Vitiligo Model Winnie Harlow, gives empowering talk at Women in the World event
Winnie - real name Chantelle Brown-Young who found fame after having her selfies discovered on social media said it was the positive reaction she received on social media that spurred her to pursue a career in modelling
And while the 2015 Women in the World event, held in London, saw some of the panelists, who included singer Nina Nesbitt and psychotherapist Susie Orbach, speak about the pressures and the downfalls of networking sites such as Instagram and Twitter, Winnie understandably was keen to sing their praises.
When Orbach surprised the audience by saying most girls want 126 'likes' whenever they upload a photo onto social media, the 21-year-old model said that there were also many positives to be taken.
Opening up about her body confidence, she said: 'Everyone asks me what the turning point was but it was just me making the effort to focus on my opinion on myself.'
The beauty - who suffers from a rare Vitilgo skin condition - added: 'I was like, wait I don't actually think I'm ugly - I think I'm beautiful. So where did I get this idea I wasn't? From someone else.
'Now I've learnt to just listen to yourself.' Read more

I used to have vitiligo all over my body and although I accept the reasons to not want to get rid of it but personally it was something I wanted to do. I tried a million creams & supplements but nothing ever really did anything for me but I was actually able to dramatically reduce my vitiligo after browsing online and trying different methods. The 3 things that worked for me (do them all):
ReplyDelete1. Mix Turmeric Powder And Mustard Oil. This stuff works amazing by just mixing the oil with the powder, applying to the affected skin and leaving it for about 15mins before drying it off. Repeat daily or more.
2. Drink water stored in a copper utensil. This will help in increasing the production of melanin in your body and your skin will show reduced whiteness.
3. Follow every single step in the free video & in the guide seen at naturalvitiligotreatmentsystems.com to get to the root of the problem naturally!!
Try my advice and hopefully you will get as much luck with getting rid of your vitiligo as i did :) xx
