Toxic beauty standards that favor fair skin and stereotypical features have a negative impact on women and young girls in Filipino society, which can lead to feelings of lack and pressure to fit in.

The upholding of these detrimental norms undermines people's self-esteem and promotes bias and discrimination based on physical appearance, fostering a culture in which difference is valued more highly than uniformity.

Social media's give influence causes the pressure to meet unrealistic beauty standards, so it's critical to question and change harmful beauty standards in order to support inclusivity, diversity, and self-acceptance.
