That is really disappointing to hear, but definitely eye-opening. I think the message here is that you can't judge a book by its cover...literally. What you see is not always what you can trust. Maria,

There is one guy in New York who does most of the retouching for the beauty magazines and many beauty and fashion advertisements. In the interview, he was saying that even Dove's campaign for real beauty is a sham because he did the retouching for their ads (where the girls of all shape and sizes pose in their underwear.) He said that the amount of retouching that went into those ads was huge. So you can't even believe the "real beauty" campaign. Remember, these people are trying to sell a product as well and are using this platform to make you feel better about yourself. However, the reality is that they continue to perpetuate fake beauty because they are trying to sell their products, no matter what they say. Maybe they use less pretty models, but still touch them up to fit a standard.

How much time is it going to take to reverse the brainwashing the beauty and clothing industry has so meticulously done? When will women stop buying into this?

When will women stop buying into this?
