Millie Bobby Brown has been praised for sharing a picture of herself without make-up and detailing how she deals with acne.
The actress, 20, who owns a make-up company called Florence by Mills, took to the business Instagram page to share a snap of her complexion.
She could be see sitting in the back of a car with her hair tied back to clearly show her face and a number of red blotches.
The Stranger Things star wrote: ‘My journey with acne is something very personal to me.
‘We all deserve to feel confident & comfortable in our own skin & I hope by sharing my experience, you feel inspired to embrace your skin & love it no matter what stage it’s in!’

On her Instagram Stories a fan asked her: ‘How do you stay confident in your own skin when you’re having a breakout?’
She replied: ‘Knowing that breakouts are temporary moments in life and that this shall eventually pass!
‘Loving and accepting your skin at any stage is one of the most freeing feelings.’
Another follower asked: ‘Any advice for those who feel insecure because of acne?’
Millie wrote: ‘Remember to be kind to yourself and know what your breakouts do not define you.
‘Breakouts are something that you do not need to be ashamed of. I prefer makeup-free days when my skin struggles and try to keep my routine simple and easy.’
On getting rid of blackheads she posted: ‘Lately, my go-to trick is using our pore power to you deep cleansing pore strips.
‘I like that each set includes strips for both the chin and nose and they are super gentle when helping to remove any blackheads.’

Millie was praised for her honesty, with one fan writing: ‘Thank you for showing this as I have had very bad acne growing up and just seeing this photo makes me so inspired.’
Someone else wrote: ‘When ever I’m feeling down about my skin I’ll always remember what mills said.’
Millie taught herself make-up techniques via YouTube videos.
The screen star spent ‘hours’ watching how people applied their cosmetics and she’s now very confident in doing her face herself.
She told Vogue.com: ‘I learned to do my own make-up going on YouTube and searching out makeup tutorials. I was, like, 12, and I just watched people do their make-up for hours.
‘When I would watch my grandma do her makeup in the morning, I loved the smell of her lipstick. 80 years into her life, she knew how she liked to do her make-up. I love that.’
The star is also happy to touch up her fiance Jake Bongiovi’s skin too.
She admitted: ‘Jake loves it when I put concealer on him.’
Millie has her own Florence by Mills range and she treats her co-stars to the products.
She said: ‘I brought in Florence products to set on Damsel. I definitely put eye gels on Nick Robinson, and I think he liked it.’
The Enola Holmes star is a big fan of blush now but used to ‘hate’ the product.
She said: ‘I hated blush. When I was young I was like, I want to look older! Put bronzer on me. But now, I love blush again! Woo hoo!’
Millie is ‘sad’ about her lack of natural brows.
She quipped: ‘My mom gave me a good spirit and a good attitude, but no eyebrows. I’m sad about that.’
But the actress has mastered a three-step routine for her brows, brushing them and filling them in with a pencil before adding a top coat of Charlotte Tilbury’s clear gel.
Millie then uses the make-up artist’s shadow in a chocolate shade and her own Call Time eyeliner before opting for a budget-friendly swipe of L’Oréal’s Voluminous Original Mascara in Deep Burgundy.
She said of the product: ‘I like the colour it brings out in my eyes.
‘I don’t like colouring my lashes; I don’t like other people colouring my lashes. But I actually love what [colours] do for my lashes.’
