This pursuit often includes rigorous fitness routines, skincare regimens, and sometimes even cosmetic procedures. While some engage with it casually, the trend can lead to significant pressure and preoccupation with looks among participants. The constant comparison and pursuit of an idealized aesthetic can negatively affect self-esteem and body image.
