Ok, here's where I'm copying for notes and extra comments. I realized I overlapped the days in the last post, but you get the drift. I can't edit my first post anymore.

I'm blocking dht because I have had some hair loss and a few facial hairs and nipple hairs. I've been taking saw palmetto for awhile before nbe. It has helped with the hair loss, not the few dark, longer hairs on face and nips I have to pluck. I am regrowing hair on my head that was lost.

Massage Daily 1x

300 inward circles, flaxseed oil & peppermint oil (and/or lavendar, fennel, carrot seed, rosehip oil for added benefits of nutritients) with fingertips, my leftie is slightly smaller so I will probably do 50-100 less rotations on my rightie (peppermint oil aids circulation, increases absorption, and blocks dht)

Also for general skin health of breast and body I'll be dry brushing 2-3 times a week and using lotion with retinol 2-3 times per week. I plan to get a vit c serum or lotion in the future. Otherwise I'll use shea butter (lots of nutrition). I also use a cool mist vaporizer in winter. I have been using red/blue/green light therapy on my face with good results. When I can find time to add to my routine I'd like to use red/green light on my breasts and butt too. This boosts collagen production and breaks down excess melanin, good for anti-aging. I bought a derma roller but won't be using it yet. I'd like to see what results the dry brushing, light therapy, and retinol lotion have on my skin health and my very old stretch marks on my bottom and breasts from puberty and pregnancies. The stretch marks there are thin and white. I have stretchies on my lower belly too but I doubt they will improve much. There aren't many on my stomach but they are the very wide type of scar, like 1/2 inch to 1 inch wide and between 1 inch and 4 inches long. I'm gonna try anyway! I'll let you ladies know if I see any improvement. The derma roller is supposed to be good for collagen production but I'll admit I'm kinda scared of it! I'll probably try a small patch on my thigh or hip first when I introduce it. I have tiny stretch marks there. I'd hate to do a big area like my bum and suffer bad results, like additional scarring or something. My husband's a bum man, gotta protect that asset.

I'm experimenting using a lotion with urea (made for feet exfoliation, lol) on my nipples to aid fresh new cells. After one application nipples are brighter and lighter, look healthier. My nipples are dark from pregnancies, breastfeeeding, and age.
