8 beauty bloggers who do not hide skin features

Living in 2018 is worth at least to meet more often on the pages of well-known publications and blogs the phrase "acne positivity" and see that new bloggers often do not seek to make a pattern of glossy perfection from their skin. And some even abandon the ratings of armor-piercing tonal bases in favor of photos without makeup and sane skin care tips with features, such as acne, psoriasis or atopic dermatitis. We show eight blogs proving that the beauty community is ready for change.
Kadeeja khan
Kadija is a beginning beauty blogger who has never concealed that she has inflammations on her skin, and for a short time she managed to show that she is fine with a sense of humor. Not so long ago, the girl was in an unpleasant situation: the company L'Oréal, which itself had offered her cooperation, refused to work with Kadija because of acne - the situation once again highlighted the striking conservatism of corporations, but drew the attention of the Internet community to positive acne a blogger who is not afraid of honest statements.
Hailey wait
Eighteen-year-old Haley Waite already has 135 thousand subscribers: initially the inflow of fans was provided by the conventional angelic appearance. But last year, Hayley refused thick instafilters and appropriate makeup, showing off her real skin: “Remember - acne does not make you ugly!” Fans continue to send fan-art to the girl with her portraits in elven characters, and she is increasingly pleased with their photos without perfect camouflage - it turns out great.
Carly findlay
Australian Carly Findlay is not new to beauty activism: she has been running her own website for a long time, writing columns in various publications and recording videos with tips. Karli has ichthyosis - a feature that cannot be hidden or disguised, and her skin requires careful special care. The blogger devotes most of the entries to the psychological aspects of life with ichthyosis and the support of people with visible features, but in the blog and on the instagram one can find a lot of unobvious and first-hand tips on care and nutrition.
Just a Girl With Spots
Joni was diagnosed with pinpoint psoriasis at the age of fifteen — life with a skin feature, as she writes in a blog, taught her to be stronger and more confident. She often puts in instagram photos of different parts of the body, on which small red spots are clearly visible, and writes supporting messages to those who have to walk the path of accepting themselves right now. The blog's activity has greatly decreased (nevertheless, it is still possible to find intelligible information about psoriasis), but Joni's instagram is quite alive - there she continues to share treatment experiences and secrets of daily care.
Phyrra
Of course, it is easier for society to take on very light skin than other features, and yet light-skinned people have to face many different problems worthy of a separate website and ambassador. Courtney, who runs Phyrra's blog and instagram, says that in addition to the porcelain tone, her skin is dry and rosacea, so choosing the right products for her bright makeup is difficult. She can find more than one post dedicated to conscientious and really light tonal foundations, and also Courtney chooses strictly ethical and vegan cosmetics, so this special blog has few analogues.
Lauren elyse
A certain cult has developed around vitiligo in the beauty industry and model business - but it is well understood that the models do not represent all people with this feature of pigmentation. Still, more and more owners of vitiligo find their skin beautiful and try to inspire others. Chicago makeup artist Loren is not only not shy about showing close-ups of her skin, but also deliberately emphasizes and decorates pigmentation with bright eye makeup.
Lex gillies
Briton Lex Gillis has been blogging for seven years, devoted not only to common places in the care and makeup: she has not the rarest feature of the skin - rosacea. Although closely spaced vessels and pronounced redness are more or less observed in many people, finding a well-structured resource on this topic is difficult, and Lex materials based primarily on personal experience can be useful. She writes a lot not only about the care, but also meticulously checks makeup products of various brands. And also periodically uploads photos without makeup, to remind you that sensitive skin is not a sentence.
Evita Patcey Delmundo
Moles and birthmarks are another feature of the skin, which is often difficult: everyone wants to act as a couch doctor and give advice. The body of a Malaysian Evita Delmundo is covered with moles literally from head to toe: the girl says that bullying is familiar to her from school. But the instagram, where she puts selfies and shots from photo shoots, turned out to be a more creative initiative. In 2017, Evita claimed to participate in the Miss Universe contest: despite the fact that the attempt failed, the girl’s inspirational story was recorded by several major publications, and since then the subscribers in her instagram have only arrived.
