Some of these retouches are seriously over-the-top! Still, even knowing that I'll never look like Barbie certainly isn't going to put the brakes on my retinol/peptides/sunscreen routine! Here's my take: http://theskinstudio.blogspot.com/2010/02/attainable-beauty.html Cheers! Excellent post! Some of these retouches are seriously over-the-top!

I'm glad that you posted this because these standards are so unreal and unfair. It simply reminds me that I shouldn't get caught up in trying to fit these standards of beauty because they are after all false. There is not just one way to be beautiful and that is what the magazines are trying to get at! Yes, it’s true and very obvious!

I'm always completely disgusted when I see photos that have OBVIOUSLY been retouched. I would love to see a magazine where none of the photos area altered and anything featured costs less than $100.
