Nowadays there is an emerging trend of
beauty
treatments to appear to be more youthful, more and more people are spending large amounts of money on beautifying their complexions.
While
I agree that everyone wants to be a better version of themselves, I admit that we should not ignore the negative impact of the
beauty
industry. The increasing popularity of the trend of spending money on
beauty
is attributed to several subjective and objective factors. In terms of objectivity, the rise of social media like
beauty
apps has fueled an obsession with perfect skin, creating pressure to meet
beauty
standards.
Furthermore
, manipulation of the
beauty
industry
such
as bombardment of advertising and celebrity endorsement, exaggerates the functions of products to entice
women
to make purchases of them. Subjectively, feeling inferior about their body shape and skin, feeling inferior to others, makes
women
become obsessed, looking for ways to beautify themselves. It is these
effects
that make
women
fascinated and crazy about
beauty
, leading to negative
effects

Similarly
, society is becoming more and more heartless, people only focus on appearance to evaluate people, creating an unrealistic
beauty
standard.
Finally
, expectations about appearance can cause great pressure, leading to anxiety, depression and low self-esteem if standards are not met. In conclusion, each person always tries to make themselves better.
However
, being aware of the harmful

of excessive
beauty
and balancing
beauty
and self-care in a healthy way is very important.
