International Beauty Day
The special holiday of September 9, International Beauty Day, owes its appearance to the Committee of Aesthetics and Cosmetology (CIDESCO)
It began its activities in June 1946 in Europe under the leadership of D Dumont and J Porson, and the first congress was held in Brussels The scale and influence of this organization has been confirmed by time and the invaluable contribution of specialists who began cooperation The 1995 Congress gave birth to the holiday, and 4 years later, Russia, by joining the International Committee and becoming its full member, marked the beginning of official recognition on its territory
Cosmetology is a field of medicine, and the committee aimed to unite knowledge and ideas in this field The great impact on society, as the founders predicted, has been confirmed Today, beauty industry insiders promise strong growth in the consumption of goods and services in this segment throughout the world
World Beauty Day is truly a professional holiday for everyone whose field of activity is related to it They carry out an honorable mission to make people, by the way, not only women, more attractive: manufacturers and sellers of cosmetics, hairdressers and makeup artists, cosmetologists and plastic surgeons The latter will definitely not be left without work, because the demand for their help has increased more than ever And although it is believed that beauty comes from within, some effort must be made to maintain it, and the latest scientific developments will contribute to this
Beauty occupies an important place in human life, and this was appreciated by ancient Greek philosophers Russian classics F Dostoevsky, A Pushkin and others also gave their assessment of human beauty and its influence on the world around us A Chekhov’s quote about how beautifully and harmoniously a personality should be structured is very indicative
Beauty contests try to demonstrate the connection between the external and internal world The goddess Aphrodite is considered the very first winner of such a competition, and documentary evidence dates back to the 5th century BC e A more modern version of the competition appeared in 1888, and the most famous was and remains “Miss World” Various events are dedicated to September 9, with the goal of choosing the best of the best An alternative can be considered festivals and events in which those who do not conform to standard ideas participate, because International Beauty Day is also an indicator of a tolerant attitude
Glossy publications, the Internet, and video blogs in particular, play an important role in popularizing the holiday At least once in her life, every girl fell under the influence of stereotypical ideas about beauty Educational exhibitions organized for the holiday will introduce those interested in how ideals changed in different eras and whether it is worth blindly following fashion trends
On this day, the beauty industry opens its doors to everyone Trying to advertise themselves, many salons, spas and fitness centers organize free or good discounted promotions and sessions Celebrating a holiday at a beauty spot, pampering yourself with new perfumes or cosmetics is a great way to spend the day
This is a holiday for everyone, regardless of whether you follow traditions or welcome innovation, prefer bright individuality or naturalness For everyone, “beauty” has its own meaning, but certainly a strong one and not necessarily with sacrifices
