transponderings, 9 months ago @ashleyspencer @actuallyautistic Confession: I wash my face far less often than most people would expect me to That’s partly because of sensory issues and partly because I forget When I used to wash my hair in the shower every day, that was when my face got its daily wash too Now I only wash my hair about 2 or 3 times a week, and those are the only guaranteed proper face washes I do 😳 I think the main sensory thing for me is a feeling of not being able to breathe: it’s a very stressful part of a shower I also dislike anything slimy on my face, so I very rarely use moisturisers and almost never wear makeup I do put sunscreen on during the summer (on days I go outside!), but don’t really like that either #ActuallyAutistic
