Did you know that the three most popular social media apps ALL offer an easy/automatic airbrush filter?? With just one quick swipe, anybody can “enhance” their appearance.

When you stop and think about it, it’s SAD that this is such a mainstream feature! 🥲 I had enough body image issues as a 13-year-old when I would simply compare myself to images in magazines, and now 13-year-olds all over can easily swipe to their airbrushed self! On top of it, once they put the phone down or they look in the mirror, that filter is gone… and most likely, they’re feeling worse about their appearance.

As you know I don’t use any filters across social media. We are certified #RealPost up in here 💓 (Not using it is also a way that I protect my mental health!) On that same note, I don’t want to shame anyone who does use filters, that’s their right. (I just hope they are honest about it hehe 🤪)

I’m curious, do you use these filters? How do they make you feel?? ⬇️
