Try as much as you can to only slather stuff on your face and body that you wouldn’t get sick from if you ate. I mean you don’t have to love the flavor or anything, but you are intentionally absorbing things into and through your skin, so take it into consideration the way you might read any other ingredient label for food.
Women especially are in this thing where they just run a train of chemicals all over themselves before they even think they are presentable, absorbing stuff through their hair roots, their nails, and their skin. Also their lungs with the shit they’re breathing in from the shit they’re putting on their bodies.
I’m not saying your body can’t handle it. Obviously, it’s doing that. And joy is truly worth it if it’s joyful.
But try using olive oil instead of lotion. Just do one forearm and compare it to your other one under your usual products. I think it’s going to give you better results.
Isn’t Sephora expensive?
