Perfect skin has become the thinking woman’s quest. It’s normal today for people in certain circles to brag about spending most of their paycheck on serums. The latest skincare trends have a reassuring scientific cast: peptides, acids, solutions, and other things with clinical suffixes that are typically sold in small quantities for large amounts of money.
But all of this is a scam. It has to be. Perfect skin is unattainable because it doesn’t exist
And most skincare is really just a waste of money
These are some prime quotes from the article "The skincare con" by Krithika Varagur
The article tells a sorry tale of fortunes spent, skin ruined, and never-ending scientific wonder treatments guaranteed to give you perfect skin. Like the article says, most skin care is really just a waste of money and perfect skin is unobtainable - that is why models without makeup have shitty skin and in print even slathered with makeup have lots of photoshop applied. They are but clotheshorses to hang dermatological dreams on.
