I bought a lipbalm from a coworker (she has a sidejob to do with skincare) it was expensive (for a lipbalm) tho it's a really nice product and she claimed it's 100% vegan
See where I'm going? It's not... Contains beeswax... I feel gross having to finish it now, I can't give it to someone else either (would be gross if I did) it's biological and not tested on animals at least...
I still think I should finish it as I paid for it, it works well and I can use it for a pretty long time... I never use anything on my face tho my lips get dry to the point of bleeding. I'm allergic to most lipbalms so I was happy I found one that works (but not vegan after all) after YEARS of random bleeding lips yep
Now another struggle: skin rashes on my hands (and since a few days in my armpits). I had this problem for ages tho when it moved to my hands I finally got annoyed by it... Hormone treatments don't help, tho I figured it has to do with the weather (problem occurs during the summer months) or at least... It's autumn now, but I STILL have these rashes, this is new... Some of my nails look ugly too... Bumpy and yellow-ish. I'm not lacking anything... It looks like psoriasis and I'm gonna see a doctor next week (tho here in my TRASH country, it can take months before a diagnose) I thought I should get some vegan handcream... Mission impossible! I finally found one, same brand as my shampoo, except the handcream isn't available in the store... Only in 2 webstores and in both you need to spend a certain amount of money or else you can't order AT ALL. Like wtf, I don't wanna buy all kinds of useless **** + shipping costs just so I'm able to buy that one product... Insane. Other brands are either way too pricey or contain ingredients my skin doesn't like... And I rather not spend too much on skincare as I tend to have random allergies, would be a waste if I can't use it...
Hmm I'm kinda scared tho as my doctor might prescribe me something unvegan... I make exceptions for medication (except from supplements, would kinda ruin the purpose of a vegan diet amiright) Skincare products I don't view as medication however, tho my hand rashes aren't a cosmetical issue, I'm actually in pain... But another hormonal treatment wouldn't be good for my skin either, only works temporary anyways... I'd literally refuse.
Another possible cause could be mold, my parents' house is full of it, every single room has mold... They don't do anything about it either... Skin rash can be caused by it, as well as breathing problems and dry/red eyes (all issues I have) I need to leave ASAP also for my mental health but it's so hard to find a house here... Already wrote a letter to the housing coorporation hoping they'd give me extra points....
