Ok, I realize this is kind of a ridiculous question but I’ve never heard anyone talk about it and I’ve thought about it a few times. So I’ve been developing my skincare routine and I’m thinking of adding some more intense things like dermarolling and acids. What do you do if you’re doing this like before bed, and then your SO wants to have sex? Like you want to be enthusiastic and available (at least I do), and obviously if you just have some serums and moisturizer on like it probably won’t matter, you can just clean up and like maybe wash your face again. But what about if your skin is more fragile because of more intense treatments?

I guess you could just say something like “be careful of my face tonight!” lol idk it also seems like it could be construed as a brush off like “oh I would totally love to get down but I have hundreds of micropunctures all over my face so I need to avoid any bacteria getting introduced.” Like even lots of kissing afterwards seems like it could be an irritant.

Even like with using a retinoid like, do you just reapply if you happen to get sweaty or something?

So has anyone actually dealt with this before? Do you have a system in place? Am I being paranoid lol
