137: How emotions affect skin & aging | Holistic facialist Abigail James

Clean Beauty School

“We can choose to be happy or to be grumpy—if I show up somewhere with a certain emotion, that was a choice. If we can choose those things, surely we can choose to feel beautiful. I choose to behold myself as beautiful,” says U.K.-based facialist and wellness expert Abigail James, author of The Glow Plan and Love Your Skin. In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with James about the benefits of facial massages, psychodermatology, and the gut-skin-stress connection.
