“Our brains are wired to always see the imperfection, because it’s what keeps us safe. Your brain is going to try and control what it can—for a lot of people, that’s having perfect skin. But that’s not attainable, so folks are left feeling empty because they can never get there” says board-certified dermatologist, Caren Campbell, M.D. ” In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Campbell about the dangers of wanting “perfect skin,” unexpected Botox uses, her favorite lasers (with minimal downtime!), and how trauma influences our skin and the way we perceive ourselves.
