Edit: Thanks for the gold! I figured since I looked it up and found it, someone else may like the convenience too.
Let me change your life!!! Hop on Amazon and search “Italy cloth”. $4.38 for an 8 pack of these miraculous exfoliating washcloths!
I’ve had KP since I was a kid and I tried everything. Since I found out about these the skin on my arms, thighs, and butt is so much smoother and even.
Shower with warm water, and after a few minutes start gently scrubbing your entire body and watch as your dead skin rolls off. Rinse well and cry about how smooth your body feels and embrace your new life as a baby dolphin.

3 for $20+ on amazon with just over 2 stars, if that's not a deal.

You can get bath overflow drain covers to increase the height of the drain. I have that exact one and it works great. The water level stays high and the water seems to stay warmer for longer.

I absolutely love these little wash cloths. You take a hot bath or shower then firmly wipe down your arms and legs in strokes. The dead skin and buildup comes right off, kinda gross but really satisfying in a weird way. It leaves your skin super smooth and soft days after.
I've got a ridiculous, meticulous self tanning routine that involves a lot of this.
I use these Korean Italy Towels to exfoliate, making sure to focus on all of my problem areas (elbows, knees, ankles, knuckles, wrists, toes, right under my boobs, neck) that seem to hoard dead skin. I also shave beforehand.
Then I put a light layer of lotion (one that doesn't contain any oil) on the bottom of my feet, toes, ankles, knees, belly button, elbows, crease of arm pit, wrists, and any scratches I have.
THEN I use this blending balm and put a light layer on my knees, elbows, wrists, and ankles.
THEN I put on some latex gloves and use a nice tanning mitt like this one. Not all tanning mitts are created equal.
I start from the bottom half of my legs and work my way up with the actual tanning. Working from the bottom up ensures you aren't splotching your tan by bending over and hitting your chest to your legs. I use the mitt with whatever type of tan product I'm using -- spray, mousse, lotion, whatever. I spread in a circular motion, making sure there aren't any streaks or splotches. I make sure I bend my knees and wipe them while they're bent so that the product gets into my knee wrinkles.
Once I'm done applying, I take one latex glove off and wipe that hand. then I take the other off and wipe the other hand. Then I use the blending balm and put a little more on my toes, knees, elbows, wrists, and fingers and rub those areas in with one of the latex gloves so that my fingers don't get orange. Then I carefully wash my palms with a little bit of water and then put some lotion on my palms and carefully rub them together.
It's a PROCESS, but I never look weird and I've never splotched or looked orange. Also, for reference, I'm as white as white can be.
My favorite tanners so far are Fake Bake Flawless, St Tropez, Sun Laboratories dark lotion (smells the nicest), and this random self tanner mousse from Sally's Beauty Supply from the brand Tanwise.
You're welcome
I've had KP since I was a kid and am finally getting handle on it in my 30s. My current routine is glycolic lotion twice a day, creams on the affected areas 3-4 times a day, and then physical exfoliation and using zinc or sulfur soap a couple times a week to keep the bumps at bay. But since skincare is YMMV, here's the exhaustive list of almost two decades of treatment, in case some of these other things will work for you!
100% of the items can be purchased via Amazon in the US - it's pretty much the only way I shop.
Beginner Level
If your KP has just appeared, focus on physical+chemical exfoliation and moisturizing. Look for lotions with the following ingredients:
Paula's Choice and Derma Doctor's KP duty both work well because they combine a few of these, but you can also get Amlactin, Eucerin and Glytone which are more focused on a single ingredient. Nearly all of the Eucering, Gold Bond, Cetaphil, etc. creams that work have one of the above ingredients, so take a look at the back of the bottle or on CosDna to figure out what works best for you. Prescription creams include Carmol 40 and Ammonium Lactate in higher concentrations.
Physical exfoliation includes:
My dermatologist also recommended moisturizing CONSTANTLY, which really helped smoothe my arms. According to his instructions, "constantly" meant that I needed to be able to feel the lotion on my skin 24/7 for at least 3 weeks, which for me meant a new layer of cream every hour or two. Pretty much any moisturizing lotion or cream will do. I'm partial to [CeraVe Moisturizing Cream] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013GDK3SQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) (creams are less watered down than lotions, and this one drys down wonderfully, leaveing my skin feeling buttery but not sticky). Lush dream cream and Aveeno are also faves.
Intermediate Level
If a bit of exfoliation and moisture aren't working, you might want to consider if there are other skin conditions making your KP worse. For example, it turned out for me I had some fungal skin issues that made my KP bumps more inflamed. Topical steroids can help, but use with care as they can cause skin thinning. Try adding something with the following ingredients in to see if any of the following work. Also talk with your derm about getting a mild prescription treatment that might include an antibacterial or steroid component.
As others have mentioned, sunlight also helps. Either give yourself 15 minutes of sun a day or look into UV treatments.
Finally, consider dietary factors – for me cutting out dairy, sugar, and gluten when I really want crystal clear skin makes a big difference. Adding healthy oils and fats to your diet can also improve skin quality.
Advanced Level
I not only have KP, but years of scarring and redness (Post Inflammatory Erythema, or PIE) from picking at the bumps when I was younger. Laser treatments have almost 100% gotten rid of this and made my arms the smoothest and clearest they've been in almost two decades. However, these are pricey (for me, ~$200 a treatment and it took 4) and a serious time commitment. But if nothing else works, consider it.
Other Tips
Get yourself one of these.

I even get my shoulders in sometimes.

These are awesome
The good:
your eyes are very good, well done with the colour transition, the wings are the perfect thickness and lenght - you are lucky to have very open eyes. I also like the purple under.
Your eyebrows have a good shape
I think the foundation colour matches you well
The bad:
As pointed the others: your foundation. I think the problem starts with the fact that your skin has a lot of texture. I used to have exactly the same skin as you and what helped me was physical exfoliation, I use exactly those https://www.amazon.co.uk/Korean-Italy-Towel-Exfoliating-Washcloth/dp/B00LGLOKLM Korean Italian towels. They make my skin very smooth and get rid of the dead skin, therefore I break-out less.
Secondly, I also think you have a dry skin. At first glance your skin looks oily but I think it is because dry skin tends to overproduce oil (since it is starved of it), therefore making it super oily after few hours.
The foundation itself is a bit too thick, my trick with foundation is to avoid putting any above my lips (it never looks good unless photoshopped) and less on my nose, forehead and under my eyes / nos bridge. This way you can still put loads on your cheeks and around your chin without looking 'too much'.
I think it would have been really good if you used powder on a top of your foundation - it gives your skin a cleaner and more matte look, getting rid of shiness coming from oily foundation. I think aloso a tiny bit of blush / bronzer on your cheeks, nose and forehead would have been perfect!
Lastly, your eyebrows. They are a very good shape, you you have that. However I think you should try to make them more subtle. Try not to draw your eyebrows and fill it 100%, but accent them. Make them a bit more natural
This looks about right (link): https://www.amazon.com/Bloody-Bath-Mat-Footprints-420x1000mm/dp/B075MXFGWD
Found an actual white bath mat you can buy that does turn red when water gets on it.
Also, Italy towels! These aren't for your face, but damn do they make your body soft. My KP has been resolved using nothing more than weekly Italy towels and some Kikumasamune.
They're about $1, they last for maybe 4-6 weeks until they soften up too much to be effective. The pink is the gentlest, the green is medium, and the yellow is for scrubbing rust off your BBQ.

Hahaha oh my god my sides! The mental image of that is the best thing I have heard all week.
Edit: omfg it exists and it's better than I could have ever hoped.
i thought it was like one of those bath mats that turn bloody red when it gets wet
Use this. Throw it in the washing machine after you are done so that bacteria doesn't grow on it (like on a loofah).
I use these Korean bath towels, since I find them really efficient for exfoliating. This would be after I have shampoo'd and rinsed my hair, and leave in my conditioner. By then, the steam should have loosened the dead skin off so that a few swipes remove my dead skin. Otherwise, I use standard Western body wash.
http://www.amazon.com/pcs-Asian-Exfoliating-Bath-Washcloth/dp/B004C8DR1U
So since these things are all over Amazon, I figured I'd review the one I got.
It was packaged really well; in sealed shrinkwrap, baby bubble wrap, big bubble wrap, and then in a nice form-fitting box. So even though the dimensions are listed, and I have a tape measure, I have to say it seems so small in person! But my entire makeup collection fit (except for some of the palettes that were too tall to fit in the palette holder, which is fine since I ran out of slots anyway).
The boxes are not connected, so you can organize them however you want, including the top part (with the foundations in it). Also, each cubby can accommodate either one big drawer or three small drawers, so you can mix and match those too. Each box has two cubbies, for either two large drawer, six small drawers, or half and half, and the boxes have little rubber feeties on the bottom so that they don't scuff each other, or the shelf you store them on. They also came with pre-cut black mesh liners, which I thought was nice (I can take a picture of one if you'd like to see).
If anyone is thinking about buying one of these and would like to see specific pictures of any part, let me know! There are a ton of sellers, but I tried to pick one with a bunch of reviews (that fakespot didn't flag as suspicious). Overall I'm really pleased with it! I was concerned with the size at first, but it's compact and efficient; I actually didn't end up using one of the small drawers, and several of them are sparsely packed.
Yup. These are the best thing ever. I use them everyday.

[Here’s the link to it on Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LGLOKLM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_r00-zb6KFEHK0)
Looks like it comes in a larger size too. I’m going to trust you, OP, so I just ordered a pack! :)

These are a flimsier plastic than some of the other organizers here. But they do serve their purpose. They have little handles which makes it easy to remove them from the lower shelves of my vanity. They are 12" long which makes them too long to fit the short way on my cart.
Overall would mostly likely repurchase
https://www.amazon.com/STORi-Clear-Plastic-Organizer-5-Compartments/dp/B001B11ZV0/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?keywords=stori+5+compartment+organizer&qid=1566731411&s=gateway&sr=8-2
This is a nice heavy duty plastic. It is fairly tall which I like for my foundation bottles, primer bottles, and taller makeup items. It helps them not to tip or rattle around.
Would repurchase.
https://www.amazon.com/Vencer-Acrylic-Compact-Organizer-Powders/dp/B01AEBVRZ6/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=vencer+acrylic+makeup+organizer&qid=1566731366&s=gateway&sprefix=vencer&sr=8-3
These are a heavy duty plastic. Some of my compacts are too wide or too tall to fit. For example my Hourglass powders have to go in corner first. And my Bare Minerals powders don't fit at all.
Would repurchase.

This is a basic palette organizer. Not super sturdy but it serves its purpose. My thickest palette is a PM mothership, thinnest would be a Viseart.
Both sit nicely.
Would repurchase.

This is a sturdy brush/pencil holder. I have face brushes, then pencils, then eye brushes. It doesn't seem like it would tip easily, however, it feels crowded. Like the pencils and brushes lean into the other compartments. I would look around for separate cups next time.
The lipstick holders I previously had. There are so many on the market and they seem to be all the same for the most part. I would probably consider getting a gloss one too which helps the taller tubes not to tip.
My favorite thing tho....the clear Mac bullet top. 10/10 for sure!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my sister early on, and it's so very hard to be pregnant and grieving. For the first week or so, everything will taste like ashes. Try to eat some crackers, broth, chicken noodle soup, pretzel sticks, things like that. Keep it bland and easy to digest. Drink some Powerade or Pedialyte, too. Babies are resilient, and your body will keep what it needs.
I felt a lot of guilt about grieving during pregnancy because I didn't want my baby to feel the stress and depression. I had to give myself permission to feel what I felt, though, because keeping it in only made it worse. Keep in mind that people post silly "today I cried because..." things all the time. You have a legitimate reason to cry. If other people are crying because their partner ate the last Reese's cup, you can cry because you lost your mother. I roll my eyes at all of those posts, but they help me to remember that no one goes through pregnancy feeling all sunny and cheery 100% of the time.
Take baths. I've never been a bath person, but I started taking them when someone sent me a lavender bath thing and reminded me to take care of myself. It makes a world of difference to soak for a while. I usually talk to the baby when I'm in the bath, too. I got a Deep Water Bath thing, and it makes them really nice. It's a good way to chill as much as you can.
In a week or two, contact your local Hospice program to see if they have grief counselors. Hospice programs usually offer free bereavement counseling, regardless of if your mother was in hospice or not. My grief counselor is also a general counselor, so if I need help with postpartum depression, I have someone that I already have a good relationship with.
Go on walks once you're up to it. Make it a point to go outside every day.
Once you get through this week, start a journal, and write down some joyful memories you have with your mother. Write about your sorrow, anger, and anything else that comes up, too. Write a letter to your baby, telling her some of your mother's best traits. I don't know if you're a Christian or not, but if you are, the GriefShare program really helped me come to terms with my grief and find joy again. Hospice programs also offer secular grief support groups.
I think of this time as Mary's (my sister's) time with the baby. She and the baby are hanging out in the before- and after- life. Mary's teaching the baby how to manipulate me to get her way, making her horse crazy, and teaching her all sorts of silly and sweet things. I'd rather have Mary here, but I know that my baby will have a heck of a guardian angel, and so will yours.
I'm so very sorry you're going through this. If you don't mind a fellow bumper/griever PM-ing you, I'm going to get back in touch with you in a couple of weeks to send you a care package.
I'm sending you and your family love, thoughts, and prayers.
I looooove baths. I take a long (+1 hour) bath at least once and usually twice a week. I use bath bombs, a bit of an oil (coconut or sweet almond), and I use this thing so I can fill the tub really full. Honestly that has been the biggest game changer.
i’m currently dealing with this as well! i’ve received some advice through this subreddit that’s helped a bit that i’ll list below but def keeping an eye on this thread just in case there’s anything else that helps!
so what you’re dealing with is probably keratosis pilaris (same as i). at first i was going to buy first aid beauty’s ultra repair cream to smooth my skin, but then someone mentioned gold bond’s ultimate rough & bumpy skin cream and it’s been working wonders. FAB’s product is $32 vs gold bond’s $10 product and i have no complaints so far.
what i do is use a dry brush 2-3x a week before i shower to exfoliate my skin then in the shower i’ll also use a cloth with my body wash that helps with exfoliating even more. once out i apply the gold bond cream on my trouble areas and let dry.
hope this helps out!

Or, a trio of Salux cloths for under $12 that can be machine washed and are so obscenely big you can cut them in half and they're totally still usable. Fantastic for both home use and travel. I've had mine for almost 4 years.

Shower normally with hot water; this will soften the hair. I generally shave only at the end of a shower as other products might clog my pores.
Exfoliate; this will remove dead skin and dirt, which will help keep it from clogging the razor, promote the release of any ingrown hairs, and further soften the hair.
Lather with a moisturizing shaving soap or if you run out of shaving specific products, hair conditioner works in a bind. Let lather sit for a minute or two; it will further soften the hair.
Starting from the base of your ankle, shave in short strokes (maybe 3-4 inches) upwards against the grain, rotating around your leg; longer strokes evidently can clog the razor faster.
Rinse the blade after every rotation; not rinsing will force you to take multiple passes, and that is something you want to avoid.
The backs of the legs takes practice. I contort myself so I can see for the most part. Calfs are easy to see, but hamstrings are not. If you cannot contort yourself, lift your knee to your shoulder so you can see your hamstrings and shave downwards against the grain from the knee to the butt.
Go slow. A woman's legs are one of her best assets; take care of them.
Do not neglect your toes, thighs, arm pits and knuckles. Arm hair is optional, but even ciswomen can have hairy arms and not give a shit.
Rinse with cold water; as cold as you can possibly endure. This will snap shut your pores and help mitigate bacterial invasions. It helps stops razor bumps, ingrown hairs and acne.
Pat dry with a clean towel; never rub dry because you will exacerbate any micro cuts and make them worse.
Moisturize wherever the blade touched you. Even pros get get micro cuts, so you might want to invest in a medicated moisturizer.
The reward for being diligent?
Rub your freshly shaved legs together; it feels like heaven. It's really quite addicting.

Have you heard of Salux? That's what I use after having read about it on reddit somewhere. i bought mine from these guys specifically: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007IAE5WY
People with eczema and all sorts of skin problems were saying it was a godsend, so I nabbed it. I'm not a big fan of Nylon in the least and it doesn't feel great like them soft poofy shits you can get at target, but my skin does look incredible. I'm not ashy ever, either, which is nuts cos i'm always ashy.

/u/stopwalmart replied to your comment, but I'm guessing he didn't know how. Here is the link he included.
YUP. I treated myself recently to one of those bath pillows/headrests, some epsom salts, and this overflow drain cover that gives me an extra 2in or so of bathwater. Baths are sooooo nice now. :D
My korean body scrub mitt.
It's essentially just a super powered loofah, but I put some body wash on it and scrub myself like I can purge my sins about once a week. Keeps my skin super soft. It's really helped for dry itchy skin in the winter time.
One can find these at your local Jjimjilbang, "oriental" mart, or on amazon.
Are these the towels you're taking about?
Actually instead you should try these exfoliating Italy Towels that they use for Korean Scrubs, I just got them on amazon.ca https://www.amazon.com/pcs-Asian-Exfoliating-Bath-Washcloth/dp/B004C8DR1U and I love them, I just use them in the shower before your body wash/soaps/ shaving, I usually use them once a week after after my hair step, so that my skin gets softer from the water. They are reusable too.
Tony Moly also sells a version of this.
Be sure to soak your feet before using. Like, until they are wrinkly. It'll help your skin to actually soak up the solution.
Also, the basis of this is really just exfoliating. You can get similar results without having to do the full peel by simply manually exfoliating your feet. It sounds gross, but I find it works without having to go through the whole process of molting feet for a week.
While in the bath - once your feet are nice and soaked and the skin is softened, you can usually just use a pumice stone, an abrasive cloth (like Italy clothes from South Korea or exfoliating mitts that are made of fine viscose (I prefer these for full body rub downs as well as feet - easier to use), or just your finger nails. You can feel the dead skin coming off - finger nails are especially useful around the toes.
Have you tried AmLactin directly after a shower? Also, try exfoliating in the shower with these.

I know the lighting in these photos is different, but the before photo on the left looked as bad or worse than it does in the photo.

I'm looking into additional options now, but so so happy with this start as it eliminated like 70% of my issue.
Routine - Every time I take a shower (basically every day)
Allow to dry, and voila! I hope this works for some folks here.
They are called Italy Towel. I found them with the other body care items. It looked like this when I purchased it about a year or so ago

Hi Imooldgregb here is the link
Search for a bath overflow drain cover. You can get one on Amazon for $7, or pick one up at Bed, Bath and Beyond and the like. It covers the drain so you can have a deep bath.
Edit: there’s a hole in the top so you won’t run the risk of completely overflowing the tub.
Have you heard of Sensory Processing Disorder? I have OCD and don't think that your aversion is related to that, but it's pretty unusual. I say that I don't think its OCD because the way you talk about soap is more physical than mental-and while I'll be the first to talk about nausea and feeling physically ill because of anxiety, you describe a very SPD like experience. I hate brushing my teeth because the taste of every toothpaste and physical sensation of brushing and movement triggers my gag reflex, but using warm water and being aware of how important it is helps me power through most of the time.
Is bar soap different than liquid soap? Have you ever tried powdered soap? How do you deal with dishwashing soap and laundry detergent? Does shampoo not trigger the same ill effects? Have you ever used a cream cleaner? Have you ever used orange Gojo hand cleaner? Do scented lotions or candles affect you in the same way that scented soap does?
I'd definitely recommend seeing a therapist who has experience with OCD and autism, because sensory stuff and compulsive behaviors (or lack of behavior) can be linked to that stuff. If you have any success, please post an update!
Edit: to add, have you ever used a nylon net? one of these things, it dramatically changes the texture of liquid or bar soap to something more like foamy shampoo, which might help.
Edit 2: Dr. Bronner's liquid castile soap has a very different texture than most liquid soaps, might be worth giving it a go.
oh man you asked for it. This is what I do if i have a day off and nowhere to be:
I like to put on a mud mask (I like the volcanic clay one from Innisfree, or the pore refining charcoal one from clinique) wait for that to dry, and then hop in the shower to rinse it off, and wash my hair. Then I fill up the tub and put in some nice bath salts or a lush bath bomb, apply a hair mask and a sheet mask. After extensive soaking, I scrub off with one of those korean towels (gets all the dead skin off your body. it's pretty gross but very worth it.)
After that, hop back in the shower, rinse off completely, shave, and then moisturize. Takes a long time but man do I always feel good afterwards.
I had success with “Italy Towels” about once a week to scrub (a lot of) dead skin off after a soak in hot water. Also, using coconut oil after showering and especially after scrubbing did great for any raised bumps.
Hey there, I've got all kinds of eccentric natural beauty/health products that I can suggest:
I don't use body soap at all -- I just scrub in the shower with an asian washcloth.
I do use soap on my hands, as they're exposed to all sorts of yucky stuff and then I touch food and other people. For soap, I use Dr. Bronner's. I also use it as body wash if I get something unusually gross on my body (engine oil, for example).
For deodorant, I use one of those crystals. I like this one just cause it's shaped like regular deodorant.
I make my own lotion with shea butter and jojoba oil from Amazon. I weigh out 70g of shea butter and 30g of jojoba oil in a bowl and melt them in the microwave. Then I mix them up and put the bowl in the fridge for a few minutes to cool. I use an electric mixer to mix the lotion and then put it back in the fridge for another few minutes. Eventually, the lotion cools to the point where I can whip it (kind of like whipping cream). I also add some essential oils once it's cooled but still fairly liquid (coconut and lemon is my current jam) so that takes care of perfume :)
For toothpaste, I actually use tooth powder. (It's also good for the whole TSA nonsense.) There are a bunch of brands, Ecodent, for example.
I'm including some product links, just so you can see what I'm talking about. I haven't purchased that particular brand of shea butter, but it looks nice :) You might try going down to your local health food/hippie store and see what kind of products they have in their beauty section. My local store has stuff like soap, shampoo, and conditioner in bulk, so you can buy just a bit and try it out to see if it works for you :)
One of the best products I've ever purchased. It covers the overflow drain.
Nope. =(

Something like this or this is what I use, some Asian markets have them in the soap section.
These are Italy towels. They're more like rough little mitts than actual towels. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004C8DR1U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_UU-xzbQ6F60ZE
They're meant to be used on skin that's been soaked in a bath or long hot shower. They're very good at getting rid of dry skin, but they're pretty intense stance you're supposedly to really go at your skin with them. You can see your dead skin actually roll up and fall off. Totally disgusting but also very satisfying. They're washable and reusable so they last forever. I bought the pack of 8 in Feb and have only had to replace on so far.

Hopefully someone else can speak to laser hair removal (I'm super curious myself as I've heard a lot of mixed things) but in the meantime while you are pricing things out and the summer approaches, I have a few suggestions. I also have thick dark leg hair and am prone to bad ingrown hairs. I use a Japanese exfoliating towel with some bath gel on my legs/bikini line before I shave, shave, then exfoliate again with the towel/more bath gel. And once out of the shower, I rub this magic on the areas I'm prone to getting ingrowns. It's more or less completely eliminated my ingrown hair problem. If you haven't tried either it might be worth the $15 just to see if it'll help a bit before you can get the laser removal.
>The sensor boxes had to be plugged into outlets and you needed to mount them high-up in the corners of your room. The criticisms were valid, when setting up hardware requires power tools something is probably amiss.
No power tools required. Just some shower curtain rods and some quick release pipe clamps for cameras. Yes, more money, but provides a mobile setup (or just an adjustable setup) and you dont have to put holes in your walls (something apartments frown on).

The answer to all our prayers. Seriously best $9 I've ever spent.
You want to exfoliate first! Get an Italy Cloth, Scrub Gloves, or if you want to go non-AB, one of these. The next time you shower, scrub yourself down & any lotion you end up choosing will absorb much better.
Ahhhhhhhh, that's probably the key then. I'm really impatient with applying fake tan haha. I just bought these because I read in another thread that they are supposedly better than the gloves :O I can't wait to be a smooth baby hahaha.
Did you change anything in your routine that might've caused it? I dealt with butt (cheek) acne for a while too, and I realized that the onset coincided with the period of time that I started working out a lot (sweaty gym tights and sharing gym surfaces = grossness). So I tried to be more diligent about showering as soon as I finished working out, and I also started using one of those Japanese exfoliating cloths to make sure to get rid of any build up. I also tried a butt acne clearing lotion, but I'm not too sure if it made much of a difference. I think there are also body washes with benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or tea tree oil that you could try, but I think the exfoliating cloths were what really helped clear it up.
Here you go! The price has gone up a lot since I bought them apparently. You can get one by itself for like $5.50.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007IAE5WY/ref=pd_aw_sims_3?pi=SS115&simLd=1
YES. I use secret or dove clinical strength because I'm sweaty af but I swear that shit never comes off. It's slightly worrying.
Anyway specifically exfoliating my armpits pretty much deals with it for me. I used to just wash them like the rest of my body but to get rid of the ghost of deodorants past I put some soap or body wash on one of those korean exfoliating towels and scrubby scrubby a few times a week.
Dunno why people are suggesting tripods when he said they take up too much floor space...
I have been using these super long curtain rods (running from floor to ceiling) + gopro camera mounts for 2 years without issue:

Have you tried one made like this one ?
Re: KP, quitting dairy (and going vegan) will probably have a bigger environmental impact than all zero waste habits combined ;) So that certainly won't hurt!
I personally use an Italy towel for exfoliation on my KP and found that using that plus a heavy moisturizer (like various oils, haven't found shea butter package-free but that's another option) has been the best. My italy towels did come in plastic packaging but they can be reused over and over again, probably forever. It's what korean spas use to exfoliate. I have a green one and pink one, and the pink ones are supposedly more gentle so I gently use it on my face and it works too.
I'm still phasing out my old skincare, but right now I'm doing: oil cleansing --> cleansing w soap --> exfoliating w towel --> using my old moisturizer (will try evening primrose or jojoba oil next) --> sunscreen.
Here are some other ZW ideas, from Paris to Go. More for fun, I think, though :)
For my KP routine, I am scrubbing myself with Exfoliating Bath Washcloth and applying Amlactin Ultra or Excipial 20% Urea after shower every morning and evening. The bumps have gone down significantly, but I am still struggling with the red discoloration all over the body.
Any suggestions/comments on what I might be doing wrong/right?
I use salux before I shave my legs. Most Asian stores do carry them or order it on Amazon.
Using these exfoliating wash clothes and using stridex in the red box helped me so much. I now only need to spot treat with stridex when I get an occasional break out.
I'm pre-HRT, but here's my skincare routine, with links to the exact products I use. I tried my best to define any skincare terminology. I recommend doing this before bed. Make sure to do the steps in the order listed.
Night time skincare routine
1) Exfoliate. This removes dead skin and other crud. Without exfoliating, you'd be applying skincare products on top of your layer of dead skin, which wouldn't be as effective. I use a Salux brand exfoliating cloth in the shower, lathered with Dove brand bar soap. You should only exfoliate and shave 2 to 3 times a week because it's abrasive. Other steps can be done every night. Side note: if you've never exfoliated before, I highly recommend trying it once. You will feel cleaner than you've ever felt after showering.
2) Shave. If you need to shave, now is the time to do it. If you've had laser hair removal, or simply don't have much body hair, move on to the next step. I don't have specific recommendations for shaving products. The most important thing is to use a clean razor. If you are reusing a razor, wash it with soap and hot water, and use rubbing alcohol to kill any leftover bacteria. Exfoliating before shaving can reduce razor burn because you're cleaner, and therefore less likely to get dead skin and bacteria into the "micro cuts" caused by shaving. Even if you don't cut yourself deeply enough to bleed, dragging a metal blade across your face is always slightly irritating. (Side note: I can't effing wait to get laser.) If you cut yourself shaving, you may apply some 70% rubbing alcohol, only to the cut. I've seen sources that recommend applying rubbing alcohol everywhere after shaving, to kill bacteria and therefore reduce irritation. I don't recommend this because rubbing alcohol is harsh and will dry your skin.
3) Toner. This step cleans your skin further. Similar to exfoliating, the idea is to remove as much dirt and dead skin as possible, so that the skincare products can actually absorb into your skin. I pour some Thayers brand alcohol-free, rose scented witch hazel on a cotton ball and apply to my face and neck. Another reason why the order of the steps is important: This toner contains witch hazel, which is an astringent. This means it tightens your skin. Using witch hazel after shaving may reduce irritation by causing any micro cuts to contract. Let your skin air-dry before moving on.
4) Serum. Now that you're clean, it's time for products that will actually be absorbed by your skin. There are many types of serum available. I typically use retinol, which tightens your skin and prevents wrinkles. I apply a few drops of retinol serum to my face and neck and rub it in. I wait a few moments to let the serum dry before the next step.
5) Moisturizer. Last step. This hydrates your skin and keeps you looking young. I use CeraVe moisturizing cream. It comes in a white tub with a blue label. Most nights I just apply to my face and neck. On the nights that I exfoliate, I use moisturizer on my whole body. The main reason is that it can be time consuming, so I only moisturize my whole body after exfoliating, when my skin will better absorb the moisturizer. Additionally, I use this moisturizer on my hands several times throughout the day (especially after washing my hands because soap can be drying.) This makes a significant difference in reducing dry skin, especially noticeable in the winter. If you only get one skincare product, I recommend this one.
Other important things
That's my nightly skincare routine, but wait, there's more! Any day there's a chance you'll spend time in the sun, wear sunscreen!! This is probably more important than all the other steps put together. You can apply sunscreen on top of your moisturizer, or use a moisturizer that includes SPF. Recently I've been experimenting with using this SPF moisturizer on my face every morning.
Last thing: some people think skincare is all about applying products to your skin, so they'll buy fancier and more expensive products. This is like pulling harder on one lever without realizing there are many other levers available. Diet, exercise, hydration, sleep, having fun, and avoiding stress are all important too. Drink water!! Like, drink a little more water than you think you need.
Edit: Can't believe I forgot this. Don't smoke, and don't use hard drugs. Please don't drink alcohol at your age because it can cause brain damage. When you're older, if you choose to drink, do so in moderation. I don't want to come across as "no fun allowed," but please learn from my experience. Binge drinking is not only bad for your skin, it will make you feel like complete poop the next day. Not worth it.
Edit 2: Fixed formatting, and added details.
Good luck, sis!
I can’t link the amazon pages right now, but I got these shower rods that go floor to ceiling and ball camera type mount with a clasp on rods. Takes up less floor space and pretty sturdy.

I think I'm caught up for now. Fortunately we've had a slow day at work and we haven't started to implement the project I've been over yet. Thanks for taking these over /u/herumph, love this series.
I love exfoliating, and if that's your goal, just get these. Wash your body with soap as usual, maybe take time to wash your hair/shave/etc (it works way better after you've been soaking a while), rinse, then start scrubbing with this thing (without soap at all). The amount of gross dead skin that you'll scrub away is just great. Very good for ingrown hairs too.
If you're looking for just a spa-like luxurious scrub, I like this. I don't find it nearly as effective as the previous towels, which are the best exfoliators I've used in general (not counting chemical exfoliators).

I’d find him some companions , I mean he’s gotta be lonely!
I have two sets of Alex drawers (the tall ones) and one is basically eyeshadow all the way down. It’s kind of ridiculous and I don’t really like the drawers (I wish they opened all the way, I can never get to stuff in the back). If you aren’t planning to buy more palettes, maybe just display it on top? You could also get an acrylic palette organizer that looks like this maybe?
$15 on Amazon
For the drain, this is a flat-type grate then? Those are typical where I live (San Francisco). We use silicon drain stoppers for those.

Then for the "overflow drain" that a lot of tubs have, we use deep water bath gadget (also silicone)

I also have a bath overflow drain cover (allows the tub to fill up a little higher, which covers my baby bump a little more) and a bathtub tray (what I like about this one is the little wine glass slot on the right...I had this before I was pregnant 😉)
I also bring my water bottle in for bath time. The warm water really dehydrates me. I have a 25oz Eddy Cambelback water bottle that I bring everywhere. I love the straw and I can open/sip it one handed. I think that feature will come in handy once the baby is born!

Oh my gosh, this sounds super stressful! I actually have horrible skin on my legs (scars easily) and am so bad about scratching bites. Let's see what we can do.
Lastly, try to just let it go on the day of and feel confident and beautiful. You're already super brave for doing the shoot and your FH is going to love it no matter what! If something really bothers you, ask your photographer what you can do. If your back is really bothering you, for example, could you stick with a men's button down shirt over a bra? Or not include poses of your back?
Product name: Salux Cloth
Price (range): $3.73/cloth
Country of purchase: USA
Skin info: All skin types
Ingredients: Nylon
Special info: 4.6 out of 5 Stars on over 1,200 Amazon reviews.
Experience & opinion: I use it with a moisturizing body wash for my body and it exfoliates better than any loofah or scrub I’ve ever used. For the price, you more than get your money’s worth because you can machine wash and dry them when you think they’re dirty. I occasionally will use it for my face, but I prefer Rodan & Fields Microdermabrasion Paste. I originally found it because I was searching for how to treat keratosis and never looked back. I give them as gifts to all my friends. For about $4, definitely worth a try.
I love using [these] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007IAE5WY/ref=sxbs_sxwds-stvp_1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=2972357942&pd_rd_wg=FKkbI&pf_rd_r=3P5S2BS4C2MPCSJ3P9WV&pf_rd_s=desktop-sx-bottom-slot&pf_rd_t=301&pd_rd_i=B007IAE5WY&pd_rd_w=vFhtc&pf_rd_i=Nylon+wash+cloth&pd_rd_r=9Q3KY68WZ2T4VCJJ9YD0&ie=UTF8&qid=1500386078&sr=1) on my legs and bum. It really smoothes out my skin.
Since those are out of stock, here's what I use.
I use this GENTLY to exfoliate a day or two before. Honestly, exfoliation makes more of a difference than anything else. Then I shave with the grain with a normal razor and hair conditioner, rather than shaving cream, as it's nicer to my skin. I grew to accept that I cannot shave against the grain without an itchy, bumpy mess.
I used to apply tea tree oil afterward which helped, but I no longer do that. Instead, I do the same exfoliation a couple days after shaving. I haven't had bumps in a long time with this method, however I would like to point out something: my hair is thick, coarse, and dark down there, and I can still see my hair follicles even immediately after shaving. It doesn't look as pretty and smooth as others due to my hair type and because I don't shave against the grain. I want to try waxing one day but haven't brought myself to do it yet. I just wanted to point out that it'll never look fully smooth if your wife has hair like mine. I hope my description helped.
I'd rather pay $1 more and go with the one with 1,600+ reviews vs this one with 11 reviews.

Bottomless Bath Overflow Drain Cover - Recyclable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00314WHW6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_28yAybW0GSFQH
Happy soaking!
Get your screwdriver and remove the overflow drain cover. Get a piece of plastic wrap and fold it over itself a few times to make a thicker piece of plastic. Take the plastic and cover the hole. Make a small hole for the screw and screw the drain cover back on. Cut off excess plastic as necessary.
or you can just buy one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Bottomless-Bath-Overflow-Drain-Cover/dp/B00314WHW6/ref=as_sl_pc_ss_til?tag=retrorenov-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=HEN4FB5YU7ANYZ2H&creativeASIN=B00314WHW6
The overflow's I've seen as a consumer/DIYer are an integral part of the drain system so they'd be difficult to seal off.
We do have a deep soaking tub that we like to soak in a bit deeper than the overflow allows, so we use something like this which adds few inches to the water level and just sticks on the top like a suction cup: https://www.amazon.com/Bottomless-Bath-Overflow-Drain-Cover/dp/B00314WHW6
I just took a bubble bath and used a clay face mask and I feel so relaxed. Also, this thing is awesome. I filled my bathtub all the way to the top.
A shower curtain if you have the kind of tub/shower that needs one. Also get a hair stopper to prevent hair going down the drain! Something like this. If you have a tub and like baths I suggest a drain cover too to get an extra few inches of water/bubbles.
Enjoy your new house!
Ive got a bunch of little ideas. Fuzzy pants, robes, or shorts like these. Or a nice fuzzy blanket/throw. I love those.
this bath drain will give you an extra 2-3 inches of water in the bath! bath pillows are also a godsend.
If she doesnt already have a phone workout band she needs one. I also seriously recommend fruit infuser water bottles!!
Best of luck.
this one?
Here's a link for italy towels on Amazon!
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004C8DR1U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_DU8LybJYW1AH3
Sit in a hot water bath for at least 20-30 minutes and then scrub your skin. Rolls of skin will come off, don't stop scrubbing until these don't come up any more. Then moisturize your legs after you towel dry. If this isn't a solution, I recommend seeing a professional or ask some family/friends.
Just sending you some love here--it's allegedly such a common issue, but I've got it worse than anyone I've met IRL.
I've had really good luck with Korean exfoliating cloths and Retin-A applied immediately after. Caveat being...that's on my body, I don't have it on my face.
Best of luck, friend. Don't despair yet. Don't let putting on makeup make you feel less masculine. It's no different than putting on sunscreen or any other product.
This appears to be keratosis pilaris, and there are a lot of things you can do to improve the appearance of your skin.
Edit: There are increasingly more invasive treatments you can use if the first basic approach doesn't work-- for example: stronger chemical peels, retinols, ultrasonic skin scrubbling, and microneedling. These are usually only used for either deeper acne/burn scarring or the pursuit of absolute perfection in one's face. However, if you combine a basic skincare routine with any sort of fasting, your skin will probably drastically improve.
Remember to patch test
Maybe try those exfoliating towels like the Salux ones or the Italy Towels ?
I’ve heard that the Italy Towels are more powerful and a little tougher than the Salux ones, but neither one should be used on the face.
I've recently started using a korean italy towel and it's been working great. They sell on amazon. In a good soaking or long shower it'll do a good job of taking off scales.
A long time ago, I started using one of these Asian scrubby wash towels and my life was changed forever. I will never buy anything else. Exfoliating without being too crazy abrasive. Soap rinses out quickly and completely and it dries fast. It's about 3 feet long, so you can easily wash/exfoliate your whole back. I've never had my back scratched better. Approaching orgasmic. I use liquid soap or bar soap.
I use a Japanese nylon washcloth, which are a bit more abrasive than normal cloths (definitely not for faces!).
I lather it with any salicyclic acid body wash (Dial, Neutrogena, etc.). Post-shower, I use Cerave lotion (in the tub).
My bottom used up look like yours, but I've had maybe two blemishes this summer since starting this regimen.
Wash cloths and loofahs? Naww.
People, school yourselves:

I'm no professional, but I've spent some time researching this subject, and lurking in the skincaretalk forums lightening community. There's a lot of noise to filter through, but I managed to find a few things that worked for me in getting rid of my own perma farmer's tan.
The first, and most important step of getting rid of a perma tan is SAP (Sun Avoidance and Protection). This literally cannot be emphasized enough, and aside from getting rid of a perma tan it's good for your skin's overall health. It looks like you've taken steps toward this, so snaps for you. Though it tends to leave a white cast, physical sunscreens (containing titanium dioxide and zinc oxide) are the best choice if you want to protect your progress, and prevent yourself from tanning again. Unless you're sitting directly in a sunbeam while you're inside, or in the path of direct reflections of sun, I wouldn't worry about sunscreen while inside. I personally wear long sleeves and sunscreen to combat against incidental sun exposure on the daily. If I know I'm going to be outside for more than a few minutes I have a UV umbrella that I use to protect against the sun. Do I look silly? Probably, but at least my skin won't look like an antique football when I'm older
As for actually getting rid of the tan, the first phase should be exfoliation, which it seems you've already started on. Look for products with AHAs like glycolic or lactic acid. Some readily available options you can buy at walgreens/CVS are Alpha Skincare Body lotion (12% glycolic) or Amlactin (12% lactic). The sidebar has recommendations on products more suitable for facial use if you'd prefer a gel or liquid option for this purpose. Do this for 6-8 weeks, and if your tan doesn't budge then add in active lightening ingredients into your routine.
Another user already mentioned some lightening ingredients to look for, and all these serve the purpose of inhibiting your melanin production and shouldn't make you lighter than whatever your lightest natural skin tone is. I personally used Kojie-San soap (containing Kojic acid) with a Salux cloth to great success on my body. I haven't used it, but I've heard Marie France soap has a higher concentration of acid and thus works more quickly than kojie-san. I used a combination of dermatologist prescribed Retin A and 4% hydroquinone on my face and neck, as the soap was too drying to use on my face. I have friends and relatives who have used Maxipeel #3 (which contains both Retin A and hydroquinone) successfully to get rid of their own face/neck tan, as well as acne scars as a bonus. Kojie-San, Marie France and Maxipeel are Filipino products, but in general, lightening products from Asian countries tend to be more trustworthy than products you may find from sub-Saharan African countries, which in my experience and research, stand a larger chance of having steroids in them. Wherever they are from, if you go for foreign products be sure to do your due diligence on the product itself and wherever you're getting it from. Amazon is usually a safe bet, but check the reviews.
There are some American creams available at the drugstore containing hydroquinone Ambi, with 2% hydroquinone, and Nadinola with 3% hydroquinone, the highest you can get commercially without a prescription in America), though without Retin A, these percentages will be largely ineffective for your purposes.
Getting rid of a perma tan will be a commitment, and progress will be slow, but as long as you are consistent and practice SAP, you'll get there.
I bought it at my local Daiso store, but you can get it off Amazon for about the same price:
http://www.amazon.com/Salux-Nylon-Japanese-Beauty-Yellow/dp/B007IAE5WY/ref=sr_1_1?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1413253999&sr=1-1
For the back acne: Another thought is possibly a backpack that's a bit too snug that could be causing this. For me, staying dry as possible and wear moisture wicking clothes helped. Perhaps change wife beaters throughout the day if sweat is a problem?
This subreddit also recommends Salux if you don't have it yet, helps with the back washing considerably compared to a regular loofah in terms of reaching spots.
As for the dry skin, try using Cerave in the tub or anything with cermamides about 10-15 minutes after applying BP? It helped me considerably but your mileage may vary.
Good luck!
I find best to use these

I get this too but I didn’t realize this was an EDS thing. Twice week I take a long hot shower and then rub myself down with an Italy cloth and it removes layers and layers of dead skin. Seriously its like a snake shedding its skin- so gross by so satisfying. Then I coat myself in coconut oil. When I’m consistent with it, the dead skin problem stays under control. I found out about Italy cloth at a Korean spa- you can buy them on amazon for cheap and they exfoliate better than anything else I’ve ever tried.

Just a personal recommendation. I'm not a shill for Big Showercurtain.
I have used the gloves before too, but what I really like is using an Italian cloth. You can get them, ironically, at a lot of Asian supermarkets or online:
https://www.amazon.com/Korean-Exfoliating-Washcloth-Green-TeChef/dp/B00LGLOKLM/ref=sr_1_8_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1469074797&sr=8-8&keywords=exfoliating+cloth
They last a really long time and are good for scrubbing other places especially in the winter when skin tends to get dry.
I have also mixed sugar, oil (I used coconut), and a teaspoon of lemon juice to exfoliate before I shave and then exfoliate a second time and shave again. It really makes your legs (and armpits if you can stand it) smooth!
Another bonus is you can go longer between shaves.
Do you exfoliate regularly? Try using an exfoliating washcloth daily and a sugar scrub before shaving. I still got ingrown hairs with epilating but exfoliating made a notice difference.
I couldn't find the washcloth I have but this one has rave reviews: Korean Exfoliating Bath Washcloth [4 pcs] (Green) by TeChef Home https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LGLOKLM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_U64oDbJ2S94AW

I don't know if you've tried already, but an italy towel may be exactly what you need. I've had keratosis pilaris for years on the backs of my arms and my legs.
What I found to be terrific for it was an italy towel. You can get them very cheap on amazon. The idea is to soak in a bath for a good 20-30 minutes (make sure that area of your body is submerged) and then scrub the area with the cloth in circular motions. It works most effectively without soap for me, and I've heard that from others as well. You can try either method. I just soak it in warm water. Often, the dead skin just rolls off and you feel soft as a baby afterward. It's very satisfying. Here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00LGLOKLM/
I also suggest Amlactin. It is a body lotion with lactic acid and lots of people have had success with it when it comes to KP/textured skin. It exfoliates very well.
Better option. Hold beer cans, bottles and stemware. I love mine!
So far my list includes:
A bath wine glass cup holder.I'm looking for bed risers with chargers in them too but can't seem to find them in the UK.
Sip Caddy holds cans, cups, wine glasses...
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pongtu-Disposable-Sticker-Hygienic-Strength/dp/B00UW7V06E
This should do it. It sticks to the rim.
https://www.amazon.com/Pongtu-Toilet-Disposable-Sticker-Plunger/dp/B00UW7V06E $20 + for a pack of three. No thanks.
That’s because it is. Not Amazon, but it looks like it’s the 3rd party seller. Check out related video shorts on the product page. The video is labeled Seller Videos. Still a funny video though.
Huh. I've never looked for one, but you're right. I'm not coming up with anything, even on Amazon. That's saying a lot considering that I can buy a cat butt tissue holder on there.
Just to think outside the box, what about a USB-C to USB-A male adapter to convert the headphones to a USB-A connection, then use some sort of multi-port hub to connect everything.
I'm also pretty sure you can convert the USB-C monitor to plug into an HDMI port.
Yeah, it's a nightmare living the dongle life at the moment, but with USB-C becoming more common, hopefully, it won't be much longer.

Holy smokes Batman!
I need this for my bath obsession!!
I love me a good bath!
My favorite moment was the first time /u/vogueadishu played online. It was so much fun watching her become addicted and playing with her.
If you don't have a side drain plug, you must acquire. You can't play alligator in a shallow bath.
I am dying for a deeper bath. This gadget will allow me to have a deep bath even in my tiny tub by bypassing the water-leveling-overflow-prevention thingie.
I promise not to drown. This would make my baths SO much better.
My baths normally last a minimum of one hour, max is normally two. This product prevents the water level from dropping. I usually set my laptop up on the toilet seat and watch something on Netflix. I can really feel my muscles loosening up about an hour or so later and it really helps me fall asleep.
To prove that I am not a part of some large bath advocacy group I shall share cons to baths. Washing your hair in the bath is very difficult and you either have to deal with a sub-par hair wash or shower after. Sometimes I get headaches after a hot bath from, I'm assuming, of dehydration. It also makes my face red af.
How about something like this, a really nice robe & slippers, jets, or one of these to make the bath deeper.
I know some elderly people who use those suction bars instead of having grab bars installed and they seem to work pretty well, but I would recommend checking the weight restrictions (I mostly know little old ladies who use them) and ensure that you have a good seal on a smooth solid surface before using.
Either these cat treats or this bath thing, both on the $5ish list.

Disappointed OP did not use this
Hmm... I guess the most random thing that I think I need would be this Bath Overflow Drain Cover
or this head lamp.
I feel like the tub cover is obvious. The head lamp would have come in handy last night when the power went out while I was at work and had to stay and finish my stuff.
to infinity and beyond!
My bathtub is one of my top 5 places to get stoned. Lucky enough to have a killer bathtub as well as a great view of awesome trees and sky, out of a couple windows in my bathroom on the 2nd floor.
I recommended the other day one of those clear plastic things that go over your overflow drain thing that let you get a couple more inches of goodness!

Deep bath overflow drain cover <- I have the same problem, this thingabobber helps get that extra few inches of water depth.
But for real, our shower is in constant use and too grody for me to ever feel up to cleaning it and soaking. I dream of one day having a separate Japanese soaking tub because they're shorter in length but deeper. I want everything but my nose and eyes covered so I can soak like a damn alligator.
Let me change your life: http://www.amazon.com/Bottomless-Bath-Overflow-Drain-Cover/dp/B00314WHW6
I don't know why they design the overflow inlet so poorly on a lot of tubs, but these things are life-changing.
My gut tells me that everyone but me knew already, but I didn't know that I could just cover this thing and my bathtub would stop steadily draining. I didn't even know the nose-lookin' thing in every bathtub I've ever bathed in was an over-flow drain. I thought it was just a drain toggle that never worked. My whole life I've been adjusting the water to trickle down so my hedonistic ass can take a bath with the water at the rim like the good lord intended.
I have so many regrets.
> Or, for just an extra inch or two, rotate the overflow drain 180* and caulk it.
Or just buy one of these to throw over the overflow when you're taking a bath.

I signed up for OKCupid in 2002 or 2003, when it first came out. I went on many dates, made some friends, and I'm still in touch with some of them. I met one guy, took him to an Evanescence concert, ended up meeting the brother, started dating the brother, and drove down one weekend to help the brother move to a new place...And got in a horrendous car accident. Totally screwed up my body, had surgery and everything. All thanks to online dating.
But I didn't give up. I tried other sites, too. Plenty of Fish, Geek2Geek, MMODating (my picture was in an advertisement for it in a gaming magazine), even Craigslist. Nothing stuck.
Until two and a half years ago. August 25th, 2011, I just sent out messages to about forty guys on about three different sites.
One wrote me back. And, surprisingly, we hit it off. We REALLY hit it off. So much so, that we were engaged within for months, and married two months later.
Tomorrow is our two year wedding anniversary, in fact. My parents just showed up, as I write this, to take us out to dinner for it, since we can't afford to treat ourselves.
The point is, don't give up. There are lots of people out there, and online communication is a great way to get to know someone, vet out their likes and dislikes, find out how you're similar. I was 31 before I met the man of my dreams, but it DOES happen.
And I'm still friends with those brothers I met in 2004. And others I've met through dating sites.
Keep at it. You'll find your luck soon, I'm sure. I'm rooting for you!
EDIT: Item, because some days I'd really love the ability to take a bath. We have a tub, but no way to stop the water from draining out. :-(
Ah no sorry I should have included a link-- here!
For around 10 years now! I haven't perfected anything, and ymmv as always, but here's what I've found and tried
So I've managed to limit the new bumps for now, but the PIH from KP is real. I'm casually experimenting with vitamin c and retinol (on different nights or with at least 30 minutes between application), but I think it's gonna take time. Niacinamide is also supposed to help so I sometimes sprinkle some of my Scinic Honey AIO. Let me know if you do find something that works for this because I hate it!
I've been exfoliating with a sugar scrub and/or viscose cloth, dropping on a little vitamin c serum, slathering on a bunch of coconut oil, and then putting my hands into regular plastic gloves and going to sleep.
I'm not sure if every step is necessary or even really contributes, but it's a nice bedtime ritual. My hands and cuticles have never been happier! Plus I can still use my phone and laptop in my gloves... so it doesn't interrupt my normal insomniac routine : D
Link for you!

Chemical and physical exfoliation!
My preferred method is Exfoliating Asian Wash Cloths in the shower and Stridex afterwards. Works like a charm.

Which were recommended by someone else in r/AB haha
I have mild KP, but my bumps are completely gone since I started using these towels. They're also called Italy towels, Turkish towels, Hammam or Hamam towels, or Kese mitts. But these are the cheapest ones.
It's really gross seeing all the grey balls of dead skin come off you but oh so satisfying. They make my skin feel softer than a baby. They're also great for staving off ingrown hairs in the bikini area. They keep my elbows and knees from looking dark or ashy, help lotion sink in better...they're just awesome.
Just soak in the tub or stand under the shower for ten minutes or so, and use these before you soap up in a back and forth motion. I use them about twice a week.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004C8DR1U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I got it from Amazon! Pretty good price if you ask me, you get two packs and there's 4 in each, so there's 8 pieces. And yeah, I used to be able to see skin flakes/dust whenever I rub/scratch my legs (tmi sorry) but now I don't get that anymore.
For a "scrub," I have eschewed various "scrubby" products, and use a Korean scrub glove. You can get a package of 4 at Amazon for like, $6.00 USD. here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004C8DR1U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (not affiliated). Bought a set for my sister, too, who constantly complains about rough knees/elbows. Anyway, these are cheap and they are simply wonderful. I've been a dry-brusher for decades, and I've replaced that with these. Easier to use, you can sort of choose how "scrubby" you want to go, and my skin feels like the proverbial baby's bottom. HIGHLY recommend.
I'm going to agree with the above poster. Products with urea (I use Eucerin Advanced Repair) and Stridex help a loooot. Eucerin does not specify how much urea they use for this one, but there are other lotions on Amazon that definitely do. I would second those recommendations. I also use a Salux cloth sometimes, but its VERY rough. I can only use it for a lil bit.
Probably ingrown hairs. Does that sound about right? If so, try exfoliating. Scrub daily with something (like a Salux bath towel), and chemically exfoliate with Stridex. Greatly improved my legs, to be sure!
I see that you are dealing with eczema, so a hydrating cleanser instead of soap would be much better for you. Moisturize right after you get out of the shower, even better is your skin is still damp. The trapped water will give you extra moisture. If your moisturizer is not enough, add a few drops of Jojoba Oil to your hand with a dollop of the moisturizer.
Once a week, use an exfoliating cloth likeThe Salux Towel, it gets rid of dead flaky skin.
If you don’t mind extra exfoliation, once a month I use these Hammam Exfoliating Gloves for deeper exfoliation. They are not for everyone but They give amazing results if you soak in a warm bath for a few minutes before hand.
Don’t forget to use a pumice stone on your heals too.
Going to 1-up you with a Salux cloth. I dry brushed for a LONG time but it just didn't cut it and then I found a reddit thread on these things. They work SO well.
I was actually lucky enough to find the real ones at my local asian supermarket that possessed all the markers of the authentic ones as described by the distributors/sellers of the salux wash cloth, http://saluxshop.com/.
You can purchase it directly from their website OR their ebay store, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Real-Salux-Japanese-Exfoliating-Nylon-Bath-Wash-Cloth-Discount-Bundles-/120805336805. You can also get it from amazon as well, http://www.amazon.com/Salux-Nylon-Japanese-Beauty-Yellow/dp/B007IAE5WY/ref=lp_2600026011_1_1_a_it?srs=2600026011&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1456908663&amp;sr=8-1
If you're interested, here is an in-depth post from them that tells you how to differentiate from the fake ones to the real ones haha: https://saluxshop.wordpress.com/the-imitations/
It's actually really not that hard to discern from the real ones to the fake ones. You will see. haha
Hope that helps! :)
Exfoliating is to scrub the skin, so the dead skin falls off, and it can pull out ingrown hairs, and so on.
Depending on the area of skin, you may want to be more or less gentle. So a face can be exfoliated with a face scrub and/or face brush. The bottom of your feet, use a pumice stone. And for areas you shave, having a washcloth or brush can do it, it can be tricky finding something that is comfortable, yet effective, and not too rough. I'm satisfied with this.
Salux Nylon Japanese Beauty Skin Bath Wash Cloth/towel (3) Blue Yellow and Pink
I'm on my phone
For me, the biggest difference is ease of use. I imagine you get a similar exfoliation from both. Since the towel is easy for me to wrap around my back and scrub without contorting my arm, it's much easier for me to use. It also lathers up extremely well and is super fast to clean and dry.. which can sometimes be an issue for me with a loofah.
Here is the one I use, I just get them from Amazon if I'm not visiting any Asian grocery stores soon. They are usually WAY cheaper if you can get them at a grocery.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P1PHI6I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_m47OBbM3YP2QK
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007IAE5WY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_C77OBbXXK373N
Both of these I’ve used! I like the 2nd for its length (easy back reach) and the 1st for its efficiency (I think it’s scrubbier if that makes any sense).
The greatest thing I've seen for this is the Salux Cloth. It is beyond amazing and they're super cheap. Read the reviews. I actually threw out my Clarisonic after buying these.
http://www.amazon.com/Salux-Nylon-Japanese-Beauty-Yellow/dp/B007IAE5WY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1417835289&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=salux+cloth
I use an exfoliating towel this exact one
This doesn't. It's not so much a cloth as a long sheet of "fabric" made from nylon. This:
Salux Nylon Japanese Beauty Skin Bath Wash Cloth/towel (3) Blue Yellow and Pink https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007IAE5WY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_UWZtybAJTWSWW
you need one of these, blows my mind these aren't more common. It's just a really long wash cloth so you can grab the ends and scrub every inch. The Japanese really know what they're doing.
https://www.amazon.com/Salux-Nylon-Japanese-Beauty-Yellow/dp/B007IAE5WY/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1481058755&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=japanese+wash+towel
omg yes this is what I actually use
So I actually like the original cream but I have sampled the gel cream. The great thing about La Mer is you can get samples when you order from their site. But yes, it is very pricey. For me a 2 oz. thing of the creme will last almost a year though.
I'm not sure if it's strictly the vitamin c, but I have noticed a difference in the lotion I use that incorporates both vitamin c and retinol! I honestly just love this because it is very lightweight and doesn't leave a greasy feeling on my skin.
I also forgot to mention that I try to moisturize rough areas (knee caps, elbows, hands, feet) with coconut oil and put the tiniest amount on the tips of my hair sometimes! I also have pretty long hair so the ends can dry out, especially if I'm due for a trim...
I keep wipes in my gym bag. If I know I can't get a shower right away, I clean my acne prone spots with the wipes to at least get some of the sweat and dirt off.
I use the Stridex red box pads too. I don't find body washes with salicylic acid very effective for me, it just doesn't stay on my skin long enough. The Stridex pads are better, imo.
Physical exfoliation seems to help too. I buy [salux](Salux Nylon Japanese Beauty Skin Bath Wash Cloth/towel (3) Blue Yellow and Pink https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007IAE5WY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_10EVzb2EXJS8P) cloths on Amazon. They're kindof like an unraveled loofah, but better, because they're machine washable.
I’ve used exfoliating gloves after waxing to prevent ingrown hairs. But I recently switched to a Salux cloth from the Asian grocery. It’s bigger and easier to use than the gloves, and I can even scrub my own back with it- can’t do that with gloves!
My waxing lady said wait 2 days after waxing to start exfoliating, so I don’t know if it’s the same for epilating or not, ymmv. You can also try doing the scrub cloth before epilating, and then follow up with some of the lotions and chemical exfoliators other people recommended.

That looks a lot like keratosis pilaris. I have it too and there really is no "cure". I found exfoliating with a [salux cloth](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007IAE5WY/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_1tIfvb0RSA5NV

It's not a miracle product but I'm seeing some nice results with the Trader Joe's Tea Tree Body Wash. It's super cheap so I figured why not try it and I'm so happy I did.
I've also started clipping my hair up (in the shower) after washing it so it's not touching my skin at all when I scrub my back. I'm using these to do the scrubbing: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007IAE5WY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1

Did not submit wishlist to ISFJ Mom-Santa early enough. Was informed that gifts for me were purchased a while ago, and it is too late... :)
Things that I really enjoy having that I would have enjoyed receiving as a gift, though (even if I got them for myself....):
I can't think of many other things that aren't even specific to what I like. I'm definitely trending after my (I think ENTP) Dad in the, "hard to shop for; if wanted a thing badly enough, probably got it for self a while ago instead of waiting arbitrarily for Christmas in order to tell someone to get it/hope someone gets it."
If you want to cheat and/or take frequent baths, this little bugger is my best friend (I would live in the bathtub if I could). https://smile.amazon.com/Better-Bath-Deep-Water/dp/B0001YJIGW?sa-no-redirect=1
This is the one i have, its got a hole at the top that i would hope would prevent an accidental overflow, though i've never tested it out. i live in an apartment, so unscrewing anything is not something i'm comfortable with.

Few ideas:
How much do you want it stopped?
You can just take the cover off and shove a rubber cork/plug in there.
You can cover the hole with "Flex Tape"

In my studio I got lucky with storage but I know that I would get this bag holder as well as collapsible kitchen essentials. A slim trash can helps. If your bathroom has no storage, something like this can help. Hang your spices on the cabinet. Use this in the shower if you need more space. XD I use command hooks near my front door to hold my keys and daily jacket. :)

You're welcome. Someone also makes a similar shower curtain.
Here's one that's fairly close on Amazon :

There's also a sexy version.
Want to know how to make bath time even better? If you’re like me, your arms and legs stick out of the water after you have filled it. With this handy device you can add a few extra inches of water to your bath without the pesky metal drain sucking it away. Seriously - buy this.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00314WHW6/ref=asc_df_B00314WHW65370858
Here you go: https://www.amazon.com/SlipX-Solutions-Bottomless-Overflow-Diameter/dp/B00314WHW6
http://www.amazon.com/Bottomless-Bath-Overflow-Drain-Cover/dp/B00314WHW6
Or just get one of these: SlipX Solutions Bottomless Bath Overflow Drain Cover Adds Inches of Water to Tub for Warmer, Deeper Bath (Clear, 4" Diameter) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00314WHW6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_JJUDDbYW4QX0K
Also, you can buy one of these overflow drain covers
It should hold water when raised, drain when lowered.Sometimes you need to wiggle it a bit. Also, note that there is an overflow space at the bottom of the metal circle.If the tub fills to here, it will drain here, rather than go all the way to the top of the tub. Should you want a fuller tub there is a silicone suction-cup gadget you can put on to block the overflow.
I see that you like bath products! I think we would both like the Bath Overflow Drain Cover. It lets you put more water in a bath for deeper bubble baths! I know my tub at home seems to drain really low, and the few extra inches would be really lovely.
Let me introduce you to the Bottomless Bath...

Wow I am so late on this! Sorry, if you're still interested I was finally able to take a bath last night after receiving this stuff.
I purchased this drain stopper and this overflow cover Together they worked very well together & allowed me to fill my bath probably another 3 inches or so. My bath is fairly old in my apartment & without the drain cover it drains (very slowly) but let's say I'm taking just a 20-30 minute bath, it will be less than half full by the time I'm finished.
I had really bad luck last night - I guess I chose to take a bath when everyone in my building decided to run their dishwasher & do laundry & whatever else so I had 0 hot water & really didn't feel like sitting in lukewarm water forever. I feel like the overflow cover would have allowed me to fill up even farther which would have been nice.
Coupled with some candles & a bath pillow & it would be a perfect bath. I really recommend them. Also for as cheap as the items were they seem pretty durable & with proper care I would say they would last quite a while.
This. also this. and this. also maybe some books? Ask for fancy ice cream? Lol or if you like who's asking tell them you wanna visit a soda jerk (old fashioned soda shop)
Im with you on the baths. Love them. This thing changed my life:

I had one but I didn't realize the care instructions are meant to be followed and it got mildewy and has to be thrown away. So yes, that is what I would choose. Thanks for the contest!

Prepwork: EXFOLIATE. In your morning shower (I recommend showering in the morning, if you're worried about all-day-smells), scrub your armpits, back, chest, feet, and anywhere else that may be a bit sweaty over the course of the day with an exfoliating pad and soap. This will remove dead skin cells, which are what stench-causing bacteria love to eat. Swab your underarms with a touch of rubbing alcohol before applying your deodorant to kill off any lingering bacteria. Moisturize to avoid causing further dead cells.
Wash behind and around your ears, groin, butt and feet thoroughly with soap.
Powder your unmentionables (groin and buttocks)with talc-free powder- generally I use Arm & hammer.
Make sure you're wearing clean underwear and socks and undershirts. I re-wear pants and some shirts several days at a time before washing, but some of my shirts get pit-stank after only 1 wear so those go right into the wash. If you have lingering or chronic pit-stank on your shirts, get some sports-specific detergent, scrub a bit with some water into the pits, and let them sit half an hour before washing. Don't let it sit too long or it can stain/bleach the fabric. You could do this with baking soda and water, too, with varying degrees of effectiveness.
Throughout the day: Baby wipes are a big part of my day if I'm going to be running around a lot- use them to wipe anything that could be gathering sweat, and places where fabric rubs agaisnt your body. Ladies may suffer some bra-sweat concerns and not realize it, so that's an important area to tend to. Use one after using the bathroom to be extra fresh. I prefer mine unscented because I don't care for the smell of msot baby wipes.
Re-applying deodorant at midday (or every 2-3 hours if you're super sweaty) can help, too. Using a nice, clean-smelling lotion that is good quality so the scent lingers but isn't overwhelming.
You can add essential oils to your wash to make your clothes smell good long after drying.
Hi! Looking for some help with exfoliation:
I've been using BHA for chemical exfoliation at night and AHA 2-3 times a week to help fade PIH.
What application method gives best results for chemical exfoliators? I'm inconsistent with application methods, from most to least often I either fall asleep with the BHA still on my face, sometimes BHA + immediately apply AHA + immediate moisturizer, sometimes I rinse off the BHA after 20 min and apply moisturizer.
Also, should I add physical exfoliation? I never feel like the dead skin comes off my face, and sometimes I can't stop myself from picking and scraping. I've been researching on /r/AsianBeauty and it looks like some suggestions for physical exfoliators are "Paris Cloths" and "Salux Cloths". Any thoughts?
Yeah I'm not sure why they are called Italy towels because I've only seen them used in Asia. But here is what people are referring to
I don't have it but I've heard that these work wonders for KP-- soak for 15 minutes then a hearty scrub once a week.
I'd really like to buy Korean Italy Towel but most likely have to do it online (All I have is the basic box stores). I'm worried about getting a counterfeit on Amazon.ca
Does anyone have a link to a legit Korean Italy Towel for Amazon Canada or another site so I don't buy a fake?? Thank you!!!
EDIT: Are these the ones recommended?
I get this during the summer. It's from sweat being trapped under the skin and irritating the area. I usually have to make a conscious effort to scrub off the dead skin cells with a scrubbing towel every shower. Something rough like this:
https://www.amazon.com/pcs-Asian-Exfoliating-Bath-Washcloth/dp/B004C8DR1U
Afterwards it's fine. I never had it checked out. Just sort of lived with it.
Then
I am partial to these Korean exfoliating washcloths and use them all the time. This is a just a regular washcloth. I use these for my face when I run out of make up wipes.
Hi there!
I just wanted to let you know that Automod has removed your comment because it contains an Amazon referral link, which we don't allow in the sub.
Could you please edit the first URL so that everything from (and including) "tag=" is removed? That way, the product page will still be visible - but no one can make a profit from the link.
Alternatively, copy this link:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004C8DR1U
If you've done that, please reply to this message so I can approve your comment. Thank you!
I second the Italy towel maybe a Salux cloth which is a little softer. The usual directions are to soak in a hot bath or shower for about twenty minutes, then scrub yourself with the towel/cloth. Moisturizing afterwards will make you feel extra nice. :)
Sorry you went through such a rough time and I'm glad you're feeling a little better now. Depression is the worst. I know what it's like to feel like everything, including showering, is more effort than you can expend. I hope things just get better for you from here.
I would assume like this
Korean exfoliating cloths. At the end of a shower gently exfoliate you face with it, at first it will only make your skin feel smoother but over time it'll start to buff out scaring and whatnot.
Best part is they're only like $5 on amazon https://www.amazon.com/pcs-Asian-Exfoliating-Bath-Washcloth/dp/B004C8DR1U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1495946988&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=korean+exfoliating+cloth
Japanese bath salts?
Something like this, they come in individual packets so would be easy to split up:
https://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Hot-Spring-Bath-Powders/dp/B000FQMMXW/ref=pd_sim_194_5?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=9S16ZEQ2ZK5SGP4GERBC
I have a box of those and the Tabino Yado ones at home, I like both brands. I just clicked the first ones I saw come up with a Prime tag, the box I have says they're made in China and the Tabino Yado ones are Japanese, just in case that matters.
Maybe some of those viscose towels? I'm giving a few out to my sisters in their Christmas packages this year. I have these ones:
https://www.amazon.com/pcs-Asian-Exfoliating-Bath-Washcloth/dp/B004C8DR1U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1478534720&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=korean+exfoliating+towel
http://www.amazon.com/pcs-Asian-Exfoliating-Bath-Washcloth/dp/B004C8DR1U
These things are amazing as far as exfoliating goes. I wouldn't recommend on your face (well I do very gently), but they use these at Korean spas, and Korean homes everywhere I'm sure. But after being in the shower for a bit, just exfoliate your whole body with this and all the dead skin will come off. There is no they cloth like it. The ones at the grocery store do not compare. I do it about once a week. And then use coconut oil right after the shower. I find non exfoliated skin just feels the worst.
Favorite all over body exfoliating skin scrub cloth is about $0.75/piece and you can stick your bar of soap inside of it so you never lose the little baby pieces of soap.
Use a separate Korean scrubby cloth for your face with some Kiehls.
http://smile.amazon.com/pcs-Asian-Exfoliating-Bath-Washcloth/dp/B004C8DR1U/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1454055352&amp;sr=8-16&amp;keywords=korean+face+scrub+cloth
Like this one?
I'm interested in the Baiden mitten too! Currently I use the nylon Korean exfoliating cloths. I would rate it a solid 7/10, but I'm looking for something even more heavy duty. Have you tried the cloths? How would you say they compare?
Face masks! My favorite at home mask is honey and crushed banana. Makes your skin feel super smooth plus you can eat the leftovers.
Once a week I deep exfoliate and then moisturize my entire body with one of these. They're cheap and they leave my skin baby dolphin smooth.
https://www.amazon.com/pcs-Asian-Exfoliating-Bath-Washcloth/dp/B004C8DR1U/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=36E12CLARSC6U&amp;keywords=korean+scrubbing+mitt&amp;qid=1554829779&amp;s=gateway&amp;sprefix=korean+sc&amp;sr=8-4
Nails and eyebrows can make a huge difference. Take some time for maintenance. I always feel put together after I have my nails and brows done.
Drink plenty of water
Cut down on alcohol!
Hit the gym hard! I feel amazing after a great workout.
Sunscreen!!!! Skincare is essential! your dermis is the largest "organ" you have! Moisturize more than just your face! Take care of your hands, neck, and chest!
Hot herbal teas really add something extra to my down time.
Make sure your cloths fit. I find really great pieces at thrift stores and have them tailored so they fit. My four dollar blazer is from the loft and fits like a glove.
Meal planning I'm less frazzled when I don't have to worry about what I'm going to eat on top of everything else. Plus it saves you money and makes it easier to eat healthy.
Take care of your feet and titties by investing in quality bras and shoes, your back will thank you later.
When it comes to makeup only highlight one main feature at a time. Going bold on eyes? Go more natural/neutral with your lips. And vice versa.
How do you exfoliate? That chemical exfoliating cream/soap can be expensive. Maybe before that you could try [Italy Towels](http://www.8.com/ pcs Asian Exfoliating Bath Washcloth - Red & Green https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B004C8DR1U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_YFLPCb0CPP8R1) which are cheap and were a total game changer for me.
I discovered them when lived in Korea, everyone uses these to exfoliate their body weekly. You can go to a spa/bath (jimjilbang) there, and pay someone to scrub you down with one of these. It's AMAZING how much dead skin you'll see come off. They have totally saved my legs and I no longer get little bumps or ingrown hairs. I just use the italy towel once at week at the end of my shower.

Do you mean Salux?
I’m not sure if this has been said....but if you go to Asian supermarkets they have this exfoliation scarf thingy that’s like a really long loofa kinda thing. I think that would be helpful in scrubbing hard to reach places And it’s pretty cheap too. Also I don’t know if there’s any scientific proof but I try to scrub only in the direction my hair grows to prevent ingrown hairs and not scrub too hard that you hurt yourself because that can cause new wounds etc. Good luck and congratulations on your love life!
Edit: I found a link on Amazon that sells the exfoliation thingy I was talking about, just to give you an idea about what I was talking about
wash cloth towel
You can try body washes containing salicylic acid too and see if that would help. If you have a family member or a friend that can help you out, you can also try applying benzoyl peroxide on your back every day. Many people surprisingly do not wash their backs. If you don't own a back scrubber or a wash cloth like this [one] (https://www.amazon.com/Salux-Nylon-Japanese-Beauty-Yellow/dp/B007IAE5WY/ref=lp_11056491_1_17_s_it?s=beauty&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1477537924&amp;sr=1-17), you might want to add them to your toiletries.
If you go to any Asian market you can buy an exfoliating wash cloth. Looks like a towel but has tiny scrubby things on it. Use that to wash with whichever soap you use and the chicken skin will go away. Asian wash cloth
Exfoliating is a big help, these are awesome for in the shower. I lather one up with soap and use it to wash with, then shave, and then I lightly exfoliate with the cloth again with just water before getting out. Moisturize after with something that doesn't irritate your skin (I like Lubriderm Sensitive Skin personally).
I'm not sure I agree with the sentiment that women's razors are necessarily better. I spent quite a bit of time looking online for what the best razor to use on my legs would be and the general consensus was the main difference between women's and men's razors is just the handle shape and packaging/cost. Many cis women actually posted about preferring the Mach 3 which is a "men's" razor. I already had one of those so I've been using it for body hair and personally it's been working very well. It's also pretty economical compared to many when it comes to buying blades (you can get a pretty good deal on them in bulk on Amazon).
Also, how much pressure are you using? It should be quite light, let the razor do the work. I wonder if you're pushing down harder than you need to without realizing it.
In the mean time, they sell these in a two pack at walmart, they are amazing. They feel scratchy in the best way, suds up well, and don't get mildew stank.
Salux Nylon Japanese Beauty Skin Bath Wash Cloth/towel (3) Blue Yellow and Pink https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007IAE5WY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_0o0Yzb68VWP1T
I don't use a cleanser in the morning, but I do like using a salux cloth like this with water to wash/wipe away lint, cat hair, or whatever my face accumulates when I sleep. It is so fast and easy, and I feel like it has made my face smoother as well.
I had a bf that had a problem like this. People at work started to tell him he seemed to have an odor problem even though he showered everyday as well as wear his clothes once.
I got him this scrubby towel but anything similar to it works the same. Now he uses this along with an antibacterial soap when he showers. It's really rough so it gets all the dead skin cells off. Make sure to really scrub in the armpit areas! He hasn't had much of an odor issue since then
For me personally I use the scrubby towel thing too and this Vagisil ph balance wash (cause my vagina gets sensitive and it helps) but started using it for my armpits too and I never have to use deodorant as long as I use it each time I shower
Looks like you've already gotten some good advice, but I have a little more to add on a few of your items.
Sugar Scrub recipes? / How to remove dry skin? / How to eliminate the Red Bump Syndrome after shaving? Just get a Salux cloth and exfoliate with that (plus a little body wash) in the shower. It is MAGIC for exfoliation! I used to get the red bumps pretty bad but now I just exfoliate before shaving and I have no problems. Also, replace the blades in your razor when they start to get dull.
Ways to cure acne? This varies from person to person, but /r/SkincareAddiction is AMAZING. I wash with Cerave foaming cleanser, use their PM moisturizer (plus sunscreen during the day), make sure to wash my face AFTER brushing my teeth, and avoid touching my face much. This prevents a lot of zits for me. The ones I do get are poked with a clean lancet after washing my face and then covered with a hydrocolloid bandage.
How to whiten my smile? / bleach my hair? I saw you mention you have issues with pool chlorine--as a chemist, I feel I should inform you that commercial teeth whitening strips contain carbamate peroxide as the whitening agent and not chlorine bleach (NaClO). Similarly, bleach meant for hair is also peroxide-based. Big difference! Might want to see if they work for you, since they don't contain the chemical that was causing you problems.
Nail Care Tips THESE VITAMINS ARE MAGIC. My nails get pretty long without breaking now, and I'm really rough on my hands. They taste like candy, too. Should also be good for hair and skin!
Exercise routines...? Go learn how to lift heavy things properly. Seriously. New Rules of Lifting for Women is not a bad starting point for a total beginner. Heavy lifting has given me loads of confidence, kickass thighs, an awesome butt, and even visible abs at one point. Lifting will build muscle, which provides a nice frame even if you have extra bodyfat...how much bodyfat you carry also depends on your diet, which /r/xxfitness can help you figure out. Once you figure out what works for you, sustainably, diet and activity-wise, you actually have a great deal of control over how your body looks. (It turns out I like chocolate more than I like seeing my abs most of the time, but if I miss them and I want them visible for a while, I now know that about 1800-2000 cal/day with a high training volume will do that.) Endless cardio is not necessary if you are like me and you hate running...I only do naked cardio :D Do find an activity you love and will stick with, and make sure you get enough sleep. Don't cut calories to 1200/day and run yourself to death, it will screw up your metabolism for years and make it way harder to lean out.
Good ways to stop Cramps, or at least help make them lighter and less painful. If they're debilitating, see your gynecologist--a medical condition could be the problem. As an endometriosis sufferer, I'm on a Pill that's designed to give only four periods a year, but I take it continuously, so I don't have periods at all. That's not for everyone, but it does help a lot to start taking ibuprofen a week before your period and continue taking it (at the recommended interval, something like every 6 hours I think) until the cramping stops. Also, invest in a good heating pad. They work very, very well.
Because it's my April 8th BDAY soon, I'll enter and say my spirit animal is a cat. They're often solitary creatures but do tend to seek comfort of others when they feel the need. Also like me, they nap a lot and are very protective of their bellies...
Edit: item from my wishlist
deputydawg! You should get your Doctor Who poster or the TARDIS Beach towel.
I really like/want that poster that is why I'm choosing it for you and for the towel it is the TARDIS!
For myself, I don't know, surprise me!. Anything from my wishlists. Doctor Who/Lego related or anything else you see you think you/I will like haha.
Londinium Super tat (this month at least)
You should buy this. Because seriously, this little baby comes in handy and I honestly think they are top products.
AND... I am madly in love with this TARDIS beach towel.
Looks like shower rods: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00F3B4YPS
That’s pretty much it’s name in English. Also will work with “constant tension shower rod” here are the ones I used for my 9 ft ceilings, and these are the clamps
A buddy of mine got a set of curtain rods like these to stretch floor to ceiling:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F3B4YPS/ref=twister_B06XVTC2D7
And then these pipe clamp mounts to attach the lighthouses.
https://www.amazon.com/Grifiti-Threaded-Microphone-Diameter-Motorcycles/dp/B00E5M39AW
He's pretty happy with them.
Before I bit the bullet and drilled holes, I used a pair of mini camera tripods to put them on shelves. The downside was they were super easy to bump out of alignment meaning I had to re-run roomscale setup all the time, but they were also super portable and it'll look no worse than small satellite speakers as far as inspection is concerned.
I used these for the support rods:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F3B4YPS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
They are simply shower curtain rods that are supported with a spring. Since the lighthouses are pretty light, this holds their weight without any trouble, and there is no vibration at all. It's very sturdy for the price, if folks are looking for something a bit more affordable.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I5372SW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
For a cheaper version you can use tension rods aka shower curtain poles. I used three of these:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00L43HT2E/ref=twister_B00Q6HDHOM?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1
They come in different sizes too.
Highly recommend this setup.

this and this might work too if you have a flat roof
and i think ima do holopoint, ive tried that before and have an ich for it
Thanks for looking around. Unfortunately its hard to find in Canada. I just ended up getting this:
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00L43HT2E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I heard it should work fine.
I was a March 30th Paypal order.
I got my Vive about 3 hours ago, which was surprising as it's a Bank Holiday here in the UK.
I had some issues getting Audio to work from the 3.5 jack on the headset but restarting my computer solved the problem. I couldn't be much happier with it.
I have it set up in a room 9 metres from my PC.
I am using the following after various threads on here recommending different things.
Mounting poles
Clamps
9mtr HDMI cable
10mtr USB cable
Everything's working perfectly.
I have a floor-to-ceiling shower curtain rod as one of my stands with a handlebar mount and I have two tiny flexible tripods that can grip almost anything. Between these mounts I've never had an issue demoing at friends' houses. To add to the other great demo experiences people have already mentioned, I'd also try Richie's Plank Experience. Great for demoing.
I've been using extensible shower curtain rods, with camera mounts meant to be attached to motorcycle handle bars. Works great, takes a lot less room than tripods, and can be moved around easily. I have 9-foot ceilings, and the rods reach perfectly.

Korean Exfoliating Bath Washcloth [4 pcs] (Green) by TeChef Home https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LGLOKLM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_O8K5AbKSFZJFR
Just posted my routine in another thread! Its also important to make sure you GENTLY exfoliate the dead, dry skin once in a while because products will not seep into your skin if you have a layer of dead flaky skin on top. When I say GENTLY, I mean GENTLY. As in, using very light pressure and circular motions.
I usually gently exfoliate with regular face soap, https://www.amazon.com/Face-Shop-Water-Bright-Cleansing/dp/B00FJ2LU2Q/ref=sr_1_1?crid=QBAXDKBWNEI1&keywords=faceshop+rice+water+cleansing+foam&qid=1558028782&s=gateway&sprefix=faceshop+%2Caps%2C187&sr=8-1 , using an exfoliating towel in the shower, https://www.amazon.com/Korean-Exfoliating-Washcloth-Green-TeChef/dp/B00LGLOKLM/ref=sr_1_25?crid=3OPLND1BSAC82&keywords=exfoliating%2Bcloth&qid=1558028820&s=gateway&sprefix=exfoliating%2B%2Caps%2C192&sr=8-25&th=1 . Put some soap on the towel and exfoliate gently.
For skin, this is what I have found to work best for me. Currently on month 7, 30mg.
Cleanser: https://www.amazon.com/Bioderma-Hydrabio-Cleansing-Dehydrated-Sensitive/dp/B01ES79K4M/ref=sr_1_4?crid=CT33LP9ZQB56&keywords=bioderma+micellar+water&qid=1558027613&s=gateway&sprefix=bioder%2Caps%2C196&sr=8-4
The micellar water works for removing make up, but does not remove waterproof mascara. Use this both morning and night. If I just exfoliated, I will skip this step and go straight to toner.
Toner: https://www.sephora.com/product/moisturizing-toner-P253623?icid2=products%20grid:p253623:product
Serum: https://www.sephora.com/product/the-ordinary-deciem-hyaluronic-acid-2-b5-P427419
Moisturizer: https://www.sephora.com/product/ultra-repair-cream-intense-hydration-P248407
I've tried other combinations and this seems to work the best for me.
For body lotion: https://www.amazon.com/Jergens-Ultra-Healing-Moisturizer-Ounces/dp/B0034F9K36/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=jergens&qid=1558027510&s=gateway&sr=8-4
Try a Korea Towel!
I’ve been using one for a few months and I can’t stop feeling how smooth my legs are. Obviously this is only intended for body and non sensitive skin such as your face. All you need to do is take a nice hot shower or bath, and after you’ve soaked for a little while, just scrub. Dead skin will just come off in little bits. I seriously recommend these to everyone, especially if you have chronic dry spots, mine were my elbows and shins, and everything is so much better now!
Here you go!

These ones! They had a lot of good reviews and pretty cheap so I thought I'd try them out. Note: this is the Canadian site but I'm sure they're even cheaper on the US one!
The issue(s) Backne- specifically on the shoulders - majority whiteheads, some nodular acne. Mostly the white heads are fairly big, and I only got nodular acne on my face once or twice in my life but have it all the time on my shoulders, rarely in the middle on my back or the "squishyier" areas
Skin type. Combination. But on my shoulder's usually fairly "normal"
Current routine; Wash shoulders only in the shower, sometimes AM sometimes PM, with a cleanser (neutrogena grapefruit) then exfoliate (st. ives apricot (yes I know about the lawsuit)). Once a week I will use a Korean exfoliating rag ( Amazon Link ) to get rid of dead skin.
How long you have been using your current routine: 6 months
Your location Queens NY, Close to Forest Hills
Is it a good idea to start showering twice a day? I usually wash my face only once a day and I manage it pretty well. I had problems with my arms and legs drying out when I tried shower twice a day for a few weeks in high school.

Well that's a bummer. If they just don't care, they just don't care. Even if you tell their employer and they get reprimanded, they still probably won't care, except now they hold a grudge. I'd say your best bet is to follow the advice in another comment about reporting to the post master for damage to your mail and send along several video clips. Or screenshots of packages mid-air after a toss if mailing your complaint. Hopefully with enough evidence of repeat behavior, even if it sucks while the person retaliates in between, you can get them removed from that route (or their job that they clearly hate). Maybe order some glass or porcelain items from Amazon. Cheap things you don't even want just to show them smashed on arrival. Like this, butt maybe cheaper.

BAM
Get your daughter a shower curtain that has a slot for tablets/phones/ sheets of paper.
Like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075HG56QH
When she takes organic chemistry she'll need to learn about dozens upon dozens of reactions and rather than having to write them all down on the wall, she can just stick paper/phone/tablet in between the slots to learn them while showering. This is how I got through my O chem.
Realistically you don't even use most of the periodic table as a chemistry major. You learn about trends and such but the things that are actually useful (like atomic mass) are learned through sheer repetition.
Also, get her started on memorizing the amino acids if she's interested in biochemistry :P

I bought something similar to those light stands, but didn't like them....they "cut" into your roomscale zone, and they can not be as sturdy as you really want them to be (the lighthouses shouldn't move even the slightest bit).
I kept them for when i take my vive somewhere else and use as a portable solution. After some research, I use these now and love them...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CSMCPKQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
those are totally metal, and worth the slight extra price compared to plastic ones (but you could probably save a little money with the plastic ones).
those poles are great and easy to move too!
hope it helps, and you made the right choice w/ vive, it's the superior HMD by far.
