Growing Up AAPI: Caught Between Two Beauty Standards


Listen Later

What happens when Eastern beauty says “porcelain” and Western beauty says “sun-kissed”? Welcome to the identity crisis of growing up Asian American.

In this episode of GlowJob, we’re breaking down the conflicting beauty standards AAPI babes have grown up with—and how we’re rewriting the rules.

We get into skin lightening culture vs tanning trends, the media’s obsession with a single beauty type, and the rise of the ABG (Asian Baby Girl) as a subversive icon. From generational pressure to barely-there media rep, we’re unpacking what it means to shape your own beauty standards in a world that hasn’t always reflected you.

It’s funny, it’s personal, it’s painfully real—and it’s exactly the convo we wish we heard growing up.
