10 Feel-Good Instagram Accounts that Disrupt Beauty Standards

Go on social media for 10 seconds and you’ll be hit with a wave of contoured, Facetuned, #fitspo photos that, and I say this with absolute confidence, don’t represent the majority of women out there.

There’s more than enough room in this world for every type of beautiful; regardless of skin tone, haircut, or shape and size of whichever body part is of mention. Beauty is meant to be diverse and we think these 10 Instagram accounts do a wonderful job of proving that.
