Millie Bobby Brown Goes Makeup-Free and Gets Candid About Her Skin After Criticism Over Her Appearance

Millie Bobby Brown is keeping it real.

On Friday, Feb. 28, the actress, 21, shared a video on her skincare brand Florence by Mills’ Instagram account that showed her without any makeup on her face as she spoke candidly about the current state of her skin.

Brown, in a red and white buttoned shirt, explained that she has a breakout that is “pretty bad,” as she recommended acne patches from her brand for treatment. 

“I don’t know if you can see, but my breakout’s pretty bad right now,” the Stranger Things star said to the camera.

“I’m 21 years old, figuring out what my skin likes, and what it doesn’t, but what it does like is the Spot a Spot Acne Patches,” Brown added while holding up the product.

Brown then noted that the Florence By Mills skincare patches are “infused with tea tree oil” and are “very calming.”

“It’s my savior right now,” she added, before signing off with, “I love you guys, and I hope everybody’s doing well. Much love.”

The clip was posted shortly after the Enola Holmes actress responded to recent chatter about her appearance.

A day earlier, Brown shared a screenshot of a British Vogue article with the headline, “No One Cares How Old You Think Millie Bobby Brown Looks” on her Instagram Stories. She wrote “Thank you” underneath the image.

The star was previously criticized online for looking older during recent media appearances – notably at the Los Angeles premiere of her new Netflix film The Electric State on Feb. 24.

At the event, Brown wore an Annie’s Ibiza metallic embroidered gown with a corset bodice and dramatic mermaid train. She accessorized her ensemble with diamond earrings while her new blonde locks were pulled up into a bun with front-facing bangs.

She was joined by her husband, Jake Bongiovi, who dressed in a black and white tuxedo and bow tie.
