Shiny hair, clear skin, and a cinched waist are the only three agreed upon beauty standards for women worldwide, according to Dr. Alaa Arif a consultant dermatologist. However, other beauty standards tend to differ from one culture to another and even over time she said. She said that media plays a major role in changing the beauty standards. Among the new trends in beauty are women who prefer to look healthy. Dr. Arif said women tend to do so by adopting a healthy lifestyle, eating healthy food and exercising.
Women tend to go nowadays for non-surgical treatments such as the laser, fillers as well as a rejuvenation and anti-aging treatments. In some cases they also go for liposuctions.
