Strength, self-confidence and courage, we are talking about Demi Lovato here, after all. The 27-year-old singer just shared a selfie with no make-up at all, showing off her freckles and beautiful skin.
“Haven’t done a #NoMakeupMonday in yearssss but I figured after posting so many glamorous pics with tons of makeup and hair pieces, it’s important to show myself underneath it all.”
She also wrote, “This is what I look like 85%-90% of the time. Proud of my freckles, proud of booty chin and proud of myself for loving and accepting myself the way I am.”
And in support of her courage, the singer’s celebrity friends showered her with motivating comments.
Supermodel and body image activist, Ashley Graham, who Demi recently recorded a podcast promoting body positivity wrote, “Hit beauty!”
Other celebrities such as “This is us” star Chrissy Metz, wrote “Stunnnnerrr,” photographer Angelo Kritikos commented “MY FAVVVVVVV FRECKLES,” and business woman Yael Cohen, wrote “This skin!”
The National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA) also joined in the comments to thank Demi on her courage, especially on the first day of NEDA Awareness Week.
Demi has been struggling with self-confidence and body shaming through the years, Demi gained her courage last fall when she posted an unedited bikini post showing off her cellulite as she captioned, “This is my biggest fear. A photo of me in a bikini unedited. And guess what, it’s CELLULIT!!!! I’m just sooooo tired of being ashamed of my body, editing it so that other think I’m THEIR idea of what beautiful is, but that’s just not me.”
We can safely say that this world is becoming a better place, all because Demi and people like her who are strong enough to make us feel comfortable in our own skin.
So be confident enough y’all, we all have flaws!
