a year later and this is still so relevant. just this week i’ve been wavering between continuing my “feral girl” summer or purchasing a few “minimal” skincare products. your writing is so concise and informative and has had a huge impact on my relationship to beauty. thank you for saving my $$ and saving my spirit too haha. can’t wait for the book. and i’ll say i love how you look at the root of these issue and tie it back to colonialism, sexism, racism, capitalism, etc. knowing where beauty culture stems from has had a huge impact in my personal ability to divest in it
