CMV: The make-up/cosmetics industry exists to fix issues it has caused

I saw a comic a few minutes ago on the frontpage, and it highlighted how men have less skincare issues than women, even though  they do far less in terms of maintenance.

Which got me thinking. Maybe women have such issues with skincare because they're required to plaster their faces with cosmetics, remove hair far more than men do, and generally put various things on themselves in order to meet some societal standard.

Which got me thinking even further. The skincare industry exists to fix problems it has caused.

Cosmetics companies advertise unrealistically beauty standards>women are compelled to wear make up to meet these standards>they develop skin issues because of this make up>they feel worse about their skin>wear make-up to compensate.

Obviously this is ignoring the people who do generally have issues with their skin, like dryness, eczema, acne etc. who probably need to take care of their skin more anyway.

The more I think about things, the more things seems like a capitalist conspiracy. CMV.

This is literally the purpose of marketing: to create a need people didn't know they had.  Almost every personal hygiene product from deodorant to toothpaste is a need created by a marketing agency.  

I don't know how to change your view when you've simply stated a fact.
