In today’s episode, we explore the harmful effects of toxic beauty culture on our physical and mental health. From distorted, perfection-driven standards to excessive and unhealthy beauty practices, we examine the ways in which the pursuit of beauty can become a dangerous obsession. We reflect on the role of social media in perpetuating these harmful beauty ideals but it's not all doom and gloom - we also discuss some positive exceptions and explore strategies for redefining beauty standards and promoting a more inclusive, empowering vision of beauty that prioritises self-care and self-love over appearance. Join us as we delve into the dark side of beauty and uncover the truth about what it really means to be beautiful in today's world.
