Marketing people prey on insecure people. It's not just guys. I had a girlfriend who would spend a fortune... Not even kidding on hair products, cremes, you name it. She was always jealous of my hair and skin and i always told her that i literally make my own soap and don't care about products. But on Instagram... Well, then just buy stuff from influencers i guess.
Oh this hits so close to home. She does not spend that much but also not little. Does a 20 minute routine every night and morning with like 5 different products.
Then goes and tells me she is jealous of my skin. I almost never wash my face directly even under the shower I just use water. And it's somehow so much better than hers.
I think that's the issue. Letting the body take care of itself with its natural oils and just cleaning it with pure water is pretty good I think. Could do with a once in a while light scrub to get bacteria out of course, couple times a week maybe.
Could do but I never did and have not really had any issues. She is constantly nagging me that I need to do skincare but I just cannot be bothered to do it for no gain. I do sometimes moisturise but that is it.
Definitely don't start anything, no. If your skin is healthy you need to tell her that starting now with a bunch of chemicals that the skin isn't used to will more likely do damage than good if anything.
