This subreddit is about skincare, and we’d like to keep that the focus. Disallowed topics include: haircare, makeup, eyebrows, eyelashes, etc. It’s fine if you’re having a chat with someone and you happen to share cat pics or talk about makeup, we won’t clamp down on that. But in general, we’d like the sub to stay on topic. We don’t allow politics except in the context of skincare, to make sure that the sub a) stays focused on its main topic and b) continues to be a pleasant place to hang out. - Follow our post requirements
