A world full of stereotypes impossible to reach
Social networks have exploded selfies, photos with filters and the slogan of unrealistic aesthetic standards. It is a very demanding scenario, especially for women who must adapt to these beauty criteria.
Many photos are taken of both the body and the face. A face without blemishes is required: no acne, no open pores, no blemishes, symmetry and smooth skin. Something that is not easy to achieve.
Thus, an idea of beauty spreads that generates insecurity in many women. Those women who do not have a perfect image are criticized. Also, they suffer from comparisons. It is a situation that causes insecurity.
Something curious is that many filters edit the photos. They manage to change reality to make it similar to aesthetic paradigms. However, the influencer Joanna Kenny is committed to showing the reality of her body and her face.

The beauty of the natural and real face
Much is said about ecofeminism: a culture where women do not depend on masculine criteria. A kind of new ecosystem, different from machismo. Within this idea, new aesthetic patterns are elucidated.
This is how Joanna Kenny has uploaded photos of her stripped of retouching to her Instagram. It is shown as it is, not just without filters; also exhibiting her face without arrangements or makeup. Her desire is to show reality.
And what is the reality? Well, women don’t always have a porcelain complexion. To achieve that beauty, effort is needed: makeup, attention and retouching the photos with filters. A reality that many ignore.

The idea is that women feel good about themselves
Many celebrities who promote a “body positive” message and free of beauty stereotypes. And it is that the social pressure to look for beauty is very strong. Also, it is not something that has positive repercussions.
On her Instagram @joannajkenny this woman posts photos of herself. She does it with her body as it is, without touch-ups that cover her cellulite and other “imperfections” typical of a real body. She too, she uploads her selfies without waxing her hair. Likewise, she without a drop or powder of makeup.
