The Unwritten Rules Of Instagram: Do's and Don'ts

5. Retouch until unrecognizable

Smartphones have made it possible for anyone to have celebrity-worthy photoshopping features at their fingertips. Most new Android phones come with a "beauty" feature on the front camera allowing you to even out skin, slim the jawline or even make your eyes appear wider on the fly. Or you can retouch after the shot with apps like Facetune and CreamCam. But just because they're out there doesn't mean you should abuse them. Minor tweaks are fine, but a heavy finger on the smoothing feature may leave you looking like a wax figure. And it won't be long until your followers catch on.
