Congrats on "honing" in on your skin condition. It sounds like a lot of experimentation to find the ideal combo. Best of luck.

Not much to add from the above, other than brush.

Although badger will be softer, I wonder with the multiple allergies if you may also be a canidate for a synthetic brush.

Also once you come to your ideal process, I imagine this will be valuable info for you to share with with other forums that focus on this unfortunate condition.

Thanks for sharing
