Hania Aamir has gone on to shatter unrealistic beauty standards in a powerful post outlining her struggle with acne. In an Instagram post, the Anaa actress revealed that the journey she has been on for a couple of months has been rather painful.
“So I have always struggled with mild acne. Always had these bumps on my forehead that JUST WOULD NOT BUDGE! I had gotten used to them. But the journey I have been on for a couple of months has been quite a painful one. I’d just come back to Chitral from a day trip to Kalash and after I had washed my face it started to burn and my skin went red. Didn’t take it seriously but the next day I had these tiny red bumps ALL OVER MY FACE [sic],” she wrote.
Hania said that it made her insecure and anxious, followed by days and nights of crying. “I was a mess but I went through it and got out of it too. I went to a different doctor and he prescribed me some meds. My skin has been better than before. But it made me wonder.. Why is my skin defining me? Who has made these beauty standards that we always feel the need to match? The society? Clear skin is beauty? I know that the idea of being ‘perfect’ is appealing to majority but you don’t need to be an airbrushed flawless image to feel beautiful. Nobody should feel the pressure of matching the ridiculous societal beauty standards, [sic]” she added.
Kudos to Hania for speaking up about this rather touchy issue on such a public platform without any hesitation or fear of appearing less than perfect. And what’s even better is her fellow actresses showing their support to her:
