Dengan tidak menutupi jerawatnya lagi, Hailey Wait berusaha menerima kondisi kulitnya tanpa menutupi dengan makeup.

Nggak main-main loh unggahannya di media sosial menjadi viral, yang awalnya followers Hailey Wait hanya 15k meningkat jadi 151k.

 

Excuse my cheesy twitter caption!! Acne is never something to be ashamed of but it’s not something I want to deal with forever, and tbh so far I’m really proud of how far my skin has come. Cystic acne is painful, physically, and even though I still get breakouts, most of the spots I have left are just scars. I’m okay with that. Honestly as soon as I cut foundation out of my makeup routine and stopped giving a damn what people thought of my appearance and once I started caring more about my overall happiness and wellbeing, it started to improve drastically. I’ll be sharing my skincare routine tomorrow, but I’ll be focusing on hormonal info and stuff like that as well ❤️ I love you all very much, and I’m proud of those of you who have followed in my footsteps and embraced ya face! Whether you have acne or not, ur damn fine ok and you deserve love!!! Both can be beautiful.

I just really want to thank you guys. Since being more open about my skin imperfections, SO MANY of you have opened up to me about your own struggles and I want to say that I’m truly moved, and incredibly thankful to be supported by so many genuine human beings. I’ve heard your stories and seen more and more of you embrace yourselves for who you are, and to me, that’s the most beautiful thing in the whole world. You aren’t flawless, and neither am I. None of us are, and you don’t need to be flawless to be loved and accepted as a human being. We all have imperfections and we are all capable of greater things beyond our appearances ???? #thankyou #spottyandcute

“Saya menyadari penampilan saya waktu itu bukan hal yang membuat saya jadi diri sendiri yang selalu menutupi noda dan jerawat di wajah saya,” kata Hailey Wait.

“Saya nggak berpikiran unggahan saya akan viral, saya baru saja memposting selfie sama seperti setiap remaja lainnya.” kata Hailey Wait.

Gerakan positif pada jerawat ini merupakan sebuah tren baru loh.

Megan Collins, seorang pengamat tren di Trendera di Los Angeles, mengatakan bahwa gerakan body positivity ini memang menyita perhatian beberapa tahun ke belakang.
