Beauty ideals on the Internet

Through the use of image editing software and automatic filters, children and young people are confronted with unrealistic body images on social networks. Influencers, whose job it is to look as good as possible because it earns them money, sometimes also distort young people's perceptions with their content. An unreflected approach to this content can lead to their own body image being influenced. The brochure explains the phenomena associated with unrealistic beauty ideals on the internet and provides practical tips on how to reduce the pressure they exert.
