We’re all in this together. No, we’re not quoting High School Musical; we’re talking about how our favorite stars are just like us — at least when it comes to self-esteem. Unretouched celebrity photos show us their cellulite, stretch marks, scars, butt pimples, and that most of the time their bodies don’t look like what you see in the magazines. They’re human beings who have to deal with the same hang-ups we all do, plus the harsh judgment the media puts on them for any minimal flaw (or what society considers a flaw). The struggle on their mental health is real, no matter how full their bank accounts may be.

To get a celebrity picture worthy of printing, lighting operators and makeup artists ensure every inch of their client looks unblemished. Retouchers then spend hours perfecting any stray hair or bump. But, as much as these things highlight their beauty, there’s nothing like a good old Instagram reality check for a bit of body positivity and love. When stars show themselves without makeup or filters and with all the imperfections we also have, it helps us realize that those same imperfections don’t make them any less worthy of love or attention. 

We’ve got a gallery of unretouched photos of celebrities who embraced and shared the beauty of their skin — take a look at these awesome ladies for a refreshing dose of reality and body positivity!

Listening to her songs gave me the confidence to tuck my shirt inside my jeans instead of constantly hiding my belly under baggy shirts. After decades of being told not to wear this and that, it feels liberating to finally start gaining that confidence.

She just looks so much better without the makeup and pony tail. I'd hate my hair in the same do every day. Not to mention it hurts when your hair is pulled back like that by the end of the day.

She looks pretty, but isn‘t that just fluff only visible in direct sunlight? This is how my whole face looks 😂. She looks pretty of course, but seriously if someone thinks, these are actual unshaved hairy legs, they haven‘t seen any.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with stretch marks! I don't know why magazines try to retouch (photoshop) them, making a lot of us believe it's not normal. Majority of people have them, they are normal!!!

Looked like my ankles. I do not judge on appearance, but be careful. Swollen ankles during pregnancy can be bad. It can be a sign of Preeclampsia. People that have it during pregnancy can have heart attacks, kidney failure and edemas. After you give birth, you run the risk of seizures and strokes. A friend of mine got terrible blood clots after she gave birth to her second son. She had to be hospitalized for a few days while they put her on medication to get rid of them.
