What are your thoughts and feelings on moisturizing? Should it be subject to criticisms from radfems?
I always thought that only soap and moisturizer are really necessary. Soap to keep you clean and stink free, and moisturizer to keep you from itching / cracking / peeling / generally feeling unpleasant from dry skin.
However, I recently saw someone say a "hot take" that most lotions and moisturizers are just scams, all they do is evaporate and leave a residue on your skin to trick you into believing it moisturized you and did something.
I'm feeling skeptical of this. I live in a very cold and dry climate, so my skin cracks and bleeds from dryness if I don't moisturize. But I'm wondering if maybe there might be some weight to this, with some moisturizers it really does feel like they don't do anything, so this might be true at least for cheaper moisturizers maybe.
What are your thoughts and feelings on moisturizers? Do you think some moisturizers are just a scam to get money?
- I think none or very few moisturizers are scams that don't actually do anything
- I think a lot of moisturizers are just scams that don't actually do anything
- Most or all moisturizers are just scams that don't actually do anything

if you have dry skin sure but no need to spend $40 on it. its like buying tums in my opinion you use it when you need it to solve a problem

If I don't put lotion on my face at least every second day, my face will start to peel and crack allll on its own, and it will itch horribly. I tried to ignore it for years, but that's just what it does. Using lotion improved my quality of life
Idk man I’m on Big Skincare but humectants and occlusives are good for you.
