Carlotta Bertotti’s story is one of courage and self-discovery. Like many of us, she spent years covering up a perceived flaw with makeup. But Carlotta’s journey took a unique turn when she decided to stop hiding and embrace her imperfections.
It all started with a birthmark called Nevus of Ota, a blue-gray patch across her face. While medically benign, this birthmark represented a struggle for self-acceptance for Carlotta. From the young age of eight, she used makeup to hide it, spending two hours each day in front of the mirror. But her challenges didn’t stop there.
At 12, Carlotta faced a benign tumor that left her face paralyzed and her health compromised. This battle for survival shattered her confidence. Waking up from a coma with a paralyzed face, she couldn’t help but see a “monster” in the mirror.
As a teenager, Carlotta grappled with insecurities that went beyond her appearance. She used makeup, contact lenses, and anything else to blend in temporarily. But this constant effort to fit in only brought disappointment, making her feel like an outsider who was unworthy of love and acceptance.
These insecurities spilled into her relationships. She found herself in a toxic dynamic with a much older partner, where possessiveness and betrayal filled their love. Desperate for validation, Carlotta endured it all, convinced that it was the only path to love. His constant criticism chipped away at her self-esteem, fueling a cycle of self-doubt.
Then, in 2018, everything changed. Carlotta made the brave decision to embrace her imperfections and share her story with the world. Since then, she has become a social media inspiration, captivating audiences with her authenticity and resilience. Her book, “Incancellabile,” stands as a testament to the power of self-love and acceptance.
Today, Carlotta is a beacon of hope for anyone facing their own insecurities. Her message is simple: everyone deserves love. There comes a moment when we realize we’ve obsessed over things that don’t truly matter. Carlotta’s story reminds us that true beauty lies in embracing our flaws and celebrating what makes us unique. In a world obsessed with unrealistic standards, her journey is a reminder that the power of self-love can transform our lives one imperfection at a time.
