A social media star wants to change public perception about naturism.

Jessa, who runs popular Instagram account The Nude Blogger, insists nudity doesn’t have to be sexual.

On her page, she reminds followers that the naked body is a completely natural thing.

She also hopes that stripping off will inspire others to feel more body positive.

Jessa lives in New South Wales, Australia.

She has been a nudist for three years and regularly enjoys peeling off her clothes at the beach or in the jungle.

To give others an insight into her love for naturism, she often snaps pictures during these trips.

The images have proven very popular on Instagram, where the blogger has attracted more than 87,000 followers.

She hopes to use this influence to break the taboo about nudity.

By presenting a stripped back version of herself, the Nude Blogger wants others to realise they are beautiful without any filters or material objects.

Jessa told Daily Star Online: “Nudism has played such an important role in my body-positive journey as being an active participant in the lifestyle means that you’re privy to all different body shapes, sizes, colours and ages.

“I think it’s crucial to be surrounded by people that have this healthy perception of their own body.

These days, as more of us become more involved with social media, we are constantly bombarded and presented with a ‘filtered’ reality – which isn’t real at all!

“There’s so much inauthenticity out there and it’s refreshing to be around like-minded people that are willing to bare it all without all the layers and labels.”

Jessa also urges her followers to remember that being naked doesn’t have to be a sexual experience.

She added: “When we’re naked, it helps us to embrace our vulnerability, which I believe is so important to self-acceptance.

“Nudity seems to have lost its innocence and purity in today’s social media age.

“The human body has been overly sexualised.

“Nudism helps us to remember how natural the naked body is."

When she’s not enjoying the freedom of ditching her clothes, the blogger works as a yoga teacher.

Her spiritual job requires you to connect with your body, which is probably why she feels so comfortable about nudity.

Speaking about her work, Jessa said: “I run mixed naked yoga classes with men and women and also run naked yoga workshops for women only with the aim of normalising nudity and promoting self-acceptance.

“I’ve been a nudist for over three years and believe that the lifestyle is a great way to improve your own sense of body image…

“Self-love and being kind to yourself are key.

“This has been a part of my work throughout my naked yoga classes and workshops.”
