Pampering 8.01

I'm a girl, and I suppose that means I enjoy pampering myself more than the average guy.  Of course, guys in my age group probably don't have as many acne problems as I do.  I have finally found something that seems to be working (Skinceuticals Retinol 0.5, used every other night), but even so, my skin gets that "congested feeling" and I have a collection of facial products, so I felt like doing a whole slew of them today.

1.  Wash face in shower, let pores open up, use a salicylic exfoliating wash
2.  Use a charcoal pore-clearing mask
3.  Now that pores are nice and clear, use an anti-acne mask (contains camphor, sulfur)
4.  Use a skin calming mask (mushroom based)
5.  Use the Retinol tonight

It seems like a lot, and I don't do it often - maybe once a month, but it seems to help - and it's been a while since I started right out from the shower, so maybe it'll penetrate better than usual.  I have links to the products I use - I don't generally like Origins anymore because a lot of their newly formulated stuff has given me allergic reactions, but their older stuff is still good - and it's just sitting in my cabinets at home, so why not use them?
