Cultural standards of beauty

Cultural standards of beauty refer to the set of ideals that define what is considered attractive or desirable within a particular society. These standards vary widely across different cultures and can include physical features such as skin color, body shape, and facial features, as well as grooming habits, clothing styles, and other cosmetic practices. While cultural beauty standards can be influenced by factors such as history, religion, and media representation, they are ultimately rooted in deeply held cultural beliefs and values. Critiques of cultural beauty standards focus on the consequences of these ideals, especially when they promote unrealistic or unhealthy body images.
