HAVE A QUESTION? ASK HERE! Alter-Daily Help and Questions: April 19, 2024

Hello and welcome to the Alter-Daily Help Thread! The purpose of the ADHT is to ask simple questions, troubleshoot routines, get quick recommendations, prevent the sub from being too cluttered, and to guide new users.

# ADHT Rules: If questions or comments break the rules or are inappropriate, the report button is the fastest way for the mod team to see it and address the problems.

**Build Me A Routine,** [**/r/AsianBeauty**](https://www.reddit.com/r/AsianBeauty)**!** Please refrain from just stating a skin concern then expecting people to build a routine from scratch. It is important to do due diligence in understanding your skin type and needs. Learn more here in [The New User Guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/AsianBeauty/wiki/new_user_guide). You can also [search the subreddit here](https://www.reddit.com/r/AsianBeauty/search?q=search+here&restrict_sr=on&include_over_18=on&sort=relevance&t=all).

**Non-AB questions or comments.** Having non-AB products in your routine is totally fine! Getting specific advice/recommendations is not allowed, though welcomed in our Daily Anything Goes thread. See our rules on [non-AB here](https://www.reddit.com/r/AsianBeauty/wiki/rules#wiki_14._topics.2C_routines.2C_and_recommendations_must_be_related_to_asian_beauty)

**Rude comments and snark.** Fairly self explanatory but for more detail, check out our [Posting Guidelines](https://www.reddit.com/r/AsianBeauty/wiki/postguidelines)

**When directing someone to the sidebar** provide specific links. i.e. for someone asking about Allergies or Beginner Guides, link them to the specific subsections within AB University, rather than saying *it’s in the sidebar.*

**Finally, a reminder that no one is obligated to answer your questions.** If you have repeatedly asked the same question without a response, it may be best to review and see if it can be reworded or if the information is already in the thread or readily available in the sidebar materials.

**Remember that all skincare is individual and Your Mileage May Vary with recommendations. We are enthusiasts, not doctors, and we cannot provide you with medical advice. Speak to a medical professional if your skin concerns are affecting your well-being.**
