81% of people edit their photos for social media according to a study last year. It was observed that hiding skin lesions, scars, pigmentation, and dark circles was the most common reason (36.3%) for editing a photograph. Maximum participants admitted that using social media (71%) and photo-editing applications (66%) made them more conscious of their skin lesions and imperfections. though the study was only sent to 550 people, imagine the numbers on a larger scale. So crazy! It’s so important that we are all aware of the amount of photo altering goes onto social media. Keep that in mind before you compare yourself to others!
