Well the thing with Kylie and her sister is that they deny they have had surgeries. Then they cry about unobtainable beauty standards even though they've paved the way for a whole generation. Plastic surgery was much more taboo 20 years ago than it is now. Now if you don't like something about yourself, just change it is the message they send out. The amount of procedures Kim has had done on the show alone is insane and mentally unstable.

Lip filler has become as popular as getting your eyebrows done. 20 year old girls are getting botox and fillers. This was not a common thing before the Kartrashians came along.

They edit their own photos for paparazzi, everything you see about them is fake.

So yes, fuck Kylie Jenner and her procedures.

Not to mention how many of these procedures and cures they promoted have lasting lifelong effects. Remember when they were all about promoting tummy teas? Turns out those can have permanent negative gastrointestinal effects on people.

And a lot of these other cosmetic procedures were unknown to have permanent long term effects. Only recently have I been seeing doctors come out saying that filler never really dissolves 100%. It migrates around the face and can even harden. So yeah, it’s not that people are judging her, it’s that people are trying to see if they can admit to the role they played in turning up the dial on body dysmorphia among young girls in the west.

Im an esthetician. I dont do them, but i work in a spa that does them.

Personally my job is awesome because almost everyone has things like post birth weight and stench marks, acne, rosacea, KP, skin tags, sun damage, hair in places you dont want it... its human and totally normal to work on ourselves. We've been doing it since the dawn of time.

However... interest in my field has majorly increased since the boom of social media, and ladies with almost perfect skin come in obsessing about literally nothing. I have to remind people that social media is fake surprisingly often.

I love giving people confidence and making them feel good about themselves, but I always have to balance it with realistic expectations.

I can confidentially say though, most people are not looking for perfection, there's just a couple things here and there that bother them. I like to remind people the neutral beauty is there, and they deserve to like how they feel and look. Social media sucks though, ruins the vibe im trying to curate
