Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman is going raw and real to make the habit of only posting "the best moments" history. The 26-year-old former athlete and Aerie collaborator, fresh from dropping her OFFLINE collection with the clothing retailer, today updated for her 2.1 million Instagram followers with a little something different. Aly was out to get a hashtag going, and behind it was the concept that Insta-perfect might not be doing anybody any favors. The post even came with proceeds going to charity. Check it out below.

Scroll for the post. Aly, who tends to come makeup-free, fuss-free, and is far more into her seedling gardening and dog cuddles than swanning around in bikinis, had stuck to her trademark streak. The 2016 Olympics face, posting home selfies with blue-eyed dog Mylo, was looking gorgeous with little more than a simple scoop-neck white top and dark pants with her tousled long hair, smiling into the camera, and even going blurry in a swipe to the right.

The caption followed suit.

Keep scrolling for the snaps. Aly, who has already helped fight homelessness with her Amazon partnership, took to her caption telling fans:

"Sometimes it can be tempting to only post our best photos or show the best moments in our lives. I’m joining @Aerie for the #AerieREAL Reveal challenge ? For every Instagram post that shows your REAL authentic self and tags #AerieREAL, @Aerie will donate $1 (up to $100K) to @NEDA #AeriePartner ???."

The National Eating Disorders Association was then mentioned in stories as Aly stunned in overalls. See more photos after the snaps.

Aly's collab with Aerie, bringing animal inspiration and gorgeous sleek-print spandex items, is already giving it back. Last month, the star announced her collection, telling fans:

"This is our third collaboration together that benefits @d2lorg , a non-profit committed to empowering & educating adults to help prevent child sexual abuse, with 15% of all sales from the collection (up to $60K) being donated to D2L."

Raisman quickly gained comments today – "You’re authentic self is always the most beautiful," one fan wrote. See her gorgeous milk shot below!

Aly is popular with the brands. The Club Pilates face this year also made headlines for fronting plant-based and high-protein drink Silk Milk, with a stunning and once again fuss-free kitchen selfie seeing the star promote the beverage.

"I’m extremely excited to partner up with @Silk for another year to launch Silk ULTRA-- It’s packed with 20g of complete plant-based protein which helps me to recover after workouts and ensure I’m getting enough protein throughout the day," she wrote.
