Hygiene Hauls are INSANE Overconsumption

Video Description

#hygienehauls #showertok #overconsumption Hygiene hauls on TikTok promote an insane level of overconsumption. They falsely represent overconsumption of hygiene products as a form of “self care,” showing off their aesthetic shower routines, excessive perfume collections and array of body butters, body oils and otherwise unnecessary hygiene products. In this video, I discuss the toxicity of showertok, hygienetok and perfumetok and how they spread an obsession with “smelling good all day” to the detriment of their followers’ mental hygiene.
