In france a woman's beauty was not thought to be substantial unless she stayed beautiful after age,36. In Europe a mans 40th birthday is celebrated in a big way because it´s thought that only after that he is a man of substance. Then I know women who go through great pains..literally to look like they are in their 20´s. This whole unhealthy obsession with youth is making our society unhealthy. Everyone knows that most girls on advt. billboards and magazines are around 17years..some even as young as 14! The pictures are photo-shoped...still women torture themselves to remain young! Men feel insecure! This blatant obsession with youth and thinness has lead to many young girls dying from starving themselves..many people dying on cosmetic surgery tables ...trying to be perfect.
Many in asia are obsessed with the white skin western idea of beauty..going through process like skin whitening and peeling process without being adequately warned and educated about it.Chinese men and women trying to have bigger eyes..biggger breasts. Skin peels lead to hyper pigmentation in their 40´s. hummm...How can we stop this? How about looking at role models from our own culture and being proud of your individuality? There is just one you...after all..in this whole world! Why not make her/him the most beautiful? Take pride in yourself and love yourself and accept others for what they are. We are a more interesting world with all our differences than everyone looking the same. Make the best of your looks without trying to look 20. Love yourself enough not to mutilate with botox or peels...or worse.
