Another week, another incident where Millie Bobby Brown has done something and the internet has lost its mind over it. And the crazy thing she’s done this week? Her skincare routine!
To recap, the Stranger Things actress shared a video of her “nighttime skincare routine” that shows her removing make-up from her face using products from her new Florence by Mills skincare line.
However, it is pretty obvious MBB isn’t using her own products and is doing nothing more than rubbing dry hands over her foundation-covered face. She does put on lip gloss so it’s not all a farce.
Given how the internet loves MBB for Stranger Things while also hating her for literally everything else, folks unsurprisingly started dogpiling on her for the video and were unrelenting in calling her out for her skincare “routine.”
The whole thing is ridiculous and the saga has since take a turn for the stupid as MBB felt compelled to issue out an apology to everyone for doing something incredibly offensive as rubbing her dry hands over her face and filming it on her phone.
But here’s the thing: why is MBB even issuing out an apology for something as low-stakes and inoffensive as a video about her skincare routine?
MBB’s not automatically the devil simply because she doesn’t use their own skincare products. She’s far from the only celebrity who doesn’t use their own stuff. It’s also very likely that she was given some hectic skincare routine by a dermatologist and she doesn’t want to mess it up for the sake of video views.
And here’s the thing people seem to forget: she’s only 15 years old. Who hasn’t done stupid crap or been an asshole when they were that age? If everyone started issuing out apologies for every dumb thing they did as teenagers, we’d spend the rest of our lives saying sorry.
Millie Bobby Brown’s apology was completely unnecessary and she can do what she wants, whether it’s washing or not washing her face. What’s it to you?
