Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown gets real with her fans by sharing an up-close and personal selfie showing off her pimples.
In a post meant to promote her skincare and beauty line Florence by Mills, the 19-year-old – who is engaged to Jake Bongiovi – jokingly captioned the snap “send help!”
The actress showed fans that she has bad skin days just like everyone else and then revealed a radiant, fully made-up photo, helped by her makeup brand.
Stranger Things co-star Noah Schnapp said “Love it,” while Oscar winner Octavia Spencer attributed the outbreak to “hormones.”
Zits!: Millie Bobby Brown literally bared herself, spots and all, when she shared a photo showing several pimples on her face and forehead. ‘Thank you for normalizing pimples. ❤️’ wrote one grateful fan
Fans were grateful to hear that the Enola Holmes star isn’t always perfectly polished.
One grateful follower wrote: ‘She makes me feel so comfortable when I have acne. I almost feel powerful and confident in my face because I’ve learned that it really is normal.’
‘Thank you for normalizing pimples. ❤️’ wrote another fan.
Millie launched her makeup line Florence by Mills in 2019.
“I don’t know anything about beauty and skin care,” she said To tempt at the time.
‘That’s why I made this. I’ll take you on this journey so we can learn more about botanicals, serums, fruit and vegetable extracts, enzymes.
‘Things that are so important for your skin, but that we don’t know about yet because we are young.’
The two-time Emmy nominee’s line is vegan and not tested on animals.
Flawless: Millie asked for her makeup line Florence by Mills to ‘send help’ and shared a photo of her skin tone looking flawless with help from the cosmetic
Clean: Millie created a vegan makeup line that said ‘no’ to animal testing and animal by-products, but doesn’t always apply that principle to what she puts into her body (pictured in London in September)
Food: Millie gave up being vegetarian while working on a film in which she talked about adding meat to her diet for energy. However, studies have shown that animal products, including meat and dairy, contribute to mental and physical fatigue and skin problems
“Clean means saying ‘no’ to ingredients believed to be unsafe for us and/or the environment, animal testing and animal by-products,” the website says. ‘Clean means saying ‘yes’ to proven ingredients that make us feel good from head to toe. cleans also means that we strive to take care of the planet.’
However, it seems like the Godzilla v Kong actress doesn’t always apply that principle to what she puts into her body.
In an interview with Marie Claire she said, “I think fruits and vegetables are your best friends. I drink a lot of juices and I love kombucha,” but after having problems with the physical work on a film, she returned to eating meat for energy.
However, a study from the journal Nutrients discovered that eating meat, especially processed meat, leads to mental and physical fatigue.
Dairy, processed meat and sugary foods have also been linked to skin problems, according to the website Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
