Georgia Toffolo reveals her natural skin as she shares an insight into her acne battle and says ‘I’ve spent more on foundation than some have on rent’

Georgia Toffolo revealed her natural skin as she shared an insight into her acne battle on Monday. 

The TV personality, 31, said she’s ‘spent more on foundation than some have on rent’ while discussing her updated makeup routine. 

Georgia, who has always been open about her skin, has suffered from spots and scarring since she was a teenager and has said that it has always been her ‘biggest struggle’.

In a video shared to Instagram, she showed her followers how she covers breakouts and ‘quietly outwits it’ with a number of products. 

Georgia explained: ‘I’ve had problematic skin for 15 years. So when a breakout appears… I don’t spiral anymore.

‘I’ve learnt the hard way that panicking makes it so much worse. Throwing every product at it? BIG NO. Calm skin behaves better than cross skin.’

She continued: ‘When it comes to covering. Less is always more. Start small and build slowly.

‘The goal isn’t to plaster it into submission. It’s to quietly outwit it. It took me a long time to realise this is just my skin, and that’s okay!!!

‘What I actually use: Erborian UK CC Red Correct, Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation & Concealer and Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm (a bright lip is a distraction tactic).’

Georgia previously told the Daily Mail that her stint on I’m A Celebrity was the start of her ‘weird little journey’ in embracing her natural skin, as makeup is not allowed in the jungle. 

The star, who went on to win the show in 2017 before taking on the All Stars edition in 2023, said: ‘I was really nervous about doing that.

‘And it was so weird. I thought that my skin would have been a lot better, but it wasn’t.

‘Over the years I’ve figured out that, actually, all of the tests that I’ve had, everything I’ve tried skin flare-ups, very connected to stress levels.’

She previously said she didn’t feel totally herself on the show without her ‘war paint’.

Georgia said: ‘My skin was something that made me feel less than confident, really. I had a bit of light trolling when I came out of the jungle.’

However, the star said that by discussing her skin publicly since then, she has been able to overcome some of her insecurities. 

She added: ‘But I did this amazing feature on This Morning and it was really simple: I just took off my makeup.

‘I was so worried about what people would say about my acne. But I just carried on. I looked down the barrel of the camera. 

‘I said some of the nasty things that I’ve read across socials, and it had such an impact.’ 

The NHS reports that the majority of people stop experiencing acne in their 20s, but in three percent of the population, it can persist over the age of 35.
