Model and Gurls Talk founder Aboah famously shared selfies from a years-long project that documented her experience with acne, explaining that she had taken the pictures for herself as an exercise in acceptance.

She shared that it was “only ever meant for my eyes in order to obsessively scrutinise over my up and down battle with my skin. Some days it was acne, some days it wasn’t too bad, then mass breakouts followed by clear-as-day skin.

“It was exhausting never knowing what your skin was going to look like from one day to another; it was even more exhausting caring so much about what work thought or if people noticed,” she added.

However, she eventually chose to share the photos publicly: “Not because my skin is the worst you’ve everseen but because it feels time to let that sh*t go, time to join force with a community who bare their pimples for the world to see.”
