What is real beauty to you?? ♥
Now,really after noticing so much I found out this really very archaic trend or a sort-of -rule followed tremendously!THE THOUGHTS ABOUT BEAUTY!
Now ,to justify myself, whenever we type of skincare and /or beauty on any digital platform, the suggestions show
"HOW TO GET RID OF DARK SKIN "! Now this clearly states that the whole world believes in beauty with something related to color/skintone!
People, this needs a change! 😯
Showcasing the story of a dark skinned girl 👧who grew up watching the content on television who rarely showcased anyone similar to her, someone dark skinned. This started adding to her opinion that dark skinned are ugly and she started looking at herself as flawed. Schoolmates would troll her, taunt her and she really felt daunting about it. At a manicure, she was suggested to choose a darker shade than the lighter one,based on her skin tone. She started to dress according to her skin color, something she was forced to do by the society. She thought of herself as someone who is not necessarily good enough for a beautiful girl and lost her confidence for life. 😢
Such are the unheard stories of many who fall prey to the trolls and hate they receive due to something as primitive as that! 😢
INDIAN FACE OF THE ISSUE :
In India dark skin is seen as a flaw, or someone with a dark skin is considered less. Some common comments that dark skinned girls are really fed up and tired of listening to are like,
"You're dark, who would marry you? "
"Try on Haldi(turmeric) ,milk ,etc. on your face to reduce your darkness. "
But those typical people don't get that girls aren't a bit interested in getting fairer today, instead they want a clean, clear, glowing skin, be it any color. They do not want to marry someone who wants to marry their skin color. They do not want to be pretty for "any kind of girl", they want to be pretty, period.
"you're pretty for a dark girl ."
Talking about what beauty means to them? 💜
Now today, beauty is not just limited to facial features, the color you've got, the type of body you have or any such 'genetic' stuff.It lies more in personality, the kind of person you are, the ethics-morals you have, your opinion, what you follow and most importantly CONFIDENCE! They believe that confidence is the best accessory a woman can have that adds enormously to her beauty! 🌼
