What place for beauty in the body positive movement» ?
The body positive movement, you have surely heard about it in recent years. And for good reason, this movement aimed at accepting oneself and one's body as it is, is very popular. At Q.Re, we are committed to revealing the natural beauty that lies dormant in each of you. So here, we are fully with the body positive movement: the one that wants to free itself from the dictates of beauty imposed by our society! !
But where does this movement come from??
First, let's go back a bit to the history of the body positive movement. This movement was born in the United States with Instagram and its hashtags.
The #healthy quickly became all the rage with all the healthy recipes highlighted and women's bodies worthy of magazines. Often going in the direction of the diktats of society in terms of body and beauty, it quickly led to obsessive behaviors towards food favoring orthorexia (obsessive desire to ingest healthy food with the systematic rejection of foods perceived as unhealthy).
In contrast to this movement, the #fatpositive advocates the acceptance of generous forms.
One thing leading to another, as if in search of a happy medium, American Internet users launched the #bodypositive movement to remind us that we all have different bodies and that, ultimately, the main thing is to feel good about them!
But what does beauty have to do with it??
You may be wondering how beauty has its place within this movement, which is more often centered on the body and its forms. While it is true that historically, the body positive movement was born out of a desire to encourage all women (and men) to take ownership of their bodies, we can also stretch this concept to beauty. Finally, the goal of this movement is to assume ourselves as we are, and this also goes over assuming our face, our features, our freckles, our dark circles, our dimples, our nose, our eyes just accept what!i !
At Q.Re we reveal your beauty through natural ingredients that enhance your two greatest beauty assets: your skin and your hair, to help you accept them as they are (dry skin, flat hair, curly hair). You are beautiful and we help you reveal this beauty!!
And how can we be body positive today
First, STOP COMPARING YOURSELF. This is probably the most important point. In a world where social networks allow us to observe everyone's life with the click of a button, it becomes easy to compare ourselves. But it's useless, first because the networks don't always reflect reality, and also because you are unique: your life, your experiences and your beauty belong only to you and no one else. . Don't judge other people's bodies either, because you're not allowed to and it won't make you feel better!
Next, pay attention to your internal dialogue. Observe the criticisms you make of yourself (I'm too fat, I'm too pale, I have cellulite, I have pimples, etc.) and turn these aggressive and negative reflections into softer and more caring words. It will do you crazy good..
Finally, treat your body with respect and do things that are pleasurable to YOU and make you feel good. Again, this varies for everyone, but the important thing is that you are attentive to your well-being.
In the end, what is essential is to learn to love yourself. Because you are beautiful as you are and your beauty is unique: there is only one you on this planet, be proud of it!
