I heartily agree that TRUE beauty comes from within and that we shouldn’t worry so much about what’s on the outside and start thinking more about what’s inside. Yet I have a slight objection to the some of the comments I’ve seen. I believe that God created things to be beautiful. Just look around you, the world we live in is beautiful; so it’s pointless to say that God doesn’t want a girl to look beautiful on the outside as well as the inside. I find it sad that many christians girl have taken “inside” beauty way too far. They focus so much on being beautiful on the inside that they neglect the outside. God wants you to take care of both. To say that looking good on the outside is wrong, I think is completely absurd. You have to be carful how far you let the pendelum swing. On one hand the world had stressed outward beauty to the point that you don’t know what’s real and what isn’t; and yet I have found that the church has stressed inward beauty so much that girls form lazy habits, eat far too much, and dress sloppily. I do not think it is a sin to wear nice clothes, maybe a little make-up if you like it and to make sure your hair looks nice. I find it sad that many teen girls and women who are christians are often overweight, slovenly dressed and look as if they haven’t brushed their hair in weeks. I do not say this to be cruel, I feel sorry for those women because most of them don’t even know what their doing. They have been raised that way and many of them don’t know any better. You must find the balance, God has created you to please Him both with your inward and outward beauty. I still believe that you can take outward beauty too far but I also think that you can take inward beauty to far as well.

I don’t know if anyone brought this up, but Dove is owned by Unilever. Unilever also owns AXE, that evil men’s perfume company that makes horrible commercials that objectify women. Women are shown half-naked and chasing after the men who wear this perfume. It’s disgusting and it’s aired constantly, right in front of our children. So, um, I wouldn’t be promoting dove products if I were you.

Satan does it everytime and we all fall in his trap because he cleverly disguises his lies into things of beauty. Our world’s definition of beauty is a lie.

i agree with what Carolyn Mahaney said! girls have a need to feel beautiful, & when we watch tv or see people on the front of magazines we compare ourselves…then we think “i dont measure up, something must be wrong with me” As girls we need to realize that we are “fearfully & wonderfully made”! true beauty comes from the inside…our security should come from God…=) even when we have no makeup on, God still thinks we r beautiful (haha! don’t get me wrong, i think makeup is a great thing) “Because you are precious in my eyes and honored, and i love you…”(Isa. 43:4)(ESV)
