Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This report explores the increasing psychological impact of beauty filters, focusing on their connection to body dysmorphia and depressive symptoms. It uses a survey of social media users and existing research to understand how these filters, which range from subtle skin smoothing to significant facial alterations, negatively affect mental health. The study addresses the challenges and limitations of this type of research, including ethical considerations and the difficulty of measuring psychological effects in a rapidly changing digital environment.
