Hi! I just recently started letting my natural nails grow out of the past month. I have had acrylics like 3 times in my life and never do nail polish because I pick it off. I used to bite my nails all the time to "cut" them but have recently stopped because I like the look of longish natural nails. I have also recently started filing them and trying to shape them. I bought a Germanikure nail file and dont hate the feeling of the file anymore. I was wondering if anyone had some helpful tips to properly file your nails or recommendations for videos on YouTube. I dont want to over file my nails and weaken them and would like to even out the shape a little bit. I dont think I can grow my nails out any longer due to clinical rotations starting next week. TIA!:). My current routine is just a sally Hansen top coat like once a week so they are shiny.

Hi everyone! I am so confused and would appreciate any guidance or tips yall have:). Context I am 24 and have had normal-dry skin my whole life. I've never really dealt with oily skin or acne besides like 1 or 2 pimples around my period. I see them forming for like a day or 2 and then they are gone over the course of the next 2-3 days. The pimples are usually sort of big and hurt but nothing cystic. The first 3 photos I took this morning. The 4th is a bunch of acne that showed up on my forehead literally overnight. 5th is my normal skin texture w/ no products 6th was taken almost 2 months ago. Normal routine AM: Cleanser: Tatcha rice wash, Toner: Laneige skin cream, Moisturizer: Tatcha dewy skin cream, Sunscreen: Differn Oil absorbing sun screen. PM routine: Cleanser: La Roche-posay Effaclar Salicylic acid 2% Toner: Laneige skin cream, Moisturizer: Cerave moisturizing cream, Retinol: Adapalene Differn Gel. There is a month in between the photo taken 2 months ago and the 4th photo. During that time I was getting weekly b12 injections to correct a deficiency. I have switched to monthly. I think the injections are the source of my acne/new skin texture. I was wondering if anyone had advice on if I need to change up my routine or how to combat b12 acne. TIA!
