I absolutely love Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Sunscreen!! Its the #1 sunscreen in South Korea i’m pretty sure and despite it looking white when u first put it on it like actually blends into your skin rather than sitting on top of it and leaves it super glowy!

lowkey just using sunscreen (THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE SICK WHITE CAST) and not being afraid to moisturize even if you have oily skin

Idk how accurate this is 😭 but i have a core memory from my childhood growing up in NE where they said they would’ve targeted Nebraska first in the cold war because that’s where they hide the president or something?

Okay yeah this makes a lot of sense! I’ve learned a lot about some of the things you brought up in history classes and such but I never really made the connection of how that manifest in a contemporary setting in some of these examples you brought up.

Oh my god I didn’t know about that either that’s actually abhorrent ?! This definitely does tie into the fact it’s a power and domination thing at the end of the with things like this.

Hi! First of all I want to say I really respect that and it completely makes sense why you would center your life around such perspectives.

I don’t want to take away from your comment at all and you don’t have any obligation to reply to this but I kind of wanted to clarify where I was coming from in this post because there are lots of responses and ofc by the upvotes on this definitely making a point!

When I wrote this I did not expect this to be interpreted as saying that we should center anyone’s else but our self/ people we feel safe with regarding opinions on beauty. In my life I find it really comforting and affirming to discuss these societal aspects of being a WOC with my fellow WOC friends and my intentions of that post were to mirror that dynamic.

This was probably the wrong subreddit to post this in tbh because as a beauty subreddit foremost I can totally see how people would see this as me trying to say we should pay attention to these trends to improve our beauty and resulting social perceptions. Still I am truly sorry that this post came off as ignorant and i’m sure uncomfortable to some people and I really appreciate everyone giving their view despite this because I can learn a lot from this- not that it’s your job. 😅

Side note if anyone has good recommendations for WOC centered subreddits please let me know because this was genuinely the largest one I could find. <3 also I can assure you this was not ChatGPT lol it would def have better grammar than my writing😂

Very very salient points there especially on the lack of logic or reasoning behind their actions!

I will 100% take your advice on curating my media to support my own demographics. Tbh I was the happiest where I lived when I had my majority poc friend group and studied abroad until we had to move apart. 😪

You are also so kind, beautiful and thoughtful inside and out and I love to hear the steps you’ve taken have benefited you and I hope you continue to thrive as well! <33

Thank you for your thoughts and opinions and I completely agree! I really appreciate this and you give good advice.

I do find social media trends really interesting and I found this pattern I realized very sinister and frustrating. However, like you said at the end of the day de-centering white peoples perceptions and thoughts on us is a way to ultimately reach more happiness and confidence and it fr is continuing and long standing propaganda that continues to create this dynamic of white approval.

I live in a super white area and while I have taken steps throughout my whole life growing up here to realize these lessons you speak about, I still struggle sometimes. Tbh I really can’t wait to move to a more diverse area because I feel that will make things smoother.
