It's fair to say nobody in the world has perfectly clear skin.
We all have blemishes and skin conditions like acne are completely normal, which is why one woman is dedicating her time proving your skin is "perfect" as it is. Maia Gray documents her skin journey on Instagram under the name its_just_acne to help others embrace their bodies.
She wants people to know that many people have acne, so they don't have to go through it alone. Maia also works to show that you can feel confident and fabulous when you suffer with a skin condition.
But, even though her account is really positive, some people make cruel comments about her body image. The social media star, who boasts over 145,000 followers, revealed the types of things trolls say to her because of her skin.
Some of the comments she's received include "make-up makes acne worse", "why does she wear make-up? It doesn't cover anything", "she needs to hide her acne" and "your skin is dirty".
She shared the candid video highlighting the criticism alongside the caption: "If you’ve ever received unkind comments about your skin, I want to let you know it isn’t your fault. Ignore what society thinks and be your own wonderful, strong, unique beauty standard. You do not need changing."

Since she shared the post, more than 1,400 people have liked it and left positive comments. They told her she looks "beautiful" in her pictures.
One person said: "No one and nothing in the universe is perfect. We should admire the creation of our God." Another wrote: "We do what we want, when we want, with OUR skin. People will rarely be happy with our choices. Love this vid."
A third replied: "You're beautiful with or without make-up." Meanwhile, a fourth commented: "If someone ever says your skin is dirty it's not your skin, it's their mindset. Everyone has textured skin and every skin is beautiful."
Despite the negative comments, many people admire Maia for opening up about body image so honestly. Lots of people relate to her content, and are grateful that there are people out there speaking up for people who have acne.
Even though she's now skin positive advocate, she's admitted she's struggled to accept her skin in the past. She was bullied at school because of how she looked, and it had a huge impact on her growing up.
In a previous post, Maia wrote: "In school, I was called names and bullied. People made fun of my skin. Now, I realise that all of what happened to me, made me a stronger person.
"It made me want to fight for those who feel alone in their acne journey. I promise you that acne will never change you as a person.
"People will be unkind. That’s a fact of life but never ever let their unkindness dictate your life or your goals. Be you. No matter what."
Maia also uses her platform to offer tips and review products, and also offers make-up advice too. She reaches thouands of people with her candid videos, and they are super uplifting and helpful too.
Her big mission is to encourage people not to "hide" their skin away because they have acne. She highlighted this in another post where she urged people to embrace the summer months.
Maia said: "As the weather starts to warm up, often we feel the need to hide our skin. It’s important to remember that no matter what your feel your skin looks like, never feel that you need to hide your acne.
"Acne is something that is common. Millions of people around the world have a skin condition and knowing this, makes me feel less alone in my journey."
