Skin Care Don’ts 🙅

Please don’t put lemon (or any citrus fruit) juice on your face! 🍋Lemon juice increases photosensitivity and can lead to chemical burns. There are safer alternatives, such as regulated AHAs for exfoliation or vitamin c serums for brightening.

BAKING SODA IS BAD FOR THE SKIN. I’m sorry, but it’s a fact. Your skin is acidic at a pH level of about 4.5. Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is very alkaline at a pH of 9. Throwing off your skin pH like that is not good for you. Toothpaste has the same problem; plus toothpaste has a bunch of skin irritants in it’s formula.

Don’t use nose pore strips. They’re a huge gimmick. Those black dots on your nose are sebaceous filaments, not blackheads. Look it up. They’re natural and can be minimized through proper cleansing and BHAs. Pore strips can make your pores LARGER and also cause broken capillaries. I’d personally like to tell Biore to fuck off with their shame-based marketing.

Avoid hot showers/baths. 🛀  I know, it feels great! Unfortunately, the hot water strips your skin of its natural oils, leaving your skin dry and unhealthy. Also, if you feel lightheaded after a hot shower/bath, that means you’re dropping your blood pressure with the heat. Again, not good for you.

If a product burns your skin, DON’T USE IT. The burning does not mean it’s “working”. You can have a tingling effect from exfoliating products, but they should never burn.

Don’t over-exfoliate. I want to cry when people say they use scrubs every day! You should exfoliate physically 1-3x a week, depending on your skin. You can chemically exfoliate more frequently, but you still need to be careful. Raw, red, and flaky skin is not cute. 😡

Don’t use a bunch of new products at once. Patch test; it’s always worth it. It sucks when you wake up in the morning with a bunch of zits and irritation and you don’t know which one of the 5 new products you tried was the culprit.

STOP TANNING! ☀️️ Sun exposure is THE worst thing for your skin. Sun exposure accelerates aging and puts you at risk for skin cancer. Avoid excessive sunlight and wear sunscreen every day. 

Be wary of essential oils. Sensitive skin can be easily irritated by these seemingly natural ingredients. Natural is not always full-proof.

Don’t be aggressive towards your acne! BHAs and tea tree oil are great PREVENTATIVE ingredients. Once you have active acne, time (and AHAs) are the only thing that will make it go away. You can’t scrub it off, sorry.

Don’t pay a premium on anti-aging skin care.💰 Anti-aging is all in prevention. Stay hydrated, limit stress, don’t drink (to excess) or smoke, and use sunscreen. No cream will undo years of damage, even if it costs hundreds of dollars.

Looking for thinspo I kept thinking “ughh I love her she’s so pretty but not thin enough to post” and that says a lot. You’re beautiful. Stay safe babes💖

just discovered the shoplifting community

oh my god.

there are a lot of delusional people on tumblr-this is one of the worst cases i’ve seen. 

if you are shoplifting for survival; i understand. i apologize for the tough situation you are in. 

if you are shoplifting for luxury makeup, cute clothes that only fit you, etc.; you suck. sorry bout it. there are so many employees who are punished for your doings. none of this is cute or brave, it’s disgusting. stop putting others at risk for a couple of earrings from Claire’s and 15 makeup palettes from Ulta. 

“cowards; you’re being ripped off by the system, by stores.” uhh last time i checked, exchanging legal tender in exchange for goods is a normal thing that helps companies and is fair to the purchaser??? if you think something is too expensive, don’t buy it :) (of course unless it’s a vital medication, etc.) 

oh, i almost forgot to mention~~stealing is ..wait…..illegal! so anti lifters are just ABIDING BY THE ACTUAL LAW (crazy, right????)

i hope ya’ll get arrested.
