[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone with bad skin, makeup allows me to walk out of the house in the morning feeling good about myself. I feel bad for men with bad skin who aren't allowed to do anything about it. [/quote]

"Bad" skin - another social construct.[/quote]

Gosh I never thought of it that way.  I feel so much better about myself now that I realize the giant inflammed cyst on my chin and the small zits I get on my forehead and jaw every month the week before my period like clockwork are just a manifestation of Societal Pressure and The Patriarchy keeping me down and not at all due to genetics, hormonal imbalance, and my unique body chemistry.  Thanks to you I no longer need to waste my hard earned money on the regime my dermatologist prescribed.  She's obviously a shill for the Industrial Beauty Machine and doesn't give a crap about my wellness.  I feel free for the first time in my life!

NP here.  PP, check out motherdirt.com.  This AO+mist has helped one DD with eczema and the other with acne/blackheads.  It's a whole different theory of skin care; it argues that we wash off the good bacteria that break down oils and keep our face clear and skin healthy.  The spray puts it back on.  We have a mini-fridge in our upstairs bathroom just for this stuff.  Works wonders.  The website cannot talk about the health benefits yet because they are still running trials, so they market a little vaguely.  But you can read about it on their science-oriented arm...you can find a link to it on the website.  Basically, just like scientists are finding out that the gut biome composition is important, our skin biome composition is important as well.  Because of my DDs eczema I've delved into a bit of this.  I hope you try it.[/quote]
