“Everyone goes through this”
If the adopted daughter of singer Seal has been used to showing herself as she is without filter on her social networks for several years, she has not always accepted her skin problems in this way.
“There were days when I just wanted to stay in and didn't want to go out until my acne went away.
Then I realized that I couldn't live like that.
I couldn't let the pimples on my face stop me from leaving the house,” she said in an interview with the American magazine
People
in October 2022. “I feel like when you have acne, you thinks that you are not beautiful or that this makes you less beautiful than you could be.
There is this stigma.
Honestly, I felt that way too a while ago, she confided, and then I realized, "Oh my God, this is normal."
Everyone goes through it... It's not a bad thing if you have it.
Anyone can get it and it’s not your fault and it’s hormonal.”

The one who began her career as a model at the age of 16 hopes to normalize this phenomenon and free up speech on the subject.
“A lot of people have acne, but it seems like they don't have any.
When people see them on social media, they're like, "None of these gorgeous girls have acne."
But some have them and I don’t think that’s a bad thing,” she concluded in the same interview.
