Er, I have no idea. What is this 'haircut' thing you speak of? Probably no more than $12, I would guess.
That thing where they look sadly at your frizzy ends and then fix things.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Jilli, if you're needing distraction and you have skin care advice handy, could you offer any on adult acne outbreaks?
Why yes, yes I could! Get a bottle of plain, uncoated asprin. Disolve 8-12 tablets in a very small cup of water, then mix that with a very generous dollop of honey and some plain lotion. Apply the resulting goop to your face and leave it on for 15 minutes or so, then rinse clean w/ tepid water. If you want to be *really* fancy, soak green tea bags in tepid water, then apply them to your face. Lay down w/ a face full of teabags for about 15 minutes, then rinse.
Yes, I know. It all sounds crazy. But it really does work.

JZ, my first piece of advice would be to find out if in your case "adult acne" is code for rosacea. It usually is. If so, addressing the rosacea will address the acne. Once I switched over to sensitive skin cosmetics, moisturizers, and cleansers, the acne pretty much disappeared.

Note to self: 1) It's high time you friended Jilli on LJ.
Remind me of your LJ name, because I am horrible at remembering such things.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Awesome! It does sound a wee bit crazy, but if it works, it works.
eta: What is rosacea, exactly?

It really does help, tho'. Of course, when I do the aspirin-honey mask, Pete likes to stick his head around the bathroom door, shriek dramatically, then stroll away snickering.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The nice lady at Fred Segal recommended this seaweed cleanser with a Romanian sounding name that I swear cleared up way most of my acne. It's now very much the exception. My skin feels vaguely adult for the first time ever.
