Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, better known by her stage name Doja Cat, battled beauty hysteria.

The American rapper and songwriter has posted a photo on his Instagram account, in which he shows that he doesn’t have perfect skin either.

“Normalize this” was the message.

The Daily Mail, which also reported on the case, said the American artist was named “Most Played Artist” at the iHearts Radio Awards.

Doja Cat was also nominated in the “artist of the year” category. Here he is nominated alongside Beyoncé, Drake, Dua Lipa, Jack Harlow, Justin Bieber, Lizzo, Taylor Swiftm The Weeknd and winner Harry Styles.

By sharing unedited photos of her problem skin with her 26.1 million followers on Instagram, Doja Cat is showing her fans that a little bit of acne and uneven skin is absolutely normal – and that all the glitz that comes with the pop star life and what young people are probably used to seeing. social media does not present the full picture.

Hopefully, Doja Cat, who is a role model for so many young people, will help young people struggling with acne and other skin problems to see that they are not alone.

In a article on Forskning.no says Kethe ME Svantorp-Tveiten who examines young people and their relationship with their bodies, that the dream of an ideal body still creates many problems for young people. And social media plays an important role in the self-image of boys and girls.

– They must learn to be more critical of what they see there. Young people find it easy to compare themselves to others. Social media offers a great opportunity for just that, says Svantorp-Tveiten.

Her study also shows that young people can improve their relationship with their body and appearance by becoming more critical of social media, and learning what is normal.
