Bella Thorne didn’t always have clear skin.
In a new interview with InStyle, the 18-year-old opened up about her issues with acne, admitting that it wrecked her self-esteem.
“I cried every night for months. It sounds silly to say that I cared so much about my face, but when you’re a young girl, it takes a toll on your self-esteem. It’s unbelievable how people looked at me differently because I had pimples. I’m still self-conscious about it.”
She turned to her friends for support (girl power!), and everything changed: “You have to take a deep breath, realize that whatever is stressing you out is not the end of the world, and trust that you’ll move on,” she said.
