Looksmaxxing and Body Dysmorphic Disorder: When Self-Improvement Becomes an ObsessionWanting to look better is normal.
Wanting to look better is normal. Exercising, taking care of your skin, finding clothes that fit well, or getting a haircut you like can all be healthy forms of self-care. But there can be a point where improving your appearance stops being one part of your life and starts taking over your life.
