We all do it: we see beautiful, seemingly perfect people on social media and we get it in our heads that in order to be happy in life, we need to be skinny and pretty with no flaws in our appearance whatsoever.

Even though we do that, we also know deep down that for 99% of us that is not reality and it is totally unattainable.

That’s why photos like this are so powerful and important. Take a look.

1. This is what she really looks like.

2. Nobody is perfect.

My friend is absolutely stunning and does professional modelling, but she does post unflattering photos to prove that you don’t have to be perfect to be beautiful and to show that every body has flaws, even if you can’t usually tell! from Instagramreality

3. No editing involved.

What I love about the Royals on Instagram is the fact that they don’t edit their pictures. It’s a breath of fresh air to see face wrinkles and skin texture, this is what real faces look like. from Instagramreality

4. That’s refreshing.

5. A real look.

I primarily follow runners on insta. I thought you all would appreciate her photos. from Instagramreality

6. This is normal.

No airbrushed skin, no photoshopped nose, and no bleached teeth! Natural is normal. from Instagramreality

7. Unposed vs. Posed.

Shoutout to target for not overly editing their model. If it’s a marketing strategy: it’s working from Instagramreality

9. Honest as hell.

She’s my favorite! So gorgeous and honest as hell about everything from body image, to bad skin, to health issues. from Instagramreality

10. Good and bad days.

This insta-girl posts pics on both ”good” and ”bad” days and gives no f*ck about it. I love it from Instagramreality

11. About 99% of people have them.

I appreciate that this makeup brand doesn’t pretend like their foundation magically makes you airbrushed from Instagramreality

14. Do not edit.

Just thought it was nice to see a model who has millions of followers show some body rolls and not editing her pics from Instagramreality

15. One more for good measure.

Refreshing to see a celebrity who doesn’t airbrush their pictures! from Instagramreality

If you’re having a bad day and you think you’re not good-looking or fit enough, keep in mind that it’s all an illusion and even the models on social media have flaws in their appearance.

So love yourself and love your body! And remember to treat yourself well. We’re all unique and we’re all perfect in our own ways.
