Why do people have the need to Photoshop their skin so much?
Am I the only one who doesn't think that pimples are a flaw?
It's cool to see someone who is not bothered by such "flaws". I, too, am tired of every picture these days being filtered and Photoshopped within an inch of its life in the name of vanity. Sadly, the pervasiveness of this is a manifestation of an insecurity brought on by our society's overly-zealous and constant scrutiny over vanity, and the pursuit of "perfection". Which, in the vast majority of cases these days, is usually an illusion, and completely and unrealistically unattainable anyway.
But where does this obsession with vanity get us? What good is this constant pursuit of "beauty" if we can't be comfortable in our own skin? It's gotten to the point where young girls are using filters to "beautify" themselves because they're afraid they won't be seen as pretty because of a pimple or some other perceived "flaw" that causes them anxiety to the point where they feel the need to filter and Photoshop pictures of themselves. Even in the case where it's "just for fun" - whether it's intended or realized, or not - it creates an internal contrast and complex of comparison that can, and does lead to insecurities over time with enough exposure to it.
in my opinion, all this vanity insanity is a sickness and it's not healthy. It's become generational and it needs to stop.

Not saying pimpels are attractive but I would rather see the real girl than the fake one made up to hide it. You're hot though so even pimples on you is not gonna change anything lol.

This is one's ehhh Let people have their insecurities.
I don't think pimples are a flaw. They come and go.

It's not so much that it's a flaw, I think that clear skin is simply really beautiful. So like, having a few back heads and pimples won't work against you (as long as it's not severe acne), but not having any do make you look prettier
Well it isn’t a flaw but it is a bad thing. You aren’t cleaning your face enough if you have them so a lot of people feel like they need to photoshop them out because they don’t want to look dirty. But they are natural and honestly just a part of how life works. Everyone gets them and there shouldn’t be such a stigmatism around them.

What is it with so many girls and women wanting to pop pimples? I realize that's not what this question is about, but it made me think about that.

I think it looks cute on our face tho. Like too smooth skin is boring and lame..
Not just photoshop it tho, simply thing is they are also use filter to cover it 💀 because no pimples is always better then pimples. As long as we're celebrating fat and cellulite and pimples, I think we need to celebrate tobacco stained teeth, lack of pubic grooming and body odor too. Everyone isn't equal, get used to it
I think the same. They come and go. I've had moments when my mates took pictures for an occasion to remember. I had a pimple on my face which i obv wish wasn't there. But shit happens. Why let a pimple ruin my mood? Or let it deny me from enjoying the occasion? The pimple will go away gradually.
I think sincerely they’re a very little flaw but it can be solved by time, aside from disastrous cases. Todays culture of image brings people to have photoshop faces at the point their visage seem to be made by clay.
They are not a flaw. Most of my pimples are from working outside.
1.2K opinions shared on Fashion & Beauty topic. I agree pimples aren't a big deal. My acne is crazy bad yet I've never edited it out of a pic
When I was a teenager I had a severe acne problem. It was horrible, so yes, they're a flaw - a BIG one.
Many say that but in reality I don't know i feel reality is different even i dont see pimple as a flaw but excess of em peeps do think it is. Tbh only superficial people look at looks. Pimple isn't a flaw tbh u aren't alone that thinks like that.

Nothing wrong with editing a pic to hide something you dont like
737 opinions shared on Fashion & Beauty topic. People see themselves flawed when they are not.
1.1K opinions shared on Fashion & Beauty topic. Yeah, the idea of “flaw” seems overly hated. Skin bunches up into wrinkles, pores clog into pimples and skin gets red when you're psychologically stressed, etc.
pimples are a sign your body is pushing out something bad inside you lol

Homie I don't know if she does have pimples but not severe then she needs to seek medical attention.

Pimples are a fact of life. Everyone gets them. So what if you have it. Move on and live your life. They will eventually go away

Pimples aren't a flaw. They're an unpleasant occurrence.
Voluntarily picking at them until one looks like a pepperoni pizza IS a flaw.
Some need it. That or make up. I much prefer the girl next door but some men and women are shy about their skin especially if they have acne scars
