It’s hard not to see a multitude of perfectly toned beauties, flat stomachs, plump breasts, impossibly long legs and perky, perfectly rounded butts.
Thousands of Instagram accounts promote images of perfectly sculpted men and women.
False representations and unrealistic standards
An Instagram model can post a picture of herself in a bikini, showing off her taut stomach, holding up a weight loss tea supplement. Her caption reveals that said supplement is the secret to her honed physique.
This alone, sends a very dangerous message to millions of her followers, the majority of whom are impressionable young women.
It is spreading the idea that supplements, diet pills and detox teas are the best way to achieve her body type, when in reality, it could not be further from the truth.
More often than not, their looks are a combination of gym, plastic surgery and a generous amount of retouching.
Her job is to look perfect and promote merchandise. This creates an unrealistic beauty standard for all of her followers who believe that this product is their ticket to a perfect body.
People should learn not to believe all they see on social media, don’t let fake live make you do something you will regret.
