When you're suffering with a breakout so bad that you don't want to leave the house, it's good to know that you're not alone. Spare a thought for the celebs who can't cancel a concert or press conference just because they're having a bad skin day! Sometimes it's comforting to know just how many total sex goddesses struggle with living out their daily skin battles under the glare of the paparazzi:
Katy Perry:
"One of my insecurities is that I have acne scars. I'm self-conscious about that so sometimes I wear too much makeup to cover them up. When you suffer with blemishes, you don't feel very free."
Keira Knightley:
"I always get acne so it's incredibly nice when they take it out digitally. I wish they could do that for me in everyday life."
Lorde:
She regularly shares photos of her skin trials – whether it's how her real problem skin is photoshopped to make it look perfect (above), or sitting in hotel rooms covered in spot cream. Her message to her fans: "Remember, flaws are OK."
Cameron Diaz:
"I mean, I had terrible, terrible skin. It was embarrassing. I used to eat a cheeseburger and fries every day. But once I stopped, a funny thing happened…my skin began to clear up."
Rihanna:
"When I feel like my skin has had it, I cut out all alcohol and overdo the water. And lipstick is essential – it draws attention away from any flaws."
