Warts and all put model out picture
A model who decided on a little transparency about her beauty regime has lost thousands of Instagram followers in the process. Stina Sanders, 24, from Bristol, UK, decided to unfilter her grooming diary for a week - no lies, no filters, no gimmicks - in a trailblazing attempt to empower women miffed by the apparently perfect world of a beauty blogger.She started with a snap featuring her top-lip hair-removal ritual , and then a photo of her runner's feet. "My toe nails are falling off, I have swollen ankles and disfigured toes," she wrote.The brave blogger uploaded a selfie taken too quickly from the most unflattering angle below her chin, a trip to the psychotherapist and a post about her Irritable Bowel Syndrome.All perfectly normal stuff, right? Well yes, and no. Sanders reported that she lost more than 3000 followers in a week."I thought that my followers would remain the same but I would get no likes, but the total opposite happened. I have had an influx of likes, but I had a massive decrease of followers."..
