I'd talk to the other two people first. Maybe say something about how you want to come up with a timeline and division of responsibilities so that you all can finish the project on time.

few questions.. do you only wash your face once a day? also, did you use moisturizer? what kind of alcohol did you use, rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle?

i'm thinking of trying your regimen inshallah as well as adding a weekly at-home clay mint julep facial iA. thanks

I hate covering for my stupid siblings, especially when they're just so stupid and clearly haven't thought their stupid, stupid plans through.
Ugh. Especially when there's no reason to be dishonest in the first place. Very inconsiderate.

I'm thinking of just telling on them.

i wash my face in the morning and at night...and yea its rubbing alcohol... i don't usually use moisturizer because my face gets oily even if i use oil-control/oil-free stuff. oh also, i wash my face with really hot water first to get my pores open, and then splash cold water to close up the pores once i'm done washing. i also don't use towels to dry my face. too many germs on towels and i'm a germaphobe. i pat it dry with kleenex.

in other news.. i have been up since 4am. i won't be sleeping till 1am tonight. then up again at the buttcrack of dawn to catch my flight. but i really don't care. i'm going to make the most of my break. if that means no sleep then so be it! i'm finally getting a chance to hang out with my friends/old-roommates. we're having a mini-reunion late tonight... and then a mini-slumber party sleepover thing. probably kick the husband out and onto the couch.

You're welcome sumi Glad it's working out for ya.

Retinoids and me don't go. I wish I could some tazorac on it but ya, that stuff makes my face explode. Going to the derm tomorrow to get my rx alhamdulillah though it's gotten a lot better anyway... such is life. Allah tests us in different ways.

sumiyia, is your face still oily? i used to have reeeally oily skin. my derm told me that one of the reasons my skin was oily was because i'd leave it sooo dry after i washed it that it would oil up to compensate for the dryness.

alh alh alh, ever since accutane i've moisturized after i wash my face and alh alh alh my skin is no longer oily. accutane really changes your skin, however. have you ever tried using a light moisturizer (and no, none of the oil-control/oil-free stuff... just a normal light moisturizer).

but of course, if you have a regime that's working for you: alhumdulillah! stick to it just a suggestion if thing start to head south (naoodubillah)
