Expert advice

Don't lose yourself in order to be beautiful

In other words, in the current society, appearance has become an important basis for individual competitiveness in many fields.

On the other hand, "face value anxiety" reflects the intensity of current social competition to a certain extent, and the evaluation of individual ability is not only at the level of "soft power", but extends to the level of people's body and life.

　　"The'face value economy' itself is to use'face value' as a commodity to create its exclusive value. But at the same time, we must realize that the face value economy must also be supervised and managed to prevent related market chaos." Pan Tong said.

　　For young people with "anxious appearance", Pan Tong suggested that for most people, "anxious appearance" is unnecessary.

The foundation for young people to realize the value of life is to continuously improve their comprehensive abilities on the basis of self-love. Otherwise, I am afraid that they will only be "fearing that the years of the water will be lost", and "the beauty of Zhu Yan will be overwhelmed by the mirror."

　　Everyone is a unique individual. A variety of postures is what human society should look like. Everyone pursues beauty, but to understand "a thousand faces", young people should pass regular work and rest, appropriate clothing, and a healthy life. Civilized demeanor, with personality charm to infect others.
