Part 9/13:

The widespread dissemination of unfounded beauty hacks and dangerous routines reveals how powerful and, at times, destructive social media can be. Many individuals are swayed by influencers promoting unverified or harmful practices simply because they read about them online. The cavalier attitude towards health—like applying poop masks or consuming unapproved substances—demonstrates how misinformation can lead to real-world harm.

Moreover, some influencers claim that their bizarre routines “work” because they saw it online, further perpetuating a cycle where myths substitute for medical advice. Experts warn that the overreach of social media has created a culture where aesthetic obsession sometimes overtakes common sense and scientific understanding.
