Kendall Jenneris continuing to be open about her struggle with acne.
The 23-year-old model andProactivambassador shared a stunning,black-and-white topless photograph to Instagram on Thursday, where she recalled how insecure she felt as a teen because of her skin.
“When my acne was at its worst, I was a high schooler who didn’t want to leave the house,” Jenner wrote in the caption. “Now I’m content with my skin.”
“If you want to try Proactiv, you won’t regret it,” she added, before directing her followers to the link in her bio to test the treatment for themselves.
TheKeeping Up with the Kardashiansstar revealed in her post, which she shared as part of the popular “10 Year Challenge” meme, that she “ran home crying everyday because people would stare at my skin.”
“While there are much bigger problems happening in the world, suffering from acne for me was debilitating,” Jenner wrote in aseparate Instagram post. “It’s something that I’ve dealt with since I was a young teen and has caused me to feel anxious, helpless and insecure.”
“As humans, I don’t think we share our insecurities enough because we live in a time where being ‘perfect’ is the standard. We curate our life onlineand pick the pretty moments to post,” she added, explaining, “I’d like to show a younger generation that not everything is perfect.”
