‘DWTS’ Pro Jenna Johnson Shares a Powerful Message About Self-Love: ‘You Are Enough’

In a world where the most popular filter on Instagram makes you look like a Bratz Doll with Louis Vuitton logos on your face, it can be difficult to embrace the skin you’re in! Thankfully, celebs like Jenna Johnson Chmerkovskiy are brave enough to set a positive example. “This is me! FREE, unfiltered, no makeup, freckles, sunburn, pimples and all,” the Dancing With the Stars pro, 25, captioned a stunning photo of herself on Wednesday, November 6. 

“I’ve always struggled [to find] complete happiness in the ‘bare’ me. When I hit my [twenties], I started getting intense acne I’d never had before. For years — and sometimes even now — I feared leaving the house without any makeup on,” Jenna admitted. “The thought of anyone seeing my bumpy red skin made me embarrassed and ashamed. I always felt the need to cover everything up in order to feel ‘pretty’ and accepted.”

The Utah native concluded her powerful message with a special reminder for her followers. “I’ve tried my best to use social media to be as open and honest with all of you! #AsSheIs is a reminder that behind it all, we are all human! Behind the glamorous photo shoots, filters, professional makeup, and glitz and glam … there is a beautiful soul perfectly imperfect,” Jenna wrote. “In moments of self-doubt or comparison, remind yourself YOU ARE ENOUGH!! You are special and you are so loved just as you are.”
