China’s Bizarre And DEADLY Beauty Trends - James Welsh

Instagram - james_s_welsh Unboxing Channel - @JaymesPlays1 Social media beauty standards are getting more extreme every year, but some of the trends currently taking over China genuinely feel...dystopian?! From the terrifying “high skull” trend involving filler injections and even bone cement, to the rise of “mask face” facelifts and influencers creating armies of cosmetic surgery clones, this video explores some of the strangest and most disturbing beauty trends on the internet right now. We’re looking at how filters, algorithms, influencer culture, and impossible beauty standards are pushing cosmetic procedures into increasingly dangerous territory and why this isn’t just a China problem. Because while these trends may seem shocking, social media is reshaping beauty standards everywhere. Inspired from @Wonnylol whose channel explores Chinese society, internet culture, and beauty trends in more depth!
