This video is about de-influencing viewers and discussing the overwhelming nature of consumerism in the beauty industry.
The influencer trend and viral products are discussed, with a focus on providing reasons to avoid certain purchases.
The first product to avoid is hyaluronic acid-based skincare, as it may not be as effective as claimed.
π Using hyaluronic acid alone may not provide long-term moisture for the skin.
