Kate Winslet has taken the charge to make women all over the world feel better as she recently posted a no-makeup picture of herself on social media.

The 39-year-old actress posted her candid make-up free photo on Facebook to combat negative body image and help women to embrace their individuality, reports News.com.au.

"I know I am chubby, I have big feet, and have bad hair days, when I grew up and even now sometimes, I hardly hear any positive reinforcement about body image from any female. I mostly hear negatives," she captioned the picture.

The 'Titanic' star further added, "Today, I want to put up a zero makeup photo. I know I have wrinkles on my skin but today I want you to see beyond that. I want to embrace the real me and I want you to embrace who you are, the way you are, and love yourself just the way you are."

Interestingly, the actress' post inspired other women to post makeup free photos of themselves in the comments, some of which even received personal replies from Winslet herself.
