I like reading the Psychologies Magazine and found their Positive Beauty Manifesto inspiring!
This campaign aims to:
- encourage women to have a balanced approach to beauty
- celebrate women who enjoy looking after their appearance, whilst celebrating individuality in an increasingly pressured world.
The Psychologies Magazine 10 Point Positive Beauty Manifesto
- Beauty is the celebration of what is unique about each one of us
- Taking the time to care about ourselves boosts our self confidence
- Beauty and femininity are complex, and should not follow a simplistic set of rules or universal conversations
- Beauty should celebrate intelligent, individual and confident role models
- Being bombarded by unattainably perfect beauty ideals can damage that confidence
- True beauty radiates who we truly are, including all our imperfections
- Feeling beautiful is more important than looking beautiful
- A woman can play with her image, make-up and clothes without being superficial
- Neither neglecting your appearance nor obsessing about it are healthy signs for women
- We can be beautiful without being young, overtly sexy or thin
The manifesto will be published in the Psychologies’ June issues across the globe! It’s being supported by celebrities and beauty experts – please read the full list below – and FaceWorkshops would like to support it too!Please share this with your friends.
