I love this article Zeynab. I have this conversation often with my clients, especially since I specialize in cutting natural texture, my clients often feel overwhelmed by the routines social media are telling them are necessary to look good and wear their natural texture. I recently wrote about "natural aging" trends that are incredibly time consuming and how therefore out of reach for certain groups of people. It's here if you'd like to check it out. https://mirrormirrornewsletter.substack.com/p/the-privilege-of-ageing-naturally
I was thinking about this the other day. My partner does absolutely nothing and I do something every evening - micro needling, face yoga, stretches, retinol, omnilux. It's bullshit.
A few years ago there was the idea of the 'beauty number', some shameful yet coveted achievement for how many products you used on a daily basis. Does anyone remember it?
