Porizkova,who has been candid in the pastabout her use of non-invasive treatments on her face, stated “for the record” that she has had laser treatments and aplasma pen treatment.
“I’d like to strike a balance between being proud to look my age and still get to feel pretty at times. In my job, I’m faced with my own face in almost unnatural detail - and although I have come to accept most of it, I still have a rough time accepting it all,” she wrote.
Her caption goes on to say that no one should tell a woman “what she ‘needs’ to do to herself, in order to be seen as attractive.”
“Whether it’s hair color, makeup, ski creams or clothing - or the more invasive options - is shaming her,” she wrote. “Every time you catch yourself thinking or saying ‘you know, you should…’ to a friend, stop for a moment. If she doesn’t ask for help, are you really helping?”
“Find what you think is beautiful in your friends and point it out. The best way to support one another is to celebrate what is already there,” she concluded.
