The 27-Year-Old working as a support worker for people with learning disabilities got the inspiration to share the truth behind edited pics after she shared a few images years back when she had acne and got good responses from people who could relate. Holly told BoredPanda that she’s guilty of always scrolling through Instagram and seeing perfect selfies with the ideal life.

Holly believes beauty filters have a massive effect on people, including mental health problems. Her newest experiment [compiled below] hasn’t been used on her social media, and they preach having flaws, texture, and scars are NORMAL.
