“Be comfortable in your own skin,” is a phrase from the Dark Ages that doesn’t really apply to the 51st century.

That’s partially because we have more self-esteem issues. Partially because we’re under more pressure to be beautiful than our 21st century counterparts. But it’s mostly because the majority of the population isn’t wearing their own skin.

Let me explain.

So, back in the Dark Ages, a few people began to play around with the arcane art of plastic surgery.  They were adorably amazed with the results – people getting new noses! New faces! New bodies! Fancy that. So, zoom forward a few decades, and people wanted something better. Something subtler. So the surgeons improved their techniques and made the plastic more malleable and authentic than before.

But the ugly rich still weren’t satisfied. They didn’t want plastic, they wanted the authentic, real thing.

And so the Body Shop was established.
