The fairness creams lie to you. Movies lie to you and the people we look up to as our idols have no compunction is promoting concepts that may not be the best for us. Generation after generation falls into the same trap of mind programming where they are forced to aspire a physical image that isn’t even real. So, to everyone out there, sit back and find out what real beauty means.
- Photoshop has no role to play in being beautiful

So you see hose hot Victoria secret model on the cover of a glossy magazine. You think they were born like this? Ummm…no. They look so perfect thank to the editing software called Photoshop.
- Selfies which are filtered with effects added aren’t real either

Smartphones have so many filter and effects, which transforms an image. Again this is fake and shouldn’t make anyone feel less about themselves.
- There is nothing quite as lovely as your natural skin

So, what if you have freckles or scars. Flaunt them don’t conceal them. They are a part of you so why hide it.
- What you think and feel matters and so it should reflect on your face

You don’t always have to have a broad smile to look beautiful, nor must you have a vacant look with a silly pout to look hot. Let your real feelings show.
- Real beauty is not about style, clothes, makeup or money

You may love makeup or be anti-makeup. You may not be wearing high heels and following the latest trends. All these things are materialistic and has nothing to do with how beautiful you are.
- Real beauty is not what you can see

Because what you can see can change, in a split second due to a mishap or over the years due to aging. Real beauty lies in all the things that cannot see.
- And then there is the real thing of beauty – the heart

The heart of a person defines how they live their life and that is what stays on, even when they’ve lost their teeth and no amount of botox can make them young again.
We know this is difficult to follow through, especially with marriages being dependent on fairness and only the thin girls getting boyfriends. But try to understand this because in the long run the thin girls will get fat, and marriages are not all they are hyped up to be. Be happy with yourself and let your beauty shine through.
