We see a hassle in today’s World. Everyone is chasing material. With such increasing advancement and competition, the beauty standards have really gone up. Such emerging beauty standards have also put a lot of pressure on people to maintain the streak and keep themselves up to date.
Not only women but men are also considered to follow the trends. People while trying to cope with these lose their own self. Running after the trends is never easy, but today, the trend shave gone insanely perfect. The picture that is portrayed to the public is definitely not true. It is not how it seems.
The aura of social media is hypnotizing, people see these celebrities and try to follow things that are totally out of their reach. Not only do they try to follow these beauty standards, but some of them get mentally disturbed when they don’t see the results that were promised.
In a bid to bring awareness to the deceitful nature of social media. There has been a rise in ‘Instagram versus reality’ posts. These are side-by-side photos of a posed or edited image against the real version, which shows perceived imperfections such as cellulite, belly rolls, and stretch marks.
Also, the pictures with no texture on skin and body are insane. All of us having textured skin and this is quite true for almost 90% of us. The filters and editors can really remove your texture and make you look really pretty. However, that will be just a concealer.
And lastly, I want to mention love yourself the way you are. You are unique, embrace yourself with dignity. It is hard I know, so are you. These beauty standards are far beyond you.
