Looksmaxxing - A New Trend
Today there is a new trend for young men called "Looksmaxxing". It offers advice on how men could improve their looks, ranging from beauty products ("softmaxxing") to cosmetic surgery ("hardmaxxing"), and even “bonesmashing” – literally applying force with yours fists or a hammer in an attempt to realign the jaw and improve facial features.
Men and boys are aspiring to unrealistic beauty ideals and engaging in risky procedures – from steroid use to surgery – as they value beauty over other virtues such as intelligence, character and health.
Most of us understand that hitting yourself with a hammer in an attempt to increase your beauty is madness, yet it’s just a reflection of a culture that values how we look over who we are.
God's Word tells us that while people look at outwards appearances, God looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7).
