In both images, Gilian, 26, wears a skimpy cutout swimsuit and stands with her back facing the camera. The image on the left appears airbrushed, while the one on the right looks natural — and it all comes down to lighting.

“Before we used to avoid the sun when taking 📷  cause it tends to accentuate cellulite and stretch marks,” the Mexico-based sisters explained in their caption. “But now we embrace our bodies in every light!!! No more hiding and avoiding something that is natural AF.” 

Gilian and Eileen also encouraged women to “love your body and night!!!”

The vegan personal trainers boast more than 66,000 followers on Instagram. In an April interview on TwinningStore.com, Gilian revealed that “Eileen was always called the bad/fun twin” and she was the “good/boring” one. “This separated us, boxed us and we kinda lived up to the labels,” she noted. “Thankfully we found balance and we enjoy doing everything together again!”
