How to disable the default Facetime filter?

When I use FaceTime on my iPhone 13 Pro, the image of myself appears to be going through some kind of filter making my skin look unnaturally unblemished and unnatural in colour, like some kind of fake, plastic person. I want to show myself as I am, warts and all. I've been unable to find how and where you disable this default filter. Is it possible? Honestly, what are the guys at Apple thinking if they believe that everyone's face should go through a filter?

Hi when you are in a FaceTime go to the control center top right corner on your iPhone and there you turn off background filter in the left first option
