An influencer cured her adult facial acne by ditching McDonalds, dairy and alcohol – and now doesn’t ever wear makeup. <br /><br />Kena Tchiteya, 27, had her first flare up two years ago and was so ashamed she didn't even want to take her eight-year-old son out.<br /><br />She'd try to cover up her spots with thick foundation and concealer, or keep her face mask on, but it still took a huge toll on her self-confidence.<br /><br />Kena, from Montreal, Canada, said: “I tried everything under the sun and it made it worse.<br /><br /> “At first I would find myself spending long hours trying to touch up [my make-up], not feeling fully satisfied with the outcome. <br /><br />“I always felt like I could cover more, it was never ending.” <br /><br />After seeking professional help, and investing all her savings on products, facials and chemical peels her spots began to fade.<br /><br />But it wasn't until she ditched her weekly McDonalds spree along with all dairy, alcohol and fizzy drinks, that it cleared up for good.<br /><br />She said: “I don’t feel the need to hide anymore. <br /><br />“I barely ever use filters on my social media either, because I love how I look like naturally. <br /><br />“I have discovered true self love even since I put my health as a priority.” <br /><br />Interview filmed within February 2022.
