I am so glad you are still here after reading the clothing chapter. Most likely this one will step on your toes. But I pray you will receive it as love from one sister to another. I am only sharing these things with you to help you find freedom that you don’t even realize you are missing.
When my eyes were opened, I started questioning everything I had been taught and realized the enormous amount of lies I believed.
In this chapter we are going to expose lies that we have been taught about our face and body.
How many promises have you heard about a product or service that will improve your outward appearance?
“Check out this miracle wrinkle erasing cream.”
“Look at this super-duper eyelid lifting lotion.”
“You need this cellulite blaster.”
“Get the body you have always dreamed.”
“Checkout how I went from a size 12 to size 2 in 3 months.”
We could go on and on with these one liners we see and hear everywhere. How many of them have you believed? I confess I have believed many of them and allowed my body image to be distorted by these “promises” from total strangers most likely trying to sell me something.
Before those of you who sell skin care get your feathers ruffled, please hear me out. I am a huge advocate of helping women have healthy skin. Good skin care is a great way to help prevent skin cancer, psoriasis, and other skin conditions.
But marketing products to “help” women with their “flaws” is a part of the problem.
When we tell women it’s not acceptable to look whatever age they are, we make them think that there is something wrong with them. Be sure and listen to this episode to be encouraged and stop believing lies. Order the book on Amazon https://amzn.to/3ViCEJ3
