Cameron Diaz The "Charlie's Angels" and "Something About Mary" star might look positively flawless when she's on the red carpet -- but she's no stranger to acne -- like really, really bad acne. In an except from her 2014 book "The Body Book: The Law of Hunger, the Science of Strength, and Other Ways to Love Your Body", published in Seventeen, Diaz outlined how this all affected her.

"You might think my life is always totally glam, but I used to have horrible acne -- deep, boiling pimples -- the kind that hurts so badly, I didn't want to leave my house," wrote Diaz. "My friends said they didn't notice, but I'd say, 'It's the only thing anyone can see!'" Diaz went on to say that no amount of foundation and concealer could mask her bumps well enough.

Luckily, Diaz explained that she believed her diet -- which consisted of burritos and cheeseburgers at the time -- was partially to blame for her skin. "Once I cut out the junk, I saw such a major difference that I felt like an idiot," she wrote. "It not only cleared up my acne, but it also gave me this huge amount of energy."
