Natalia Dyer's Health: The Actress Opened Up about Skincare and Going Back to Therapy

Natalia Dyer has opened up about caring for her health, including going back to therapy since finding fame as an actress. The "Stranger Things" star also revealed she suffered from many illnesses, including pneumonia, when she was younger.

Natalia Dyer has become a fan-favorite for her role as Nancy Wheeler in "Stranger Things." However, the blue-eyed actress with flawless skin has also received attention and praise for her beauty.

While the "Stranger Things" star has prioritized her mental health since becoming famous by going back to therapy — which has allowed her to set much-needed boundaries since her physical health suffered at one point in her life.

Natalia Dyer on past Health Struggles and Caring for Her Skin

During an interview, Dyer revealed she was often sick as a child and missed months of school due to asthma and other illnesses. Matters were so bad that Dyer would contract pneumonia every year without fail.

"I guess my immune system was just terrible," she revealed. In 2022, the actress was one of the many beautiful and famous faces to appear on Vogue's Beauty Secrets, and while she broke down her routine for her glowing skin, Dyer revealed in addition to being sick, she also had acne-prone skin in her younger years. She said:

"I have always had pretty finicky, sensitive skin. I broke out a lot when I was a teenager."

Fans Praised Natalia Dyer for Her Beauty

Dyer has since blossomed into a beautiful young woman, and in 2019, a social media user took to Twitter to praise Dyer's skin and tweeted "It has come to my attention that Charlie Heaton and Natalia Dyer are the only couple. ever. no one can beat them and no one can do it like them. stan charlie heaton and natalia dyer for clear skin."

Another person shared the same sentiment, typing, "What did people do 7 months ago before Natalia Dyer's guide to sensitive skin care with Vogue came out. how did they cope." Another fan shared, "stan Natalia Dyer for clear skin."

In an attempt to protect her mental health, Dyer has steered clear of social media.

In June 2019, Dyer took to Instagram — where she had amassed over 8 million followers at the time of publication — to share her Elle magazine cover, and in the comments section, a fan gushed in part, "U look like a painting more than a real person!! U r SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL MANNNNNNNN!"

The following month, Dyer posted a close-up of herself, showcasing her stunning eyes, and another user commented, "You are so beautiful. You remind me a lot of my wife when we were younger. All the best in your career. I look forward to seeing you more."

Natalia Dyer on Taking Care of Her Mental Health

Although Dyer has been acting for many years, she shot to fame for her role in "Stranger Things," co-starring Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, and Charlie Heaton. However, the actress revealed the journey has not been without its downsides.

During an interview, Dyer admitted that one of her greatest challenges as an actress has been letting go of her fear of looking "silly" and getting out of her head. In an attempt to protect her mental health, Dyer has also steered clear of social media. She added:

"I went back to therapy during the pandemic which was one of the best decisions I think I've ever made for myself. I'm such an advocate. I think it's such a nice space to give yourself."

Dyer added that therapy helped her navigate the entertainment industry as an introvert and handle the visibility that came with having a lead role in such a successful show by putting up boundaries and looking inward.
