Love Island star Millie Court hid under face masks after acne made her self-conscious

OHMYGOSSIP — Millie Court has told how her acne left her so self-conscious she used face masks as an excuse to hide.
The 24-year-old star, who was crowned winner of the ITV2 dating show in 2021 alongside partner Liam Reardon, 22, has opened up about her struggles after her new-found fame left her feeling self-conscious and insecure.
Millie, who gained over 1.9 million fans since she left the villa and has gone on the sign a deal with fashion brand ASOS, revealed acne left her feeling vulnerable and uncomfortable in her own skin.
She told Metro.co.uk: “I always felt like I was a very, very confident person.
“When my acne came, definitely my confidence lowered, and I was embarrassed, and I felt shy to go outside.
“Then COVID hit and we were wearing masks and I could use a mask to cover my face.
“That’s how unconfident I was, that I felt like I could go out because a mask was covering me so nobody could see me.
“That’s the reason why I’m trying now to make people feel confident about their skin because I know how low I was.”
The social media influencer insisted social media can sometimes promote unrealistic standards.
She added: “A lot of people on Instagram are tied to this perfect, perfect and they have this beauty standard, and I think where I have struggled in the past with my acne and things like that I’ve now come on to Instagram to promote that not everyone’s skin is perfect.
“You’re beautiful just the way you are, you don’t have to have flawless skin to be beautiful and feel like a confident, empowered woman.”
