I already hadn’t been washing my face much with cleanser by that point, but fully retiring the makeup felt like the final piece in a long-simmering face-products puzzle: What if I just stopped doing all of it? Makeup, face wash, moisturizer. So yeah, now I just wash my face with water, once a day, at night, in the shower. No more or fewer breakouts than before. I’d say my skin in general is “combination” and “red” — dryer in winter, oilier in summer, easily flushed. It’s less red than it used to be, which I attribute mostly to sobriety but also to not drying it out with face wash . I think it’s also because I’ve been exercising more and eating better: less sugar, dairy, and processed foods.
It started out well. “I’m of less-is-more when it comes to face-wash camp,” said Dr. Arielle Nagler, an assistant professor of dermatology at NYU Langone Health. She doesn’t like aggressive, exfoliating scrubs or washes, either. “People like them because they feel clean afterward,” she said, “but they also promote inflammation, which can lead, downstream, to negative effects, including acne.”

Passersby Feel Sorry For Aging Deep Blue Sitting At Washington Square Park Chess Table All DayNEW YORK—Saying that it seems no one has engaged with the blank-screened twin-rack supercomputer in weeks, neighborhood sources felt sorry for IBM supercomputer Deep Blue Friday, which has spent its retirement sitting at the Washington Square Park chess tables. “Deep Blue used to be a legend, right up there with Nate Archibald and ‘Sweet P’ Plummer. Today, hardly anyone wants to play with it, and not because of its brute-force, quasi-artificial-intelligence approach to the game. It’s just a sad, old, washed-up box to these kids,” said park regular Natalie Bryant, who described watching disinterested park-goers walk right past the electronic chess player without recognizing the formerly beloved world champion. “You just feel so bad for Deep Blue. On top of the world back in the day, but now it’s just—I mean, it looks dirty and I think that smell is coming from it, too. Sometimes, I think about bringing it inside, but I don’t know how to approach it or even what language it uses.” Regulars of Washington Square Park said the retired computer “seems completely fine” with simply entering sleep mode and spending its cold, lonely nights on a park bench.
