01:20 - These pimples up here are not happy.

01:22 This one right here isn't.

01:24 I think they're formal.

01:26 But I just cleaned my face.

01:30 And then for this one that just looks really angry with me,

01:34 I'm just gonna put one of our stickers on there.

01:36 Some tea tree oil spot stickers

01:39 to just give that the love it needs.

01:43 - Fans flooded Millie's comment section,

01:51 - But the list doesn't end there.

01:52 - I mean, it's my face, you know?

01:58 every night before I go to bed.

01:59 And I think if I can feel comfortable

02:07 to share a fresh-faced post either.

02:11 for not editing out her acne in photos.

02:17 proof that it's like, you just gotta really be yourself.

02:20 And the more you can have the confidence in yourself,

02:24 like, people are just going to look at you

02:27 because, well, if she can be confident in herself

02:29 when she has that, then I can too.

02:31 - There's also Keke Palmer,

02:33 who asked the million dollar question.

02:38 They can give you a boob job above the muscle,

02:41 under the muscle, liposuction, tummy tuck, BBL.

02:44 They can even implant muscles.

02:45 I mean, the list goes on,

02:46 but they cannot figure out how to clear up somebody's skin.

02:50 Are you kidding me?

02:52 - But just a few months later,

02:56 she joked she found the cure.
