In today's world, the idea of what is 'beautiful' often seems to come from one place: our screens. Social media influencers and global advertising campaigns present a very specific look, making teenagers feel they must achieve it to be accepted. This pressure is not new, but the internet has made it feel more intense than ever before, creating a single, narrow standard for everyone to follow.

In Vietnam, the influence of the Korean Wave, or 'Hallyu', is particularly strong. A flawless, radiant complexion known as 'glass skin' has become a major goal for many young people. This trend, heavily promoted by popular Korean cosmetic brands, has become a dominant force in the local beauty scene, shaping what many consider the ideal appearance.

However, constantly chasing a single ideal can be harmful. It can lead to anxiety and lower self-esteem when teenagers compare themselves to these perfect images. When they feel they cannot meet these standards, it can damage their confidence. True beauty should be about celebrating diverse looks, not making everyone feel they have to look the same.

It is important to remember that real beauty is not about having a certain type of skin or following the latest trend. It’s about being confident in who you are. Developing your own unique style and appreciating your individual features is far more rewarding than trying to copy someone else. Authenticity is the real standard to aim for.
