Social Media Unfiltered: Improving Teenage Mental Health through Individualism and Acceptance

June 13, 2023

In the world of beauty, Cosmetic Avenue is a place where everyone can feel good about themselves. We believe in bringing out the natural beauty of our clients, helping them feel happy and healthy in their own skin. As we explore the ever-changing world of beauty, we are committed to understanding and tackling the challenges that come with it.

Beauty is a wonderful thing, and it looks different to everyone. But in today’s world, social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok have a big influence. They often show a very narrow idea of beauty, which can be hard to achieve. This can make people, especially young teenagers, feel bad about how they look.

A study from Griffith University found that watching just seven minutes of beauty videos on these platforms can make young women feel bad about their appearance. This shows just how powerful social media can be in shaping how we feel about our looks.

At Cosmetic Avenue, we believe in celebrating all kinds of beauty. We encourage our clients to love their unique beauty and not to try to look like someone else. Our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to providing treatments that bring out natural beauty and promote overall well-being.

The beauty industry is affected by changes in society and the economy. Rising costs and the increasing price of beauty products are making people more careful about what they buy. This could put pressure on teenagers to spend more on beauty products, even if they can’t afford it.

Another big trend is the blending of beauty and wellness. While it’s good to think about beauty in a holistic way, it can also make people worry more about their looks, thinking that looking good means being healthy.

Lastly, there’s a growing focus on women’s health and wellness in the beauty industry. This can be good because it gives young girls the knowledge and tools to take care of their health. But it could also add to the pressure and expectations around beauty standards.

The quest for “perfection”, driven by social media and changing beauty trends, can have serious effects on mental health. More and more young girls throughout the UK, are feeling pressured to meet beauty standards or to look a certain way, along with the fear of being judged, leading to things like anxiety, depression, eating disorders and low self esteem.

In conclusion, while social media and the beauty industry can be helpful, it’s important to understand how they can affect young teenagers’ mental health and self-image. As we navigate this digital age, it’s important to celebrate all kinds of beauty, encouraging self-love, acceptance, and mental well-being above all.

One way to do this is to own our imperfections and the things that make us unique. Our imperfections are what make us who we are. They give us character and make us different from everyone else. Instead of trying to hide them, we should embrace them. After all, beauty is not about being perfect. It’s about being comfortable in our own skin and loving ourselves just the way we are.
