Footnote:

Cultural norms around substance use have evolved across generations and the lasting effects of those earlier influences remain evident for some. For many millennials, represented by author, growing up in an era where drinking, drugs, and partying were glamorized—through media, music, movies, and social circles—often normalized risky behaviors. This glorification created an environment where substance use was not just tolerated but, in many cases, celebrated, leading many into addiction without fully understanding the long-term consequences.

Millennials who grew up in this environment may have found themselves trapped in cycles of substance abuse, whether as a form of rebellion, a way to cope with mental health issues, or simply because it was what everyone else seemed to be doing. The repercussions of this early exposure and normalization of drug and alcohol use have left scars, with many still struggling with addiction or its aftereffects.

Gen Z, on the other hand, has shifted away from many of these behaviors, likely due to several factors:

Mental health awareness: There's been a significant push for conversations about mental health, self-care, and well-being, which has given Gen Z the tools to recognize unhealthy coping mechanisms.

Social media and transparency: Gen Z has grown up in a world where information is more readily available. They've been able to see the negative consequences of substance abuse more clearly and quickly than previous generations.

Changing social values: There's a broader rejection of the "work hard, party hard" mentality, and more emphasis on mindfulness, healthy living, and authenticity.
Despite this positive cultural shift, many millennials are left grappling with the aftereffects of their youth. Addiction often stems from deeper issues, such as trauma, mental illness, or societal pressures, and without proper support, it can become a lifelong struggle. It's especially heartbreaking when these behaviors are passed down or learned from others in their environment, particularly in times of desperation or hopelessness.

Thankfully, as society grows more compassionate and aware, there's more emphasis on rehabilitation, recovery, and destigmatizing addiction, providing hope and healing for those still in the grip of their struggles. However, the scars of past experiences often remain, both in the form of physical health consequences and emotional or psychological trauma.

Skincare is often symbolic of taking care of oneself holistically, from the inside out.

When someone engages in negative behaviors like substance abuse or neglecting their well-being, it often shows up externally—particularly on the skin, which is the body's largest organ and a direct reflection of our internal health. Things like dehydration, poor nutrition, stress, and lack of sleep (all common consequences of substance abuse) lead to dullness, breakouts, premature aging, and a host of other skin problems. In that sense, skincare becomes a way to "fight back" against the damage, not just physically, but also emotionally.

Quality ingredients are so important. Skincare rooted in high-quality, natural, or thoughtfully formulated ingredients align with the idea of treating your body with care.

It's a reminder that healing starts with what we put in and on our bodies—both in terms of products and habits. Just as addiction is often about replacing harmful behaviors with healthy ones, the practice of taking time for skincare can serve as a daily ritual of self-kindness and mindfulness.

Incorporating good skincare products and routines can be a way for people recovering from addiction or trauma to reconnect with their bodies and minds. It's not just about vanity but about rebuilding self-worth, recognizing that you deserve care, and slowly reversing the damage that may have resulted from past neglect.

This connection between skincare, self-respect, and recovery is powerful. It’s like an act of rebellion against the self-destructive tendencies of the past. By focusing on quality ingredients, you're promoting not only external healing but also an internal shift toward valuing one's well-being and future. It's inspiring how something like a skincare project can hold so much meaning.
