Let’s be honest Mean Girl Culture? I know it well. I’ve lived it. And I’m not here for it anymore.
When I started in the modeling industry, it didn’t take long to realize how deeply toxic it could be.
The silent pressure.
The not-so-silent comments.
Your worth being measured in cheekbones and how visible your hip bones were.
It was never about health or strength—it was about shrinking, disappearing, becoming some version of “perfect” that looked the same on everyone.
You learn quickly that compliments come with conditions
"You look so good—have you lost weight?"
"You’d book more if your face looked a little more angular."
"Great body… especially for someone with curves."
"Are your breasts real?"
"Do you think you can fix your teeth? Their crooked on the bottom."
Translation? You’re not enough. Not quite. Just a little tweak away from worthy.
It’s messed up. And worse, it trains us to turn that same judgment on other women.
To compete. To compare. To criticize.
It’s the foundation of toxic beauty standards—and I call BS on all of it.
But here’s the thing: I unlearned all of that. And I’m still unlearning it every day.
Mean Girl Culture Isn’t Just in the Industry, It’s Everywhere
Even outside of that world, it follows us. I can’t tell you how many times women have made comments about my dresses being “a bit short” or “showing a lot of leg.”
Newsflash I’m almost 5’10. Everything feels short.
And you know what else? I like my legs. I’m not here to apologize for them—or shrink to make someone else more comfortable.
But it’s deeper than clothing. It’s the passive-aggressive compliments.
The “just being honest” digs.
The judgment masked as concern.
This is exactly why we need women supporting women, not tearing each other down.
And it’s exhausting.
We Built FAITH+FEARLESS Beauty to Be the Anti-Mean Girl Skincare Brand
This brand isn’t just clean Canadian skincare, it’s a rebellion against all the BS we’ve been taught about beauty, age, and worth.
It's for the woman who's evolving, not erasing.
Who uplifts instead of competes.
Who cheers when another woman shines—even if she’s shining in a different way.
We believe that
Confidence isn’t a pie. More for her doesn’t mean less for you.
There’s no “right” way to be beautiful.
You don’t need to change your face to be seen—you just need to own your space.
This is skincare for confident women 30+, for those who want less steps, more glow, and none of the judgment.
So What Does “No Mean Girl Energy” Look Like?
It looks like this
Compliments over critiques
Celebrating individuality over conformity
Giving genuine compliments (use eye contact and smile)
Sharing the glow-up, not gatekeeping it
Skincare that enhances, not erases
We use botanical ingredients, proven actives, and cruelty-free formulas because clean skincare should deliver real results—without toxic energy or toxic chemicals.
At FAITH+FEARLESS Beauty , we’re about pro-aging skincare that meets you where you are. That means embracing your laugh lines, not filtering them out. It means feeling good in your own skin—not someone else's ideal.
We Rise Together, Or Not At All
We’re not just a female-founded skincare brand, we’re a movement.
We’re rewriting the rules of beauty with purpose-driven products, fierce community, and fearless energy.
So if you’ve ever
Felt the sting of comparison
Been told to tone it down, cover up, or play small
Been made to feel “too much” for simply being yourself—
I see you.
I am you.
And you’re exactly the kind of woman this brand was built for.
This is skincare with a mission. This is FAITH+FEARLESS Beauty.
No mean girls. No filters. Just real skin, real confidence, and real women who’ve had enough of the BS.
Forever cheering you on,
Sarah XO
