Don’t let other’s define you

Beauty in the media is definitely subjective and the photos on the bottom show that it varies culture by culture. Over time the body desired in media changes as well. It becomes hard when so many women don’t look like this because they will compare themselves to this standard rather than accepting their body type because most women will most likely never look like the bodies portrayed in the media.
-
It is best to listen to your body and do what is best for you. The media is mostly fake and unfortunately give us unrealistic body standards
-
I think that body image is mostly focused on the time frame rather than the culture.
-
I think this one touches more on body image and the standard of beauty than tanning, but still a good message.
-
Everyone is beautiful and everyone should think they are beautiful without having to alter hair/skin/eye color etc!
-
The body expectations of society often impact one’s own expection but it’s important to prevent this
-
I completely agree with this! Celebrities never show what they went through and it is important for the viewers to be aware that this isn’t natural or a healthy achievable goal. They should be happy with their own skin and take care of it.
-
This came off more about body image than tanning
-
I love how you touch on the evolution of beauty. This may just be a trend, but it is deadly!
-
Interesting how they change the same women’s appearance based on the culture. Great illustration of the evolution of beauty.

Good question!
-
Very though-provoking!

Food for thought!
-
did have an impact on me, because it didn’t show consequence
-
We should really think about why.

I’ll take paleness over the second image any day.

Celebrities should think about the kinds of messages they send to other young women.

Cancer is too high a price to pay for bronzed skin

Pale is …

So often we get to see only the top image, not the bottom one
-
Both messages should be displayed for people to make informed decisions.
-
This shows the step to how these moles formed and at what cost, more like to impact
-
These two pics got me thinking.
-
Natural should be the new beautiful!
-
Pale is not just the new beautiful- protected should be the new beautiful! Inclusive of all skin types

What the media don’t show you

Seeing the negative consequenses is so important!
-
This is good because it provides an argument and has photos to back it up
-
I think this allows people to see the impact it can have, be sure to make it more personal with faces and or quotes from the people it impacted. When people connect to an ad it is more likely to impact their decision making
-
This is an important message because it focuses on the negative side of tanning. I think it is very important that people understand the possible consequences that come with tanning.
-
It is really sad women feel the need to always be validated and have this thought that to be “beautiful” they must do certain things. We should love our skin and bodies for the way they are and shouldn’t feel the need to change.
-
So true that these images are never advertised! This is a shame since tanning is such a big risk

Two images

Scary!
-
I actually have seen older women’s skin look like this too
-
I think that this point decreases the desire to change oneself to look more like celebrities because the benefits dont outweigh the costs or risk
-
Really shows the impact unlike the first post with just the picture from the left. I think this does a great job of impacting the audience
-
I have seen effects like this is in real life- they are real discouragements from tanning.

Instagram and the culture of influencers

Agree 100% with this. Influencers show off their best pictures and not the outtakes.
-
Makes me wonder if tanning bed usage rates would be as high without the influence of social media.
-
I completely agree. It is shocking how much someones fake, distorted pictures can make you feel so awful about your own life. It is hard to not compare yourself to these images. When you see the “reality” vs instagrammed pictures, it doesn’t always look as glam as it seems.
-
I often wonder if people would care about their shade of tanning if there were no social media. I feel as though beaches, spring break, and dances all cause tanning but mostly in people who look at instagram and see perfectly tanned models.
-
Makes you think about how many times they had to take the picture to get just the right angle!
-
Everyone always puts their best self on Instagram, which isn’t necessarily their true self
-
I think this is important because social media is such a big part of society now and really influences the way we think, especially about ourselves.
-
Instagram can be so destructive to body image and self esteem. I hope that more women will only follow people that they admire for qualities besides beauty.

With and without the tan

I think tanning lotions are a much better alternative to using sunbeds, but should never become a lifestyle!
-
The body image is often influenced by one’s obsession with appearance. This post emphasizes the culture of tanning as a means to get a leg up in body building competitions nad such
-
Let’s love our own skin tone!
-
This definitely brings up how women’s fitness is shown in the media as well!
-
Disappointing that tanning is an aspect of these types of competitions!

so true!

It’s very interesting to see how much a tan changes someone’s appearance.
-
Great evidence of the dangers of tanning.
-
I feel like this is proves that celebrities must change themselves to be unnaturally tan. It shows that fake beauty steps are taken for anyone to be tha tan.
-
I think this is super interesting to see the contrast of when a woman goes with her natural look versus a tanned look.
-
If only google showed a tan celebrity, a non tan celebrity, and then a picture of the bad tanning consequences.
-
This is interesting because it really shows that we see these celebrities with tanned skin, yet do not know how they achieved that look.
-
I think the natural skin tones of all these women are beautiful! Tanning is unnecessary and harmful.
Interesting comparison
Thought provoking!
The comparison makes me thinking about the perception of tanning from society because I don’t think young people realize that smoking and tanning can both cause cancer and just as much suffering.
extreme but really shows the consequences we don’t consider..Impactful
Interesting idea. People need to realize tanning is just as unattractive as smoking.
