Why is a dermatologist, writing a book emphasizing emotions, when it is far too easy to write a book on a 10-step skincare routine, 10-week skin treatment book, quick fixes, or dirty hacks as everyone calls it? Hell, why write at all, when it is easier to prescribe creams, lotions, and shampoos? When there are millions of companies pouring in their monies to get better products? When scientific researchers are working hard to get better, stable, and friendlier creams out into a market that is ripe and ready to believe anything that a company will tell them...?
Why, in the world of such quick fixes, am I, a dermatologist, stuck on to emotional healing?
Because I know that products and treatments don't always give long-lasting results. And because I know what it is to look into the mirror and cry. I know how it feels when someone points out to your face and says, 'your face looks bad', despite having tried all the creams in the world. I know how it feels when people are staring at your acne, rather than looking into your eyes when you are conversing with them, despite having gotten the best of treatments
