Beauty
or »how to look better«
Beauty fascinates humankind and has been a part of our cultural history for thousands of years. Even in ancient Egypt, beauty was highly valued, whereas today's multimedia marketing of beauty isn't always conducive to beauty.
In the classical philosophical context, beauty is a central element of aesthetics, i.e., perception. Beauty thus acquires many levels of sensation and meaning, which are evaluated very differently by each individual. In addition, there are age-related changes in the perception of beauty and very different intercultural views on what is "beautiful" and "not beautiful."
Clichédly, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. However, only those who find themselves beautiful are beautiful. Beauty always requires an authentic, confident, and unaffected charisma. Coco Chanel rightly said: "Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself."
Beauty is a statement, and true beauty always comes from all sides, from within and without. Following Fischli & Weiss, I have highlighted ten points in the context of HOW TO LOOK BETTER. The most important: Only those who accept that the aging process cannot be stopped, but can at best be slowed down, can be beautiful: ACCEPT AGING AS INEVITABLE. A reflective approach to one's own health and an open mindset promote zest for life and make us biologically younger than our calendar years.

Skin can also be beautiful, even if it has wrinkles and asymmetries. The golden ratio doesn't have to be present either.
Beautiful skin is free of irritations, well-circulated, and has a certain evenness. It has a good complexion, but it doesn't have to be flawless. Fine-tuning can make a decisive contribution to youthful and, above all, healthy skin that exhibits the aforementioned characteristics. One thing is certain, however, that only top-quality, well-cared-for skin can be beautiful.
