[Misc] You only need three products for flawless skin, apparently.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I met my good friend’s new girlfriend the other night (gotta love the vaccine). She’s sweet and GORGEOUS, with the most perfect skin I’ve ever seen. Seriously, she looks airbrushed with zero makeup on. I don’t remember exactly how the conversation turned to skincare at one point, but this girl looks me dead in the eye and says “you have nice skin, but you’re using too many products. As a [first year] pharmacy student, I can tell you all you need is a 2.5% benzoyl peroxide cleaner, generic moisturizer, and sunscreen for perfect skin.”I was so put off. I’ve worked very hard to get my skin where it’s at (chemical exfoliation products are my HG) and my body acne has required so much more than 3 basic products. Not to mention that I have dry skin in the winter and use serums to help hydrate, or that I use a retinol to help with my fine lines.It really bothers me that people can be so pretentious about skincare, and seem to know what’s best for EVERYONE because they’ve never had to struggle with their skin before. Moral of the story: skin care is like health care, it’s no ones business but yours and your doctors (or dermatologist).
