You look more beautiful than you feel

I watch this ad in youtube by dove and was touched by the message. Women pay too much attention what they don't like in they feature that they missed the good features in them. The ad is right, women must focus more on the feature that they like most and they will feel better about themselves. Are you the same?

I am a very special person. I don't care the face much, but if there is any acnes, I'm very worried and will try many medicines. I like the face smooth without anything. Actually, I'm a very common girl, not ugly and not beautiful. Maybe I should find more specials from my face.

Of course we should take care what is with us. But we should not ask for more either. Every woman is beautiful in their special way even how plain they feel they are.

Exactly!
Women forgot that they are special in many ways.
Most women focus a lot on their physical looks neglecting the other good qualities they possessed.
I can say that sometimes I do give special attention to my physical looks but I am not that bothered with it.
As long as I am confident to carry myself then I am good with it.
I try to improve myself in other fields rather than giving more importance to my physical aspect.

yes, I agree. I dress up not for people to like me or look at me but because I feel great it and i am comfortable.

Hi BannedHelsing! I can relate to that. People often rely the appreciation from other person/crowd. It's just recently that I've learned to appreciate myself after I came from a very exhausting and traumatic relationship. I lost my self-esteem. Anyways, it's great to receive compliments from people we don't know most especially but yes, it should start within us. Some of my friends would like to look like the celebrity they admire. It's been a long time since I've last worn colored contact lenses and changed the color of my hair. I know it's another way to enhance our beauty but it's expensive.
I'm happy I've realized I really don't have to change the way I look. I've just taught myself to change my clothing style into something that will compliment my figure and be happy inside. My fiance loves me more than I love myself. . Beauty starts from within and that is true because in that way you can be more beautiful as it gives you the natural glow.

Well.. As I always tell my students... "I'm not pretty... but I know, I'm not ugly." hahaha! Anyway, though I have a lot of not-so good features and my students usually say that I need to have surgery (they are Koreans, that's why) but I will not. Hahaha! It's not the beauty that matters anyway... it's the confidence... hoho! Though I'm still underestimating myself sometimes but when I stand in front of the mirror everyday, I always say "I'm pretty... You're pretty, Cyjh... Yes, I'm pretty!" Hahaha! Looks weird but it sounds right as one of my favorite professors told us before that "You're what you think you are! You will feel ugly if every time you look at the mirror, you say 'I'm ugly,I'm ugly.' You will be lazy if every morning you wake up, you say, ' So boring... I feel lazy today' so the whole day, you'll be lazy. So think of what you want to be... and say it in front of a mirror to yourself... but of course, not with others watching you.. haha!"
So for me... it's not a matter of beauty.. it's a matter of confidence. :)
Anyway, as you said, we have our own uniqueness and 'be proud of what beauty you have' and not 'be ashamed of the bad features you have'.
Thanks for a good post! :)

Well said. Surely, even if you have all the beauty in the world, but you don't have self confidence, it is worthless.

The female beauty is a matter of charm. It all depends on what we feel, what we think about ourselves. If I think I'm beautiful, then I will be. If I think I'm ugly - guess what - you are :) But our mood is like a mirror and the other people are inside.
