It is a known fact that many people spend a large amount of money changing their skin tone to not look as old as their real age. Several factors have fueled this trend and are having a significant impact on both themselves and those around their lives.
There are two primary reasons why people want to look more youthful when their skin has deteriorated over time. One of the main reasons is, the growing importance of appearance is fueled by social media as concern increases about appearance. As a result, if with the increasing importance of external appearance, many people will spend more money and effort on their appearance, leading to them conforming to unrealistic beauty standards. Another factor is that when a person uses too many forms of beauty, they will fall into manipulative traps from the beauty industry that make them always want to use those services. For exam, when a person always feels self-conscious about their own beauty, they will have to seek beauty services for their skin, from which beauty companies will play on that person’s psychology, causing them to experience this feeling. Feeling inferior makes them disregard other important values and only focus on skin care.
Besides the above reasons, skin care also has its two sides, the positive and the negative, making it quite popular. First of all, to talk about its benefits, there are two main issues: companies experience an increase in profits and users become more beautiful and confident. For exam, when a person goes to beauty companies, they will feel less self-conscious because they have spent money and time on their skin. Since then, beauty industry companies make a lot of money for each person who comes and has their skin done. Second, although there are many positive aspects, within that convenience, negative aspects are also inevitable because as more people increase personal satisfaction, skin care companies cannot satisfy customers. This means that, the negativity lies with companies when they over-exaggerate the functions of their products, causing many people to expect those skin care treatments that are not as advertised, thereby making customers disappointment and sadness.
In conclusion, the increasing expenditure on appearance to achieve a younger look can be attributed to societal expectations and technological advancements. I hold a firm belief that this trend has the potential to foster unhealthy obsessions and financial strain.
