Moisturizer is just a heroin addiction for your skin. Do people even realize that if you use it more than a few times it causes your skin to need it to even function and like cigarettes you need to use it just to get your skin like it used to be.

People who use it for years and then stop will literally have their skin peeling off and cracking.

@freemo It is advised that young men not stop moisturizing and it seems to be effective.

@AmpBenzScientist Im more worried about women who tend to really abuse the fascial creams and masks... people often say how men age so much better than women, ya ever think it is the toxic chemical sup they cover their face in 24/7?

@freemo

And then come to the same conclusion about chemicals people put INTO their bodies.

@AmpBenzScientist

@niclas

As long as we refine that statement to "toxic chemicals" then sure... everything is a chemical :)

@AmpBenzScientist

@freemo

Yes, true. I was thinking of many medications and many food additives.

@AmpBenzScientist

@niclas

Most food additives are perfectly safe and its usually a lot of crazy people thinking its bad (the same sort of people who think seed oil is bad).. Like MSG is often seen as bad, it isnt of course, same thing with many dyes. That said, there are bad ones too of course.

Medications are a mixed bag, none of them are perfectly healthy on their own. Medication is always a balance between the risk reward compared with the underlying disease.

@freemo @niclas Nothing from nature is bad like aflatoxin or nitrosamines. Pop a tablet of something closely related to a molecule that naturally occurs in chocolate and oh it's very bad.
