Selena Gomez Shares Makeup-Free Photos on Instagram, Embracing Natural Beauty

Singer and actress Selena Gomez took to Instagram to share a refreshing moment of authenticity with her followers over the weekend. In a series of makeup-free photos, the 31-year-old star embraced her natural beauty, showcasing her freckles and bare face in black-and-white images.

In one close-up shot, Gomez’s freckles were visible on the bridge of her nose as she wore her hair down, captioning the post ‘Real.’ The candid post garnered praise from famous friends like Taylor Peltz Beckham and Vanessa Hudgens, who commended Gomez for her stunning natural look.

Meanwhile, actor Jeremy Piven jokingly commented on Gomez’s beauty, highlighting the genuine and raw moment the star shared with her followers.

Continuing the theme of authenticity, Gomez also posted a playful selfie on her Instagram Story, showcasing a goofy expression with one eye closed and unstyled hair, clad in a gray robe.

Aside from her honest social media posts, Gomez has been open about her struggles with self-esteem and mental health. At a recent event titled ‘Mindfulness Over Perfection: Getting Real On Mental Health,’ the star shared insights on her journey towards self-compassion.

Reflecting on her Apple TV+ documentary ‘Selena + Chef,’ Gomez expressed regret over the harsh self-criticism she portrayed in the initial stages of the film. She emphasized the importance of self-kindness and spoke about the evolution of her perspective on mental health.

Gomez and her mother, Mandy Teefy, co-founded Wondermind, an online mental health platform that offers a safe space for individuals to discuss their mental health challenges. The duo launched the initiative in December 2021, aiming to promote open conversations and support around mental wellness.
