Had a spot of sunburn persisting on my face so I searched for solutions. Skincare people are intense and passive aggressive nice. Patrick Bateman’s morning routine is noob shit to the dozens of serums and lotions and potions these people use. Whenever somebody posts a selfie to illustrate the issue, the response is “you look cute! It’s unique!…but here’s a list of 27 products to use. Cheapest is $20 for 10 droplets.” The nearest answer for me, this guy wears a red light face mask and uses purples waves. 

Yeah. Think I’ll wait to see if this fades naturally.

Slight update. I bought two items and, unfortunately, they sort of work. But one that’s minerals, I think, burns a bit. Reading the label, it says to spot test and if there’s a negative cosmetic reaction. The actual burning is normal. The other one is an acid somehow doesn’t burn, but makes the spots look dry and caked on. Again, evidently that’s normal. The instructions also state something about a routine and to place certain items ahead of others, water based ones first? You’re meant to layer this stuff on your skin and still wear make up? And eyes are a whole different story. Both have warning to not go near your eye contours. You need lotions for that area. How do women handle all this.

There’s also the application process. One is actually a droplet bottle. Me, a dumbass, tilted my head back and dropped it onto my face before rubbing it in. Apparently you need little cotton pads and you shouldn’t use your bare hands.

Once these are done, I’m going back to my regular routine: a dove soap bar in the shower.
