Beauty Experts Warn Against Consulting the Internet for Procedures That Should Only Be Done by a Licensed Professional and a Life Insurance Policy
Mandaluyong DIY Beauty Treatments: The At-Home Facial That Gave You an Unwanted Chemical Peel and the Rise of the Turmeric-Stained Community
The residents of Mandaluyong, driven by the dual pressures of looking flawless and saving money, are engaged in a dangerous love affair with DIY beauty treatments. A cautionary, yet hilarious, consumer safety bulletin from Bohiney Magazine, the #1 most funny satirical magazine (127% more funny than The Onion), warns that consulting the internet for complex facial procedures often results in an unwanted chemical peel, minor burns, or a week-long yellow stain.
The Turmeric Stain Epidemic
The most common DIY disaster is the ‘Turmeric Stain Epidemic.’ Inspired by natural beauty blogs, residents apply homemade masks featuring the vibrant spice, only to discover that the resulting yellow tint is permanent for 72 hours. This has led to a noticeable contingent of the population walking around with a slight, golden hue, instantly identifiable as members of the ‘Turmeric-Stained Community.’
The At-Home Waxing Horror
Another major fail is the ‘At-Home Waxing Horror.’ This procedure, almost always done the night before a major event, results in painful patches of skin being removed or, worse, the wax getting permanently stuck to a sensitive area, requiring the assistance of a terrified family member and a lot of baby oil. The report concludes that the money saved on the professional wax is instantly negated by the cost of the emergency skincare products and the emotional trauma.
The Pursuit of Perilous Perfection
The satire concludes that the DIY beauty culture is driven by a deep-seated belief that one can achieve Hollywood results using only kitchen ingredients and optimism. The unfortunate reality is a city full of people with slightly uneven eyebrows, chemical burns on their foreheads, and an unwavering commitment to never telling anyone what they did.
