I am slightly confused about the phrase "Beauty is skin deep"?

Posted: December 19th, 2009 under skin beauty.

You know how people always say that beauty is skin deep? In other words, how you look does not correlate with who you are on the inside. However, i believe the hardships people face can sometimes how through their appearance. For example, think about alcoholics. They age at a faster rate and it clearly shows. You know what i’m saying? The same goes to people who do drugs. So why do people say that how you look on the outside does not reflect who you are in the inside? It’s just confusing me.
I never understood that phrase properly.

The quote means that a person should not judge others by how they look. Just because a person looks like a druggy that does not mean they are a druggy, or that they condone that lifestyle. Even if they really are a druggy, that does not mean they should be judged simply by the way they look. They might might be wonderful beneath their rough exterior — like a muddy pearl.

Hope that helped.

  1. Beauty is only skin deep is true and as you age most people lose this as their skin ages. However if you are a nice person and smile a lot the illusion of beauty is still there. Some older women can be sensational – like Dame Judi Dench for instance and Catherine Deneuve.

  2. It’s only means what you are born with, not what you do to yourself. If you are born with a huge nose and sticky-outy ears, it doesn’t reflect your personality. I agree with you on that how your appearance looks can sometimes reflect how you deal with issues, but it’s not a perfect phrase. Don’t take it too seriously, it just means not to sterotype. An ugly person could be the sweetest person on the planet, but no one would know because they never talk to them for fear of them acting ugly, too.
