The body comes in all shapes and sizes, with flaws and imperfections. There is no perfect body or beauty! The stereotype of making a narrow ideology on beauty standards is getting worse day by day.
If it's not your body, it's not yours to comment on fat, skinny, tall, short. It doesn't matter.- Dumlin'-
"Try this product it treats pimple and black marks overnight, you are too skinny you must take milk, honey mixture before going to bed!OHHH...hooooo you put on weight does that jean still fits you?? wait I will share a video on how to lose weight. Here... try this product it makes your skin lighter two shades! wow..you gained some weight on your face and now you look prettier than before... Have you ever faced this set of questions from your relatives, friends, acquaintance, and loved ones?????
As a society, we have normalized the beauty standards that white skin yields respect and white is beautiful, having the excess muscle around the tummy and thigh region is ugly, having body hair is gross,
only acne and scar-free face is considered to be the definition of a beautiful face Come on!! who designed this stereotype of beauty? though famous celebrities addressed this false stereotype this type of beauty standard has imprinted in the minds of several million people. How do you define a beautiful face and body? by examining the symmetry of the face and lip structure? or by the skin tone and body shape?
Looking at flawless bodies in magazine covers, movies, and commercials make people insecure about their own body and they end up imitating the models and actors by spending lots of money in buying beauty products and enrolling in fitness brands which those actors endorse. Take a moment and embrace your body the whole sum of your body is a precious gift! your chipped and unpolished nails don't define your beauty, it is known and common to have body hairs...waxing and shaving your armpits, legs, and hands has nothing to do with being beautiful. It is normal to have stretch marks, we are human beings, not sculptures. Size zero is not sexy it is unhealthy. Obsessing over perfect curves and perfect skin is like pressuring your body and mind and involving yourself in a depressed state by abanding your natural self.

Emer O'Toole's Social Experiment
As a part of the social experiment, Emer O'Toole quit waxing and shaving for 18 months and shared her result on a national Tv channel. But shockingly 80 percent of the people felt this disgusted and appalled. Media started throwing funny comments notably a columnist named Amanda Platell, from the Daily Mail, wrote "She revealed underarm beards that would have made Osama Bin Laden proud"
Too shocking right??
Emer thought that waxing and shaving to be an anti-feminist thought thrown at women in the name of Artificial gender norms
Groom yourself when you really want to, not because someone is implying the thought on you and making you feel insecure. Tressure the natural You!!
