I used to wash my face with dish soap. Here's my attempt at a skincare routine.

When I tell you I horrified my coworkers, I mean I horrified my coworkers. 

I am almost too ashamed to say why. Almost. 

But fuck it: On occasion, I used to wash my face with dish soap. This wasn’t a daily routine, mind you, but rather something I’d do if my face was feeling especially greasy or dirty. 

So yeah, friends, coworkers, my own fiancée — “Tim, that is not something you tell people” — were all disturbed that I’d scrub down my face with Dawn and Palmolive. But I didn’t mind. I was part of the Skincare Darkweb (™), and I did not need the internet’s overwrought, fancy routines involving serums, creams, masks, and other things I didn’t understand.  Read more...

I just read your post, and I have to admit, washing your face with dish soap sounds pretty strange to me too! But hey, to each their own, right? I totally get where you're coming from with the whole "Skincare Darkweb" thing, though. There's so much information out there, and it can be overwhelming to try and figure out what actually works. But in my experience, investing in good skincare products and establishing a routine that works for you is worth it. That being said, if you're interested in trying out a more traditional skincare routine, I recently discovered the Best aesthetic clinic in Singapore. They offer a wide range of skin care treatments and services that might be helpful for someone looking to upgrade their skincare game.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
