My immediate thought was that it was some sort of appalling veterinary surgical implement!
Now that I know what it actually is, I must express my lack of impressedness. I pride myself on my ability to open jeely-jars and bottle-tops with ease when mere puny females can't!
You what now? “Wash face. Dry face. Apply moisturiser.” Oh man, do I envy you. I wish I didn't have such problematic skin (took me nearly 20 years to get it under control, and keeping it that way remains a bit of a chore), but there's nothing to be done about it.
While I'd love to see us leave petroleum behind, I'd be very sorry to see air travel disappear. My world is already such a small one, even just having the hope of being able to go somewhere else taken away would make it shrink even more (considering the only person I really want to travel to see lives in NY). Plus, my Dad lives in Switzerland, so that would also mean the end of seeing him.
Problematic skin is such hard work. I've never had it on my face (!), but I had extremely sensitive skin when I was younger, and had to use hypoallergenic soaps and unscented lotions until I was an adult.
Those are compelling reasons not to lose air travel capability. I'd lose the ability to visit my parents (who live on the west coast of the USA). I guess with the loss of petroleum, we wouldn't be able to travel long distances by sea for leisure reasons either, as I don't think there are many other fuel options for large ships. :/
I really only had problematic skin on my face in my teens and early 20s, which I think is fairly typical (and I'm sure was exacerbated by being a member of a generation prior to the current one -- who all seem to know all about healthy skin regimens and how to properly apply makeup, which mine did absolutely NOT get educated on!), but it's my skin everywhere else that's given me issues for about 20 years. I do have a great facial regimen now though which just makes it nice in that I really don't have to wear makeup anymore? Outside a small spot touch up here and there occasionally, but have a really healthy glow overall, which I like a lot. Considering the line I use isn't expensive, I don't mind investing in taking better care of it in my 30s, which my mother has always insisted is the last best period in which to really moisturize and do the most you can to help out with aging later, so I figure so long as I can manage that, why not? But yeah, until the last few years or so, the skin on my body was MADDENING. No one was ever able to

I used to wear sapphire jewelry when I was younger - I feel like I should take that up again. :D
