no I don’t want to be a clean girl.

'Clean girl talk"

The O.G clean girl hair style.

What’s the definition of a clean girl? Is it someone who has the most perfect sleek bun? Is it someone whose room never gets messy? Or someone who has their life planned out?

Well the actual definition is

“The term clean girl aesthetic refers to a beauty, fashion, and lifestyle trend based around a look that’s intended to appear elegantly casual but also minimalist and effortless.”

Hailey Rhode Bieber (née Baldwin) is an American model, businesswoman, socialite, and creative director.

Hailey Beiber is literally the definition of a “clean girl”. She has launched a successful brand in 2022 named “Rhode” which promotes her clean girl style, skincare. Hailey always goes for that makeup look where you can’t even tell she’s wearing makeup. It’s so beautiful and it enhances her natural features.

But what about the girls who can’t wear natural makeup? What about the girls who are covered in hyperpigmentation and can’t feel beautiful? People always associate “clean girl aesthetic” with even, bright and no acne prone skin along with a sleek bun. What about the girls with naturally curly hair, which is damaged by straightening it everyday so now, it’s a disaster.

What about the girls who can’t even bear to get out of bed anymore due to their depression. The girls who can’t simply do a sleek bun because of their insecurities? The girls who have to look after everyone but themselves? How about the girls who binge eat sugar after saying they will quit?

Social media always will present positives. No matter what. No one will really show you how life is like. Not everything is about having the perfected night routine!

On Tik Tok, you are constantly haunted by “how to become …” but what if you can’t?

We live in a society where beauty standards are changing so rapidly. People cant even decide on what they want.

What we have to understand is to really achieve that clean girl aesthetic - you need money and confidence - simple as.

Why do you need money to become that “clean girl”?

If you’re financially stable you can’t afford expenses like facials, top skin care brands and daily maintenance for them. Sadly you can’t achieve a celebrity’s skin because you simply aren’t them.

Confidence is key

Learn to appreciate your natural features and skin and you will enhance your own beauty. Nowadays, people will always compare themselves and wish they were someone who they look up to on social media. You can do that all you want but it’s not going to help you.

The more you work out, eat healthier and focus on yourself, the more you will feel ‘clean’. It isn’t always about the outside!

Confidence makes up beauty by 90%

I don’t want to become a clean girl.

I have too many things going on in my life. Some days I can’t sleep till 4am and I wake up around 2pm. My life doesn’t have a routine but I’ve always thought maybe I should get one. I’ve been sleeping like this since I was 10, I guess some girls aren’t meant to be a clean girl. We are deemed as the “messy girls’ and we always will be. I’m definitely a Type B girl, I’m nearly late to everything, my hair is a MESS due to damage from heat, I barely sleep and I can’t ever have a routine for my life. There’s always something new happening that I have to deal with.

I love the clean girl aesthetic but it isn’t made for me. I am not supposed to have that life and nor will I crave it.
