The other day I snapped a photo of this lotion I saw for sale at the grocery store:<\/p>\n

\"lotion\"<\/p>\n

We’ve often posted on pointlessly gendered products. This, as far as I can tell, is a pointlessly pregnancy-related product. I couldn’t see a thing about it that was different than other versions of the same brand except that it says it’s for the\u00a0life stage\u00a0“pregnancy & motherhood.” If it at least said something about stretch marks that would make some sense, but it didn’t. On the back it just referred to dry skin and being formulated for a pregnant woman’s “special needs,” which were entirely unspecified, as was the way in which this bottle of lotion could address them.<\/p>\n

I went to the Cur\u00e9l website<\/a> to see what other life stages they identify. The website at least mentions stretch marks for the pregnancy\/motherhood formula, so that’s an effort to pretend there’s a point to it. There were two more types: “first signs of aging” and “menopause and beyond.” A chart showing the effectiveness of the anti-aging lotion:<\/p>\n

\"aging_chart1\"<\/p>\n

Of course, we have no idea what the baseline is, and while I presume the y-axis is %, it doesn’t actually say that. And apparently all women were going through a reverse-aging process that week, since even the untreated ones had a positive change.<\/p>\n

So apparently women get to look forward to three stages, all of which have unique hydration needs: you have a baby, you notice signs of aging, and then you’re old. I have so much to look forward to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
