10 Instagram accounts that give us confidence

On Instagram, many accounts make us smile with their engaged posts. Need a positive body shot to regain self-confidence? Aufeminin presents its 10 favorites.

@myfacestory

Behind the My face story account is Kali Kushner, a young woman whose severe acne has long been part of everyday life. Followed by tens of thousands of subscribers, it's no surprise that she tells "the story of her face" through her posts. Warning: do not count on it for Photoshop his skin so as to make it smoother. Long a victim of mockery, she is no longer ashamed. On the contrary, she now exposes her scars without complex and explains freely how she managed to get rid (mostly) of her acne. His goal ? Prove to people affected by this dermatological disease that they are not alone, give them hope and overcome prejudices !

@celestebarber

By the pool Rihanna style, or posing naked behind a wicker basket like Alessandra Ambrosio … You could not miss this hilarious account. Celeste Barber is a perfectly normal young lady having fun in parody the biggest stars. Result? She posts terribly funny pictures on Instagram. Through her small shootings, she wishes to remind us of the reality of things, and to uninhibit us from all this "perfect" universe highlighting a well-defined standard of beauty.

@grombe

The pseudo " grombe "Comes from the contraction of the words" gray "(Gray in English) and" shadow ". That might not inspire you much, but you'll just have to scroll through a few of this account's posts on Instagram to understand what it is all about. In fact, you will only find more or less graying hair, all proudly displayed! Straight, curly, frizzy, short, long hair… On this profile, diversity is essential: there are even all ages ! The common point between all the photos found there: they all honor the gray hair.
It was at the age of fourteen that the grombe designer saw her first white hair appear. Very self-conscious, she never stopped coloring them for ten years. Today, she no longer just takes them on, but celebrates them wholeheartedly through her Instagram account created in honor of gray hair, whatever it is.

@peterdevito

From the top of his 21 years, Peter DeVito is already campaigning on Instagram to break certain taboos. He started out by posting pictures of acne-prone skin on which he wrote messages. Small stickers stuck to the buttons and forming "Love yourself"(or in French," aime-toi "). Today, the creativity of the young photographer has extended to the different silhouettes. Peter DeVito now highlights bodies. Our favorite shot? The one advocating the message"My body, my rules"(or in French," My body, my rules ").

@lafillequiadestaches

The girl with spots is the nickname that was given to Julie when she was younger: a young woman who today has of its physical particularity a strength. Born with angiomas covering 70% of his body, she knows what are inappropriate remarks and insistent stares … Behaviors that – in adolescence – almost pushed her to get rid of her angiomas. Fortunately, many years later, they are still there and, on her Instagram account, she proudly displays and celebrates her idiosyncrasies. that make it so unique. She also talks about her weight. His credo: stop censorship, all bodies are beautiful.

@lalaamisaki

At the same time mother, influencer, and model plus size, Lalaa Misaki regularly shares her advice as well as her kindness on social networks. She does not hesitate to get involved for a good cause. Lalaa Misaki recently joined forces with Dove, and took part in her beautiful project #MontrezNous. With different pictures posted on Instagram, the influencer has lent herself to the game by revealing herself natural, and without complexes. She does not hide anything from her community who also love her for her outspokenness. "1m71, 104 kilos, Size 48, 105G, size 41 … Distinctive signs: Tattoos, scars, stretch marks, cellulite …"she detailed under an Instagram post."I am like you, alive, human, unique. (…) Life is far too short to suffer from a few rules imposed by people you don't even know". Often very strong inspiring messages which have the sole purpose of freeing us from our complexes!

@_aprilkae

If there is one thing April Kae is not ashamed of – quite the contrary, even – it is good to his hairs. On his Instagram, his hair is exposed without taboos. After all, what is more natural than body hair? Why should we hide them? It’s not April Kae who will say otherwise. His hairiness? She is proud of it and makes it almost artistic in every photo she shares. No longer waxing is a choice for her, a decision that she clearly accepts fully. By visiting his Instagram profile, you will also certainly notice her beautiful natural afro hair : she is just as proud of it, and we are just as fans.

@nunude_official

Nünude is a British fashion brand offering both lingerie, swimsuits, as well as basic clothes … in nude shades adapting to all skin tones. But Nünude's promise does not stop there since we also find a wide selection of sizes on its e-shop – ranging from XS to XXXL. And by looking a little more closely at the campaigns shared on Instagram, we also discover a great diversity in the choice of models presenting the parts; including a small top, an older model, or a woman with a leg amputee.

@gaelleprudencio

Blogger, influencer, fashion designer… Gaëlle Prudencio has more than one string to her bow! But whatever she does his fight against grossophobia does not weaken. Work for the body positivism ? She made it her main mission. So, on her Instagram account, celebrating her curves is the rule. So much so, moreover, that the young woman of Beninese origin ended up establishing herself as one of the emblematic figures of the movement in France. Radiant, with her size 56, she has complete confidence in herself and is very proud of her body. In fact, "Proud to be myself" is the name she chose to give to her book. Gaëlle Prudencio delivers the keys to accepting oneself when one does not comply with the standards of society. On her Instagram account, she puts her advice into practice and leads by example!

@douzefevrier

Julie, great burn, is very popular on Instagram – a social network on which she has more than 544,000 followers. We appreciate the one we nickname Twelve February for her investment in the body positive movement. A nickname that refers to the date on which his life changed. On February 12, 2013, while the young woman was taking part in her high school carnival disguised as a sheep, the ash from her cigarette ignited her costume. 3rd degree burns on 40% of his body, she was in an induced coma for three months. When she woke up, she needed physical rehabilitation, but the hardest part was coming to terms with her new scarred body. A peculiarity that Julie no longer hides.
