Your true YOU is 💥🙌🏽💣🔥🖤!!! Today I post this pic in favor of #WokeUpThisWayChallenge & bring some realness back to social media. And now I’m asking YOU to be part of this challenge too and bring awareness and spread this much-needed conversation around the world. Let’s unite and do this altogether! . 1️⃣. Post a photo of yourself how you look when you wake up in the morning (no hair done, no makeup, no filter!!) with the hashtag #WokeUpThisWayChallenge and talk about how you’re spreading the message to bring realness back to social media . 2️⃣. Tag 3 (or more!) friends to challenge them next to post a morning photo

Earlier this week, Hania shared photos of her acne and asked on Instagram, "Why is my skin defining me? Who has made these beauty standards that we always feel the need to match? [...] 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."

Truthfulness and Goodness of nature, are the other two ingredients that make a person beautiful besides being good looking. Makeup conceals the truth and those who do not hesitate in telling the truth are the real good nature people and therefore beautiful.

Very good mantra of life to accept, own and defend flaws within and it's quite normal way to avoid useless stress and tension.

Bandwagon effect to garner more attention and cheap likes.

I don't wear makeup. Wash, face cream and then that's it So it's weird to see these people because they must use a lot of makeup and concealers etc. You can have great skin if it's in your DNA, and you take care of it through healthy eating like veggie, fruits, and nuts and proper sleep and water intake.
