The Gospel & The Skin Care Scam

If you came into my house after 7:30, you would find that I had transformed from regular Mallory into avenger Mallory. Every night, after I shower, I take 90 seconds to put on my Frownies, small cardboard like tape that helps keep my wrinkles at bay. Why? Because I am as vain as the next person and while I don’t get Botox, I still would like to have a smooth forehead. So, know from the get go that I enjoy taking care of myself. I wear make up, buy serums, and generally try to look put together and fashionable. It is because of this that I have noticed myself getting sucked into the skin care industry and all its empty promises. In this episode of the Gospel &… we are going to dive into some the cultural trends surrounding skin care because it reveals to us exactly what happened to us after the fall. God created women and placed His unique beauty into us as part of our nature. This is something that is part of us. We didn’t have to do anything to get it and it is not based off of what we happen to be into. Whether you consider yourself to be someone who loves feminine fashion and makeup, or you would never put on a dress and haven’t bought something for your face in ten years, God made you beautiful.Why then can’t we see it? Why is it so easy to see in someone else, and so difficult to pin point in ourselves. The Gospel has something to teach us here so I hope you will join me for the conversation. As always, I would love to hear from you. People have many different takes on this topic so let me know yours!! If you want to dive into my other work you can purchase my book Rekindled, or one of my Bible Studies. And of course, I’d love for you to share this episode with a friend so we can grow the show!Trying to stop wasting money on my vanity, Mallory
