Whats the weirdest thing I put on my face in the morning?

I have a relatively complicated skincare routine, comprising seven steps in the morning ending with sunscreen) and an eighteen stage one at night. But after actually glancing at the labels, it dawned on me that my selection of not just beauty, but Asian Beauty products that I smear on my face, may be a little strange.

So I am leaving it up to you, the fabulous denizens of Jolt Country, to figure out what is the strangest thing I smear on my smooth, toned, bald head.

Plump, well moisturized, and cared for skin.

Okay Pinback - how do YOU pamper yourself?

With the knowledge that no matter how self-obsessed I could possibly get, I'll always be a solid, distant second to you.

That would be a peel mask and yes, uh... Yes...

Around these parts, this one is a favorite:

I bought a small bulk supply of a "Restore my Rosey Glow" clay mask quite a while ago and tend to use it on my "off days."

Don't you enjoy black facing yourself with beauty supplies from Korea and then slosh rose clay on it for that "perfect" feel? Why not be beautiful on the outside as well as the inside?

Why do Asians waste money on skin products when they are naturally gifted with the skin of angels?

For example, here is a very typical 50 year old Asian, and don't give me any "creams are doing this genetic miracle" bullshit:

Okay Billy, your little quip is about as bonehead as saying "Ugh ugh, you are a prodigy at <math> so why bother practicing?" And kinda scares me coming from a grown ass man.

You know why? Because you in truth said "I don't actually want to have a discussion that won't reinforce my own limited or complete lack of understanding of the subject, so I'm going to jump to conclusions based on my own ignorance while using redneck, "beat you for saying your dad can beat mine" logic."

How about we actually talk about skincare without applying your BS logical fallacies? In that context, here is an example of partly what Bai Ling likely does:

Jessica Jung is 27, was a member of a fairly big pop band in Korea called Girls' Generation and now has a pretty fulfilling solo career. Now I'll let my patience show and give you a minute to take a look at her: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessica_Jung

She is one of those "Asians" with "naturally gifted skin" you say? Well... Part of the reason IS THAT THEY TAKE CARE OF IT. Carrying a parasol, large brimmed hat, wearing sunscreen, and having even a basic morning and night routine is part of that.

Don't believe me? Lets take a look at what she does on a regular basis to keep it up -

I stopped counting steps, but it easily falls into the same sort of standard routine even I practice as she cleanses, applies essences, etc, etc. So pack your small minded, racist (the "Asians waste money" statement just hit me,) excuse for intellectualism and hike it back to the Troll Room you piece of shit.

Why is it now racist to compliment other races?

"My answer to this question is that Racism is discrimination against a fellow human being only because of ones race. Stereotyping, puts a group of people falsely together, not just because of race, but in generalities and always false, i.e. All people from France are mean."

That would not be racism since the French are not a race, and France is a multicultural nation. It would just be an ignorant stereotype, and it would be ignorant based off of its demeaning characterization.

Saying all people from France are kind wouldn't be racist. I don't see how saying something positive about the French would be at all a negative thing, just as saying something positive about a certain race is not a negative thing.

It's obvious Retro is trying to get that "porcelain skin" effect, you know, like what Michael Jackson tried so hard to be, and failed, i.e. white, and that, if even the slightest impact happens to your face, it shatters like a toilet struck by a ball-peen hammer.

This sure does seem like a lot of trouble.

When you have oily skin you can cheat. Here are my exquisite products:

- Irish Spring bar of soap
- Barbasol shaving cream
- Skin bracer aftershave

I can even skip a day!

ooh Billy, you're the master persuader, ooh yeah you did that thing where you quibbled with a word to distract from your ignorant intolerant bullshit. I want you inside me.

It's not quibbling when the word is central to the concept in question. Here are several examples from this thread that should clear up the differences between demeaning and complimentary when determining what is racist:


Demeaning:
RetroRomper wrote:Don't you enjoy black facing yourself with beauty supplies...
This comment is very demeaning towards black Americans and is racist.
RetroRomper wrote:while using redneck...
This comment is very demeaning towards rural white Americans, it is further demeaning under the assumption that I must be one since I am also white, and is racist



Complimentary:
Why is that? wrote:are naturally gifted with the skin of angels
This statement was used to state my belief that Asians have very pretty skin and is not racist.
