I'm scraping together a stack of pennies towards my first foray into facial aesthetics. I used to have uncontrollable hair and smooth, hassle-free skin. Now I've got the hair under control but, frankly, I could tie the bastard skin in bunches. I look like a bloodhound crossed with an old shoe. Advice, please: I'm a poverty-stricken writer in a squalid garret. What procedures will cost least and make the most difference?
