Modelo da a conocer su verdadera cara sin maquillaje

Después de 12 años decidió dar a conocer su enfermedad

“Cuando empecé a estar realmente enferma, sentía que no podía controlarlo”

A los 19 años fue diagnosticada con vitiligo, ella pensó que esto acabaría con su carrera como modelo, sin embargo gracias a mucho maquillaje pudo disimularlo.

Breanne Rice después de 12 años decidió dar a conocer su enfermedad y como lo ha enfrentado, con una fotografía en Instagram se mostró tal cual es sin maquillaje.

Today is World Vitiligo Day! Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease where your body attacks its own skin cells, and you lose pigmentation. Mine started when I was around 19, and I lost nearly over half of the pigmentation on my face. To be honest, it was pretty devastating to my self esteem, and I wouldn’t go outside without makeup on or sunglasses. It took me a long time to feel confident enough to be able to be public with it, and accept that I don’t have perfectly pigmented skin. People would tell me “you’re beautiful,” but I never actually believed it because of my insecurities. I lived in fear and was constantly worried by the fact that it could spread to other areas of my body at any time. This was the first photoshoot I did (although super blended) where I left some of my vitiligo semi-exposed. Sometimes things happen in our life that are totally out of our control, or we have a health issue or an insecurity. We cannot always control our circumstances, but we can change how we view ourselves and learning to be comfortable in our own skin. To my friends who also have vitiligo: I understand how hard this can be at times, but don’t let your value be defined by the fact that you don’t have perfectly pigmented skin. It’s how you see yourself that matters most, and guess what-YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL #worldvitiligoday #vitiligo #vitiligoworld #model #modeling #beauty #skin #autoimmune #skincare #health #digestion #fashion #vitiligolove #vitiligobeauty #youarebeautiful #media #press

“Mi cara lo era todo, y constantemente buscaba la perfección… Cuando empecé a estar realmente enferma, sentía que no podía controlarlo (el vitiligo). Y no quería que nadie lo supiera”, agregó en Instagram.

También declaró lo mucho que gastaba en maquillaje para ocultar su enfermedad y lucir ‘perfecta’. Su valiente declaración le ha dado la vuelta al mundo, siendo un ejemplo para las personas con esta enfermedad y que no se sientan inseguras al salir a la calle.
