Our Olys brand ambassador (JADE YU), he mentioned the term appearance anxiety disorder. Olys just went to read some articles and cases, so I wanted to post this article to talk about this mental illness with everyone. Thanks also to Jade Yu, for raising this issue. Let's get started!

Appearance anxiety disorder is a mental illness. It is also a disease of civilization. "Repetitive" lack of confidence in one's appearance, no matter how you look at it, it is not pleasing to the eye, for example: appearance, skin color, figure, etc., and this kind of state that pays too much attention to appearance, and even does not get attention from others will cause anxiety or pain, that is, appearance anxiety symptoms.

It is human nature to love beauty! , Who doesn't like beautiful and beautiful people and things. But everyone's aesthetics are different. What you find beautiful, I find ugly. What I find ugly, you find beautiful. "Beauty" is a very subjective thing. In this era where filters and faces are used for everything. We often compare the mainstream looks with our own looks, even the body shape. Modern people's aesthetics are becoming more and more monotonous, that is, to be thin, white, and have thin legs! The face should have a V-shaped face and a straight nose. There should be no wrinkles. After listening to it, do you think it is possible? If everyone looks like the above description. Then this world is too boring. It's like you go to a restaurant. Their menu has only cauliflower-based dishes. There are no other meat and vegetable options at all! Will you visit this restaurant again?

Occasionally, we fall into the trap and bondage of beauty, being influenced by the public's aesthetics, and comparing ourselves with celebrities and people on social media. But this feeling is not something I was born with, but a feeling of being told and influenced by others. It is the single beauty of social media that we swipe every day, infiltrating into our minds imperceptibly! IG, FB and other social platforms are already a world of over-packaging! Who is truly perfect in this world? ! Am I right.

Many magazine articles are teaching girls how to be beautiful, and the titles of articles on weight loss are ten times higher than those in boys' magazines. And the covers of many gossip magazines will greatly magnify the shortcomings of female stars! For example, he is getting fatter, he has fat lines, wrinkles, cellulite, etc. Leading to problems with the mental health of the female stars, many also suffer from anorexia. Take Korean celebrities as an example: they must always be in a very thin state and cannot be fat. There must be no blemishes, and a perfect image must be maintained. In such a high-pressure life, many Korean female stars have suffered from depression, anorexia, and even ended their own lives. You know the powerful comments and power of social media and newspapers and magazines. In today's society, children are allowed to use iphones and ipads very early, and it is very easy for young people to receive such information. Especially now the GEN Z group, their rate of mental health problems is much higher. I really don't want young girls to be dissatisfied with their appearance, or even dislike it, because of their unrealistic aesthetics! It's ok to not have perfect skin or perfect body. We all have our insecure moments and moments. It's Okay to have that type of feeling! But confidence doesn't come from the outside, it comes from the inside! If you are perfect today, are you sure you will never have a moment when you are not confident? Confidence is given by yourself, not based on appearance or in the evaluation and vision of others, nor based on the number of likes or followers on social media. Accept and accept your own imperfections, and constantly strive for a better self go ahead. This is what will help you. Who you are is what makes you beautiful!

The following provides how girls can change their mood when they are depressed and unconfident:

1. Exercise:

Exercise secretes dopamine, which mainly makes us happy and excited. Can make us forget about negative emotions. Exercise can also make you physically fit.

2. Think from another angle:

Everything has two sides. If you keep forgetting to think negatively, then you may keep attracting those negative people and things to you. But if you think positively and don’t take everything personal. Then positive people and things will be attracted to you.

3. Affirm your words:

Positive words are important. Girls can wake up every morning and say positive things they want to say to themselves. Positive words every day will slowly seep into your shallow consciousness.

For example:

I'm beautiful.I'm healthy.I'm worthy of love.I'm powerful.I'm strong.I'm successful.

It is important to start your day with these positive words!
