yassss! skin care has become ridiculous. somebody had to say this out loud.

[@BertRussie]

Is someone forcing you to do any of those 😅

[@HT-pl8du]

@@BertRussie no but yes. beauty standards are ridiculous, so people tr to fit them and it causes people going too far: surgeries, skin bleaching, just taking up too much headspace of people. (nothing against the people who get cosmetic work safely)

[@animitasaha2245]

Yes, wrinkles and lines on someone's face are the proof of all the stressful parts of life the person has been through. They could be worn as battle scars.

[@ToastAbrikoos]

Just the same as stretch marks, those things happen. They are natural. Those are our battle scars and Tiger stripes. It sounds stupid but it's better to throw in many cremes and (snake) oils to make that all go away.

Being someone who never really took makeup and skincare seriously in college I feel a pressure to start doing it now as a responsible adult but it is so complicated and overwhelming!

[@rheakg]

Okay but just in case you want to start (Ps I’m assuming that your over 25) Morning: cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen (reapply sunscreen a few times a day) Night: cleanser, retinol (it can be in cream or liquid form) , moisturizer Also don’t feel pressure to start using skincare it’s just for fun

[@this_mundane_life]

[@visualbeauty3427]

[@QueenKunta]

Dr. Dray on KZbin is a good place to start! There are a few other good dermatologists I recommend as well. I’ll get their YT handles and edit this comment to add them! Other recommendations: Dr. Simi Adedeji, Dr. Sherene Idriss and Dr. Alexis Stevens.

[@this_mundane_life]

@@QueenKunta thanks! That would be very helpful.

[@naomireanna]

I used to have so much anxiety during lockdown when literally every person I knew started following long skin care routine while I did absolutely nothing. Thankfully my dermatologist told me that just because it works for one person, doesn’t mean it’ll do the same for me. And since she knows my skin type, she advised me that the best thing I could do is to keep my skin care routine simple. Thank god.

[@royaneekhalil6488]

I agree. Think I am gonna do any skincare that goes beyond 2 steps? Nope 😂

What’s wrong with bad skin anyway, it doesn’t hurt anyone else. Society has become so superficial. Other ppl are more concerned about my grey hair than I am.

[@adinalifvakt8037]

Yes, exactly, I feel like as long as it doesn't hurt, like dry skin can be itchy and for me bleed sometimes(on my hands in terms of bleeding) but still it's not anyone else's business. Just be happy. Okay, my rant is done

[@gummybear8154]

My pimples hurt my face

its bcz it can get rly sore. and it can affect your health. your skin is meant to be moist and soft and stuff. its not always abt superficial stuff. generally its good to be healthy and not wear much makeup.

I stopped at Clinique’s Step 1-2-3 back in the 90s. (Yes yes. I am your 47 year old Auntie). Not that it was bad. I just did not need to do all that unnecessary manipulation to my face. Daily face wash. Followed by a moisturizer. Once a week facial scrub. That’s about it. (If possible try to avoid wearing make up for long periods. And keep washing and sanitizing your brushes. Toss out old mascara, shadows and concealers. And lipstick).

[@independent-network.]

Good message thank you

[@rosahollander9497]

You need 4 items - cleanser, moisturizer, serum and eye cream. If you have other issues, then acne product or anti redness cream. Most of the steps are fluff. You have to take care of yourself.

True it is such a task to do a complete day and night skin care routine...I usually get breakouts on my face so I need to do skincare.. I persisted on it for about a month and then I was back to just facewash and moisturizer....

[@sonali9696]

I agree! I only do makeup for parties which are like once a month or so (in pre covid times) and now I have done it only one a year on my b’day in covid times. So my skin is naturally a whole lot better. Stay home, commute exposes you to a lot of pollution, maybe reduce makeup and your skin will be much better :) Atleast that’s what is working for me thanks to WFH.

[@ni3070]

1. Eat healthy and drink water when thirsty (clear skin is not meant to be achieved externally but internally. Clear skin indicates good health and youth, hence it's one of the rare beauty standards that actually make sense) 2. And since we live in New World order, if ozone is weak in your country use natural, organic, chemical free sun screens or else just use shawl and cover up to escape pollution in high heat and traffic scenarios. 3. Wash your face while taking bath, that's enough. But bath twice a day. And do oil bath as much as you can. If you really wanna incorporate a routine, just use all natural, organic, home made(it's not that difficult, refer to a channel called Wild Turmeric) cream once in morning and once at night, preferably just night. 4. Try and avoid makeup altogether and if you use, again go for traditional one. Just do this and come back to me, trust me you are gonna be fine. If the skin issues(this is only for general skin issues) persist consult A GOOD Ayurvedic doctor or even your regular health doctor to get health check up. This is some enlightenment I received, just wanted to share with you all:)

[@smallbean2.057]

Those aren’t the only causes of acne though for some people it just runs in their genetics also teenagers often get skin issues because of puberty even if they do all the right things. And some people can’t afford to bathe 2 times a day because they don’t have that much money for water in some places. Also a lot of doctors in poor places aren’t as educated in skincare and the people can’t afford a dermatologist. Not hating just saying.
