Beauty and Make Up Models
So I was lying in bed this morning, watching TV. It's my normal routine to wake up. Commercial break. Nothing special. Then I noticed a tv spot with Scarlett Johansson promoting a cosmetic product.
OK I have to say I'm used to crappy and stupid commercials. But this is really rediculous. A 22 year old young woman promoting anti-aging products. In the TV Spot she was promoting a product that kind of fills up your wrinkles with whatever and I wonder where she's got wrinkles. In her butt crack? Sorry for that bad joke but seriously it makes me wonder. I'm not saying the cremes etc won't work, I can't judge about that, but of course it will look like it worked on her since she doesn't even have any wrinkles.
And I also wonder what's the purpose of the spot. Well yeah, of course to make more people buy their product. But what kind of people? 50 year old women who now dream of having a young skin like Scarlett Johansson? Or is the cosmetic selling company trying to get younger costumers?
So does this mean that I, as a 20 year old young woman, have to start to get worried about anti-aging? Is it already necessary for me to use those kinds of products? I think not.
This leads me to think about beauty.
I think everyone should learn to love themselves the way they are. A big butt? A little chubby here or there? Unsatisfied with your nose? It doesn't matter. A pimple in your face? Wrinkles around your eyes? Don't worry. Be proud of what you are and what you've got. Wrinkles make you to who you are. And actually, I think it's very attracting if people stick to it. Hey this is me, I am who I am and I'm proud of it.
Beauty has nothing to do with a pretty nose. It's about charisma. If you show happiness and have a smile on your face everyone will love being around you. As long as you're pretty on the inside, you will be on the outside too.
[Just a rant.]
Edit: I decided to take out the brand of the cosmetic company.

I totally agree.
At school once, our teacher found a pot of Anti-Aging cream under one of the desks. Come on, it couldn't have been anybody older than 16.
It's totally stupid to get people worried about things like this.
Like getting teenagers worried about getting spots. Acne happens. It's natural.
And I guess it's good money to do a commercial like that. But srsly, it's dumb. People shouldn't have to use products to be something theyre not.
