Woman claims influencers lie

In a TikTok video, Ntathu Zungu can be heard saying that she is sick and tired of the lies that influencers share on their platforms, claiming to use or promote certain products to make money.

Ntathu is an example of an influencer promoting skincare products for a brand for acne or other skin issues, yet they have never had problematic skin.

"You can't highly recommend something that you don't even use. Don't lie to us, be authentic. I think campaign managers are also part of the problem as they expect influencers to speak so well of a certain product, but at what cost? It's a lie. We know that you do those laser skin treatments and brightening peels," Ntathu said.

She alternatively suggests that influencers rather be honest about their skin and say they will try out a product and then provide an honest review after using it for some time, instead of just saying "it's the best" or they highly recommend it.
