Is the oil-cleansing method right for you?

Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links.
I know lots of people have tried it and loved it. I tried it and it did absolutely nothing for me. My skin didn't get worse, but it didn't get better either, and it was a lot more work than my usual routine of washing my face in the shower. I do use facial oils (particularly rosehip oil), and I like them, but this routine just didn't give me results. And now I'm stuck with this big bottle of nearly-expired castor oil that I don't know what to do with.

If you follow this link (from Paula's Choice), you can find a detailed critique of the claims made by proponents of this skincare routine, and you can also find a link to the routine itself, in case you want to give it a try (it is pretty cheap). I'm linking to the critique first, because the fans of this method can have a weird, almost religious, way of trying to spread the word, so I think it's better to start with the negatives before you get sucked in completely. There are people who like it, but the same thing won't work for everyone, even people who seem to have the same skin type.

Have you tried the oil-cleansing method? What did you think?

Clean Up: Disposable Face Cloths (and Baby Wipes!)

I am really fucking lazy when it comes to washing my face. I do it when I shower, but I really have a hard time motivating myself to do it before bed. That means that, although I know it is terrible and wasteful and ugh, I use those pre-moistened disposable face cloths fairly often. These are the ones I’ve found to be the best so far, in terms of not clogging things up and causing breakouts, and being pretty cheap. They’re basic, not smelly, and not full of useless/irritating crap.
