Alix Earle, a 24-year-old Gen Z influencer, publicly shared her battle with acne during a recent trip to New York City. Choosing to go makeup-free, she engaged viewers with candid Instagram posts and reflections on her struggles with skin confidence. Earle has been transparent about her journey with acne, stating it was liberating to show her true skin and realize that others were not judging her appearance. She emphasizes the importance of accepting imperfections and encourages followers to embrace their natural beauty without makeup.
As someone who has always struggled with their skin since middle school, makeup has always been a safe space for me in terms of feeling secure and confident.
After 3 days of being out fresh faced to show my real skin ... I realized no one cared or noticed.
I just want to talk about the fact that it's normal. This time last year I would cry probably 3 times a day.
I felt like the only thing people were going to look at was my skin. It was liberating to experience the freedom of being makeup-free.
