Transgender teenager Jazz Jennings has been revealed as one of the new faces of Clean & Clear’s new advertising campaign.

The ‘See The Real Me’ adverts aim to encourage people to share their own personal stories which promote natural beauty.

14-year-old Jazz recently published her first book for transgender children and their parents, and was named one of the 25 most influential teenagers of 2014 by TIME magazine.

In her campaign video, which can be viewed below, Jazz talks about her experiences, declaring that she is “just having fun being one of the girls”.

“I feel really honored to be part of The #seetherealme campaign. It’s really amazing, as it helps many teen girls who are struggling,” she told the Huffington Post.

“It helps them to find themselves and be true to who they are. I hope they can learn to be brave and not care what other people think about them, because if they just stay positive and spread love, then others will be true friends who will accept them no matter what.”

Orange is the New Black star Laverne Cox was among those to offer their congratulations.

The campaign comes just days after TLC announced that Jazz and her family will star in new documentary series All That Jazz.
