159: How trauma & brain health affect the skin | Board-certified dermatologist Keira Barr, M.D. 

“I have worked with so many women who, at one point in time, felt that their voice was not being heard—so instead, it was their skin that started to visibly shout. The body wanted to be heard in one way another,” says board-certified and mindbodygreen collective member dermatologist Keira Barr, M.D. “I cannot tell you how many times I have seen that experience where there is a connection between unmet needs and what is showing up on the surface.” 

In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Barr about the brain-skin connection, how the nervous system influences our appearance, and how trauma can trigger skin concerns.
