Heidi Klum’s daughter got candid on Instagram about her battle with acne. Leni Klum, 16, shared an unfiltered photo of her skin up close, revealing an active breakout and a bit of redness on her cheek.
“My skin on a bad day,” she endorsed the photo, adding the hashtags: “#nomakeup #nofilter #sowhat.”
In addition to the photo on her feed, she shared a video of her naked face on Instagram Stories. In the short cut, the teenager shifts her head from left to right to show fans the outbursts she currently has on her face and writes: ‘bad skin. also it will pass away. ”
Fans in the comments applauded the teenager for showing off her untouched skin and that they became real about the general skin struggle that many experience.
“I like that she’s so openly generous with it,” an Instagram user wrote. “Wish everyone would be like her. Great role model Leni! ‘
“Yes, let’s normalize it,” one commenter wrote.
Another person added: “So cool that you show a little reality ❤️❤️.”
A fan thanked Leni for posting the photo and added: ‘You are a beautiful flower. Raw beauty and truth. I look up to you. ‘
Leni recently appeared on the cover of the January / February issue of Vogue Germany with her famous mother in her first big splash in the modeling world. The mother-and-daughter duo donned daring pantsuits with color pads while posing for the cover, while Klum gave her daughter a kiss on the cheek.
“So excited for my first cover !!” she wrote on Instagram. “I had so much fun with @voguegermany who could not dream of a better start !! Thank you for being by my side @heidiklum❤ ”
Leni told Vogue that it was only a matter of time before she followed in her mother’s footsteps and would become a model herself. “The first offer came when I was just 12 or 13, from a brand I liked to wear: Brandy Melville,” she said. ‘At that point, I begged my mother, but no chance. Now I understand that it would have been too early. ‘
The 47-year-old model and mother of four has kept her children mostly out of the spotlight over the years, but has given her blessing to Leni to make her modeling debut.
“Sixteen is a good age,” she explained. ‘If you can drive a car, you can also have an official Instagram account and show your face. And being allowed to start a ‘Vogue’ cover is an insane privilege. ‘
