«During all pregnancy I had beautiful skin, a little dry on the cheeks but i didn’t get a pimple I miss paying for it. Since when I gave birth they returned to the attack». As Aurora Ramazzotti, between the Stories of Instagram, go back to talking about skin, acne, self-acceptance. It’s not the first time that Michelle Hunziker’s eldest daughter has addressed this topic: a post from her Instagram from 2020 in which she showed the signs of acne on her face had gone viral. Now, after some time and in the new guise of a new mother, she is back to talking about it. Debunking certain myths and inviting to keep the right distance from those who dispense false truths.
Aurora Ramazzotti and the courage to accept yourself and show yourself as you are
«To post a photo like this, as you took it, now it takes courage. Especially for those who have always been in fights with their insecurity, their weight, their pimples». In July 2020 these words by Aurora Ramazzotti went viral. The influencer posted a close-up of her on Instagram without filters and without make-up, showing her 2.6 million followers all her imperfection. And challenging the aesthetic standards and ideals of beauty often imposed by social media and society. “I will always find it absurd that someone could even remotely be inspired by me who am a mess both inside and out,” she explained. Hence the choice to show her true image of her: «So, since I have the opportunity, I will exploit this same platform that smacks of perfection to remind us that perfection not only does not exist, but it is not even beautiful. We are beautiful, with our scars”.
You will see that as soon as you have a child they will go away

Two years later and with a baby in his arms, the influencer returns to the subject. For a simple reason: on his skin, always splendid during the months of pregnancy, now the pimples are back. And she decided to show them on Instagram with her usual irony: «I have a third eye» writes showing a pimple popped in the middle of the forehead. And she points her finger at phrases that are often repeated too lightly: «When they said “you’ll see that as soon as you have a child they go away” did they mean that you have to stay pregnant forever? The skin changes as we change” points out.
Words have an impact on us
And if on the one hand he invites not to repeat certain phrases, on the other he warns his followers and those who are having the same experience as him. «If you are a woman and you have had acne you have certainly heard that phrase. I’ve heard it a thousand times and although I know leather well enough to know that there is no manual for everyone to follow but there is only your one way… however inside of me I wondered a bit: who knows if it will be true. Because words have an impact on us.” It is probable, therefore, that Aurora Ramazzotti, like all of her, hoped to see her skin forever without imperfections as she saw it during the months of pregnancy. But it is good to distance oneself from certain words: «Do not believe those who offer you an essential solution. To those who have the presumption of knowing the why of things. To those who tell you what to do. Your road is yours and no one else’s».
