no more 20+ step routines full of products targeting made up issues created by corporations. no more ā€˜anti-aging’ tags. less is more. aging is normal.

i no longer view skin care as an aging thing. I just want to take care of myself and that is all.

Why should we spend thousands on anti aging, anti-wrinkle products when smile lines and blemishes reflect the times we have laughed, smiled and lived?

i agree. we wouldn't be spending so much on skincare if we all just agree that aging is okay. like a tree, getting old means surviving and thriving.

A 10 step routine is officially cheugy SORRY. Let the natural textures ā€œdiscolorationsā€ etc come through. Self hatred is a trillion dollar industry. Trying to fight your skin is giving in to that. True Acceptance… there’s nothing better.

i don't know who needs to hear this (me. i need to hear this. i wrote this rec for me.) but late-stage capitalism influencers reaaaally want you to believe you need to have this whole grand 15-step skincare routine with all the little gadgets and gizmos or you are doing something fundamentally wrong. hear me out here - you are fine. the only thing they are contributing to is the ever-growing need to consume and the systematic destruction of your skin barrier. as long as you wash your face regularly and put on some sunscreen every morning, the rest is mostly just for the vibes.

Okay, so I fell into the tik tok trap of trying to look like a teenager for as long as possible, and I told my dermatologist to prescribe me retinol. I used it, like three nights a week, and then got so obsessed with the false belief I had in my head that it was making me like a doll, I was using it almost night...yikes. But THEN, I went to a facialist and the second I walked in she was like ….ā€you’re using retinol, aren’t you?ā€ and she told me it was irritating my skin and that I should stop immediately. She told me to stop with all the serums, the at home peels, the 200$ lotion, and instead wash my face with Klorane’s micellar blue cornflower water…random lol. And to use Avene’s Cicalfate+ cream by pressing it, not rubbing it, into my face over and over again. I’ve never had a more minimal skincare regime in my life, of course I still use SPF every morning, but stripping back on all the glamorous goops has seriously improved my skin texture and my overall vibe. Also, I’m saving so much money because I’m literally addicted to buying skincare, and now I feel like I’m not allowed to, and I have a weird religious school instilled thing where I don’t really do things i’m ā€œnot allowedā€ to do lol. More on that in my next album.

No Spotify playlists; burn me a CD with your favorite songs. Write me a little note on the CD holder and I’ll keep it forever.
