About

I made SKINCARE FOR SCUMBAGS to provide an alternative resource for people, like myself, who feel like outcasts when they read content relating to self-care and healthy lifestyles. I wanted to write something that was raw, vulgar, sympathetic, and honest. I wanted to write guides for those of us who struggle to get out of bed every morning, as well as for those of us who haven't slept at all.

Listen, I don't have any qualifications and I'm certainly not a dermatologist. I'm just a really fucked person that happens to be obsessed with skincare. I love skincare, I really do. All of the balms and serums, the lotions and oils, the little apothecary droppers, the smells, the textures. Most of all, I love the feeling. Even in the deepest pits of self-hatred and depression, when the whole world is muted and grey, doing skincare adds a little bit of light.

I realize that there's a lot of misinformation regarding skincare, so if I tell you something it will either be cited or based on my own personal experiences. I also won't recommend any product that I can't wholeheartedly vouch for. I prioritize finding and testing products in that low-cost, high-value sweet spot, and I'll also be throwing in some DIY guides for stuff that you can simply make at home. Lastly, none of my content will be AI generated. This blog is 100% Natural Unintelligence.
