    Whoa, Gatsby. How on earth did you find that?

    I often think denim jackets could work, if you pair them with right stuff. You could never, ever, ever wear a denim jacket with jeans, unless maybe the denim jacket is blue and the jeans are not blue.

    My Dad owned an old Levis denim jacket that is cut very similarly to that. It's something like 40 years old, and I think my sister has it somewhere.

    Cause most denim jackets aren't that colour.

    Honestly in those photos I think he looks good despite the denim jacket. Like, I don't think it's a good look at all but he still looks good. Because dude could make wearing a garbage bag look good.

    Yeah, I think I'm giving up on that new skin care routine. Three weeks in and my face is possibly the worst it's ever been.

    I think I'm just destined to have shit skin.

    what routine were you trying?
    I went from using a face wash on days when I remembered, to using face wash, toner and moisturiser every evening.

    all are the same brand - Simple. Which is supposedly designed for sensitive skin. I don't know if I have sensitive skin but I figured why risk it.

    I used to get a lot of spots around my mouth/chin. Now I'm breaking out everywhere, particularly my forehead.

    I dunno what to do. If it's a case of finding the right products, man there are just too many to choose from and I am going to end up spending a ton to figure it out.

    Simple is actually exactly the same product line I started with when I began to have a routine at all!

    I stopped using Simple for two reasons - the moisturiser was pretty crap (in my opinion), and the cleanser contained SLS (which is ironic because I only recently found out that something I *do* use also has SLS in it, but I don't seem to be reacting to it). But it could also be that you could be breaking out because the products aren't strong enough (i.e., cleanser doesn't cleanse as well because it's for sensitive skin) or because they're not the right type for you. The moisturiser in that line of products is really goopy and wet. They may have added a richer moisturiser since then, though.

    There are lots to choose from, for sure, and it's definitely intimidating. One thing to do might be to try and suss out your skintype - that does half the job for you. Sensitive? Dry/Oily/Combination? etc

    If you're not sure how to figure it out yourself, you can always ask a beauty therapist for their opinion. I have a really simple guide on my blog: http://vivixenne.tumblr.com/post/6342277918/what-i-know-about-my-skin (at the very bottom) ... but it's really just a guide.

    From there you can consider how much you want to spend, and we can provide suggestions depending on your price range and skintype!

    I think I have oily skin. It does get dry sometimes, in winter mostly, but only really on my cheeks.

    This is the moisturiser I'm using. I chose it specifically because it is supposed to be okay for oily skin. One I was using before (only occasionally, whenever my skin actually looked dry) was making it feel greasy. I quite like how this one makes my skin feel.

    As for the not clean enough thing, that kind of makes sense except surely what I'm doing now must be making my skin cleaner than doing nothing at all?

    Edit: okay having actually read that link, I think I have oily or combination skin. My pores are huge, especially on my chin, forehead and either side of my nose. I definitely have drier skin on my jawline and cheeks but not very dry.

    try a different cleanser if the moisturiser is working well - it's unlikely to be the toner that's causing problems given that the Simple ones don't have added alcohol

    there's a lot of hate out there for Cetaphil, which is fair enough since it contains SLS, but it's what I've been using for my sensitive/combination skin

    if you don't have sensitive skin you have the option to be a bit more adventurous

    great drugstore brands are Yes to Carrots/Tomatoes/Cucumbers and CeraVe and Aveeno, and I know @Usagi swears by the Body Shop's Nutriganics Gel Cleanser

    the Dove cleansing bar also gets lots of good reviews

    What's the issue with SLS?

    I have another cleanser which I have only used rarely, I'll switch to that for my daily and see if it makes any difference. But it contains SLS like the Simple one so maybe that's a bad idea?

    My only requirements when I've picked things before is no alcohol, and ideally designed for oily skin. I don't know what any of the other features or ingredients mean.

  • VixxVixx Valkyrie: prepared! Registered User regular
    there isn't technically an issue with SLS - it's a foaming agent and you find it in tons of things, and online bloggers love to shit on it because it's a chemical! that's also found in household cleaners! gasp! that in and of itself doesn't make it terrible, but it's a well-known irritant for folks with sensitive skin

    my face-skin seems able to tolerate it but my scalp doesn't; any shampoos with SLS will cause it to flake and itch like crazy

    if you're not sensitive, though, then you don't have to worry too much

    if you like, to be safe, you can go non-SLS for now

    but while it can cause irritation, it's unlikely to cause breakouts, so it may not be the SLS that your skin is unhappy with

    what you can do is change out just the cleanser first, to see if that makes a difference... if not, then we can look at the toner or moisturiser

    but I do agree that three weeks is plenty of time for your skin to settle down after a change in regime, so there's definitely something your skin is grumpy about

    Ok. Will switch the cleanser for a couple of weeks and see how it goes.

    Thanks for your help Viv, you're aces :)

    Went to Nordstrom and got some new bras on Sunday, but the woman who was helping me was really weird. She was really...hands on in helping me and it made me very uncomfortable. Usually the most touching I have to deal with is when they do the initial measurements and then maybe helping me adjust a strap once it's actually on.

    But Jesus. I do not need your help every step of the way and please stop making such loud comments. I don't think I'll go to that Nordstrom again just to avoid that saleswoman.

    Funny you should say that because I've had to stop using Cetaphil :(

    I still love the Nutriganics cleanser, but my go-to of late has been a Basis bar and it's been a life/skin changer

    SLS sensitivities can happen when you don't have otherwise sensitive skin. Like, I can usually throw whatever at my skin, and it's fine. I've only had product-related breakouts a couple of times ever. But sodium lauryl sulfate irritates the shit out of my skin. I can't even buy toothpaste with it in, because it makes the corners of my mouth crack and bleed.

    Also, smof, maybe introduce some sort of anti-acne step in your face routine? Sometimes that's too much for some people's skin, but I personally have to use something for maintenance and sometimes something to nuke it from orbit. Salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide are the two most commonly found anti-acne ingredients, though sulfur is pretty popular these days. I've just switched to a face wash with triclosan and it seems to be helping a bit with this breakout from hell.

    No, but it was also because I was shopping with my mother who had already helped her. My mother kept talking about how helpful the woman was (while she was helping me and my mother was sitting outside.) So I thought that she must have done the same thing to my mother and assumed I wanted her to do the same thing.

    But when we were leaving the store I asked my mother about it and apparently she didn't do anything like that at all. And the woman never said anything unkind, but I just felt really uncomfortable with myself afterwards. I wanted to go for a jog and go on a diet.

    for sure

    oxfords and their ilk can definitely work with nice jeans and even a tee

    it would depend on the jeans and tee, though. What does your casual attire generally consist of?
