If you follow Bella Thorne on Instagram, you know the girl shows a fair amount of skin in her frequent selfies.
But even though Bella’s workout photos tend to get the most attention from her followers, her latest pic might be her most revealing to date.
Yes, Bella has become the latest celeb to take part in the no-makeup selfie trend.
Generally, when celebs post a bare-faced photo, they’re at least partially motivated by the desire to show the world how flawless their skin is.
But while Bella certainly looks gorgeous in her all-natural state, she revealed a much more important reason for posting the pic in the lengthy caption that accompanies it:
“I know us girls love to put on makeup, not only for fun but sometimes to hide our insecurities…well, here is a photo of me without ANY makeup on my face.
“I took this photo while arriving to set this morning. Personally, I struggled with acne for a long time. I used to cry every night because I thought I looked so ugly. I used to read comments about my face, my skin, my nose, my eyes, and even my beauty marks people didn’t approve of.
“Putting makeup over acne makes it so much worse.
I know lots of my friends also struggle with acne and it’s something you can’t control. I know lots of people think others with acne are ‘dirty’ or ‘don’t take care of themselves.’ That is false.
My question to you is: Why should we be judged?
This isn’t the first time that Ms. Thorne has spoken openly about her past struggles and insecurities.
In a recent interview Bella talked about being bullied by a peer who continues to give her a hard time to this day.
So if you’re feeling your self-esteem dipping to a dangerous low today, just remember that even the flawless human specimen known as Bella Thorne doubts her beauty sometimes.
If that doesn’t convince you that no one is immune to it, we don’t know what will.
