Who’s the fairest of us all?

I am a believer that beauty starts inside out. What we eat and how we think keeps us beautiful. As they say: happiness is a state of mind, and so is the beauty. Happiness reflects in our actions and also on our looks. A smiling face always looks beautiful. Make-up can be a lifesaver on certain occasions. There is nothing actually wrong in makeup. Ignorance and over-indulgence of cosmetics is a concern though.

It's been used from centuries, but never had it had such dangerous ingredients in it, which we rub on our fragile skin these days. Unless one has degree in chemistry, one wouldn't notice the presence of notorious chemicals in a well packaged product, bombarded by advertisements with super models in it. So whom should we blame?

Shall we blame our uncontrollable, ever growing desire to look good? Or is it the cosmetic industry, which is not supplying all natural cosmetics for the huge demand? So who puts all that junk on our bathroom shelf? I guess we only do that.Are we becoming unfailingly insecure consumers? Are we insecure about our looks? What if the mirror on the wall might not choose me as "the fairest of all"? Social scientists offer various reasons to explain this insecurity. Due to beauty image created by the media and to some extent our society, some women go to extent of receiving multiple injections – some approved some off-label, and others wholly unapproved.

It's the time that we are fair to our own self and to the nature, which is God's gift to us like our bodies. Let us be fair to our bodies and be happy with our looks. Let the inner beauty outshine the perceived perception that we follow all the time. It's high time we stop treating ourselves as a product, which can be continuously upgraded and modified in accordance with new interests and greater resources. After all, cosmetics are about feeling and looking good. Tell yourself - you are fair of the all.
