I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
Impressive. Very nice. Let’s see Paul Allen’s morning skincare routine.
And when do you take the time to scream into the pillow?
Damn. ~~All the text I waited for the funny punchline. But... You were serious.~~ It felt kinda familiar 😁
They’re not serious. It’s a quote from American Psycho.
Ooooooh, I could've sworn it sounded somehow familiar :)
And yet Paul Allen's card is still orders of magnitude better.
I need to sleep these 25 minutes more, even if it means skipping the screaming-in-pillow step
Warm shower, cold rinse, shea butter.
