Hair Catch-22

[superbadgirl]

I used to have bangs. I grew them out for a couple of reasons: 1) I have a relatively round, flat face and bangs simply made it look rounder and flatter and 2) blemishes on my forehead. Except for hormonal breakouts very rarely (those head for my cheeks, yay), my forehead is clear.

My current situation is the length of my hair. I want to say it's mid-shoulder blade. The problem is - if I wear it down, I get blemishes (don't know if it's because hair is hot and it irritates the skin underneath my clothing or what). But if I wear it up to clear up the blemishes, they are clearly visible and hideous.

I suppose I should just screw vanity and wear my hair up to clear them. It's getting warm enough that walking outside makes me a bit toasty, and hair doesn't help. But I genuinely like wearing it down sometimes.

What a ridiculous thing to worry about, really. I'm a silly girl.

Can you cover them with concealer, or does that make them worse, too?

[superbadgirl]

I've tried that. Sometimes it works, sometimes it makes them look worse.

Ah, twell. I shouldn't be such a vain creature.

What do you use to wash with? I started using the oil cleansing method and it's working rather well for me.

Uh. My hair? Shampoo. Organic tea tree by JASON. Or do you mean what shower gel I use to scrub my back?

/is unreasonably perplexed (Supernatural fried SBG's brain enough to make her talk about herself in the 3rd person)

Duh. I was thinking of you face. I was still fixated on your forhead. Sorry!

[superbadgirl]

Heh. I wondered how there could be a different answer than 'shampoo' regarding how I wash my hair. ;)

As for the face - tea tree gel in the morning, Dove at night.

What if you put your hair up when you're at home? Would partial air exposure help?

[superbadgirl]

I do that, usually. :(

I've got an ugly, moley back anyway and shouldn't expose it. But during the summer, it's awfully nice to get the hair off my neck and I tend to wear slightly more revealing clothing.
