She wrote: "This is me age 6. I have the same button nose, chubby cheeks & monobrow that I do now (just now highlighter and contouring exists ha) I also have the same attitude in that life is measured by how many times I laugh a day and how much love I have in my heart. because that’s all that truly matters! Ladies, women, girls... despite what most media thrusts upon you ... we are more than an aesthetic shell. I like to stay positive & focus on my fellow females achievements... as woman we are more than our looks, weight, clothes, our partner!! Stay strong & let’s not let this 2018 social conformity of behaving a certain way bring us down!! In the words of little mixes jade “we can wear what we want & twerk if we want” #girlpower."

While Scarlett prefers a more natural look now, she has admitted in the past to being "addicted" to lip fillers. In a 2016 interview, she revealed: "I've had lip fillers about three times now - it's addictive! That's another self-conscious thing, too, but I won't go mental with it. When I used to smile, my top lip would disappear and it'd look like I didn't have one so I constantly had to draw my lips on, which was no good."
