love the skin yr in (and SEO your takes on other people's, I guess)

A good portion of Woman Twitter is aflame today because of this laughably clumsy Outline take on how skincare is solely the product of capitalist machinations and like come to think of it, soap is kind of capitalist too and our medieval brethren sure didn’t need it except, I guess, like, during the plague (can u guys tell which side I’m on).

But whatever your feelings on serums & face masks are, you gotta lol at how this piece spends all its time dragging notorious skincare brands like Glossier and Drunk Elephant and yet….makes sure that when it comes to that SEO, it’s tryna capitalize on search engine queries to those same brands for the #clicks:

Moral of the story: capitalism is a flat circle, and also, do what you want to your face, but don’t tell us what to do with ours. (for a much more nuanced skincare take for the 2k18, read Jia Tolentino’s, of course.)

Like Deez Links? Forward this to a tinted moisturizer w/a dece SPF. actually JK forward that magical moisturizer to us plz.
