I Was Scared To Show My Face… Until Now | SHAKE MY BEAUTY

AFTER years of suffering from low esteem, an aspiring beauty blogger started embracing her rare facial birthmark through social media. Casey, 24, from Blaine, Washington, was born with a vascular birthmark that resulted in a port-wine stain on her face and growth of the lower lip. Growing up Casey ‘hated’ her reflection in the mirror and felt insecure about her appearance due to the pressure to look a certain way.

Casey says that social media has helped her to learn to love her birthmark and today she spreads awareness of visible difference by sharing her own story of living with a facial birthmark.
