Do you think that this is an illusion?

Sometimes,you look in the mirror and say,oh,I look great.Next day,you look into the mirror and you'll say,oh that's awful and disgusting.Do you think that this is an illusion?Do our looks change like this overnight?😐
Or you're just feeling sensitive over your looks!?Does your mental state affect your view of your looks?

I do think looks change. Pore size, lighting, angle, facial blemish, skin tone, skin color, health, nutrition, etc can all have pretty intense effects on looks and how we think we loom.
Horomones also have an affect on how we feel about how we loom but not necessarily how we look.

So some of that change in how we feel we look may just be horomones while sometimes how we look is are body actually looking different due to health etc. The above mentioned factors.

I think lighting makes and intense difference. I think my skin looks best in dark/ soft lighting.

@bhnm1999 maybe staying up late messes up your sleep system.

@SW-User whenever I feel depressed,I think I look disgusting!I wanted to know if it's really affecting my looks or no,depression makes me think I look bad,however I don't!

@bhnm1999 Yeah the mind is all about perspective. Which is why reality cannot be defined.
You think you look ugly on darker days not only because of the pessimistic side of your mind but also because of your facial expressions that day, and duller eyes and slower blood circulation which happens at times in depressive episodes which also causes the excessive sleep, less oxygen supplied to your body makes it look tired and paler/greyer depending on your skin color.
It happens to me too, to many many other people. Don't let it convince you that you're not beautiful.

As a teenager I often cried thinking I was ugly doesn’t happen now.
