Dove's Injectable Billboard is made up of thousands of syringes and it makes a statement about the unhealthy beauty standards and pressure placed upon girls and young women. Specifically, this billboard calls out the number of cosmetic injectable procedures performed on teens.
Dove's commitment to promoting authentic beauty and challenging unrealistic beauty standards is ongoing, especially at a time when augmented reality beauty filters are becoming more advanced. By encouraging young women to embrace their unique features, Dove is helping to redefine beauty norms and promote self-love and confidence.
The billboard appeared in Toronto’s Square One mall for just three days but its message about toxic beauty standards will live on through social media and digital content.
