simple skincare tips!

🌼eat the foods that love you back. your skin is a direct mirror of your internal situation. if your digestive system is being bombarded often by foods that create a lot of wastes and residues, that does more harm than good. and so, the struggle to eliminate them will be reflected in your skin. your diet constitutes the vast majority of your skin health. change your meals to be whole food plant based (still delicious, satisfying, and exciting) & watch your skin glow and your skincare routine simplify.

🌼be conscious of what's going on your skin. the skin layers can be over-cleansed, imbalanced, and aggravated when the skin microbiome and pH are disrupted. if you wipe out the beneficial bacterial populations with harshly formulated products, you may find that you break out (i.e. harmful bacterial populations begin to thrive). use gentle, simple skin formulas such as castile soaps, natural oils & butters (i recommend jojoba oil for mostly everyone), natural soap bars, and clays. most commercial skin care products disturb the skin cells (introduce too much foreign material to the body, unsuitable pH ranges, imbalance the microbiome, etc). they sell because it's convention to buy them, the brands are well-known, and their sales pitches are enticing. but really, no cream or serum will ever be the magic potion your skin was asking for. it will only be a band-aid, at best. truly healthy skin comes from diet, and the products are just for any other necessary maintenance. if you get a pimple, you should look first to why the pimple emerged, not what treatment will remove it.

🌼keep your lymph flowing. simple ways to do this are through good lifestyle habits. things like doing exercise & sports you find fun, breathwork, dry brushing, eating lots of fruit, avoiding wearing bras & other tight clothing items, lymphatic massage/gua sha can all be helpful.

🌼focus on hydration via fresh fruits and veggies. the water within plant foods is more useable to your cells, and your skin will cease being overly oily or dry overtime (especially if you reduce/eliminate your salt & oil intake). it will also help to encourage lymphatic flow, so you can see problems like blemishes, cellulite, old scars diminish after great consistency.

🌼allow your skin to breathe. this is especially good if you spend time in stuffy (poorly ventilated) indoor environments, like offices, hospitals, planes, etc. one great way is via herbal facial steaming (i recommend it 3x a week or so). make a hot infusion of an aromatic tea, cover it and allow it to cool a few minutes, and, with closed eyes, allow the pores to open and receive the herbal medicine (this is a great time to meditate, manifest, and just feel pampered). getting more fresh air, working up a sweat, and going to a sauna are also ways to allow your skin to breathe.

🌼avoid steroid prescriptions creams at all costs. they are very deleterious to health in the long term, and they can be very painful to come off of. it's not a real fix. it's not worth hurting your kidneys & adrenals for. evaluate your diet instead. do you eat dairy? choose plant-based dairy options instead (they're simple to make yourself too). do you eat a lot of fats? try oil-free cooking methods instead (opt for sautéing with a bit of water, baking, steaming, air frying, etc). avoiding eating out as much.

🌼be aware of what you're putting in your hair as well. your shampoos, conditioner, leave-ins, gels, moisturizers, oils, serums, etc all tend to touch your face too, when your hair touches your face. if they wouldn't be good enough to put on your face, don't put them in your hair. a lot of the best skin cleansers are also suitable as shampoos. a lot of oils and butters can be used for both. plant-based gels like aloe vera or flax seed are simple to DIY, and are dual-use once again. basically, this will simplify your life.

🌼understand the water that runs through your pipes. if your shower and tap water are like most people's around the world, they aren't optimal for our skin. for example, they contain added chemicals to sanitize the water but that can prevent the proper microbiomes from developing on your skin. a weak skin microbiome is prone to skin issues. so, try to use distilled water on your face (if you're not able to get a water filter, a gallon jug at a store is affordable. they're about $1.30 USD in my area).

I was informed of famous 10 year olds at sephora and while I do agree with the general sentiment of things should not be like that it's not for the reasons zoomers have pointed out. It cracks me up immensely:

KIDS SHOULDN'T BE ON SOCIAL MEDIA PARENTS GET IT TOGETHER

Oh you mean like when we've dialed back our birth year to join Facebook and avoided adult family members' requests like a plague

KIDS SHOULDN'T PARTAKE IN CONSUMERISM

Oh you mean like owning 50 slightly different barbie / Bratz dolls? I've owned 20 plastic horseys the only difference was their color. They all got names. They are one and the same horse

PARENTS SHOULDN'T BUY THEIR KIDS EVERYTHING

Oh you mean like equating the peaks of your childhood with obtaining the newest shiniest object? Also who knows how rich these people are, for them 500 $ at sephora might really be pocket change

WHY DO THEY USE 15 DIFFERENT PRODUCTS

Oh like when you use 11 daily? 5 different moisturizers, a sheet mask, 2 serums and 3 products you swear are doing something

KIDS ARE GROWING UP TOO FAST

maybe. so did we. I vividly remember those mock makeup sets from 2nd grade

IT IS ALL FOR THE AESTHETIC

girl. girl. check your fyp. check your saves. I beg you

I AM NOT JEALOUS OF KIDS I AM CONCERNED

speak for yourself I am both

Also. Since the dawn of time the younglings were imitating adults. If we weren't filling shelves upon shelves of various skin fixes, doing spreadsheets with active ingredients and mixing different concoctions at different hours like funky little alchemists maybe the kids wouldn't be trying to copy that.

And maybe if we didn't portray skincare as habit of good health and wellbeing instead of beauty regimen we wouldn't have had counterpoint such as "The sooner they start the better"

And maybe if we didn't do baby botox at the ripe age of 22 the literal kids wouldn't be using retinol serums but only a little.

Maybe.
