Let's be clear...

skinblooming's thought offerings

- clear skin is a faulty, highly inaccessible standard

- holistic, sustained routines are generally more effective than one-and-done solutions

- performing your love languages on yourself can be a beautiful practice... and if your languages include physical touch and quality time, I suggest you try practicing a skincare routine

Supporting "small" businesses/ merchants is key to me

When it comes to suppliers, I'm prioritizing buying my ingredients from other "small" businesses when I can.

As of now, 2 of my 9 suppliers are "small"/family-owned businesses. I aim to increase this number as I go.

Self care enhances community care

I live by this, and with that, I plan to donate 16 percent of skinblooming's net profit to support orgs that act toward Black and queer futurity

16 percent to Brave Space Alliance
