Keke Palmer Gets Emotionally Candid About Her Skin Insecurities, And Her Struggles With Adult Acne Is Totally Relatable

The talk show host opened up in a lengthy Instagram post.

Keke PalmerĀ may be living her best life as the new co-host ofĀ Strahan, Sara & Keke, but that doesnā€™t mean the confident talk show host is exempt from the occasional beauty struggles weā€™ve all encountered.Ā 

Using her Instagram as a way to be transparent with her fans, the 26-year-old multi-talented star recently revealed the insecurities she struggles with due to her skin.

ā€œThis is a happy picture of me and my loved ones. Iā€™m trying to channel the energy I had in this photo because I woke up this morning in the worst spirit you guys, all because of my skin,ā€ Keke captioned an Instagram post on Sunday (Jan. 19).

She went on to express how discouraging it can be to try countless different methods, products, and treatments to only see no results.Ā 

ā€œItā€™s like you can try everything (which I have) and still nothing works. Every time I think my skin is on the up and up I turn around and Iā€™m broken out even worse than before,ā€ she added. ā€œScarred up and wondering which products I have to throw out if not ALL. Feeling completely insecure which in turn makes you irritable and just self conscious for the smallest reasons.ā€

She later concluded with the reasoning for being candid about her skin insecurities as well as expressing why positive affirmations from others donā€™t always make the person with the insecurities feel better.Ā 

ā€œI just thought to share because I know Iā€™m not alone and people always try to cheer you up or say you look beautiful which makes it worse because thatā€™s not how YOU FEEL. Then you feel bad about feeling bad smh. But, I think itā€™s okay to feel those things and to let yourself be for a minute,ā€ KekeĀ said.Ā 

She continued, ā€œIā€™m only human and everyday Iā€™m gonna roll with the punches but some days I will get the air knocked out of me. Gonna keep going though! Cause thatā€™s how I was built. Much love.ā€
