"I feel like there is a thought behind having acne that you're not beautiful with it or it makes you look not as good as you could look," she recently told People.
"There's this stigma. I honestly used to feel like that too, a while ago. Then I realized, 'Oh my God, this is normal.' Everyone goes through it ... It's not bad if you have it. It's something that anyone can get and it's not your fault and it's hormonal."

Back in January 2021, Leni posted a close-up photo of her skin on a "bad day", revealing the blemishes on her face.
"There were days where I just wanted to stay home and didn't want to leave the house until my acne cleared up," she confessed. "Then I realized I can't live like that.

"I can't let pimples on my face prevent me from leaving the house. So, I decided to post a photo of my acne because it's normal."
She added: "A lot of people have acne that make it seem like they don't and then people see that on social media and they're like, 'None of these gorgeous girls have acne.' But some do and I don't think that's a bad thing."
