Do you hate the way you look in pictures? I recently heard this advice and it changed my perspective.
Dermatologist Dr. Samantha Ellis posted a video on her instagram about some advice she got from a mentor. Dr. Ellis said it quote "changed the way I talk to my patients as a cosmetic dermatologist because I have lots of patients who are beautiful and they come in to have cosmetic work done just because they don’t like the way they look in a photo.”
Her mentor said:
"Think of all the beautiful sunsets you have ever seen in your life. And then you go to take a picture of it and when you look at the photo you go, ‘Ugh, this photo doesn’t really do this sunset justice.’ You are the sunset. You are beautiful. And just because the photo doesn’t do you justice, doesn’t detract from any of that."
