Hello. For most of my adult life, I've been overweight and had terrible self-image. For the brief half year I was in good shape, I looked and felt the best I ever have. After gaining the weight back, my self confidence and personal hygiene has declined, and my will to life with both. There is an incredible disconnect between the incredibly high standards I set for myself and the actual situation I find myself in physically and mentally. What I've done so far to rectify this is beginning to exercise again and watching my diet with CICO. My current routine is weightlifting for an hour after work and then running in a sauna suit for an hour after that, doing a HIIT style regimen where I walk for two minutes at 2.5mph and then run for one at 6.0mph, but this is not enough to satisfy me.

Skincare
Currently, my skin is rough and red (flushed) on my arms, and I have spots on my upper arm. My face is slightly better, but somewhat pocked and rough as well. The biggest problem I have face-wise is that whenever I shave clean, no matter what I use, I get razor bumps within two or three days of shaving. Currently I use CeraVe salicylic acid and lotion, nothing else.
Hair Care & Styling
My hair always becomes an issue after growing past a certain length. I've never known what to ask a stylist for, or even how to find a high quality stylist. My hair is naturally wavy and becomes very poofy when it goes dry. I don't even know where to start here.
Fashion & Dress
I went to a private school where we wore uniforms, have never had a social life, and have never felt I "fit in" anywhere, so what to wear, what to buy has always been an issue for me. I hope to find a way to look nice in a way that I myself judge as nice, but I have a hard time finding brands I like that are comfortable and stylish because again, I don't know where to start here. One brand I do like is YoungLA, so I hope to find more brands in that vein.
Diet & Supplementation
I am starting to eat according to the principles of Bioenergetics. Basically, very low/no starch and PUFA, main source of carbs being simple sugars, mainly from fruits. I would also say, contrary to my looks, I have a far better understanding of this than the other things on my list, but my knowledge is still somewhat shallow. I'd like to learn more about different supplements, what possibilities they offer, and how to incorporate them into my lifestyle. I have used injectable BPC-157, TB-500, CJC-1295 DAC, HCG, HGH Fragment 176 - 191, and oral clenbuterol and cardarine with varying success across them.
Teeth Whitening
I would like to learn more about how teeth whitening works so I can do so effectively and quickly. I tried the purple stuff and it didn't really produce any noticeable effects, so I'm definitely looking for recommendations here.
If you've read this far, thank you, and I hope to hear some recommendations on these fronts and look forward to perusing the important threads.
