i use water, bar soap, and moisturizer and thats pretty much it. (and an epilator for hair removal)

it does keep me clean, but my skin is not so smooth. i would enjoy seeing what others around here do, or perhaps resources you find useful as well.

side tangents on nails, hair, etc. are also welcome :)

    for everything I do soap with the scrubby shower thingy (I use liquid soap) and rinse with water, this gets my body and face pretty well

    every morning I wash my face with a cloth before I shave, then after I shave I put a dab of witch hazel. it helps with acne a lot!

    same at night minus the shaving ofc

    if I have a really bad pimple I will put a little patch on it to calm it down and cover it with makeup

    wash your pillowcases!!! it makes a huge difference to the skin on your face :) I try to wash mine once a week or so. might comment under this with nails/hair when I have time <3

      hair!!

      i shower once every 3-4 days unless I’m really gross or just need to decompress :)

      first I make sure my hair is brushed before I get in, this makes it easier to brush during and after

      wet hair fully, rub shampoo all the way through.

      put conditioner in my hands, and rub it into the length of my hair. i don’t condition my bangs or roots, so usually just anywhere that hangs under my chin. most important is to not condition your roots!

      once conditioner is in I brush it a bit to make sure its all on there. let it sit without rinsing while you wash your body

      rinse in the water then squeeze as much water out as you can, brush, then sweeze, then repeat. i usually do this in the water (but none on my hair) cus I’d get cold otherwise lol

      once its dry enough youre done, dont blow dry! especially if your hair is thin

      ive heard dry shampoo can help if it gets greasy on day 2/3 but have never used it so dyor :)
