Chrissy Teigen gets real about the one thing all women can relate to
As if we needed another reason to love Chrissy Teigen. The supermodel mum has long won us over with her no-BS approach to life, love and parenting. And, she’s done it again.
The mother-of-one, who is married to singer John Legend, is constantly making us cheer with her gutsy take-downs on Twitter. And now, she has posted a typically candid video on Snapchat of something we can all relate to. Period skin. Ugh.
Yep, it turns out even supermodels get bad skin around that time of the month too. The 31-year-old posted the fresh-faced video with the caption: “Period skin. So mad.”
Pointing to some blemishes on her nose and chin, she tells fans, “this is my skin on my period. Look at it, so angry.”
Most of us experience a premenstrual breakout in the week leading up to our periods, due to increased levels of progesterone and testosterone causing increased redness and dryness.
And it seems many found Teigen’s video relatable with more than 20,000 liking the video and praising the model’s candid revelation.
“As the father of 2 young girls, it's reassuring to see a LITERAL model who is comfortable in her own imperfections. A sincere thank you!,” one Twitter user wrote.
“Exactly. Am tired of 'perfect plastic' - never bought into it. Never will,” another added.
“Ummm this is an amazing thing to share. Happens to us all!” commented someone else.
“Thank you for making us feel less alone.”
