Magazine spreads featuring airbrushed actresses and models should come with warning symbols, a leading Government adviser has said.
Dr Linda Papadopoulos, a respected clinical psychologist, claimed false images of perfection were making young girls insecure about their looks and encouraging them to believe that super-skinny was the norm.
She has been commissioned by the Home Office to write a report on the sexualisation of children and teenagers, which will be published next Friday.
Dr Papadopoulos, of London Metropolitan University, will recommend that a working party is set up to find a way to label airbrushed fashion and beauty spreads, starting with teenage magazines.
