Naya Rivera Struggles with Adult Acne
Glee's Naya Rivera is beyond gorgeous, but did you know that she has a beauty flaw she's hiding under her well made-up face?
Rivera, who plays Santana Lopez on Glee, is the new face of Proactiv, as she now admits, "I had really bad skin for awhile earlier this year."
She said her breakout issue "sort of just came out of nowhere. It was like adult acne, and I was like, I've had great skin my entire life. How am I dealing with this now at 24?"
As anyone who struggles with acne knows, it can be embarrassing, but working on a hit TV adds to the stress.
Rivera explains, "It was pretty embarrassing going to work every day and having to be on camera and having the makeup artists be like, 'Oh, what's going on?' "
Naturally, her co-stars were "really supportive."
She worked through the "point of insecurity," as she calls it, noting, "I'm glad I got it fixed, I'll say that."
Rivera has "scarring issues" from her breakouts, but credits Proactiv, which she says "really did work for me," adding, "It helped me out, so I got in contact with the company and told them I would love to share my story."
She has the pictures to prove that she's a worthy Proactiv spokesperson too, sharing, "Wait till people see my pictures. That's all I have to say. I definitely have the photos to prove [I had a problem]."
Rivera said it took "a couple of months" of Proactiv usage before her acne improved.
