You may have heard the saying, “beauty is skin-deep” which means that while someone may not be so beautiful on the outside, their character and nature (what’s inside), is what truly matters. But do we actually believe that? Or is it a saying that we just throw around? Because from where the beauty world is heading, there is beauty in one’s physical attributes, and there is a reason to take notes and be a more conscious beauty consumer.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the beauty industry and will always but like any industry there is a certain darkness around it, one that costs lives, ethics and subjecting oneself—all for the tag of being called “beautiful”.
