Roy Rochlin / Getty Images On Tuesday, the Riverdale star shared a video across her social media pages detailing the unique ways she tried to hide her acne from the public, and how the popular CW series would sometimes help her do it. Robby Klein / Getty Images "I used to create fake bangs that I didn't have in order to hide my acne," Lili said. "Let me show you. This was my hair but I didn't have bangs." She proceeded to show a picture of herself from the 2018 PaleyFest in Los Angeles. Presley Ann / Patrick McMullan via Getty Images "I created a fake bang to go across my forehead. I historically would get this insane pimple, always in the middle of my face. It's a cystic pimple that you couldn't cover. And in this case I created a faux side bang to cover this large pimple." Lili Reinhart / instagram.com But that wasn't the first time she used a faux bang as an accessory to hide breakouts. She applied the same technique for the American Music Awards red carpet back in 2017. Neilson Barnard / Getty Images "Again with another event," she continued. "I had a pimple right under that little arch there." Neilson Barnard / Getty Images Lili revealed that the Riverdale producers created a way for audiences to only see cast members with clear skin on-screen, despite her constant struggles with acne. Unfortunately, there was one time they completely forgot to filter her face. Noam Galai / Getty Images "Also, on Riverdale, we would have something called a Beauty Pass. So, if you had a really bad breakout on set, that obviously you didn't want anyone to see, they could sort of go through and wipe it out in the frames...sort of like putting a filter on you." Lili Reinhart / instagram.com "And I remember the trailer for the infamous episode where I'm singing 'Mad World' came out, and in the trailer they didn't edit my skin." Lili Reinhart / instagram.com Here's a closer look at the trailer's thumbnail: Netflix / youtube.com Although, in hindsight, Lili said it wasn't "bad" but, at the time, she thought it was a big deal because she viewed the pimple as this colossal obstruction on her face. Gilbert Flores / Getty Images "This little guy right here, which felt 10x bigger to me on the day, made me so self-conscious. You know, I had to fake strip in front of a room full of people, and I had, what I thought was, a monstrosity on my face." Lili Reinhart / instagram.com "It's really not bad at all, but when you have acne you think of things in a more amplified way. But, yeah, I was so distraught that they didn't edit out the pimple on my forehead. So, to anyone out there, maybe it's helpful to know that the perfect skin you see out there on TV and in movies is not really what's going on." Lili Reinhart / instagram.com Fans immediately applauded her for being so honest about the way beauty is handled in Hollywood and today's society. Here's how they reacted on Instagram: "That you're so realistic with us will always be the best thing about your account," wrote one user.

Lili Reinhart / instagram.com "I love how real you are, truly thank you Lili," added one Instagrammer. Lili Reinhart / instagram.com "Going through a rough patch with my skin right now and this kind of transparency is something I really needed to hear.

Lili Reinhart / instagram.com And here are a few reactions from TikTok: "Acne dysmorphia is SO REAL," added this TikTok user. Lili Reinhart / tiktok.com "Thinking your acne looked so much worse than it did is so real. It always feels so much worse than it really looks," sympathized another. Lili Reinhart / tiktok.com "I've always wondered what actors and actresses do if they have acne cause in movies their skin always looks so flawless," someone wrote. To which Lili replied, "Smoke and mirrors." Lili Reinhart / tiktok.com "Wait this is so refreshing thank you -from an acne prone girl," said another. Lili Reinhart / tiktok.com "That's very helpful. Always thought they only hire people with clear skin," this user added. Lili Reinhart / tiktok.com "I could have used someone like you growing up. I had horrible acne and was teased relentlessly about it. Both by kids and adults. I thought I was a freak for the longest before realizing other people have it too," admitted one user.
