Let's get one thing straight: blemishes and acne are completely normal and a skin concern that many of us struggle with. However, that's not to say that they can't be complete confidence assassins, because, at times, they totally can. Having said that, one person who is embracing her skin breakouts and encouraging us all to do so, too, is Millie Bobby Brown – and we're so for it.
In a recent Instagram post shared via her skincare brand's page, florence by mills, the actor shows her natural skin texture and blemishes alongside a statement about acne.
'#embraceyourskin as told by mills 🤍 my journey with acne is something very personal to me. we all deserve to feel confident & comfortable in our own skin & I hope by sharing my experience, you feel inspired to embrace your skin & love it no matter what stage it’s in! xo - millie.'
Side note: While treatments can reduce and prevent such breakouts, many times they're inevitable thanks to many environmental factors such as hormonal changes.
Now, for the critics among us who may not see this as the big win that it is, it's necessary to remember the current digital era and the fact that it's one that many young people have grown up in.
In other words, the warped – and somewhat unattainable – standards of beauty we, unfortunately, continue to see online and in the media today. I'm talking filters galore, photoshop faux pas and the denial of cosmetic surgery and/or injectables from a number of celebrities and content creators.
So, not only to hear but see, too, such vulnerability and natural-ness, we have nothing but respect and admiration for the young star. As she says herself, #EmbraceYourSkin!
