Actress with severe psoriasis posts powerful make-up free photos to reveal the truth about living with the agonising skin condition

Ciena Rae Nelson, from Los Angeles (pictured), has shared two snaps on Instagram showing how she covers up the painful red patches on her skin (left) and how her skin really looks underneath the thick layer of make-up she applies each day (centre). 




Although she admits increasing the saturation on her barefaced snap to highlight the difference between the pictures, she says that it reveals the extent of her condition. Ciena has previously posted other photographs of herself explaining the extent of her skin condition and the anxiety it can cause (right).
