Millie Court has opened up about when she was at her “lowest”.
The Love Island 2021 winner got candid about her battle with adult acne in an Instagram Q&A on Wednesday, and shared photos of her skin when it was “at it’s worst”.
Alongside the photos, she wrote: “This feels mad to post up for you all to see me when I was at my lowest, and feel the most insecure I’ve ever felt. But if I can help people who feel like I did then that means more to me than anything.”
Millie explained: “I started getting acne about a year and a half ago, I couldn’t figure it out, when I went to the dermatologist, she helped me realise it was down to my implant. I didn’t put two and two together and this is kind of what brought it on, they got me off it straight away and they looked deeper into it.”
“I am really bad at picking my skin, obviously picking it you’re spreading it across your face. The main thing I would say is only squeeze when they have a yellow head and use gloves or a tissue.”
The 24-year-old has since been using natural remedies and her skin has improved dramatically.
She said: “I didn’t go on roaccutane because I was scared of the side effects, it can be helpful. My dermatologist put me on different antibiotics. It’s a natural remedy and isn’t harmful to your body, it works from the inside out.”
In her final post, Millie wrote: “Hopefully I helped someone today. Just remember, nobody is perfect. I still get spots to this day, spots won’t go forever, let’s embrace them. It’s normal and we are normal people.”
The Essex native found fame on this year’s Love Island, where she met her boyfriend Liam Reardon, and they won the show together.
