My Skin Condition Made Me Cry - Now I Inspire Others | SHAKE MY BEAUTY

Описание: SUBSCRIBE to Truly: http://bit.ly/Oc61Hj

When Jasmine first noticed an area of her skin had turned lighter, she brushed it off. But as more spots appeared, Jasmine went to her doctor where she was diagnosed with vitiligo, an autoimmune skin condition where the cells that produce skin pigment are, as Jasmine put it: "being attacked by the body.” The vitiligo soon started spreading over Jasmine's body and face, growing 1mm every six months. Jasmine’s confidence was knocked. She told Truly: “I was really scared. Often I’d look in the mirror and just cry.” When she turned 25, Jasmine decided to embrace her vitiligo, leading to her creating ‘Tough Skin’ a non-profit organisation, which encourages people to embrace themselves. Concluding on her journey to acceptance, Jasmine added, "Vitiligo has really helped me to understand that skin colour doesn’t matter. You can be any colour under the rainbow and be beautiful just the way you are. I think a lot of people need to hear that.”
