![]() While she said she would never edit a picture of her body again, Ms Nyssa said she understood why others feel compelled to and would never judge someone who does. "For so long cellulite has been seen as a really bad thing … when really it is a normal, natural thing and of women have cellulite. " if you're not the idealistic beauty, then that's unhealthy and you're promoting an unhealthy body image, which I just think is ridiculous," she said. She believes the hate comes from people with a narrow mindset of what is healthy versus unhealthy. "A lot of the hate comments I actually do get is on pictures that I post of my cellulite, because they're completely untouched and raw," she said. "So I feel like when I post a photo of something that's 'real', then people can relate to that."īut with the positive reaction comes the hate, and Ms Nyssa admits the body shaming she and other influencers like her receive would deter others from posting their true selves. "I feel like we've needed this for so long, we just needed real vulnerable people because it was just the media that was just saturated with editing and smoothing and stuff like that. "When I started posting, I was reaching all these people and they were like 'it is so nice to see just a natural body'. Ms Nyssa said she began posting unedited pictures of herself when she returned to social media after a break at the age of 19. "I want to break the mold and just show girls that you can just be who you are without the editing, without FaceTune, without the posing, and just to be happy with who you are in your beautiful self." The 24-year-old is among a growing - but still relatively small - number of influencers promoting body love, posting unedited and unposed images to her more than 570,000 Instagram followers showing her figure, her natural skin texture. ![]() Sydney influencer Ariella Nyssa is pushing back against the expectation that women only post images showing smooth, unblemished skin and flat stomachs. Ariella posts her natural self, cellulite and all Lauren said she wants her girls to be happy with who they are, to know there's no such thing as perfect. "I've got two daughters and I would hate to think that they would feel the need to do what I'm doing," she said. Lauren is speaking up to set an example for her daughters, confronting her own behaviour. "Then naturally, through social media, you see all these other mums and they present so well when you can't help but feel, honestly, crappy about your own appearance and you find yourself editing to try to look better." "By the time I had three kids I didn't recognise myself anymore and I started to become really self-conscious. "My husband and I had our first child when I was 21 and I kind of went from this young, vibrant, 21-year-old living it up and partying to becoming this mum," she said. The 31-year-old said the need to change these things about herself started after having kids.
