    Lightbulb Your skin doesn't need skincare...

    Your skin doesn't need skincare...


    1000.jpeg


    Giving up (most of) your skin care can seem scary, but it doesn’t mean giving up “good skin.” After a 28-day cycle sans products, your microbiome will repopulate, your skin’s inherent functions will reregulate, and you’ll likely find you never needed 10 steps, or five, or even two. Self-sufficient amalgam of oil and water and squalene and ceramides that it is, the skin can’t help but glow

    My skin wants for nothing. It is lavished daily with all the buzziest beauty ingredients: ceramides and peptides, antioxidants and antimicrobials. Exfoliating enzymes, epidermal growth factor, stem cells, and squalene oil. Pre-, pro-, and post-biotics, plus a pore-clearing cleanser that balances my pH level. Collagen, of course, and hydrating humectants: glycerin, hyaluronic acid, lactic acid. Finally, a face oil—one that’s biocompatible and full of essential fatty acids.


    You may scan that list and think: in this economy? But let me assure you, no plastic bottles were squeezed in the making of this skin care routine. I haven’t used an essence or eye cream in years. I don’t need to. You don’t need to. The human body produces all the aforementioned chemicals on its own. It uses them to self-moisturize, self-exfoliate, self-protect, self-heal, and even self-cleanse.

    These sorts of articles are counters to the marketing efforts by the companies that sell products, in this case skin care products. A better statement would say a healthy person doesn't need skin care.

    All thats really needed is, soap and water, a moisturizer with sunscreen for daytime and, a nighttime moisturizer before bed.......for women, men probably aren't overly concerned with moisturizing .

    Check with Midcan. I'm sure he has an opinion on it.
