If there’s one thing we can always count on Jenna Dewan Tatum for, it’s how real she is. Even if her life—and her dancing, and her hair, and her husband—seem totally unreal at times. (We mean, have you seen her Pony video? Come on.) The woman is nothing but her fun-loving self.

Among our long list of jealousies includes any time she posts a stripped-down photo of herself on social media. With skin like hers, how couldn’t you hate double-tap just a tiiiiny bit? Which brings us to her latest Instagram. She posted a photo of herself without her usual smoky eye and highlighted skin—and without a filter.

This isn’t totally new for JDT. Channing once posted the most gorgeous no-makeup photos of her that are needless to say, amazing. And she’s been known to take some pretty stunning first-thing-the-morning photos of herself. But today she opened up about something that really puts the work behind her skin care routine into perspective.

In her caption she wrote, “Sooo no reason selfie. But I do want to say I am shocked that I am able to go mostly makeup free now with no filters or retouching etc. Those who have had melasma know it’s hard to manage and big thanks to @simonourianmd1 and his magical coolaser!!”

Now, she does say that she’s “mostly makeup free” in this pic, but it’s clear her skin looks healthy and radiant. She thanks Dr. Simon Ourian (a name you probably know if you keep up with the Kardashians) and the Coolaser for helping her with her melasma. It’s a skin condition that women often develop during or after pregnancy, or even if they’re over-exposed to the sun. It appears on your face in dark patches and requires plenty of protection with sunscreen.

Melasma affects plenty of women, and as Dewan Tatum says in her post, it’s hard to deal with. While many of us can’t afford to see a celebrity dermatologist to get it treated, it’s nice to see Dewan Tatum getting real about her skin issues. If at the very least to know what celebrities do to get that kind of glow.
