ICYMI: There's a New Trend That's Taking The World by Storm
We're talking about the final frontier to be embraced by the body positive movement.
2016 kicked off as an exciting year for the #bodypositivity campaign, and the movement has continued to thrive since. More recently, another new self-love trend has been stirring on social media: #FREETHEPIMPLE.
Just as the continuing body positivity revolution has made it so that all different body shapes are better represented and celebrated — the latest frontier for acceptance is what was once considered a social taboo, but an affliction nearly every one has dealt with: skin acne.
It all started with Louisa Northcote, a finalist of Britain’s Next Top Model, who decided to embrace the skin she is in. Northcote knows first hand the distress of having imperfect skin and the shame that is attached to it. The top model wanted to encourage others to be the same, and in doing so, she created an online community for anyone enduring the physical and emotional challenges of having acne-related skin conditions.
This emerging beauty trend is empowering women the world over to have an optimistic outlook over their natural appearance. While it does not mean to demean anyone who choose to wear makeup or actively treat their acne to clear it up — what is most promising about this rising #skinpositivity movement is the message that tells everyone to not feel inferior to what our body is capable of. Acne doesn’t define you, so don’t let it rob you of a chance to truly embrace yourself.
