Promoting 'Real Beauty'

This is one of the many Dove Campaigns to promote 'Real Beauty', it has been so refreshing to see a large cosmetic brand doing it's bit to stamp out the media's perception of what is beautiful - manufactured, buffed & polished unachievable beauty, to the point none of us would even want to look in the mirror again for fearing we could never live up to these unrealistic & not to mention false standards..?!



The above film shows the real story behind the billboards, we've all heard before that ad pictures are airbrushed although to see it performed before your very eyes just goes to show how real 'false' beauty actually is!
I've always believed in making the most of what you have, we can't all love what we see in the mirror everyday of life & there will always be photos of ourselves we want tear up, but it's how we feel about what we have that matters as well as learning that perfection does not exist & if even it did, would it be good enough for us anyway!?
