This week an eye-opening conversation with beauty journalist Jessica DeFino. Beauty standards have an impact on our lives, often without us even realizing it.
‘The beauty industry reels us in by calling it ‘beauty’ and assigning it metaphysical powers. I really think we would be better off if we called the beauty industry the appearance industry.’
Jessica sheds light on the current dynamics in the beauty world. We explore how our obsession with our appearance is affecting us, and ways we can shift the narrative around beauty. What are the real costs of beauty standards and how can we begin to reclaim our self-worth and change the conversation?
Jessica has written for the New York Times Allure Vogue, and now writes the newsletter The Review of Beauty.
