Despite the fact that it’s 2020 and the beauty industry has made major strides in ditching unrealistic standards, our appearances and our mental health are still very much intertwined. Of course, in the era of the selfie, it’s no surprise that social media has a lot to do with it.

In recent years, frequent use of social media has been linked to increased feelings of loneliness, depression, anxiety, and envy. In fact, according to a recent survey, 60% of people using social media reported that it has impacted their self-esteem in a negative way.

But there’s good news: Beauty brands like OGX are putting out positive messages and prioritizing not only self-care, but also self-love. With their campaign “Uncap the Love,” OGX is inspiring people to remove their self-imposed limits on love and let go of the things that are holding them back.

So, how exactly do you “uncap” your self-love and cultivate confidence inside and out during the social media age?

To help us answer that question, Create & Cultivate along with our friends at OGX have brought together a panel of powerhouse women for a candid conversation on uncapping self-confidence and self-love.
