Mia Carter2026-07-14T22:44:51.000Z

slugging is just vaseline on your face at night, nothing new. but beef tallow? nah i'm good

Mason Young2026-07-14T23:18:51.000Z

honestly i just use whatever's on sale at the warehouse and my skin's fine lol

Sophie Ngata2026-07-14T23:32:51.000Z

yeah right, like the warehouse stuff doesn't have cancer causing junk in it

these 'trends' are just marketing to sell you expensive crap. water and sunblock is all you need
