Speaking about an insecurity which is the skin on her face that she's been battling since giving birth, Seyi Shay opened up saying:

SEYI SHAY: Welcome to Sharing with Shay where I share things about my life you probably didn't know. And today I'm gonna tell you about one of the biggest insecurities I have, which is the skin on my face.

I had a kid 3 years ago, and it left me with some disgraceful hormonal acne. In fact, I still have my pregnancy marks, and I couldn't find anything to get rid of them.

Now, being in the limelight where I always have to be making appearances and things, it gives me such big insecurities because of how my skin looks.

And I would say that eating well, healthily, wholly, and using natural products has really been what has helped. It's an ongoing process, but it's getting so much better.

And my mantra is, if you wouldn't put it in your body, don't put it on your body.
