Singer Demi Lovato has admitted she finds it "difficult" being famous because of the huge pressures on women to look a certain way.
When asked for her opinion on celebrities photoshopping their images, the "Neon lights" hitmaker said: "It's not something I wish people would do, but for the celebrities that do it, I don't blame them. And I don't blame people for getting plastic surgery either if they are in the public eye.
"It's difficult to be a celebrity and to have that many more people hating on your pictures ... I would like to see a future where people are able to accept themselves for who they are and what they have. But listen, I do photo shoots and they get Photoshopped, so I can't hate on it."
The 22-year-old singer has been using photo-sharing website Instagram to encourage women to ditch makeup by reviving the #NoMakeupMonday trend, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
"Instagram has a way of making people's lives feel super glamorous. But it gets to a point where all you're seeing is posts that have so much makeup. I wanted to put it back out there that you don't have to put on all that makeup to be beautiful," Lovato told The Kit magazine.
