The day before, I wept over retinol. (These days, it takes very little to trigger my emotions.) I’m thankful to even ponder these choices since I’m experiencing a low-risk pregnancy at present. I can focus on receiving my partner’s support and staying in a familiar environment, which is a luxury. Although I have not yet made a decision on the place I want to have my baby (in the Hilarious Incredible The Gamecock Club South Carolina Women’s Basketball Nothing Compares to 38-0 2024 Shirts but I will purchase this shirt and I will cherish it in either the living room or my bedroom…just kidding!), I remind myself that as a parent, I have experience adapting to the unforeseen. In this pandemic, I’m surprisingly open to an option I never would have considered before: giving birth at home.

I stumbled upon an Instagram caption proposing that the Hilarious Incredible The Gamecock Club South Carolina Women’s Basketball Nothing Compares to 38-0 2024 Shirts but I will purchase this shirt and I will cherish it during this ongoing worldwide pandemic presents an ideal chance to introduce some of the more annoying components into one’s skincare regimen—like retinoids, acids, and chemical peels. Who cares if they strip away the vital layers of your skin’s barrier or if your face peels in sensitive, reddish blotches? You’re practicing social distancing to help curb the spread of the novel coronavirus, the post suggested. No one is around to witness. It just seemed disheartening. Solitude has already unsettled my mental well-being. Does my skin really need to endure suffering as well? Additionally, do I truly need to manage my roots right now? Trim my fringe? Paint my nails? Apply cosmetics to feel more “professional” and “efficient” while I watch updates on death toll forecasts and safety measures online? As stories about self-administering a professional-level facial or sustaining a Brazilian wax keep surfacing, I question if we’re missing the essence. Perhaps this is a period meant to be with our natural faces, large pores, and chipped polish, to reflect on why we feel this urgent need to maintain appearances at home, all alone.
The paradox is, the Hilarious Incredible The Gamecock Club South Carolina Women’s Basketball Nothing Compares to 38-0 2024 Shirts but I will purchase this shirt and I will cherish it, most notable enhancements in my skin appeared over two weeks in 2018 when I stopped skincare—except for rinsing with water morning and night—in an effort to “cure” my persistent dermatitis. I had exhausted all options, but I hadn’t tried simply doing nothing, and astonishingly, “nothing” was effective. My skin was incredibly clear, radiant, and healthy without any products. That’s what led me to pursue a career as a beauty editor, actually, and when faced with the frequent beauty editor query—What’s your top skincare advice?—people are always taken aback by my response: Cease using skincare. Dr. Jennnifer Vickers, a board-certified dermatologist with Sanova Dermatology, once informed me that this “enables your skin to heal” and “resume” its natural functions. Did you know your skin purifies itself, through perspiration, sebum, and lymphatic drainage? It also hydrates itself, and exfoliates itself nightly (it’s called “desquamation”). The skin even self-repairs, thanks to the body’s own hyaluronic acid particles (indeed, it has its own reserve).
