We’ve known forever that make up, even the expensive stuff, is damaging to the skin. Dyeing our hair is damaging. We’ve known for a long time that high heels are damaging. Tanning is potentially cancerous. Waist trainers are in style, which can be damaging. In the end, we all pick our poison lol 🤷🏻‍♀️ @Mellowgirl
