Kate Ferdinand has shared a candid make-up free photo in which her facial pigmentation can be seen.

Beneath the bare-faced photograph, Kate, 30, spoke truthfully about ‘trying my best to love myself as I am’ and shared: ‘As soon as the sun comes out my face looks like a patchwork.’

The wife off star footballer Rio Ferdinand wrote in full: ‘PIGMENTATION. ”Kate what’s the dark thing above your lip?”
‘Me without makeup. For the last few years even with SPF 50 & a hat, as soon as the sun comes out my face looks like a patchwork.
‘I always feel so insecure about it & it really does get me down, I try to cover it at all costs.’
The doting mother added: ‘For much of my life I’ve felt like I have to try my best to be perfect, I’m fed up of having crazy unrealistic expectations all of the time.’

She concluded: ‘Although I make it hard for myself sometimes I’m trying my best to love myself as I am.’
Earlier this year, Kate revealed in an interview with The Sun that she suffers from melasma, a patchy skin pigmentation.
Speaking to the paper in March, Kate was asked what her ‘beauty splurges’ were, to which she replied: ‘All my skincare products are expensive, but I have suffered from melasma [patchy pigmentation] so I really do take care of my skin.’
The British Skin Foundation explains melasma as ‘a common skin condition of adults in which brown or greyish patches of pigmentation (colour) develop, usually on the face.’
Kate wrote: ‘Me without makeup. For the last few years even with SPF 50 & a hat, as soon as the sun comes out my face looks like a patchwork’
The description continues: ‘It is more common in women, particularly during pregnancy (when up to 50% of women may be affected). Sometimes men may also be affected. Melasma is more common in people of colour and those who tan very quickly but can occur to anyone.’
The charity’s information page concludes: ‘Melasma usually becomes more noticeable in the summer and improves during the winter months.
‘It is not an infection; therefore, it is not contagious, and it is not due to an allergy. It is not cancerous and will not develop into skin cancer.’
Kate’s honest post comes after she slipped into a very busty black bikini while enjoying time on a boat on a sun soaked family getaway on Sunday.
Kate looked every inch the beach beauty by donning a straw fedora and oversized black sunglasses, before cuddling up to her husband Rio, 42, on the boat.
Kate and Rio share eight-month-old son Cree and she is also close to his three other children; Lorenz, 14, Tate, 12, and Tia, 10.
