Highlights

• Sydney Sweeney opened up about her struggle with acne and imperfect skin.
• Despite her success, Sweeney continues to battle with acne and is particular about the products she uses.
• Sweeney also discussed her experience with anxiety.

Sydney Sweeney has been a huge force for several years now and she’s only becoming more and more successful. She has achieved so much in a short time, from getting cast in countless projects to making money from beauty, brand, and bikini deals. In fact, she has become so beloved that fans wonder if Sweeney’s fame is why they are still waiting for Euphoria season 3.

Sydney Sweeney’s latest movie Anyone But You has proven that she can be a romantic lead as well as an angsty teenager. Of course, the star always gives people something to talk about, like her flirtatious behavior with co-star Glen Powell. But even though Sydney Sweeney is a huge celebrity, she never stops being vulnerable, and she has shared two things about her life that aren’t flawless.

Sydney Sweeney Has Talked About Struggling With Acne And Imperfect Skin

While some people, whether they are famous or not, might have trouble talking about having acne, Sydney Sweeney has never been ashamed or embarrassed to share the toughest parts of her life. In 2022, the actress discussed acne in an interview with Coveteur.com and explained that she has had it for years.

If Sweeney hadn’t talked about not having flawless skin, fans would never know. When watching her movies and TV shows, she always looks perfect, but she has been honest about how difficult her life can be at times.

Sweeney told Coveteur.com:

“I started getting acne when I was really young so my relationship to beauty was pretty antagonistic growing up. My skin and body were changing so much and there were so many hormonal imbalances going on. It was an ongoing battle to find the right products that worked for me.”

Sweeney added, “Because I struggled with acne for so long, I always wanted to make sure that if I was a partner with a beauty brand it was with one whose products I actually used.”

Even now, when Sweeney has so many impressive career achievements under her belt, acne is still something that she thinks about.

Sydney Sweeney’s Best Roles:

• Reality Winner in Reality (2023)
• Alice in Sharp Objects (2018)
• Barbie (voice) in Robot Chicken (2021-2022)
• Eden Spencer in The Handmaid’s Tale (2018)
• Olivia Mossbacher in The White Lotus (2021)
• Cassie Howard in Euphoria (2019-now)
• Bea in Anyone But You (2023)

In a 2023 interview with Glamour UK, Sweeney talked about acne in more detail and explained that she takes washing her face seriously and that she is prone to picking at the pimples that show up on her face.

She said:

“one of those bad relationships that like kept coming back. They would just keep calling and keep calling and not hang up. I thought that magically for whatever reason, when I went to college, it was gonna disappear and I was gonna be a grown up and grown ups don’t get acne. But I was very wrong and I still battle with it today.”

Sweeney also explained that she is careful about using products since she has had such a hard time with her face. Since she has worked with several brands including Laneige, it’s nice to know that she wants to sponsor products that she genuinely loves.

Sydney Sweeney Has Struggled With Anxiety

In 2022, Sydney Sweeney talked about having anxiety in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. She said, “I still can’t get my mind to shut up, and I don’t sleep” and explained that she had been working really hard, which led to a tough time with her mental health.

However, while Sweeney has been vulnerable about having anxiety, she doesn’t suffer from frequent anxiety attacks. In 2023, she was on the cover of Women’s Health and explained that when she said that she had a panic attack one time, people assumed that she had panic attacks regularly.

Sweeney told Women’s Health that she likes to hike and go outside with Tank, her adorable dog, because it helps her feel calmer during times of anxiety. It’s really nice to hear such a big celebrity discuss a topic like this. She said, “Whenever it feels like the world’s so loud, and there’s so much going on, and I’m trying to balance it all—sometimes, it can feel overwhelming.”

The actress has also shared that she has social anxiety and that she has had trouble with stage fright. In an interview with Tmwr Magazine, she explained:

“I have terrible stage fright. I, as Sydney Sweeney, am more nervous to be in front of a crowd, than I am as a character. I am beyond nervous to be myself in front of people. If I was a character in front of people, I’m the most confident I could possibly be. I think I have to figure out how to find that confidence in myself.”

It’s easy to watch Sweeney play cool girls like Cassie Howard on Euphoria and assume that her life is amazing off-camera. While she does have a happy personal life, including what seems to be a great relationship with her fiance Jonathan Davino, she is definitely no stranger to tough moments.

As Sydney Sweeney gets older and becomes even more successful in her acting career, she will likely continue to be vulnerable about her mental health and her feelings about having acne. Her honesty is what makes her stand out and it’s one reason why she’s one of the most relatable stars of her generation.
