In this episode, Elle explores the viral article "Your Phone Is Why You Don't Feel Sexy" and its implications. She dives into how phone cameras, particularly the iPhone's distorted focal lengths, affect self-perception. Elle discusses the homogenization of beauty standards on social media, sharing personal insights about overcoming beauty comparison and the importance of following diverse creators who represent different beauty standards. The episode concludes with a thoughtful analysis of ever-changing beauty trends, from the BBL era to the current "skinny aesthetic," emphasizing the importance of developing a stable self-image regardless of shifting standards. Elle encourages viewers to do a digital detox and spend time with their loved ones in real life to heal their self-perception.
