I really hate to have to report on what I just read about, but it all comes with the territory of researching skin care and acne cures and such like: there’s a cosmetics firm in China ( which sells to Europe ) that’s using dead skin to develop beauty products. Perhaps this isn’t all that glamorous, but the company is using the skin of people who died by execution.
The cosmetics firm allegedly uses the skin of condemned convicts who’ve been shot in their developing of products like lip collagen treatments and wrinkle treatments. Some of their products have just been reported apparently, having been exported to Britain. When challenged, company heads reply this practice is standard, recounts a writer for Levine Breaking Stories.
They also say that there is absolutely nothing to ‘make such a huge fuss about.’ But as the same writer tells it, there are moral concerns for those developing and then for those using the products. Also he notes that there’s potentially a likelihood of infection for those enjoying the vintage skin creams. Perhaps the company and others like it have no concerns about ethics or health. Perhaps the same have actually just about nothing to do with acne cures either.
Then again, perhaps the offenders are escorts in the Soy lent Green time, using the flesh of the dead for financial gain. Probably , they’re bringing on a new wave of diseases or sicknesses along with their findings. What concerns us should then be what goes into all our youth recouping, our cosmetic regimes, our acne cures.
Oh yes, when we have got the disheartening external flaws of acne-whether we are youths or twenty-somethings or pregnant mums of strung out fathers we are inclined toward acute solutions. We’re going to go to great lengths to normalize, to clear up skin and slot in with the beautiful folk, the unhurt, the oil-free. We are going to buy and try the over the counter acne cures, or will perhaps resort to home-made acne cures, we will suffer and fall prey to the experimental acne cures of the inventions of science and medicine.
Hell, when I used to be a teen with intolerable zits galore, I succumbed to the newest acne cures, using things to the likes of Tetracycline that probably could cure 20 strep viruses all at once, using lemons and vinegar and scrubs with sand in them, and using what the doctor prescribed prior to it being completely tested: Retin-A, a mixture we mixed in with straight Vodka and burned away layers upon layers of dermis with.
But I’m worried and curious as to what I’d do today if someone offered me some cure for acne in a bottle or jar that had on its ingredients list an item too closely resembling the dead skin of a criminal’s ass. OK , so we abstain from the ethics, and we let go of the stupid fuss over health worries. What about the cosmic passing of a malicious soul or an unjustly convicted, condemned, and executed man or woman by way of her or his skin thru our pores?
