Beauty Tips For Body Care
Don't get me wrong, I'm an addict as well, so I'm not trying to shit on your dedication or anything. But I am an addict because I want to have nice looking skin, and it seems like the "health" aspect is very important for most people here. And most watch in horror when somebody puts baking soda on their face regularly (even though their looks are their business). Many don't wear makeup, even though it could hide spots. Acne is an illness, just as rosacea etc. but besides altering your looks in a negative way, they don't have any physical effects, do they?I've never even thought about this myself, until some time ago when somebody said skin care (beyond washing your face) was a waste of time, and I already wanted to reply "but TEWL and acid mantle and pimples and..." and then I thought "wait... that does sound kind of pointless".
