Beautyholics

As you know, everything in a person should be perfect. And there's nothing wrong with wanting to look good. But what if this desire develops into an obsessive concern? Then it's time to think about how to treat this uninvited disease, which is beautyolism.

Striving for the ideal

Beautyholism is a preoccupation with one's appearance - often accompanied by a desire for perfection. But the paradox is that the ideal is unattainable, and beautyholics constantly see more and more flaws in themselves, never achieving the desired satisfaction.

The reasons for beautyism can be low self-esteem, and not accepting oneself, and an unsatisfied need for love, and the fear of old age, uselessness, the desire for success and the notorious power. In general, at the heart of excessive concern for one's appearance are personal psychological problems that cannot be solved by solving the issue of appearance.

How to tell if you are a beautyholic:

Your cosmetic bag is more like a travel bag. You spend most of your money taking care of your appearance.

Your phone book is dominated by phone numbers of cosmetologists, hairdressers, make-up artists, masseurs and other beauty masters.

You can't pass by any cosmetic novelty, buying everything you need and don't need.

You have about six foundations, several tubes of mascara, over 13 lipsticks, etc.

You buy all kinds of dietary supplements and dietary supplements.

You are aware of all the latest in the world of beauty and cosmetics.

You cannot imagine your life without all kinds of procedures, creams, jars, bottles, and for this you can sacrifice a lot.

If you answered yes to most of the statements, you should think about your psychological state. But there is no need to panic. First, try to deal with your obsession on your own. And if it doesn’t work out, seek help from a psychologist.

Some practical advice

Read less blogs, magazines and other information publications devoted to the review of cosmetics and other aspects of beauty.

Don't rush to buy the beauty product you like right away: the morning is wiser than the evening.

Check the contents of your makeup bag periodically, having five of these products is sobering in the intention to buy another one.

Calculate your monthly expenses for your appearance and allocate yourself a certain amount per month that you can spend on cosmetics and treatments.

Every time you look in the mirror, mark three of your virtues.

Develop your confidence.

Direct the energy and time that you spend on improving your appearance in a different direction (creativity, charity, dancing, communication with interesting people, exhibitions, theaters).

And most importantly, be happy! Nothing makes a person look better than a sincere smile.
