“AnnaLynn McCord posted this on Twitter, saying

‘I woke up this morning and decided I’m over Hollywood’s perfection requirement. To all my girls (and boys) who have ever been embarrassed by their skin! I salute you! I’m not perfect – and that’s okay with me!’

Salute to AnnaLynne!”

We can make friends with ourself. But it takes bravery to be vulnerable, so take a deep breath…and open up!

Image via Imgur, via Twitter. Quotes via Reddit:

“I actually like her natural self a lot more. I think her curly hair is gorgeous and I’m not a fan of the plastic look in general…Real is better than edited.”

“Mad props. Im sure this made tonnes of people out there feel better about themselves.”

“I try my damned hardest to remain “above” damaging media portrayals of women. I don’t let it bother me, and I have pretty decent self esteem as a result. But as someone who has always struggled with acne (my skin looks very similar to hers in the umakeup’d pic), to the point that I have actually cried over it and how worthless and unattractive it makes me feel, this actually makes me feel pretty great.”
