The model welcomed her daughter Luna in 2016

Speaking on The Meredith Vieira Show in 2015, Chrissy said: "I have those apps, the Facetune and Photoshopping ones, and I just didn't feel like doing it anymore—and I'm never doing it again, because I think we forgot what normal people look like now."

Chrissy continued: "I mean, people are nip-tucking [their photos]. It's gotten to the point where they're not smoothing their skin anymore, they are actually changing the shape of their body and everybody else. Nobody can compare to that when you're fixing yourself so much."

The model, who is married to John Legend, has also previously admitted to fans that she was suffering from skin breakouts following the birth of her daughter.

Chrissy took to Snapchat to show her followers the effects that pregnancy had on her skin, posting a striking selfie in which she chose to go completely make-up free. "Goodbye pregnancy glow. Hi itchy red spots," she captioned the close-up snap, as she jokingly pouted for the camera.
