@Angle Or better yet, tell me if you have any advice for hair or skin care... XD

Vanessa @Vanessa

@Angle I've been experimenting with changing my pillow case every night or two and changing the cloth I use to dry my face a similar frequency. I think it actually helps? It's so hard to be sure because it's not a very scientific process, but my skin does seem to be better at the same time as I'm doing it.

@Vanessa Hmm, I'll try that. What about skin moisturizers or whatever? Are those useful? :/

@Angle my skin is pretty sensitive and kind of freaks out in response to most things, but I use fragrance-free, water-based aveeno moisturizer. I use the stuff marketed as body (as opposed to face specific) moisturizer all over, including my face, right after I shower. I have oily skin and using a bit of moisturizer after a hot shower stops my face from going into overdrive to replace the oil that was washed away. And then I rinse with cold water now and then if my skin is extra oily that day.

@Angle A lot of advice floating around for oily skin in particular involves using toners or other astringent type things, and maybe that's good for some people, but for me it definitely makes me break out.
