Why you should follow: Brinta Ponnuthurai, known online as Brynta Ponn, has gained more than 125,000 followers thanks to her message of self-acceptance, which of course extends to her skin: especially stretch marks and hyperpigmentation.

“The internet can be a really toxic, fake place and I wanted to contribute not only something positive but something real to it,” Brinta tells Stylist. “I want to give people a chance to see someone who looks like me – with dark skin, texture and stretch marks – and know that it is possible to embrace those things and see them as beautiful and not something that needs to be hidden or changed.”
