In a video shared to Instagram on Thursday (March 27), Danni shared numerous photos of her skin. She also shared footage of her documenting the procedures she’s tried.
Using a voiceover for the post, Danni admitted: “This is a hard share for me. I’ve never had perfect skin but when I developed adult acne, I didn’t want to leave the house, never mind get in front of a camera.
This is a hard share for me.
“I tried everything from lasers to antibiotics and some of them worked for a period of time but it would always come back. I got recommended to take Roaccutane many times, but I didn’t want to do that. When I was in LA, I found out some girls were taking something called Spirlactone which you have to get through a dermatologist but you know what, it worked, and I haven’t had a problem since.”
She concluded: “So if you are struggling with your skin I just wanted to share some of my journey. Things aren’t always as great as they look and it is possible for it to get better.”
In her caption, Dannii insisted: “All that glitters is not gold.”
The Scottish presenter expressed that she is aware that there are “plenty of us out there struggling, and I know exactly how bad skin can make you feel so it was important for me to share this”.
Dannii declared she now does “lots of maintenance” and is “very particular about my products”. However, she wanted to “share the hardest part of my skin journey because there’s not enough realness on here”.
