Is it dishonest?

Question

I have a milk color skin. Girls are always asking if they can touch my face, I tell them YES, but then they get mad, and say a man should not have such good skin.
My skin is very clear, and I just don’t do anything to take care of it. My cousin who is also a guy works selling acne products at the mall, his skin is as clear as mine, and he doesn’t do anything to take care of it either. But he’s worked 3 years making a lot of money on commission telling people how he used to have problems, but than began taking this and that of the stuff he sells. He makes a lot of money, so I kinda want to do it, but I gotta wonder.

Is it dishonest?

Answer 1

Do you think a car salesman cares if the brakes aren't good on the car he sells? Do you think a real estate agent will tell you about the asbestos in the walls? Money's money, and people will tell you anything for a buck. Yes its dishonest, but if you can live with it, then do it.

Answer 2

Yes,as far as im concerned,it IS dishonest. Would you like someone to sell you a car and tell you it drives great,then find that its a bomb and doesnt drive at all...and you have wasted your money. I think its dishonest and it scams money off people for stuff that might not even work on their type of skin..and in fact, some products could make their skin worse,if they dont have the right advice. Dont do it...find something else where you can keep your self respect. The fact that you even question it,tells me you dont really think its right either.

Answer 3

Yes, Full stop.

That´s a question of conscience, not a make-up question by the way. If there is proof the products work, it might be okay but I´d still NOT do it. There´s nothing wrong with saying this and that product has helped people improve their skin (if that´s true!), but don´t say it improved yours when that´s not true.
Your cousin should have problems sleeping at night... don´t lie to your future customers! If they find out, they never come back. And what do you need customers for? To buy your stuff regularly and not just once. :)

Answer 4

Well yes, I think it is......if you're basing the outcome of your products on your own experiences, in which you have none, you're lying to people. You're one of the lucky people who actually have clear skin, a lot of teens these days don't, and they want the quick fix. Would you honestly want to make your money on other's desperateness? Or what if it were you? What if your face was covered in acne, would you want t a salesmen lying to you and telling you something works when he's never tried it? The best advice I could give is, to treat others like you would want to be treated. Don't do anything to anyone, in which you wouldn't have them return the favor. I hope you make the right decision.

Answer 5

Yes. To tell someone they can expect the same results because of what it did for you is misleading, and even illegal. I've sold Avon for over 22 years, and I know better than to tell my customers that their skin will look as good as mine, even though I don't use the products. I don't need them either, but would never suggest that Avon products is what got my skin to look like it does. Even though your customers may never know the truth, it's ethically and morally wrong. Do others do it? Yes. I guess only you know how much you can live with, for the sake of money. <*)))><

Answer 6

That is dishonest but I could see why it would be easy to do. I have always wondered if companies selling stuff like that did that. It would make me mad if I found out.

Answer 7

The world famous George Kastanzia once said; "Remember Jerry, it is only a lie if you believe it is a lie". So in you case, it is probably dishonest, because you asked the question; "Is it dishonest?" I would have to say for you it is dishonest.

Answer 8

ok im real... ima tell u no it isnt anything wrong with that...I think you have to do what you have to do to make money. I have really clear skin as well and dont use anything...I hope it all works out for you!

Answer 9

Your cousin is a salesman working on commission. By definition he is a liar. I worked on commission and I owned everything in the store. I had to pay my bills. You do what you have to do to do.

Answer 10

yes if you make up stuff but you could try using the product and see if it does your skin any good.
