These 8 Instagram accounts will make you love your skin. The beauty industry does everything it possibly can persuade us that it should be smooth, without any kind of irregularity. We are taught to expect it to be uniform, without history, without relief. Women camouflage their faces with layers of foundation to smooth it over. Our little blemishes, our peculiarities, scars and wrinkles, our moles, all are erased. Only freckles are tolerated, sometimes even fetishised.
Today, I want to celebrate human skin in all its defects, its experiences, its marks and its medical conditions that sometimes alter it, such as vitiligo or hypertrichosis. Over a few months, I have carefully selected eight Instagram accounts of people who fully assume the quality of their skin, and who sometimes even manage to make an asset of it in the world of fashion modeling. Freckled, colorful, sparkling skins, so different and so unique, that show the magnificent diversity of the human body.
