Social media in this day and age floods us with a host of pictures – images of the perfect bodies, expensive dinners, luxury holidays – establishing the benchmark for our beauty and lifestyle decisions. Whether photo-shopped or not, the standards are high and the perceived stakes are even higher. The comments section and the trolls dictate our opinions of ourselves and we feed this with our constant pursuit of validation through our posts.
At the end of the day, everyone has their flaws, but the picture perfect representations we see don’t bring this to light. And while arguably the healthiest thing to do is to ignore all of this and build your confidence through self love, it’s much more difficult to do than it sounds. Covering your flaws may not seem like the best option available, but sometimes this is just what you need to start feeling beautiful again and to get started on your road to recovery.
Start Somewhere.
Anywhere. Really, whether it’s you hair, skin, eyes, hands, or even feet! Find whatever area you feel the most self-conscious about and nip it in the bud.
Been seeing voluminous, full, thick heads of hair? Experiencing hair loss yourself? Explore your options. While your regular shampooing and conditioning routine is probably fine just as it is, why not add some products designed specifically to reduce hair loss. Hair oils and scalp treatments are simple and easy additions to your routine and will make so much more of a difference to your hair’s appearance. And don’t forget about the impact it’ll have on how you feel. Step out into the world with that extra boost in confidence, knowing that you’ve taken a step towards improving yourself.
Maybe it’s not your hair. Maybe it’s your eyes. Maybe you’re starting to see some dark spots and signs of ageing. Well, take steps to repair and protect your eyes. And while you’re here, why not expand your selection to take a look at the rest of your skin too. Serums and cremes, while a little pricey can do wonders. From targeting lines and wrinkles to helping firm and lift your skin, maintain a beautiful, youthful complexion with these items.
Preventative measures are always a better option than treatment solutions. Sometimes however, you’ll need to take it a step further. Introducing, makeup. Not only can it be great for covering up your flaws, with the right application your can really add a little bit of extra pizazz to your look. When it comes to everyday makeup a more natural look may be your best bet, but feel free to go a little crazy if that’s your style. Either way, you can’t go wrong with a natural finish foundation to help build a strong base. Pair this up with a good concealer to cover any imperfections and top it off with all your other faves, from lipstick to mascara.
Embrace What You Have.
And the roller coaster draws to an end. Preventing, treating and covering your flaws will help, but building your confidence is really about being able to understand what you have and how to make the most of it.
Don’t spend all your time looking at what others have, comparing that to what you don’t and instead use this to reflect on what you do have. Work on yourself, and don’t worry about what anyone else has to say.
