Acné Selfie, la última tendencia de belleza real en Instagram

De la mano del 'Body Positive', nace 'Skin Positivity', movimiento por el que las instagramers reivindican que las pieles perfectas tampoco existen.

El amor propio es algo que nunca se debe perder y, aunque en redes sociales vemos cantidad de estereotipos de belleza, Internet nos recuerda que los defectos también nos hacen bonitas. La última tendencia al más puro estilo 'positive' es #SkinPositivity, el movimiento gracias al que nos podemos sentir orgullosas de nuestra piel, sea como sea.

Una afección común que muchas de nosotras tenemos es el acné. Por ello, Instagram ha dejado a un lado los filtros de belleza para inundarse de fotos naturales en el que las cicatrices, las espinillas o los enrojecimientos son los auténticos protagonistas. ¡Viva la naturalidad!

De esta forma, instagramers de todo el mundo se han ido sumando poco a poco a la iniciativa y han mostrado sus rostros a través de lo que se conoce como 'Acné Selfie' o un selfie al natural. De esta forma, y poco a poco, el acné dejará de ser un tema tabú.

Cuando Instagram empezó a ser natural

Como toda historia, el 'Acné Seflie' también tiene sus orígenes. Una de las mujeres pioneras en la reivindicación es Em Ford, quien lleva años publicando fotos suyas sin maquillaje y ha tenido que sufrir múltiples críticas en sus redes sociales. Hace tres años, sin vergüenza alguna, a Em Ford se le ocurrió la maravillosa idea de subir un vídeo a Youtube en el que leía todas y cada una de las críticas que había tenido que soportar y, como era de esperar, el vídeo se hizo viral y la iniciativa que promovía comenzó a abrirse paso en los movimientos 'positive'.

El vídeo ha sido visto más de 27 millones de veces y Em se ha convertido en una auténtica influencer del #SkinPositivity, con un millón de seguidores en su cuenta de Instagram, donde sigue publicando fotos de su rostro al natural. Desde entonces, gracias a su valentía, el movimiento fue viento en popa.

It’s not WHAT you’re wearing ❤️ it’s HOW you wear it that matters - Wearing: My IDGAF 💁🏼‍♀️ if you think my skin is gross attitude - in shade scar. (Plus some £3 earrings and a £12 top, but you get what I mean 🤓😂) #mypaleskinblog #skinpositivity

Muchas otras jóvenes, no han dudado en unirse al movimiento para demostrar que las imperfecciones también nos hacen guapas. ¿Y tú? ¿Te animarías?

The hardest thing about having adult cystic acne has been coming to terms with the realisation that I am never going to be "cured" but the best I can ever hope for is "control" of my skin. I have suffered with spots since 1992 and still continue to do so in 2017. That’s not to say there haven’t been periods where my skin has cleared up - it has (sometimes even for a few years) - but the cysts usually return over time. The good news is that when it does come back it usually responds to oral treatment. Psychologically accepting that I am never going to "grow out of it" has been a battle through most of my 20s and 30s. Now, closer to 40, I am learning to accept that my skin will be up and down - but when it is down, I need to treat it properly and revert to medication if I need it to minimise the risk of further scarring. I am not a perfect dermatologist with perfect skin - and nor do I aspire to be. Acne gets me down in the same way it affects any adult sufferer but learning to accept treatment when I need it and enjoying the periods my skin is good has become key for good mental health. Acne can be treated and scarring can be prevented but I think we are recognising more and more it can be a chronic problem for some that may always come and go. Acceptance of this is probably the most important part of the psychological battle. Sometimes it isn’t down to what we are eating or sleepless nights or heavy make-up or anything else we are doing wrong. It is just the luck of the DNA draw in terms of our unique combination of hormones and genetics. If you are suffering with your skin there are always solutions. They do not come with the guarantee that after a round of treatment your acne will not return, but there is always something that can be done and no one needs to suffer or just put up with it. If you are struggling with your skin or it is affecting your mental health please seek early intervention from your GP or dermatologist. (Trust the dermatologist who’s had topical creams, laser, antibiotics, the pill, chemical peels, spironolactone, metformin and 9 courses of Roaccutane in 25+ years! I have tried everything🙈) #dermatology #dermatologist #boardcertified #acne

{{ok editing this really quick cus I think people think I do this every day. I only reaaply moisturizer and sunblock in the mornings and do the oil cleansing and mask at night IF I had on makeup that day. If I didn't wear makeup I would just leave my face alone all the time}} I feel really dumb cus I wanted to make a video but Instagram wouldn't upload it. So I'm Just gonna show u guys picks. 1) i double cleanse with jojoba oil and wipe it off with a hot wash rag 2) i usually do a honey mask mixed with turmeric and cinnamon 3) i have two other masks that I like to use , sulfur mask and bentonit clay mask, but the honey one is my fave 4) I'll moisturize with the shea terra organics perfecting serum and doterra lavender oil 5) at night i'll spot treat with raw shea butter 5) I use the raw elements sunblock pretty much everyday 6) the last slide is the herbs I took to get my skin under control (please do your research on herbs before you take them(ill put a link in my bio for a video about herbs that really helped me) I only do all these steps if I had make up that day. So if I don't wear make up for a few days in a row, I just re-apply the two oils and some sunblock in the morning. I think that's pretty much it. I'm also pescatarian so I don't eat mammal meat but I eat fish. My diet is decent( I'm studying to be a nutritionist) this is what worked for me. I'm not saying that everyone has to do this to have decent skin. Commercial products may work for some people. But it didn't for me. Just made things worse. My skin still isn't "perfect". I'm gonna go through the comments on the other posts and go through the DMs to answer everyone one but there is a lot so bare with me. Feel free to ask more questions here if you need to. Hope this help some people.❤️ ( also just adding this in, if you don't wear make up, then I would suggest just leaving your skin completely alone. Look up the caveman regimen)
