It’s giving unwashed pillowcase energy and it might be sabotaging your skin, but nobody talks about it. #skincaretips #glass Yes, the same skin you’ve lovingly triple-cleansed, patted dry with a Turkish cotton towel, layered with essence, serum, moisturizer, SPF, and sealed with a mist that smells like expensive cucumbers. That skin. While you’re investing in barrier support and barrier repair and barrier resurrection, your water bottle—the one you half-clean, the one that’s been in your hot car for three days—is growing its own ecosystem. Except it’s not the kind of microbiome your gut wants, and your skin definitely doesn’t. Bacteria from moldy bottles can wreak havoc internally. Disrupted gut? Inflammation. Inflammation? Dullness, breakouts, redness—pick your poison. 
Then there’s the plastic problem. Bottles made with cheap plastics can leach microplastics and chemicals like BPA and phthalates that mimic hormones. You can’t out-serum that. You can’t retinol your way around microplastics. If you’re religious about what goes on your face, it’s time to get just as picky about what goes in your body—and what it touches on the way there. Start with a dishwasher safe, totally clear, glass bottle that’s clean, non-toxic, and safe enough to belong on your top shelf. Because glow doesn’t come from guessing. Pretty skin starts with smart choices. #bkr #skincarejunkie #mold #bacteria #cleanliving #healthyliving
