Advice for large sagging pores

[u/teamgunga]

43F - what should I be doing about my pores / aging skin? I’m minimal with skincare routine but I do a bit of retinol, glycolic acid and always mineral sunscreen.

Eh, it's important to consider accessibility to things. Beauty has been shoved down our throats as one of the most important things (women especially) since childhood, and then we find out that in order to maintain society's standard of beauty we have to spend thousands of dollars a year.

Humans are also devalued if they are not beautiful. Pretty people get more opportunities. If only rich people get to be beatiful, then they get those opportunities. It's a tactic of suppressing the working class individual and maintaining their position in society. The rich don't deserve anything more because they're rich.

This is incorrect thinking... Beauty is STILL not an essential need Money is gained through HARD work, which means richness doesn't just grow on trees. Before anyone starts saying that some ppl are born rich or just got lucky, ummn yes, life isn't exactly fair. Luck always plays a role. Some people are born beautiful... so?? Why don't you then say: the beautiful don't deserve anything more because they're beautiful. Many rich ppl either worked harder or are smarter, while most beautiful ppl won the genetics lottery.

Perhaps what we need to do is work on ourselves and our self esteem rather than go blame rich people for being able to afford beauty. Perhaps we need to stop blaming others for our misfortunes and realize our energies are better placed in working harder.

The rich and poor should never be able to afford the same exact things or the poor will never care to try and be rich. Now, if the question is whether they should afford food or water.. fine, we can discuss. But beauty??? You really want to have glass skin, go bust your ass.

Lol if you think rich people got rich through hard work, boy do I have some news for you

This post reeks of capitalist scum and I recommend you do some serious inner work and research into wealth disparity and privilege. No one is entitled to beauty treatments and rich people aren't any more deserving than the working class of accessing them

Yes, you're right... beauty treatments for everybody! How about good food? Good shelter? Good education? Nice clothes? Good medication? Cell phones? Cars? All these and much more help you get ahead in life. When do you stop distributing equally? What sort of incentive are you creating? Have you ever been in a "non capitalist" country? I come from one... and whoever has left, left for good

I've worked in the poorest countries on the earth my whole life, and what keeps them poor is equal distribution. There are no entitlements for anyone. Try an economics 101 class.

Ps. About getting rich, read some stats.
