Some people will do the most INSANE shit for skincare. To be clear I love my skincare routine, but it's just cleanse, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen. SALMON SPERM? Be real, for just a second. Is one less wrinkle worth putting sperm on your face like that? 😭 Skincare culture is insane, aging is not that bad!

how would dry paw pads be treated? i know skyclan would probably steal coconut oil, but what about the other 4?
MEGA easy. So easy I would need to put it as a footnote in a bigger guide on "skincare" including rashes, balding, and pelt conditions.
Flax oil + beeswax or animal fat. Any one ingredient will moisturize, but combine flax oil and one of the other two to make a real lotion, leaning more heavily on the oil-side. It is that simple.

That [no-makeup makeup] is meant to disappear flaws, then disappear into the wearer — to appear to be “no makeup;” to look “clean” — speaks to the making of modern femininity, which, Susie Orbach writes in the foreword to Aesthetic Labour: Rethinking Beauty Politics in Neoliberalism, is “marked by a concealment of the work of body making.” The labor of making one’s effort invisible is “so integrated into the take up of femininity that we may be ignorant of the processes we engage in,” according to the author. “We are encouraged to translate the work of doing so into the categories of ‘fun,’ of being ‘healthy’ and of ‘looking after ourselves.’”  Payment for this kind of labor comes in the form of privilege. Embodying the beauty ideal elicits better social treatment, more attention from teachers and supervisors, greater job opportunities, higher pay. To vanish into beauty is to become visible as a person. (“Beauty isn't actually what you look like,” sociologist Tressie McMillan Cottom writes in Thick: And Other Essays, “beauty is the preferences that reproduce the existing social order.”)  “It’s interesting to note that there’s psychological research suggesting we view women as less human when they wear a lot of makeup,” said Dr. Renee Engeln, a professor of psychology at Northwestern University.  Maybe the “five-minute face” is a plea: See me. I am invisible. I am human.

I stopped using regular skincare and started washing my face with the turmeric tea tree bar soap from this shop (which is indigenous owned btw) and my skin is now clearer than it has been in years, and not dry either even though I’ve stopped using a moisturizer too. They also sell a Have a Nice Face Bar specifically formulated for your face that I’ve used too but the tea tree tumeric one makes my whole body so so soft and I like the simplicity of using just one product, plus tumeric is a great anti inflammatory and anti bacterial and gives my skin a pleasant sensation.

Reading this article about skincare obsessions in children (read:girls).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This makes me so sad. First of all, it’s not ‘kids’ participating in this; it’s girls. It’s almost entirely girls. The fear of aging, the desire to “participate in beauty rituals” (read: be indoctrinated into beauty culture and learn from a young age that your natural body and face aren’t pretty enough) is so closely tied to the policing and hatred of the natural female body. Your skin doesn’t have to be smooth, pale, glowing, and flawless for you to be healthy, but this extreme skincare masquerades under a façade of ‘self care’ or health. It’s just a way to sell you more horrendously expensive products and take up more hours of your day before you feel ‘presentable’.
These girls are being primed and prepped to move onto expensive makeup from younger and younger ages. The beauty industry LOVES this, they love profiting off your insecurity. Misogyny thrives off of this. If you have any amount of skin imperfections, you’ll be told you’re unhygienic or gross or lazy now. It makes me so mad, and it makes me even angrier that this trend isn’t being recognized as the harmful sexist reinforcement of beauty standards that it really is.

Stanley Cup
Tumblr media
This cup turned from a cute hydration machine into starting a literal cult😭
I can’t believe kids are being bullied and picked on at school for now having this overly expensive ass cup.
I’ve read in articles that someone’s daughter legitimately got bullied by her classmates for having a dupe of the Stanley or even using a water bottle that’s similar and got picked on.
First of all what happened to being a kid? Why when I walk into Ulta or beauty stores 6 year olds are in skincare sections fighting me over some cleanser? Now I’m all down for hygiene but get your children off of TikTok and let them go outside and be kids before it’s too late because this shit right here is crazy.

The discovery of “photoaging” has created a phobia of the sun entirely unrelated to the risk of skin cancer. […] this sun-phobia mentality is severing the bond between women and the natural world, turning nature into the fearsome enemy of the male tradition’s point of view. The beauty myth stimulates women’s fears of looking older in order to drive us in the opposite direction: indoors once more, locus of the separate sphere and the Feminine Mystique; the proper place for women in every culture that most oppresses us.
— Naomi Wolf (1990) The Beauty Myth
