Back in the Victorian era, beauty trends were like stepping into a dark and eerie fairy tale. Pale, almost ghostly complexions were all the rage, with ladies going to extreme lengths using lead-based powders that probably did more harm than good. Then there were those creepy, doll-like porcelain masks that some women wore to achieve an unnaturally flawless face – it's like living in a real-life haunted porcelain doll collection. The obsession with tight-lacing corsets gave off major Tim Burton vibes, reshaping bodies into these unnatural, almost caricature-like silhouettes. And let's not forget the allure of arsenic-laced beauty potions; apparently, a toxic glow was considered fashionable. In hindsight, it's a good thing we've moved on from those hauntingly bizarre beauty rituals!

As they discuss personal experiences and broader societal trends, they ask the tough question: Who's to blame for these ever-evolving ideals? Tune in for a candid conversation on the challenges women face in navigating beauty expectations and the impact of these standards on self-image and confidence.

Do you get rid of your body hair? Do you hate your periods? Are you debating a nose job? Why? Writer and broadcaster Afua Hirsch has been tracing how we've become so loathing of our bodies. In this chat with Fearne, Afua explains where our modern, Western notions of beauty come from, and why she's advocating for us to celebrate how powerful our bodies are. She's rediscovering and reclaiming rituals her ancestors will have done before Western ideals became the norm, and points out that wanting to change your facial features to conform to beauty trends will erase your ancestry. Fearne and Afua chat about a desire for more fluidity around sexuality and identity, as well as why we should respect the wisdom that comes with age rather than fearing it. Plus, how to dig deep and ask yourself: “Do I think this, or have I been taught this?” Afua's book, Decolonising My Body, is out now.
