To think about the lengths we go to to find acne cures is to take us in the direction of the most recent skin care efforts. I hate to have to report on what I just learn, but it all comes with the territory of researching skin care and acne cures and the like: there is a make up firm in China (which sells to Europe) that is using dead skin to produce beauty goods. Maybe this is not all that remarkable, but the business is employing the skin of people who died by execution. The cosmetics firm reportedly uses the skin of “condemned convicts” who have been shot in their developing of products like lip collagen remedies and wrinkle treatments.
A few of their products have already been circulated, apparently, having been exported to England. When challenged, company heads respond that this practice is ” [traditional conventional]“, says a writer for LBN (Levine Breaking News). They also say that there is “nothing to ‘make such a big fuss about.’” But as the same writer tells it, there are ethical concerns for those developing and then for those using the products. As well, the reporter notes that there is ” potential problem of infection” for those indulging in the “harvested” skin care products.
Maybe the business and others enjoy it have no qualms about ethics or health. Perhaps the same have nothing to do with acne cures. On the other hand, possibly the offenders are ushering in the Soylent Green era, utilizing the flesh of the dead for gain. Possibly, they are bringing on a new wave of sicknesses or diseases. What concerns us should therefore be what goes into all our youth recouping, our beauty regimes, our acne cures.
Yes, when we’ve the frustrating external flaws of acne—whether we’re teens or twenty-somethings or pregnant mothers of worried fathers—we are given toward extreme solutions. We’ll go to great lengths to normalize, to clear up skin and actually be fitted into with the stunning people, the unscathed, the oil-free. We will attempt the OTC (over-the-counter) acne cures, will end up with homemade acne cures, will suffer ourselves to the experimental acne cures of the innovations of science and medicine. Hell, when I was a teen with insufferable zits galore, I succumbed to the “latest” acne cures, using strengths of Tetracycline that could cure twenty strep viruses immediately, using lemons and vinegar and scrubs with sand in them (it felt like), and utilizing what the physician prescribed before it was fully tested: Retin-A, an answer we mixed with straight Vodka and burned away layers of dermis with.
But I am concerned and wondering what I would do today if someone offered me acne cures in a bottle or jar that had on its ingredients list an item too closely resembling the dead skin of a criminal’s ass. Alright, so we forego the ethics, and we discharge the “silly” fuss over health problems. What about the cosmic transfer an evil soul or an unjustly convicted, condemned, and executed woman or man through her or his skin through our pores?
