Lets Talk About skin Care, Beauty And Health Tips

Societyâs perception of beauty has been changing constantly throughout the course of human history. Womenâs clothing styles, hair styles, and outward appearances have altered, along with the fads. However, I believe women today are faced with the toughest standards of beauty yet; standards to be super-skinny, super-sexy, and unrealistically beautiful. So, I ask this question: Who actually creates the standards for beauty in the first place?
Looking back at the past, it appears that artists, sculptors, and painters have had large influences of what was judged as beautiful. So have actresses, singers, entertainers, and those with high social statuses. But who is given that type of power today? Although many would blame the media for insisting on size zero models and beautiful looks, the fault truly lies with us. We set the standards ourselves! We have the power to resist, or even to speak out, about the negative messages the media is sending to women; yet, often times we do just the opposite. We submit to the worldâs standards of beauty, and we accept its false principles as our own. By soaking up the mediaâs messages and words, we are complacently helping to carry on the thin status quo. Women across the universe are being subjected to thousands of images and messages everyday which mostly only portray the âidealâ body type. The continual pressure to live up to the worldâs ideals can cause women to become dissatisfied with their appearances. Often, this leads women to push themselves to lose weight because they feel the need to appear thin and flawless.
The emergence of the slim body type as a beauty standard for women has resulted in a phenomenon that is harmful to many womenâs emotional and physical health. As models have become thinner and thinner, eating disorders and a decrease of self-esteem have reached an all-time high, particularly in young girls. It is common for teenagers to be obsessed with what is âinâ. In many television advertisements, thin and gorgeous models and actresses appear on the television screen to promote beauty products. These commercials are portraying the message that beauty means being thin. The women on these advertisements are women who have a weight which is below average; in fact, many of these women are sickly underweight and achieved this by smoking, using drugs, or starving themselves. However, young girls do not realize that. They believe these women are perfect because they are thin. These advertisements are hard to ignore as a young girl, especially because they are shown during popular teenage programs such as One Tree Hill, The OC, and Gilmore Girls. However, television is only one of the ways the media reaches young girls. Millions of young girls are subscribed to magazines which contain stick thin models and actresses, fashion tips, and dieting tips. While flipping through the pages, girls begin comparing themselves to the models they see in the magazines, and as a result, they become frustrated with their own bodies. But what girls do not realize is that almost every picture in every magazine has been modified and enhanced. With new technology, almost any flaw can be easily removed, and modelâs bodies can be retouched and made âperfect.â Teenage girls often find themselves longing to look like the models and actresses they see in these photos, yet they are not real pictures.



the topic is-who aets the standards for beauty and how do they affect lives?

Answer
Well, I assume that the Looooonnnnnng, single paragraph above, acually is just two then?

I'd make it into at least 4 or 5, it's very lengthy, and has several "main ideas" in it.
Your last paragraph should offer some form of conclusion, or summarize the main point you wish to make.

You also could have added the effects of Hollywood, on clothing and beauty styles. TV land, olften reflects Hollywood, and the female stars, over the years.

You are correct that what is seen in Hollywood, on TV, and in glamour magazines is not what a "perfecrt" woman is, or should be.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Women, like men, come in all shapes, sizes and all can be beautiful.
The mind, character and personality really make up the "best" characteristics of a beautiful woman.

Perhaps you can add that thought to your last paragraph?
Good luck

Answer
The key is not to focus on you weight but your overall health. Many athletes fall into the overweight and sometime obese categories based on the BMI scale which does not take body fat content into account. Body fat content is a better indicator of your health than solely relying on BMI.

According to the BMI scale a healthy weight for your height is between 111 pounds and 150 pounds according the adult scale. Child and Teenage BMI scales do not provide this information because children and teenagers are still growing and the healthy weight range is not definite like it is for adults, so this is just an educated guess on my part. Now the body fat percentage calculator will give you more perspective on you total health. I have provided a teen BMI calculator which has lots of great tips and tools for getting or simply staying healthy as well a a body fat percentage calculator.

If you are concern about your weight for any reason, just speak with your doctor. Your Doctor will be able to provide more in depth and accurate information for you personally. Also Doctors love to see people who take their health seriously especially young people.
