Georgia Toffolo gets candid about her 17-year acne battle as she reveals another skin concern in Instagram vs reality clip after looking 'perfect' at Ascot

Georgia Toffolo has shared a candid message about her 17 years of acne as she revealed her hyperpigmentation battle in a clip on Friday.

The former Made in Chelsea star, 31, has been incredibly open about her decades-long battle with severe acne.

Despite turning heads with her stunning outfits at Royal Ascot all week, the TV star opened up about the realities behind her 'perfect' looks.

Sharing an Instagram vs reality clip, Georgia posted raw snippets of her skin before getting glam for the prestigious event. 

Sharing a candid message with her fans, she said: 'You’ve watched me look “perfect” all week. This is what was actually underneath it.

'31 years old. 17 years of acne. And now hyperpigmentation has arrived too - a whole new joy.

'If you’ve ever cancelled plans, dodged a photo, or turned your face away mid-conversation because of your skin…send this to the friend who needs to see she’s not the only one. Genuinely, why I posted it.

'Here’s the part nobody warns you about: the anti-acne stuff ages my skin, and the anti-ageing stuff breaks me out. 

'So you basically get to pick which problem you’d like today. Cool. Love that for us.

'Comment the age your skin stuff started for you - I want to see how many of us have been quietly fighting this for years. I’ll be down there with you.'

The post comes just hours after the reality star revealed that she got all dressed up for day five of Ascot before deciding not to go - but has still shown off her incredible pink outfit.

The star always goes to every single day of the event, but on Saturday, it all got too much and she cancelled her appearance at the last minute.

She still showed off her incredible pink frilly dress however as she posed on the balcony of the London penthouse she shares with her BrewDog millionaire husband James Watt. 

She penned in the caption of her post: 'The horses would have had competition today... if I actually made it to @ascotracecourse I got all dressed up then had to abandon going. 

'I'm so tired I've been sat on the sofa all day with the Montdog eating ice cream and watching the races on the tele in my pants - I felt amazing this morning in my look but I'm thinking I rewear it next year?!' 

Since the event kicked off on Tuesday, Georgia has been showing off her outfits to her fans.

On Friday, Georgia revealed her 'obscene' outfit choice as she slipped into a 90-year-old gold dress to take the tube to day four of the festival.

On Thursday, she donned a stunning yellow number after wowing in an off-the-shoulder gold dress.

For the first day of Ascot, she donned a green embellished maxi dress. 

It comes after Georgia admitted to having a wobble over her hair, after dying her blonde locks to a warm chocolate brown. 

Announcing the change, the television personality wrote on Instagram: 'I went darker again it felt like the right moment for a softer, richer me, and somehow this gown was the final push…

'I had a little wobble yesterday when I looked in the mirror and didn’t quite recognise myself, but looking at the photographs from today, I think I made the right decision. What do you guys think?'

Georgia later showed off her day two look on Instagram and said: 'I was going to use a wildly inappropriate swear word to describe the pure elation that I feel at this Royal Ascot outfit. 

'It's the most exquisite, beautiful creation. I actually think I've been waking up in the night dreaming about this dress.'

Georgia described her hat as 'mad funky' and then showed off her Royal Enclosure pin. 

Royal Ascot, the jewel in the crown of the UK racing calendar, started on Tuesday with the Queen Anne Stakes and The King Charles III Stakes and will run until Saturday.

The prestigious festival is just as famous for its fashion as it is for its races - and this year, statement hats were the focal point of revellers' eye-popping looks as day one of the annual race meeting got underway.

Dressed to impress, guests wore a variety of show-stopping headpieces as they descended on Ascot for a day of equestrian fun.

The festival was founded by Queen Anne in 1711 after she declared Ascot ideal for 'horses fit for kings' and has today become a major social event as well as a sporting attraction.

Stylish racegoers at the event turned the racecourse into a sea of vibrant outfits as they donned bright prints to ensure they stood out from the crowd.

Royal Ascot is known for its strict dress code. Whilst no dress code rules apply in the Windsor Enclosure, although the majority of guests choose to dress up regardless, a strict dress code operates across the Royal and Queen Anne Enclosures.

Hats are a must in both Royal enclosures. Alternatively, a headpiece or 'hatinator' with a minimum base diameter of 4 inches (10cm) is also acceptable.

Dresses must be knee length or longer and forget spaghetti straps - all shoulders must be a minimum width of 1 inch (2.5cm).

Strapless, off-the-shoulder and one-shoulder items are also banned in the Royal and Queen Anne Enclosures.

Shorts of any kind are not permitted. But having been included in the dress code since 1971, trouser suits remain a popular choice - although they mustn't be mismatched.
