right. which one is darren? go to health, smart nature, the more likes watching it on youtube. dw documentary, as soon as you're logged into social media, you've got lots of recommendations on how to become more beautiful. but did you ever ask yourself what decides to what beauty is meant? it would say it lives in the eye of the beholder. but it's hard to ignore what we see online, especially if nearly $230000000000.00 box the industry. we have a lot to unpack about this topic, so welcome to the 77 percent. i am your host 5 to any company. no she have you ever scroll through a social media feed and felt like you are overwhelmed with unless moved to tips. we ask the audience on facebook due to means to them. i'm slomo,

pottery from the barrier, wrote decent director. is that sweet? that a said from got a said you to means your character, personal hygiene and sound, the steam. you have a bunch of personality as well as how you relate with office. i love his tone, said person, the appearance, natural color, and social co existence. that we love the fact that be mentioned those in a volumes. but we have our doubts. the visa, duly factors, and international studies shows that people globally invest up to 4 hours daily into the beauty routines. and that's estimation isn't it? we put the question to our follows on is to run it to 7 percent. can see the beauty highly or somewhat important, or least searching for us and say, it's a relevant, interesting me, 42 percent, say back. what is all key if the prostate teens. but let's get into this world into beauty, standards and social media out with

a friendly chat between my 2 colleagues, favor and rachel. have you done? that's fine. that you're going to fall with social media. everyone can see on child's new view to means anyone can learn how to use the right particular product as the right. i like the political to come in to for sure. if you like, every day there's a new product that everyone is talking about. trying to keep up with them can be tiring, and this can also cost to a lot of money. for example, bullets and she, eyebrows is, was trying to you right now. and the mobile i flute is blowing up and take talk is cool. that social media outlets, everyone share and then about beauty. what does he also make you feel like you need to follow every train? the constant pressure of viewing this editor images can most of your mental health, especially if it expects you to conform to society due to stopping because of what any satisfaction i knew. so 15 different

a condition called knock japanese for yeah, we have to go to the desk with some links to look like this inside version of them . so the good news is that social media also encourages people's attention. this can help one to be more self accepted and also from what self image select 70. okay, so, so an idea like beauty train doesn't run by that social media dramatically into, into that perception of what's training today may be updated tomorrow. thank you. girls, though, is definitely on point. let's not take a closer look at what exactly is behind the beauty standards. where do they come from? who initiates them? what do we do to live up to them and what price we packed to pay for that? we asked this question, you know, stream debate and going on, and here's how it went. perhaps we can begin by explaining to us what these ideals, particularly here in gonna,

in our presence clumsy him. a capitalist coach had the body as soon constance displayed in gonna beauty standards have become very important to young women. so the all sorts of activities got to be taken by evan gunny and women to shape and scold, see of bodies in different ways from tony and your skin. glitching go skiing and wearing which strain is to shape the body in the sets. and we, we have someone here who's actually gone through some of these notifications. you're talking about for a copy is a social media sensation hearing. gonna actually has also opened the spoken about, you know, bleaching your skin or correct in your body in one way or another. can you tell me why it is you felt you needed to do cause basically i to of life and the mice came to freeze into the kaiser of gales. the men interested in on the social media of thoughtful. yeah. when you have been lights out, you get more attention, you get bills from maybe more the contracts and know that. yeah, but i've also had it said q and gone to that specific advertisement for jobs will

ask for farrah skin to women. and i want to find out if you've had this level of thinking where you're like, i might not good enough because of my skin tone. i haven't personally on assessments go, but she's come 50, right? it's not just an individual level, not just like a male gaze, it's been tie it industry. there's a beauty currency, and that's why we need to expand what it means to be beautiful. whatever your features are, without your nose is big with your mouth, but your lips are full. that's just beautiful. why? how did we get here? why is it that we as africans, black africans are in a black society and we're still like yelling. full, westernized beauty, ideals, and everything that we see around odd adventures makes you see a predominantly lighter representation of done young women. so we go up looking at these pictures and closely on cautiously. we internalize that that's a very long you know, history of, you know, the nice ation and we intend

a license that do you think if you most likely dhaka, if you'll figure out was more like mine and less like you as you would get less work. yes, you will get a job, but the pay may, there's differences in a do you feel like you're doing something home for to the young commands will following you when they see you advertising products to lice in this skin cell, you don't have to follow me then we have these products coming in through with the coming from the people because of the intention and what they want to do was smuggled. i mean with that tire has made this not valid box is not being upfront as a customer to product and no product. if you take, you know, you swallow or inject via cosmetic, put that cosmetic products i use on the surface of, of the skin. basically there's no such thing as no, no lightning that there's nothing like that. so the reason i knew my rods, if you want to watch a longer version of this discussion, to get out on our youtube channel. however, considering what we just had,

my question is why bless your skin. is it due to color, is a fear of being excluded or just wanting to be like everyone else? whatever the case, the outcome may be exactly what you want, but may also go terribly wrong. for the 5 year old, the level on what you just saw behind me, she had that experience with us to wait till south africa here lives naval hon. i thought the 5 year old single mother who has been using scheme which includes for over 15 years, i couldn't stop it. i couldn't stop it. i. i was in the house with that parents. ivan mixed it with my for the lucian. so that's i can, i could be lights the whole food and not even in the face on an in high twenty's level time became jealous when have friends gradually became light to income protection. she started using the same glitching products, switching to different brands over the years,

depending on what her friends while using that as we had a beautiful life, like like a, a white woman, or after the after effects. that's when this, that it was becoming sage. and if she is, especially when i went outside to the center, i was a my skin with when we went to complete, the liberal time was not aware of the long term price she paid. but how could she knew it's completing products are readily available in supermarkets, loans and coma shops in south africa. the parties not accompanied by any medical guided level time takes us to her knuckles for market to show us how easy it is to buy it is the

fact is a car to buy them because they, they have very cheap. some of them are cheap. then from get you one from the delta and then you can even get them from the switch then does. so it's not easy to buy scheme. glitching products. in fact, like we just saw some products just marketed as sport remove us or fault farrah skin. you might even have to read the fine print to realize what they really are. so before get to answer lotion from the corner store. maybe ask your doctor to give you a head start. we've got the double expertise of doctors can easily and z, and then the mini tween doctors extraordinaire from johannesburg. let's hear what they have to say. 40 percent of the kinds of bleach, the s q that's according to the world health organization. and more research shows

that most are unaware of the potential in home and does not consult stop to the queen. justice can be seen the end of the end that they've been the advocate us to v against the use of skin bleaching product. the i shocked to find them easily available to shop online products containing mercury steroids and hydro clean on ingredients, which is definitely stating concepts when this is absolutely shocking for me. this is actually the 1st time i've seen a full per same type of putting on on the market on the market. yes. freely available like they've been selling condos. yeah. in to make it easy for you to pay that product to the a $22.00 types of things. i think it's a pretty abbreviated as h 2. now you may think 2 percent is it's a low amount and 5, but amy, hydro, clean own has been banned out of old products or cosmetic products. you're inside

of africa. so whether it's one puts in 2 percent, it does not match. i it cannot be contained in any cosmetic products that it's literally bad, the skin bleaching product, a bad inside advert guy. and i forgot to you in so many places. hydro. yeah. and the legal stairways. yeah. but people, us, those selling those exact products on the internet. this patient over here is a patient who got the steroid at me on the chest area. so this is classic of it. um, it happens on the chase and on the back, the output that this patient over here is a patient who you can tell was using hydro could known for a very, very long time. how do we know that they starting to have the complications of the author notices when patients stop using skin bleaching things, they usually become com, so they bleach mill and struggle to stop. it's a back and forth back and forth. anyone who bleaches a skin will have high put pigmentation when they start bleaching the skin. so now they have to go through the whole bleaching thing again in order to try and you

know, but not a skin tone. and they don't have the patients for that stuff to happen, you know, long to they want to tap and out. so they keep going back. that's why the con stop button. so wait till the behind tries to restore husky with the natural oil. is the hope that's asking you to use the ingredients usually prescribed for maximum of 3 months for 15 years. if you stop using them, you look like a clean mo that because you have steps, okay, using them, then that's good. it or people are getting hit. that's and that's ok. the government should do something about it that you got it. so there must be stopped today. well, young african women and men then as a bleaching biskin, it seems like in years of public health campaigns have evaporated. can we change the script? so what could be your reason for following

a beauty ideal that is clearly hazardous to your health? well, some people definitely believe it's the pathway to frame. we've caught up with south africa's upcoming needs, the to the trial of l twins major on to poppy. they say they faced challenges and industry dominated by lighter skin. so by stars, disregarding the legal bond on the cleans schools of south african into and says, and celebrities like can you involve, are promoting and selling their creams on line calories in a specific form of racism. stems from student types regarding docs, kids, it is normalized through images we see in the media successful luck our to life conflictions like the on se alicia keys and mariah carey and the under representation of dr. tony. yeah, debbie, good, simple, good experiences. lights ok. they have the same amount of grad means as

a but she's lighted. so obviously you, you look at that on the high end note, you know, we put a on a pedestal, we resist the rising people to that front of l. tweens in the hometown of jimmy stuart, puffy and major have recently signed with local industry legend west said the next best thing and he pulled up in south africa law for you. so they are at the breaking point with the korea and they suddenly some pressure on the twins to all is the at the top of the game, hoping that skin bleaching creams will come to the 8 they started using skin bleaching creams a few months ago as a way to enhance the skin tone, to write them out for the camera. they buy a contain of cream for about 7 euro left to them about 2 weeks. luckily, they don't show any signs of damage just yet. but what are the long term effects of the decision to become light to what the doctor's and have been they have to say,

but it's so amazing how they use. uh, caucasian, i'm always application maybe. yeah, yeah, i don't we see here also 2 percent hydro clean and dr. kenny c lee does not approve. it's a condition called a crude notices. okay. it looks name means that it gets stop and pigments, right, so on the cheeks, on the forehead area. we can't get rid of that pigment once it's a, it's the, it's the okay. um we con lights and it's we can only prevent it from becoming dark and spreading by using sun screen. but we're country dr. notice those are the dangers of hydro clean on a when you use it for to know where you guys getting redness. did you ever have written essays? the blue the room? yeah. with the, with the little but yeah, that's

a face of the starting to get that. yeah. not just becoming stock. intense, a suspicion intensive. very real. i'm going to discuss what i just want you guys to see. the lifetime completion actually helps you be more successful in the music industry or just in general. of course for, for women, it is no good. but even for men as well, you know, even for me as well, because the civilian cable to sing about

like i won the about, you know, so these are the things that we need to speak more about. the fact that, you know, you don't need to be likes to get a point not to get out here. it doesn't change anything exact. yeah. yeah, we call next 40 this month. yeah. but that's the conversation for the day. yeah. yeah. you know, i've looked at these things that was big, what race is, what kind of? yeah, prisoners. different strokes for different folks, but everybody is that all the individually. but some people as odd years after the visit major and puppy stopped using the product they planned to split the message of think proud of your natural skin tone in the lyrics of the music from twins, 2 twins, a lesson very well lined. but i'm,

it's the pressure it takes more than just a fix skin to stay offend itself. how about self love and confidence to let someone know a bureau, a social media style would fall over $6000000.00 follows. although she refuses to conform to the evolving perceptions of beauty, she still stands twice as poor and has successfully carved the brand as a beautiful, proud black woman in how community. when you don't believe in yourself, you've got to meet and enough someone will be your guns as rising to cook top 6 me and follow up and take to cologne. and that has one of the biggest social media profiles in the whole of east africa. you had, that's right. with how much human cries comes from a painful takes and that was most mislead fully to have duck scheme kind of from young and old. a lot. i don't want this. i like people going through what i went through receiving comments from on to use. that's nice. katie is not good enough. i

should like to i probably to beat. so i wanted to be an example to these young ladies or young people that you can come from a poor familiar and you also fight for yourself and get something from me. they said, revenge is a dish. best stuff. cool. but what's happening, not cold, is another one, mind and husky for the real gal going about how business can help village internationally to accountants have made waves against much more fancied and famous competition from africa. and the 2022 african social style was at the people's choice of what. so when you push choice, why it makes me feel happy because i know kids are going to be inspired and they're going to know that things are possible. so it makes me really happy and excited because right now i feel like i did it. yes. the amazing achievement for the 28

year old, the big deal of online fame has brought unwanted attention, racist sexist and body shaming. comments still play come? yes, i'm doing the is happy going to let such thing spring head down. when they said you, they don't like your skin color, you black, you know, you to, for it to fix you as a woman. because i also want to feel like i'm used to phone enough like to the society beauty stuff. but uh, i had to sit down and look at myself and they say, even if i change myself, no one even gets people who want accept missed you. but if i stay as a yeah, maybe people were falling in love with me. and guess what? it husband right now, i love myself more than anyone like i look at myself in the mirror and i feel like, yeah, i mean with them not perfect or perfect. i mean, i don't want to change myself. engineer has now especially the foundation to helps

children appreciate who they are and where they come from, hoping that this generation can be a false positive change. so you have to flushing believe in yourself to be able to be strong and system to the want. so that's why it is my job, me as a press one to teach these kids that they can be anything they want in this life for them. right now, isn't that stunning, but sure. looks like staying true to one selves can be challenging in today's day and age. but let's look at 5. i have you seen this before? right. they're called facial or tribal marks. and if you're curious like me and want to see someone with these marks, then you'd probably have to visit in missouri, a south west region where this fading tradition is still being practice this 5 mega headwind. so let's find out more about all positive and negative perceptions.

official markings on with our young live ocean, leaving with them. facial markins traditionally used to signify identity, meeting age and for the purpose of beautification, well they send less amongst the young people today. this to pretty common amongst the yorba. imagine yourself with. so how does it feel to be one of the young measurements leaving with the tribal marks to try the mark is a traditionally funding where they asked to have the 1st one on the last by like 5 unlocks, the more likely it's monthly in case case of course you don't have a choice of data with hallmarks, which cried a 26 year old run. some online business with showcases the products itself and portrays itself was fairly goods and confidence. yet this wasn't always the case. while growing up, she was awesome,

candice. probably not really both because i different from the general populace. the napa position, the tend to be said, we get this. that tends to be bullied. so anything that will mix someone else will be bullied. and even though most of what also feels less than the other person, is actually on constitutional affairs, the rental vacancy of a person. well, supporters of tribal mach, you can see them as traditions passed on through generations. and what has so doesn't want future generations to experience the challenges she faced the tribal log, i think the the what is now as long as i some really nice. yeah. now live in, in, in ending it's howard. so our, our support from the fast that's this just different give in to event tribal mark because samsung things i foster the call today is that how we didn't mean some, some child that didn't give this, no my to know how the clumsy this when yes, i'm is gonzalez, joel supports the busiest society so odd with the
