Acne sufferer Millie Bobby Brown, well-known for her part in Stranger Things, recently shared her difficulties with acne with her fans. On Monday, the 19-year-old actress posted two images to Instagram that showed her most recent acne breakout.
With her profile inclined to the side and her eyes fixed on the camera, Millie took a mirror selfie in the first picture. The next slide showed a close-up of her makeup-free face with her lips lightly pursed. She captioned the picture, “@florencebymills send help!” in a clever reference to her skincare and cosmetics company.
This is not the first time Millie Brown has shared her real and unfiltered skin with her followers. In a March Instagram video, she openly discussed her skincare routine, revealing her preferred Florence by Mills products for dealing with breakouts.
In a 2019 interview with PEOPLE, Millie Bobby Brown discussed the deep impact of her grandmother Florence, who served as the basis for her company Florence by Mills, and the heartbreaking inspiration behind it. A lasting impression of Millie’s ideals was imprinted on her by her grandmother’s tradition of valuing uniqueness and self-expression. Her honest desire to use her company as a platform for educating her generation about the value of skincare was conveyed. According to her remarks, “I’ve been told I’m like her in that respect, and I wanted that to represent my brand as well.”
Following Millie’s recent Instagram post in which she bravely shared her acne difficulties, her fans showered her with praise and respect. One fan commented, “Love how you show off your acne. It is normal and okay to get breakouts.” while another expressed appreciation, “Thank you for normalizing breakouts.” in the comments section.
Millie Brown’s fiancé Jake Bongiovi joined in with a sincere “Love it,” expressing his support and love.
Millie claimed that Jake had a huge influence on her personal development. She thought back to the times when she had doubted his love for her and how he had made it possible for her to see the beauty in parts of herself that she had previously disregarded. “Those are things that I love about myself now,” she said. “He was a significant factor in my journey towards self-love and womanhood. It was like, ‘Wow, I genuinely love this person because he allows me to love myself.'”
When their engagement was declared in April 2023, the pair’s romantic adventure came to an end. Rumors about the couple initially surfaced in June 2021. The couple could be seen kissing on the sand in Millie’s Instagram post announcing their engagement, which was accompanied by lyrics from Taylor Swift’s “Lover.” Millie was also seen proudly displaying a diamond ring on her left hand.
