Today in things I don't quite understand:

Why do so many products marketed to be used in daily routines boast > 24 hour funciton / protection etc.?

Skin creams, deoderants etc.

No shade - I'm not saying I'm the best at doing everything every day always.

When a "daily cream" is boasting 96 hours protection though, it's just kinda confusing

I am a longtime and deeply grateful fan of EWG's Skin Deep Database for looking up ingredients in personal care products.

If you have specific health concerns, or you're trying to lower the toxicity of products in your home, it's a wonderful resource.

One thing #covid and hiding out at home dissuaded me of was the desire or need to shower everyday. I’ve even rationalized it by telling myself that when I go a day without showering, I’m being a very good environmentalist and water conservationist. #personalhygeine #showerthoughts
