🔊 Look at the posters on your bedroom wall. Adam Levine has got great skin, hasn't he? Jennifer Lawrence has got a fantastic figure, right? The truth is, no they haven't - at least not all the time.

🔊 Film stars, pop stars and models have bad days, too, just like everyone else. They get spots and blemishes every now and then and they put on a few extra pounds from time to time, too. So how come we never see those photos?

🔊 Well, to start with, advertisers think that we don't want to see pictures of people looking less than perfect.

🔊 What's more, the stars themselves pay their publicists lots of money to make sure their pictures are perfect every time.

🔊 This means that every photo we see on the cover of a glossy magazine has been retouched.

🔊 Stomachs are flatter, legs are longer, lips are fuller and waists are slimmer.

🔊 Although we know this, we still can't help comparing ourselves to these unreal images and feeling unhappy about the way we look.

🔊 What we should do is say, "Wow! This photo is really phoney!" and laugh at the fake beauty we see in media images or better still ignore them altogether.

🔊 No one looks perfect 100% of the time, and we shouldn't let the media influence how we feel about ourselves.
