Maxx is an amazing person, one of the most funny and fun people I have ever met. He is a great songwriter, and writes all kinds of things. Here is an original piece by Maxx, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Skin is an amazing thing that you have. It all looks different, and the media is very misleading. Even the most beautiful celebrities on magazines are not as flawless as they appear. The cover alone may cost $30,000 dollars to be photoshopped to perfection, leaving the reader eager to go to extremes to try and apply those fake standards to their own life. True beauty is not cookie cutter, and doing everything you can to keep your skin healthy is a really important priority. Every woman wants to have tons of attention, but taking care of yourself and accepting who you are as an individual is most important. Your confidence will shine through to other people. To help you out with the realities of just how human celebrities are, I scrounged up a few examples of before and after photoshopped pictures of magazine covers. This is not a message to bash on pretty women, because all three of these women are NATURALLY beautiful. You are too.

Keira Knightley is beautiful, but just remember that the look of not flawless skin is unavoidable.

Beyonce is a gorgeous woman who is a great advocate for women, but at the same time she will not show her true self. Look how beautiful she is in the Russian version(published this year, two years after the one on the left). They ‘forgot’ or did not realize that there was a set skin lightening for her. Why? They did not see a problem, she is gorgeous!

Faith Hill is a wonderful singer and has always been in good shape. She looks amazing, and also her age. Life has wonderful stages, and everybody gets older. Taking care of your skin with great and healthy products will keep you happier than trying to chase something that isn’t there. Love yourself because you are beautiful.
