Ashley Benson, 23, who has also starred in Spring Breakers alongside Vanessa Hudgens, posted a message on her Twitter page expressing her dismay at the poster she’s seen.

‘Saw this floating around…hope it’s not the poster. Our faces in this were from 4 years ago…and we all look ridiculous.’

She added: ‘Way too much photo shop. We all have flaws. No one looks like this. It’s not attractive.’

The poster in question. It's unclear if it is an official poster for the series.

Indeed the poster, which appears to be advertising the fourth season of the show, looks heavily edited, with Ashley’s co-stars Lucy Hale, Troian Bellisario and Shay Mitchell all sporting impossibly flawless complexions and perfect make up.

And the issue is obviously one close to the actresses heart. In a further message on the site, Ashley urged fans to be comfortable in themselves and recognize that they’re all beautiful.

‘You are perfect the way you are’ she wrote.

The star has received wide-spread support from her fans on Instagram and Twitter, with one user posting: ‘Respect to @AshBenzo for her last Instagram post. Too much Photoshop sets unrealistic expectations for young girls.’
