Couch Chat: Snapchat Dysmorphia

Snapchat and Instagram filters smooth out our skin, give us fuller lips and make our eyes bigger… Plastic surgeons say, they’re going too far and changing the way young people look at themselves. They’re calling it Snapchat Dysmorphia. Doctors say, patients are actually coming in with pictures of filtered selfies saying, make me look like this.

In the past, there’s been a lot of weird beauty trends. In the 18th century, women used strawberries and win ti keep their skin pale. Historians say they would us makeup that was literally poisonous. In the 19th century women would put lemon and orange juice in their eyes to look brighter.
