Alix Earle talks openly about her acne journey
Earle has been quite open about her acne battle on the platform, frequently giving Accutane treatment updates and skin care tips with her 5 million followers. This isn't the first time we've seen her raw skin but her gentle reminder, though, feels especially appropriate given the growing worry over how TikTok's hyper-realistic beauty filter may skew self-perception and impair self-esteem with frequent use. She has been quite vocal about her struggles with acne, sharing her journey and experiences with others."
“Sharing my acne journey was definitely one of my main catapults to getting my strong community of followers. It gave people something to relate to. It was definitely really scary at first: I did not want to post my acne all over my face and my neck and then go to school and know that probably everyone I’m sitting next to me saw this on the internet, but it honestly was so overwhelmingly positive,” she told Rolling Stone last week.
Talking about her acne journey and why she is vocal about it, she said, "It just makes me feel really good that I’m able to help someone else."
