The rise of social media has brought with it an abundance of filters and a corresponding increase in insecurity. Despite the general awareness of the editing that goes into many Instagram posts, these issues have not disappeared. Influencers often make subtle changes to their images, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and manipulation. It is crucial to occasionally bring attention to this problem as a reminder that the images we see on social media are often highly curated and do not reflect reality. Additionally, influencers who rely heavily on filters not only promote unrealistic body images to their followers, but also contribute to distorted self-perception.
However, the use of beauty filters is not limited to influencers. A 2021 study by City University of London found that 90% of women between the ages 18-30 use editing programs to alter their appearance. This pressure to conform to a certain appearance and present a ‘perfect life’ on social media can result in negative body image and self-esteem, and may even contribute to the development of mental health problems such as depression and anxiety.
We want to remind you that your natural beauty is enough, and the features you try to conceal are the ones that make you unique. Using filters will only create an unrealistic and even comical appearance.
