through them. I think they've lost their strength. I realized I was applying the serum wrong, directly on the scalp before combing. I've stopped using it now, but I'm worried. What can I do to speed up the process of strengthening my hair again?

View allI recently got a facial where the beautician used an O3 plus peel-off mask on my face. Now, I'm breaking out with acne. I'm curious if this mask is considered a mild or deep peel? The ingredients listed are Alginic acid, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Calcium sulphate, Magnesium carbonate, Lavender extract, Di sodium phosphate, Lavender oil, and some perfume. Could any of these be causing my skin to react like this? I'd appreciate any advice on what might be happening with my skin.
The O3 plus peel off mask is considered a mild peel. It contains ingredients like Alginic acid, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Calcium sulfate, magnesium carbonate, lavender extract, Di sodium phosphate, lavender oil, and perfume. To treat the acne developed after the facial, you can use a gentle cleanser containing Salicylic acid to help unclog pores and reduce inflammation. You can also apply a topical treatment containing Benzoyl Peroxide to target the acne directly. Remember to moisturize your skin with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent dryness.

I've noticed a patch of dry skin on my right under thigh, but it's not itchy or causing any discomfort. Could you recommend an ointment for this?
Since there's no itch or discomfort, you can try the following over-the-counter (OTC) ointments: 1. *Moisturizing creams*: Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream, Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream, or CeraVe Moisturizing Cream. 2. *Hydrocortisone cream*: A mild steroid cream like hydrocortisone (0.5-1%) can help reduce inflammation and dryness. 3. *Urea-based creams*: Urea (10-20%) creams, such as Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream or Aquaphor Healing Ointment, can help lock in moisture. 4. *Vaseline*: Petroleum jelly (Vaseline) can provide a protective barrier and help retain moisture. Apply the ointment 2-3 times a day, or as needed. If the patch persists or worsens, consult a doctor or dermatologist for further guidance.
