[Misc] A reminder to not get too caught up with skincare

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I know this is probably a controversial take here, especially because the sub is about skincare after all, and that I'll probably get downvoted. But I need to make this post and I hope someone can take something positive from it.Many people come here asking for advice, and some questions who seem absurd by itself but are understandable are met with absurd answers. No, you don't need to apply sunscreen AT NIGHT. You also don't need to put 100 products on your face. And yes, celebrities have... pores. No one has airbrushed, photoshopped skin in real life. But celebrities also have millions of dollars to hire personal estheticians+have access to the best doctors, clinics, products.The idea we should fight aging is only ingrained in women, and skincare's main audience is women for a reason. You shouldn't feel bad for having normal skin texture, or wrinkles, or fine lines. You can do your best to look after your skin, and that's fine. But giving one's best shouldn't mean giving up fun and freedom in order to look 50 when you're 55. There'd s a certain danger to tanning culture and overexposure to the sun (I live in Brazil, I know this), and it's not a bad idea to avoid it. I'm not even saying you shouldn't wear sunscreen. But let's be real, most people (women) aren't doing it out of fear due to skin cancer. It's for esthetic reasons. And esthetic should NEVER keep you from living, from going to the beach, from absorbing sun rays, from having fun, from smiling because fine lines or whatever.
