The snippet comes a few weeks after she opened up about how “social media is fake” in another TikTok in regards to how filters can make everyone’s skin look perfect and glossy when it is not.

Earle continued: “I’m like allergic to spray tans and I got one so I think [my skin is] kinda just irritated right now, but it’s all good. Also, my lips are so dry from Accutane. I literally have a slit on the side of my mouth.”

Before signing off, Earle shared a message of hope for her followers with acne, saying, “Don’t compare yourself to what you see online.”
