Let’s start with a few questions:

👉🏼 Do you ever feel unattractive?

👉🏼 Are there aspects of your physical appearance that you’re insecure about?

👉🏼 Has anyone ever commented on your appearance negatively?

If you answered yes to any of these, keep reading.

We often measure ourselves against an ideal standard of beauty, which can vary greatly from person to person. For instance, the soft, feminine look of K-pop idols contrasts with the strong, feminine appearance of Western celebrities. These standards are influenced by online images and external validation, such as likes and followers 🫣.

I used to focus on my own perceived flaws, like monolids, moles, no jawline, flat nose, crooked teeth, uneven lips, and it never ends 🤦🏽‍♀️ Eventhough I see these flaws in myself, I don’t notice them in others who share the same features. In reality, what we perceive as flaws might go unnoticed or even be valued by others. Also, even if these ‘flaws’ were fixed, it’s likely that we would just find new ones to focus on 🙂‍↕️.

Anws, each person has unique features that contribute to their individuality, and often, these traits are what others find most appealing ☺️! Hence, start practicing self-kindness and appreciate your own qualities, rather than fixating on perceived flaws.

If you’re still struggling to feel better about yourself, consider treating yourself with skincare or haircare. These small acts of self-care can make a noticeable difference 🤘🏼

Let’s start today 🫶🏼
