Bio-Oil is funding a new body confidence performance project in schools with The Body Gossip charity, following the discovery that ‘Almost half of women feel they can’t wear the clothes they want to’ and worries about ‘skin, weight, stretch marks and hair all increase with age.’
Bio-Oil’s mission is to inspire a life-time of body confidence, starting in schools and inspiring women of all ages. They hope to do that with My Body Philosophy.
Some of the most worrying statistics from Bio Oil’s survey are:
- When looking back at pictures of their teenage self, 27% said they should have embraced their figure more and don’t know why they weren’t more confident
- Almost a third of women (29.45%) feel under pressure about the way they look from friends and family
- Women aged 25 and over worry about their bodies almost as much as they worry about money and family
Bio-Oil and Body Gossip are taking a selection of Body Philosophies into schools, with the hope of inspiring body confidence amongst young people. As part of the campaign Bio-Oil will be funding Body Gossip to run a Body Confidence Performance Project in 20 schools nationwide. From 1st June to 31st October you can nominate a school to receive a free Body Confidence Workshop here.
My body confidence is pretty low and I desperately want my daughter to have a more positive view of her body as she grows up. We can all help to form the basis of the project by adding our messages and philosophies regarding our bodies to the My Body Philosophy website here. Simply select your font, type in your body philosophy and share to the wall. Easy.
Do you have 2 minutes to add your body philosophy to the wall? Are you confident about your body?
