No one needs this many body care products. And no one needs THIS many products to keep themselves clean. Large corporations tell us (mostly women) that we need to spend money on these "self care" products. They profit off of women's insecurities by telling us that in order to be beautiful, clean, smell nice, etc., we need to buy their products. But people literally do not need all of this to stay clean. What the hell.
