Olivia Bowen praised by fans for not covering her psoriasis as she models sexy lingerie
LOVE Island's Olivia Bowen was showered with praised after posing in sexy lingerie and not hiding her psoriasis.
The reality TV star, 27, shared the stunning snaps of her rocking the soft pink lacy set, with her psoriasis on display across her belly and legs.
The blonde beauty completed the look with a plaid shirt over her shoulders as she looked over shoulder with a smouldering look.
"Beautiful lingerie making me feel beautiful always. Thank you @bouxavenue ✨," she captioned the beautiful Instagram post.
"There is so much I could write in this caption about this photo, but instead I’m just going to say – love yourself in all aspects on your journey in life, we have good days, and we have character building days.
"Both are as important."
Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes red, itchy scaly patches, most commonly on the knees, elbows, trunk and scalp.
It's a common, chronic disease with no cure.
Many of her fans loved her honest post, calling her "an inspiration".
One Instagram user wrote: "True beauty comes from within and shines through to the exterior – a skin condition ain’t gonna dim your shine girl."
Another added: "You are beautiful inside and out!"
"For someone who has psoriasis and always very very self conscious of it! You posting it not hiding it away is really inspiring! ❤️❤️ looking amazing!"
Her sexy post comes days after Olivia revealed how she kept things spicy in the bedroom with her Love Island husband, Alex Bowen.
She opened up about how she keeps things exciting with her other half, who she met on the ITV2 show in 2016.
Asked for tips on boosting intimacy in lockdown, Olivia replied: "It's about being honest, and being honest with your relationship and your sex life.
"If you find it hard to say in person, text them. Sometimes, even if you are really close to your partner, it can be hard to tell your partner sexually what you want.
"If you’re not that confident, texting it [is easier]. We’ve sometimes done this, and we text from the other room.
"If you’re not that confident, just text the other saying would you like to do this."
Olivia made the saucy revelation with Alex, 28, while working with sexual wellness brand Lovehoney on its Mind Blowing Valentine’s campaign.
The couple said they've been using Lovehoney's sex toys to keep their spark alive in lockdown.
And they're also into reading erotic literature to get each other in the mood.
Alex said: "For me, it's about being spontaneous. You can get lingerie or try different toys – but don’t talk about it, just grab your partner and just do it.
"In the first lockdown, when everything was fully lockdown and pubs were shut, we would dress up with shirt and jeans, we would make dinner, and make it a proper date night, instead of sitting in pyjamas all day.
"I am the more romantic one out of the two of us."
