It appears that breakouts are a common struggle for all of us, even for Millie Bobby Brown.
On Monday, October 24, the 19-year-old actress took to Instagram to share two photos with her followers. The first photo showed her posing flawlessly with a full glam look, without a single pimple in sight. In contrast, the second photo was a candid and makeup-free selfie that revealed her acne, which covered her cheek and forehead.
In the caption, Brown exclaimed, "Send help, @florencebymills!" The mentioned account belongs to the actress' beauty and skincare line, Florence by Mills. In addition to skincare, the brand offers hair, makeup, and fragrance products that boast natural and clean ingredients.
Her followers openly praised her honesty through their comments. One fan gratefully remarked, "Thank you for making breakouts seem normal. ️" Another shared, "She makes me feel incredibly comfortable with my acne, almost empowered and confident in my own skin because I've come to realize that it's truly a typical occurrence."
Brown’s Stranger Things co-star and friend Noah Schnapp showed his support for the actress, commenting, “Love it”.

"I'm having a rough night with my skin as you can see. This unhappy zit on my cheek isn't doing me any favors," she stated on the video, gesturing towards the inflamed pimple. In an effort to address the issue, she proceeded to apply the Clear the Way Clarifying Mud Mask from her skincare collection to the afflicted spot. "It has proven to be quite effective for me in the past. Typically, I employ it as a spot treatment," she informed her followers.
Accompanying the post was the caption: "celebrating the flaws with @florencebymills".

In a July 2022 interview with Elle, Brown candidly discussed her struggles with her skin. Admitting that she often found herself baffled by sudden breakouts and the incompatibility of certain foundations during red carpet events, she acknowledged being at the mercy of her own skin.
However, instead of succumbing to the urge to conceal or retreat from acne, Brown shared that she has come to accept it. Understanding the importance of embracing her natural skin and heeding its needs, she emphasized the necessity of listening to and working with her skin.
