@baronvonjace honestly i'd say start off small with just a nice gentle face cleanser/soap and then some moisturizer after it. the idea is that the cleanser strips things down, so the moisturizer is really important so your body doesn't panic and make a shitton of oil freaking out because it's so dry. so you cleanse and then kinda immediately give your skin something that it will be happy with, so it doesn't freak out, LOL >

@baronvonjace sure, lemme see what i can find for you!

the fizzy mask is a goopy one so you can just put it on your nose, which is a big plus to me. i don't put it all over my face, but more just the t-zone of where things are getting clogged. https://www.amazon.com/Elizavecca-Milky-Piggy-Carbonated-Bubble/dp/B00MWI2IS0 it comes with its own little spatula thing too which is really nice!

i really like lush's skincare stuff but that's partially because i have INCREDIBLY sensitive skin that really likes it, so... >

@baronvonjace to just slide it in between washing face and putting on moisturizer. i've been using the toner from lush, but the good ol' standby of thayer's witch hazel has been a staple for many years and a lot of folks love it! :>

@baronvonjace my pores are the size of fucken montana (genetics lol, it is what it is) so i think this is also one of the reasons it works well for me. the bubbles can get in there and kinda lift the stuff out.

it's also about 11 bucks on amazon too so that's nice! i use the Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Clay Mask.

if your pores are getting like perma-clogged i would also recommend maybe adding in a toner into your routine! that's also helped me tremendously >

@baronvonjace oh hey a skincare thing i know a bit about

a lot of people love those biore strips but i've always felt they're way too irritating for my face, since, well, it's a sticky thing that also pulls off some top layer of skin cells etc. also they never seem to get the irritating little pores on the nooks and crannies of my nose.

but! i've found a bubbly mask that i've been using for pore cleaning out that i really like. >

did i pause at this part in the story to change classes and glamour completely so that janine could show up in full Warrior of Light mode?

.....y-yeah

alternative punchline for the same joke

i'm sorry, #ffxiv tag, the prequel memes are a bit inevitable (cw'd for spoilers)

even better: YOU CAN SEE HER FRECKLES

ah, the burn, or one of the few places where screenshots are lit well enough to see dark-skinned janine's fucken face,

@pwrmnstr LOL honestly i'm more talking about just regular rping on ffxiv

however honestly i may just be really tired of people treating me as just like... the roleplay machine that is neither owed consideration nor anything in return (such as even the thought of "so is this fun for you too?"), so I AM FAIRLY BITTER AT THIS POINT

me playing #ffxiv ARR through the first time: oh my god why is this livia chick yelling that i've come to take gaius van baelsar from her, like omg i am not INTERESTED you need to calm DOWN

me now seeing shadowhunter's inevitable reveal: ...........ok, ok i, i get it, i, hm, wow, okay, yeah, i see where you were coming from there livia sas junius, sorry, phew,

picture included for photo evidence that he's, phew, wow, dang,

oh my god someone please write Cid's Very Bad No Good Day, wherein the warrior of light just slings shadowhunter at him all "well you took care of nero ok!!!!! have another garlean fuckwit!!!!"

"I FUCKING DEFECTED TO GET AWAY FROM THESE GUYS" cid sobs haplessly,

pictured: calamity "I PUT YOUR ASS IN THE GROUND ONCE I CAN DO IT AGAIN" janine

cw'd for spoilers for #ffxiv yes i'm just now catching up don't at me

WELL! WE KNOW WHAT PERK GAIUS VAN BAELSAR TOOK HUH

@madness aw i think Cthulhu's found that optimistic nihilism folks

incidentally, if any of y'all out there use a cpap that covers your mouth, or have a dental appliance for sleep apnea that means you can't lick your lips in your sleep, or a retainer or something -

the laneige lip sleeping mask is worth the splurge, one hundred percent

it's creamy, not sticky, sinks into your lips, yet also lasts all night without just sitting on top feeling gross like vaseline. it like... actually does shit to improve your lips. 10/10 get you some.
