Hermans wrote her own book on the subject: Discourses of perfection. The consequences of the normalisation of cosmetic procedures are discussed in the broadcast. Should we be concerned? What role does social media have in this story? And do Snapchat filters cause us to undergo procedures more quickly?

Also in EMTV: another weekly news update and an exclusive interview with Instagram phenomenon @sheepwithsign. Students sent in their questions and the sheep answered them.
