She is usually seen looking confident while strutting down red carpets at numerous events.

Now Anna Heinrich has opened up about her past body image demons as she poses naked on the latest cover of Woman's Health magazine.

While flaunting her bare sun-kissed skin, the 29-year-old admitted she hasn't always felt confident in her own skin and use to dislike certain parts of her body.

'There have been times in my life when I haven’t felt confident, times when I’ve been like, "I don’t like that part of my body",' the former Bachelor star revealed.

Anna also explained she decided to pose nude for the first time to promote healthy body image and inspire others to love themselves.

'Every year that I get older I become more confident, I love myself more, I love my body more, and I just hope that everyone can kind of get to that stage,' she said. 

Confidence: While flaunting her bare skin, she admitted: 'There have been times when I haven’t felt confident, times when I’ve been like, "I don’t like that part of my body"'

'For me it’s not about size, it’s more about whether or not I feel healthy inside.'

For the magazine cover shoot, Anna strategically lifts her knees to cover her assets.

As she wrapped her arms around her long legs, Anna's long blonde hair fell freely down her back as she wore them out with a natural wave.

She also flaunted her natural beauty through minimal makeup, which included a light brush of black mascara.

In another frame, Anna turned her slender figure to the side and angled her head over her shoulder to glare down the lens of the camera.

She stretched out her right leg while bending her opposite high, angling it to cover her cleavage.

Anna rested her right arm over her shoulder while she posed happily with a shiny white smile.
