Dear Internet Friends (and Perverted Strangers Who Googled Something Nasty and Somehow Ended Up At This Blog):
I have a couple of weird questions that I need to get off my chest. First up - let's say you had just longer-than-shoulder-length-hair, how often would you brush it? My hair has started doing this whole "I look like Enna slept in a box over a sewer grate" stringy weird homeless looking thing lately, and I have no idea what is up with that.
I haven't had long hair in awhile, well, not since grunge went out of style, so help me out Internet Peeps, how much brushing should I be doing? Is there a specific type of brush I should be using?
Second question, also beauty related - I am very suddenly getting acne in one small strip of my face. I have never had acne before (yes, yes, hate me, that's fine.) and I have more little red bumps in this one area of my face than I did the entire time I was a teenager.
Has anyone else experienced this? What is causing this? I am already washing my pillow cases and not picking at anything even though I REALLY REALLY WANT TO OH MY GOSH IS IT KILLING ME NOT TO PICK.
So, I used Eric's acne body wash with exfoliating beads on my face (he uses it because it smells good, not because he is coated in zits or anything.) (Normally I use Cetaphil, but apparently that ain't cutting it) Then I used some astringent, and then I put on a water-based moisturizer. Is there anything else I should be doing? I have dry skin so I kinda need to keep using the moisturizer, though I did stop using the olive oil I normally use on my skin. Maybe it isn't moist enough, and is now rebelling against me. WHO KNOWS - I surely don't. So if you have any ideas for me, I am all ears (and acne, apparently.)
Thanks!
PS This post makes me sound like the dirtiest girl on the face of the planet.

ReplyDeleteAnd put on NHL network or porn.
Now I'm ready to help.
1a) When's the last time you got a trim? I ask as my long hair gets all misbehavin' when the ends get fried (despite my aversion to blow drying).
1b) Also, I swear by Vidal Sasson's (vavavava Sassoon!) Answers Line :http://www.vsanswers.com/
I have FINE thick hair and these brushes etc are awesome.
Got mine at Ulta.
More than I normally pay, but there's 100% difference.
1c) When's the last time you washed your hairbrush?
Dirty brushes= naughty hair.
(ah crap, probably got in the spam catcher for saying "naughty")
2a) As for the bumps, can't help you there, I've had the same set of blackheads on my nose since 1993.
2b) Are said dots around your chin/ear? Are you spending a lot of time on the phone at work? Phones harbor icky spot causing stuff... try wiping said phone down with a Lysol wipe.
2c) Are you leaning your face on your hand when you're having downtime? Is that where the bumps are?
okay, now give that cute co-worker a hug... massage her back... yeeeahhhh.
i would answer the brush question... but we had the "charlotte knows what brushes are but doesnt ever use them" talk last night.
ReplyDeleteas for your face. whenever i get any sort of anything on my face, i use clean adn clears blackhead something or other scrub... its in a blue bottle, and seriously, ive never felt like my skin was more clean in my life. it makes me feel like my pores and skin could light up the world they are so clean and smooth and AMAZING. and it cleans up any sort bumps or nonsense within a few days. total win.
Ok, so I got a trim, and washed my brush, and then this morning my hair looks like 1000x better. So, apparently never, ever washing your hairbrush is a bad idea.
ReplyDeleteAnd LMAO at "now give that cute co-worker a hug… massage her back… yeeeahhhh." YESSSSS!
So far, Eric's body wash is doing the trick (I know, wth?) and now all I have are little red marks where the strange zit-things were. So, for the time being, I will keep with this plan.
ReplyDeleteI also sanitized every phone I come in contact with. AND EWWWW THE DIRT I GOT OFF OF THOSE!
I am going to do my normal sugar mixed with Cetaphil scrub that I normally do on Saturdays/Sundays. Yeah, I have a scrubbing schedule, and you know what that means, right?
