Nina Dobrev Sizzles in Knit Bra as She Gets Candid on Unrealistic Beauty Standards
Celebrity

The 28-year-old actress talks about her insecurities and reveals that she is concerned about how the current beauty standards affect young girls in an interview for Ocean Drive's latest issue.

AceShowbiz - Nina Dobrev is a complete bombshell as she graces the cover of Ocean Drive magazine's September issue. The Bulgarian-born stunner dazzles in the photo shoot, rocking natural makeup and a pink crocheted Prada bralet with a tweed jacket slung over her shoulders.

While she is looking flawless in the photo, "The Vampire Diaries" star embraces all her imperfections in an interview with the mag. The actress, who went makeup-free in PEOPLE's Most Beautiful issue this year, shares that she wants young people to look up to her and embrace all their flaws instead of following the unrealistic beauty standards.

"It's so not real--that's the scariest part. And now we have apps that can Photoshop anything and everything, which puts out an image that's not realistic," she explains. "Young girls see this image and think that's what they should be and that's how they should wake up. That was one of the main reasons I wanted to be a part of that issue [PEOPLE's Most Beautiful] and especially proud to represent the section [with no makeup on]."

"I don't wear makeup on a daily basis. I try to reflect that on my social media," she adds. "When I do Instagram stories, I'm not all dolled up and glamorous, it's a peek into my day-to-day life, which is kind of normal and average."

Nina also gets real about her everyday problems. "I get pimples and zits all the time and I deal with them just like anybody else, with zit cream!" she says. "Sometimes I walk out of the house with the zit cream and forget about it. And that's just life, it's unpredictable and awkward and we all feel insecure all the time but that's completely normal and everybody has good days and bad days. It's especially important now to show young girls that and to make them aware that they are perfect exactly the way they are."

When asked about her insecurities, the actress truthfully admits, "I'm very busy and on the go I don't sleep that much. I have terrible dark circles under my eyes as a result of that, so I'm constantly aware of covering up my dark circles and trying to look like I've slept 10 hours when I've only slept 3."

This isn't the first time Nina encourages her fans to embrace their appearances. In an interview earlier this year, she shared. "At the end of the day, you are what makes you beautiful. Your personality, your aura and who you naturally are. I absolutely feel comfortable going out in public and on social media without makeup. It's real. When I have a lot of makeup on, that's usually work. At home, I just let it breathe."
