#FreeThePimple Is Instagram’s New Skin Positive Movement

#FreeThePimple Is Instagram’s New Skin Positive Movement

The Internet is a highly dynamic space with fleeting trends. From #ThighGap to #GlassSkin and #TobleroneTunnel, Instagram has given us some pretty unrealistic, unachievable beauty standards over the last few months. But it’s also given us some very positive trends such as #FkTheFilterChallenge or #BoycottTheFilter, that promoted dropping all those editing apps and posting all natural selfies. Taking positive trends one step further, there is finally a trend that speaks for women who are suffering from cystic acne, which is something many women deal with on a daily basis.

Here’s introducing #FreeThePimple, the latest debutante in the growing army of body and skin positive Instagram movements. The foremost reason we love this hashtag is that it creates an online community for women enduring the physical and emotional effects of adult acne, so no one feels alone. #FreeThePimple is all about defying norms and beauty standards, encouraging women to embrace their natural selves.

While it is a personal decision, whether or not you want to cover your acne, we are just glad that we are one step closer to diversity, and a fast-growing skin-positive community.

Here are some inspiring pictures from the movement.
