How to Be a Better Human
Practical Ways to Opt Out of Unattainable Beauty Standards

Awareness involves recognizing the ongoing resources and appearance labor that society expects. Interrogation entails examining the aspects of beauty work that bring joy and personal expression while identifying what can be rejected.

An example of renegotiation is delaying certain beauty practices or choosing more permanent alternatives. These approaches empower individuals to challenge societal norms and reclaim control over their own bodies and self-image.
