basing your self love on skincare is a horrible ass thing to do

like tbh imo your self love shouldn’t be rooted in anything capitalistic…yes we use certain things and buy certain things (like bath bombs etc etc) to wind down or look better (etc skincare shit) and that is not my point bc that’s okay, literally no one can separate themselves from capitalism and the shit helps sometimes. but when you base your self love on it? that’s when it becomes an issue.

self love is about the SELF and loving yourself no matter what you look like or what you have, self love is about loving who you are at your core. and skincare companies don’t want you to do that bc then you’d stop buying their products. they’ll always create something new to pique your interest and find another problem area for you to be upset with. there is no finding peace in capitalism and trying to make it seem that way is harmful to yourself.
