bandit king of lunch and string

Ive never done one, except for the super mild exfoliating products for my acne scars - and the products i used are about 2 to 5% of a bunch of different acids, like salicylic or glycolic, and if I used it more than once or twice a week my skin got super sensitive. Some dermatologist grade peels get to as much as a fifty percent concentration, and come with a giant list of aftercare steps. The idea is to literally burn off the first layer of skin, where the scars/acne/sun spots/hyperpigmentation/whatever complaint are, so that new skin can grow on top of that. In lower concentrations it just sort of... dissolves the first layers of dead cells so that pores dont clog as often and stuff like that.

The one person I knew of who did a strong peel like that had pretty bad cystic acne, and it was effective, but she also needed two weeks of basically diaper rash cream/industrial grade moisturizer for the face three times a day, a month of wearing a large brim hat, and like six months of very high SPF sunscreen because her skin got very sensitive.

 

Nthing the Log Horizon rec, and you might like Girls Und Panzer? It's (from what I recall, it's been a while since I watched it) a school anime where the kids all live on ships for Reasons which are never really explained, and one of the competitive school sports is tankery. Literally, girls team together and fight in tanks.

 

i mean for me coffee grounds and coffee-containing tonics help somewhat bc it does do Something when applied topically but it sure does not reduce redness lmao you want rose or lavender or chamomile for that usually, bc these all have soothing properties
(I occassionally use coffee grounds as a combination peeling and skin tightener on my cellulite-wrecked thighs which is an exercise in futility given my connective tissue is Barely Functioning At All but an enby can dream.........)

 

The way it works best according to my readin/experience: if you can, shave in the shower (get a fogless mirror for face shaving) and use conditioner (like for hair) for a skin lubricant, not shave cream. Exfoliate to whatever level works best for your skin (I like really mild sugar scrubs because I can make them at home for cheap and experiment with ingredients) then pat dry once you're out of shower and moisturize.

 

From what I know scrubs/physical exfoliators are good enough for shaving-acne, yeah! You could use a mild chemical exfoliator/peel if you had any hyperpigmentation from that that was bothering you too much, but it's not usually necessary to solve the problem.

 

It should be good if it's a very soft cloth! Face skin is more delicate and can get scratched and irritated, so it depends on how thick it is. If that happens you can either try a honey and sugar scrub before shaving (scrub, wash, shave) or some kind of specific pre-shaving facial soap; now that grooming is getting popular you can probably find something in the pharmacy.

 

it miight but i might not? Take with a grain of salt, I use sugar scrubs which are up there in roughness. Otoh i can give you a recipe you can literally mix up in your kitchen.

 

Highly recommend a fine muslin cloth for very gentle exfoliation of face. They dry quicker than cotton terry cloths and need less pressure to be effective, IME.

 

Tends to work for me, and my face resembles the before-shot in one of those commercials for moisturizer if I don't regularly scrub and exfoliate when I'm stressed. I tend to go for whatever's available for scrubbing, too, so bar soap has worked just as well in my experience as anything else.

 

Reminds me of Dexter, I'd read it

 

A Canadian man did just that, actually.

Eta the luring, his victims were unsuspecting

 

That might be a point in favor of "murder mystery." You could get a pretty interesting investigation out of the cops having to track down the serial killer mostly via the stumbles of their much less competent would-be murdercreep victims.

 

Pretended to be a woman on dating sites and lured victims to try to kill them.
