The Loose Women ladies are taking a stand against body image issues in their latest campaign – and they’re showing unedited photos of themselves to do so.
Previously in 2017 the cast and crew launched its award-winning body confidence campaign Body Stories, with the tagline: ‘You can look but you can’t retouch’.
In as little as four years, however, the world has dramatically changed, as filtering and editing images is now more common than ever before.
Recent studies show nine in 10 young women are editing pictures of themselves, with many ‘depressed’ that they cannot live up to social media ideals.
Another report found more than a third of girls won’t post a selfie without a filter, and that seeing unrealistic standards of beauty can be bad for mental health.
Loose Women viewers say this is something they as parents and grandparents are worried about too, with Loose Women’s exclusive poll revealing that 78% of parents are concerned about the effect edited images on social media have on their child’s body confidence.
