Bathroom Mirrors - Loving your Reflection

Bathroom mirrors can be difficult to look in if you're feeling down on your looks – but you need to learn to love the skin you're in.

For many women, bathroom mirrors can be cruel. Harsh light, before make-up has been applied, can leave you examining every wrinkle, blemish and grey hair. And that's just in small bathroom mirrors. If you have a full length bathroom mirror, size and shape are thrown into the equation alongside fears of cellulite and bulging bits that shouldn't bulge.

Bathroom Mirrors: Love what you see

But covering up all the bathroom mirrors or avoiding putting up bathroom mirrors isn't practical – we need bathroom mirrors to apply make-up for example. And most of us feel the need to check our looks before we set out for work to make sure we look acceptable. But the battle between a positive, healthy body image and a negative body image is an on-going one for many women. Negative body images can lead to feelings of anxiety or shame and unfair comparisons with other women's bodies. How women react to what they see in their bathroom mirrors is crucial; a negative body image can lead to eating disorders and depression, impacting on a woman's happiness and relationships.

Bathroom Mirrors: The power of perception

If you look in your bathroom mirror and feel a negative body image, you are not alone. The celebrity culture and objectification of women has put pressure on many to feel they need to live up to unrealistic ideals of beauty. The popularity of cosmetic surgery has soared, as the message that all women need to continually diet and that aging is unattractive is hammered home. Many women look in their bathroom mirrors only to feel inadequate. But changing how you feel about the reflection in the bathroom mirror isn't about changing yourself physically, but about changing your mindset. Healthy eating and regular exercise boost self esteem and promote healthy looking skin, but being positive about what you've got and comfortable in your own skin emits a confidence that everyone will find attractive.

Bathroom Mirrors: Accept what you see

Accept weight fluctuations over your life cycle – we are all different aged 19 then 49. And try avoid focusing on specific body part that you dislike as this will make you focus on the negative rather than the bits you do like. Conformity in beauty is boring. When you look in your bathroom mirrors, experiment with hair styles, colours, clothes and make-up that reflect your uniqueness and makes you feel good. The more you embrace your body image, the happier you'll be when you catch a glimpse of your reflection in bathroom mirrors.
