Her Boyfriend Left Her When He Saw What She Really Looked Like

"My ex-boyfriend didn't stick by me and it broke my heart at the time. He didn't appreciate me for who I was . . . I used to wear long sleeves or long trousers every single time I left the house. It's very difficult to have people staring at you as if you're different to them."

After her boyfriend left her, Sophia began studying cosmetology and is now pursuing a career as a professional makeup artist. Today she feels much more confident in her own skin than she did as a teenager. She even shares pictures of herself with and without makeup on Instagram to inspire others to accept their own imperfections.

"I hope to encourage people in a similar position to be comfortable with their psoriasis. I've already received so much support on social media and people in a similar position always ask me how I cope through it."
