Current global beauty standards

Content creator Dana shared the post on her TikTok page @danad1987, discussing how she didn't know women could have perfect bodies and faces, claiming that South African women were blessed to have both naturally.

According to the International Cultural Diversity Organisation, beauty looks different depending on where you are in the world. In East Asian countries like Japan, China, and Korea, pale skin has been seen as beautiful for centuries because it showed you were wealthy and didn't have to work outside in the sun.

In some African countries, beauty practices are completely different. In Ethiopia, lip plates are considered beautiful and show maturity, while in Myanmar and Thailand, neck rings are seen as attractive.

What people think is beautiful can also change over time, even in the same place. What was great 50 years ago might be totally different from what's trendy now. The main thing to remember is that beauty means different things to different people around the world.
