Kim Kardashian is living proof that her Skims shapewear line works wonders; and the fact that fans around the world can also achieve that enviably smooth silhouette for themselves is another great advertisement for the Skims line! However, it doesn’t seem like the same can be said for her Skkn by Kim skincare line, as the 42-year-old mom-of-four’s fans don’t think she is a good example for it after her real skin was exposed and it didn’t seem like her products, which she claims she uses, are working! Yikes!

Celebrities’ Real Skin Revealed On Instagram
The Instagram account @Beauty.False posted a video of celebrities’ real, unfiltered skin on March 30th, with Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, and Avril Lavigne, who has always been open about her struggles with her skin, among the examples. And interestingly, the comments section had mixed reactions.
Some people thanked the account for showing that even A-listers with all the money and resources in the world can still have bad skin days, while also thanking it for normalizing pores, lines, and natural skin texture, which many celebs Photoshop out of pictures. Other people in the comments section simply thought that celebs shouldn’t be using filters at all, as it can make us regular folk think that there is something wrong with our skin because it isn’t smooth and airbrushed.
Comments About False Advertising
"It’s the retouched photos that make me think I look old and haggard at 35 when celebs in their 40’s and 50’s look so much younger," someone commented. "They do have access to fillers and the best skincare and treatments money can buy but they still don’t look 20 once the filters are off."
"They set unrealistic goals for teenagers… don’t you think? False advertising of their make-up products," one Instagram user wrote in the comments section. "Personally, I don’t like it when people lie about obvious things. I can see the changed face of Kylie Jenner and she just lies about it and there are some people who actually believe her!" Another fan said teenagers should go to therapy to understand the difference between Photoshopped and non Photoshopped images, which someone else replied to saying: "Teens should not go to therapy because they think Kylie is pretty with perfect skin and an amazing body while they are none of those things! Calling everyone beautiful is also wrong because it’s simply not true! Rating public figures is what people do and calling a 'celebrity' dead average on a scale actually puts some perspective instead everyone beautiful doesn’t help anyone."
"Thanks for showing that even Kim’s skincare line doesn’t do [expletive,]" one fan wrote, followed by a crying laughing emoji. "No shade, but why spend hundreds of dollars on something that doesn’t give you the airbrushed version of what she is showing us?" they added.
"Thank you for posting. These people should be ashamed of themselves pretending they look like their airbrushed/Photshopped to the max images that no one can live up to," said another. "Even with all the money in the world and access to the best skin treatments it can still be difficult to get rid of spots and stop the ageing process," another IG user said, while someone else said they should "embrace" the aging process and "age gracefully," adding, "But they drag us into their fantasy world, where they look so perfect, and destroy the self-esteem of so many (young) people. I think that’s pretty bad."
Fans Grateful Real Skin Texture Is Exposed
"This actually made me feel better," commented another Insta user, to which one replied, "Me too," and another added, "Me too. Like a whole lot better... all this time I thought I was ugly for having visible pores." "Feeling like the only person with bumpy skin texture over here," said another, followed by two teary-eyed emojis.
"Most of them still look great. Just more human and relatable," said another. "Not even kidding. Half the time I see my makeup in pics, I assume my makeup sucks because I can see skin texture. All this photoshop has altered my brain chemistry," noted another, which we bet many people will agree with. "You’re doing God’s work because my skin texture makes me not want to leave my house. Filters and photoshop are giving me body dysmorphia. Now I feel normal. Thank you," commented another.
