Thanks for this subject - my own experience fwiw - skin reflects physical and mental health if you have sensitive DNA - like asthma, eczema, psoriasis apparently on same cluster. Luckily I dont have lots of spare cash so on top of NHS prescriptions for Oilatum n such, I'm trying olive oil, make up, solution of epsom salts, going easy on the steroid creams .... getting in the sun v important ......and not least and most of the time, forgetting about it. Hope this helps haha. Nah good subject. Can relate.
Oh, facts. Came here for basically this: skincare is healthcare, especially if you're of the ilk where low moisture > eczema > psoriasis.
Preventing cancer and preventing infection (acne, boils) are not unusual skincare goals.
These are reasons I do skincare for me, for my health. This skin IS an organ.
My routine is about 3 drugstore products; 4 if including cleanser; 5 if I'm actually going out in the sun all day and put on sunscreen. My time invested is quite minimal.
The broader point: we need to live to our own standards, is spot on.
