Fake Bums, Pregnancies, Fingers: Africa’s $6Bn Artificial Beauty Boom vs Trump’s Deportee Trade Race

Update: 2025-09-03

Description

Africa’s aesthetic beauty industry, led by South Africa’s $1.7BN market, thrives on social media and AI-driven beauty standards, threatening health but also fueling women’s digital commerce. Meanwhile, Trump’s 2025 talks with several African nations focus on deportation deals, contrasting Japan’s Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD) 9 $5.5BN economic pledges and countries like Kenya clinching $169M Samurai bonds. These divergent paths highlight Africa’s complex balance between cultural evolution and global political strategies.
