Ireland's Fittest Family star Anna Geary tells of battle with skin problems

RTE's Anna Geary has opened up about her battle with skin issues in a candid video.

The Ireland's Fittest Family coach and camogie star told her Instagram followers that although she receives messages asking how to get her "perfect skin", she is actually prone to breakouts.

She shared a closeup of spots on her chin as she spoke.

Anna, 32, said: "I have got a lot of messages from people asking how to achieve the perfect skin and I wanted to show you something.

"My skin is far from perfect. So you can see a lovely hormonal breakout that has just taken place on my skin this week."

She added: "Now they are healing and I suppose my skin is in a position now where it is able to fight breakouts a lot better and its much more tolerant.

"But stress does manifest in my skin in the form of breakouts and in a time like this where a lot of people are stressed and uncertain I just wanted you to know that sometimes it can get the better of me as well.

"It's really important as well that I show my real self on here and there it is.

"But I just wanted you to know that it happens to everyone.

"And I guess I'm just showing it because look when my skin isn't great my confidence is lower.

"I'm not feeling the best about myself and that's completely normal."

Anna previously told the Irish Mirror: “My skin is quite temperamental, if I make any sudden changes in my stress levels or hormones or diet, my skin will react to that.

“As a person who would be seen as very confident, I have insecurities like everybody else.

“You force yourself to be energetic, to be positive, but my skin was definitely an insecurity for me."
