Influencer Madness – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny.
What is the value of an influencer? I question it, sort of on a fundamental level. For starters, I don’t follow any influencers, yet somehow I continue to find interesting things to buy. Is it a feminine thing? Makeup and fad diets, something that a heathen like me wouldn’t have any interest in? Because all honesty, just because I have no use for something, that doesn’t mean that it’s not useful.

She, like many women, experiments with face masks. She makes her own, once a day if she’s healthy. Yes, it’s feces.
She slathers poo on her face. Her own; she’s not a weirdo. She puts a clothes pin on her nose and lets it set a few minutes before washing it off and showing her shining face online.

“Of all the skincare ‘trends’, this is one of the strangest I have ever come across,” said Dr. Sophie Momen, a a London dermatologist. “There is absolutely no scientific benefit to your skin in using feces as a face mask.”
Plastic surgeon Mr. Tunc Tiryaki concurred: “Feces contain a plethora of bacteria, viruses, and parasites, including E. coli, Salmonella and helminths, which can cause serious infections and diseases.”
She’s Brazilian, but I suspect this level of stupidity could just as easily be going on in Sheboygan.
