Teen with cystic acne shares powerful message about embracing yourself
A teen with cystic acne has shared a powerful message about overcoming your insecurities and embracing your beauty to inspire others struggling with similar issues.
Hailey Wait is a 17-year-old from Colorado.
She regular shares makeup-free selfies on her social media channels to encourage others to accept themselves and feel comfortable in their own skin.
Wait has struggled with acne ever since she was in her early teens.
After years of trying to cover up her spots with makeup every time she left the house, Wait finally decided to stop hiding under her foundation.
As a result, she’s since come out of her shell and her confidence levels have soared.
Wait was bullied at school by kids who made fun of her acne. However, she doesn’t let the haters crush her spirit, tweeting: “Reminder that acne doesn’t make you ugly, a heart full of hate does.”
