That isn’t what I meant — if I am understanding your comment to mean that you thought that I was saying that skincare is feminine so people who avoid feminine things should avoid skincare. I was saying that people shouldn’t fear something due to its perceived femininity or masculinity — the hypothetical fact that skincare is feminine should be of no consequence to one’s own interest in it.
Thank you for the community recommendation!
Men, it’s okay to care about your skin. It’s not feminine, it’s human.
I find the “feminine” premise of this argument silly. So what if it is feminine? Is there something inherently wrong with femininity? It’s one thing to simply be somewhere on the spectrum of femininity and masculinity, but it’s another to fear that position and to force another based on one’s insecurity of the perceptions of others.
Pretty much all of the world of Hollow Knight — ie Hallownest. It’s just such a cool and immersive world. It contains such cool architecture, design, and environments.
Roasting community?
Lemmy_at_em rolls off the tongue better, imo.
That’s a lot.
Do you mean that something in my routine is unnecessary? Or are you simply stating that, subjectively, it feels like a lot?
Your post is basically an advertising campaign for several of these products.
Is it? I only stated the products that I use for the purpose of clarity, example, and critique.
But by far the majority will be just fine without them.
This is conjecture.
The human body had millions of years to evolve to a point where companies seem to think they can replace essential functions of it?
That’s partially the purpose of modern medicine [1].
Medicine is the science and practice of caring for patients, managing the diagnosis, prognosis, prevention, treatment, palliation of their injury or disease, and promoting their health. Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.
You missed the word “some”.
No, I didn’t.
Ha, yeah, I know I’m being pedantic, but I strive to be precise and consistent in my word use.
You do realize your body is supposed to maintain itself right?
Of course some people will actually need some stuff because their body doesn’t do it well enough
You have answered your own epiplexis.
I think this is one of those cases where the burden of proof is on the person using the products, not on the one not using them.
It would be, were I advocating for the products, which I am not. Perhaps you misread @PureTryOut@lemmy.kde.social’s comment: They were making conjectured claims, which I called out.
Humans beings like to exchange ideas and experiences with eachother without being forced to show scientific evidence. Maybe you don’t, which is fine, but maybe not tell others what to discuss then?
I’m not forcing anybody to do anything. If one chooses to engage in conjecture, then that is their own prerogative, though, of course, I will dismiss it as such. There is also the ethical dilemma of choosing to not be a servant of Truth.
Why don’t you go and read scientific papers if you are not interested in opinions and claims?
The burden of proof lies with the claimant.
The liver stores vitamin A for years and vitamin D for months so you don’t need to supplement daily but adjust the dose.
Do note that there is a difference between dietary/systemic vitamin A, and topical vitamin A (there are also different types of vitamin A [2]) — one is ingested, and, thus, metabolized in the gut, and the other is absorbed directly into the skin. Dietary vitamin A, is used by the body for the skin [1.1], but topical retinol provides a greater concentration (more targeted) to the skin cells [1.2], and allows one more control over the dosage [1.3].
Vitamin A through food is very important for skin healing, as it helps modulate the immune system and reduce inflammation. It also comes with a lot of antioxidants that target free radicals and protect the skin from damage, which is why it’s an essential vitamin to have in your diet.
It’s a targeted solution that can help reduce pigmentation, boost skin hydration, and support cellular turnover.
[…] you have more control over the dosage [of Vitamin A applied to the skin].
Vitamin A, as a broader term, encompasses a family of compounds known as retinoids, including retinol, retinaldehyde, and retinoic acid. Each of these has different strengths and modes of action on the skin. Therefore, replacing retinol with another form of vitamin A may not yield the same results.
All skincare products are loaded with microplastics and hormone disruptors.
Do you have any proof for that claim?
You can, at least, do that externally through RSS:
