" Poling says your feet they will crack and the germs they will have the field day, Hattie
So she obliges, even though the body makes its own oil, if you allow the pores to breathe
Although try telling that to the women in her family who slather themselves in unguents and other toxic substances in the name of beauty
Then wonder why they get cancer "

― Bernardine Evaristo , Girl, Woman, Other
