Evelyn Lauder Puns

Yes, I spent an entire year acting like an influencer and saving all my empties.

First, a little bit about me and my skin: I’m in my early thirties with mostly normal skin, more oily in summer and more dry in winter. I’ve had a rollercoaster of a year as far as my skin is concerned. I started the year with nearly acne-free skin that had great texture, even skin tone, I was super happy with it. I was using a prescription tretinoin (0.025%) with clindamycin (1.2%) and getting great results. I felt on top of the world - makeup was fun, skincare was fun, life was fun.

And then in April… I ran out of my prescription. I (stupidly) thought “oh, maybe I don’t need it. Maybe I don’t need to spend $100 on the dermatologist visit and $200 on the prescription. Maybe my skin is just good now.” FALSE. By June I had terrible cystic acne all over my jawline. By July it was also halfway down my neck. I finally did a teladoc appointment in August, and that derm suggested 0.05% tretinoin without the antibiotic. Cool, I’ll try it. I used that until October with zero improvement, in fact my acne got worse. In October I went to an in-person derm and got back on my original tret/clindamycin prescription. Still no improvement by December, so I went back and got a prescription for oral doxycycline. I am starting to see improvement now (praise be), but obviously have a lot of lingering redness, scarring, and discoloration. The toll this has taken on my mental health has been more than I’d like to admit. I know there’s much much worse things to have than acne, but it still really sucks to look in the mirror and hate your own skin. Also cystic acne HURTS.

So… my main skin concerns are the hormonal acne, some lingering melasma, and general congestion (I get a TON of keratin/sebug plugs, the kind that are hard and don’t come out on their own). My skin responds well to both chemical and physical exfoliation, lots of moisture, and most actives. Most fragrances irritate my skin, especially around my eyes. I absolutely cannot tolerate anything with menthol.

My usual routine is:

• AM: swipe face with Stridex pad, wait about 10 min, apply vitamin C serum, SPF
• PM: double cleanse, retinol, hydrating serum, moisturizer, watch TV for about an hour, come back and apply more moisturizer, a sleeping mask, or face oil

Do your worst!

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

They’re on standbi

Pilot on me!!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

I won't be doing that today!

You take away their little brooms

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

There hasn't been a post all year!

Nothing, it just waved

So that I could frequently say, "I am going to walk 5 miles now."

Edit: My most popular post on Reddit! 😀 Thank you for the awards.

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...

Notices there's only 2;

Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."

I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.

I was just sitting there doing nothing.

“BOOM”?!

"That's what they're fighting about."
