Getting crossfaded on bottle of water and food i had for dinner

literally no dermatologist on earth says acne is caused by bad hygeine/lack of a skincare routine btw. its genetic. every single piece of research ever done on acne says its genetic. feel like i need to restate this every time i see a post about skincare

a few years ago i made an identical post to this and someone tagged it with “yeah ive known this from personal experience. because i once spent an entire summer not bathing and the only water that ever touched my face was from public pools yet i never once had any acne” and every single time i see someone talking up their skincare routine this info forces its way back into my brain

dont be a fucking dumbass on this post btw im serious. actually read academic papers on acne dont fucking post correlation is causation shit on this post. every person who has acne has a half dozen multi billion dollar industries constantly trying to convince them its secretly their fault against all published research as it stands. so don’t fucking help them

 all i know abt this is my skin was clear my whole life until i started testosterone . i didnt change my skincare routine at all . its liek 100% related to ur body & hormone levels . skincare helps with oil and dryness  but most of ur acne is genetic/hormonal . if u deal with acne too, ur not doing anything wrong, and ur not gross, its just how ur body works

we post our thoughts and feelings online because in real life no one gives a shit about them.
