I have one or two (or three) phobias: I’m claustrophobic, I have gerascophobia (fear of getting old), and as of late, I’ve developed a new phobia: fear of dry vagina. There’s no actual term for that particular phobia — although there should…
I have to admit, I was never a fan of facial scrubs. Beyond the occasional peel or acid toner, I never physically exfoliated for fear of —I don’t know — tearing my oh-so-pampered skin off my face like in some spy…
