The Beauty Myth

A cartoon about beauty standards.

We are often told that attractiveness depends on constant maintenance, effort, and self-improvement. This cartoon pokes fun at the gap between beauty-industry messaging and the affection people often feel for us in everyday life.


Myth: You must stay on top of your beauty regime if you want your man to think you are attractive.

Fact: He will think you are a babe, even though you have not cleansed your pores in over a month.
