Five minutes free write: Beauty at what cost?

Hello friends it's nice having you here again 😊

Anna, a beautiful slender lady with caramel skin, was bired and decided to check what's been happening on the media. She brought her phone logged in and began scrolling. As she swiped through her feeds, a disturbing video caught her attention.

In the video a brown skin lady of average age was covered in a weird substance all over her body. Another lady approached her and began pouring water over her and as the water washed away the substance, the lady's skin tone suddenly transformed from her initial color to a fair complexion.

Anna's eyes widened with shock as she looked at what was happening.
"My God", this is an acid bath she exclaimed, her voice filled with concern. This sudden change un her skin color could only be achieved using harsh chemicals, in which the clients are unaware.

They where made to believe that everything used are natural and purely organic. She couldn't help but wonder the repercussions of such.

She asked herself, do they know the risks behind all these? The damage, they could be inflicting on their skuns, health and well being which may likely occur in the future?

Hmmm, she shook her head disbelieving that people could subject themselves to such because of low self esteem and societal pressure and values. She continued to watch and only felt a deep sense of sadness wash over her.

Anna kept wondering what underlying issues could push people into doing such. She scrolled through a little more and logged off. All day she couldn't get her mind off that video.

Thank you for reading
