How GK Barry completely transformed acne-prone skin using the snake shedding method
SHE has already emerged as one of the favorites to make I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! to win.
And as well as delighting fans with her hilarious reactions to the program’s admittedly gruesome trials, GK Barry also shows off her flawless skin by heading into the jungle makeup-free.

But the internet star hasn’t always had such clear skin, as she explained in a previous article video on her TikTok page.
GK – also known as Grace – decided to try Obagi’s skin care system to clear her hormonal spots after the antibiotics prescribed to her by doctors ‘stopped working’.
And she said that after just one week she “started to shed her skin like a snake.”
She showed off the dry skin around her mouth and on her chin peeling off, while she said the scars – which she had had for about two years – started to disappear as she progressed with the regimen.
“Since using the treatment, I haven’t had a new spot on my face in about a month,” she added.
She concluded by showing off her face without a filter, admitting, “This is the clearest skin I’ve ever had.”
GK explained that she used the Obagi foaming cleanser, hydrating moisturizer and pore therapy twice a day.
She also used the therapeutic lotion in the morning and the tretinoin cream in the evening
“Guys, this isn’t an advertisement, this really saved me some skin!” GK captioned the video.
The skincare system isn’t cheap: £132 for three of the main products.
However, the positive reviews continued on Obagi’s website, with one person writing: “I’ve been battling acne since I was a teenager, and I’m now 29.
“Nothing worked for me, then my dermatologist suggested these 3 products along with tretinoin and wow, my skin is healing.
“It’s been over a month now and I couldn’t feel happier.
“These saved my life and I feel more confident now.”
Likewise, GK seems more than confident in showing off her makeup-free skin in the jungle — even though she’s a fan of slapping on a heavy face of cosmetics for her many public appearances in real life.
Famously, I’m a Celebrity’s Georgia Toffolo – who eventually won the show in 2017 – was allowed to take foundation into the jungle with her because she was so self-conscious about her spots.
Who is GK Barry?
GK Barry amassed more than a million followers on TikTok in just over a year during the first UK lockdown of 2020.
Grace Keeling, better known as GK Barry, is a 25-year-old social media influencer.
She rose to fame during the first Covid-19 lockdown in 2020, creating a TikTok account and posting short vlogs showing her daily life.
Although she originally planned to remain low-key, she gained a large following in no time.
By August 2020, just five months after starting her account, she had already gained 100,000 followers and reached over a million in just over a year.
She now has over 4.5 million followers on her social media platforms.
After obtaining a degree in Film Studies from Nottingham Trent University, Grace continued her education with a Masters in Digital Marketing.
While at Nottingham Trent, she worked on the set of the BBC series Doctors and the Netflix film Hood, as well as creating content for ShawMind – a charity dedicated to promoting mental health awareness.
Grace is known for her podcast, called The Saving Grace Podcast.
During the show she invites celebrities and influencers for a conversation about life and the latest trends, but also about embarrassing stories from their past.
In May 2024, Grace said she was dating a female footballer.
Then it emerged in June that the football player in question plays for England.
The Sun revealed Grace and Charlton Athletic striker Ella Rutherford, 24, are getting serious – they have met each other’s families and holidayed together.
A source exclusively told The Sun: “GK has had Ella for a while but they are very official now.
“They grew even closer during a holiday in Benidorm and GK met her whole family.
“She is very happy and they have so much fun together.”
However, in her exit interview, Toff said that she went out of her way not to use the makeup because she wanted to do her best to “normalize” bad skin.
“When I was there, my skin really flared up and it was really aggressive acne,” she said.
“There was a part of me that kept thinking, ‘I really want my concealer.’
“To be completely honest, I’m not quite myself when I don’t have my war paint on.
“But I’ve been suffering from it for fifteen years now and it was very important to me that I didn’t hide behind my concealer.”
