Holding her hands in a heart shape, she captioned the snap: 'So V-day is coming up, but plot twist let's celebrate U-day too!

'I am going to celebrate the love I have for not just my body but also my heart and share that with all my loved ones. And tell body parts that I didn't used to love how I've fallen in love with them. 

Adding: 'I cannot believe I used to punish my body daily and tell myself I wasn't good enough. As soon as I stopped comparing myself to others and seeing my body as my home and being grateful for all that it allows me to do not just what it looks like I really fell in love with it. 

'And if you aren't there that's ok, self-love is not quick or easy, it's perfect or look one certain way. I just hope you will decided to celebrate U because U deserve it. ILY all SM #everyBODYisbeautiful (unretouched pic)'.

Her latest figure-flaunting display comes after she shared an unedited, natural snapshot of her stomach.

The runway star can be seen modelling a lilac bralet with a diamond shaped cut-out and a pair of patterned knickers. 

Gorgeous: Iskra continued her mission to prove that the female form comes in all shapes and sizes with her latest Instagram post, encouraging other women to embrace their curves 

On the left hand side of the image, Iskra is relaxed and leaning forward, her stomach naturally rounded, while on the right she is posing and sucking it in.

The blonde beauty commented: 'Your fat rolls are beautiful. I made a video about them (link in my bio) And the reason we have been lead to believe they aren't is because we don't see them in the media unless someone's being shamed for weight gain or ridiculed for their body.

'This is NOT the truth and not OK. Having rolls of skin / fat that are soft / squidgy or big / small does not define your beauty. I wanted to show you how my body looks when I'm relaxed and when I'm posing right next to each other so you can see how easy it is to manipulate how a body looks. (I filmed myself doing this for you on my YouTube.

'As a model in the industry 13years I've seen nearly all the pics chosen of me for lingerie & swimwear shoots are the ones where my stomach looks flattest.

She enthused: 'Having rolls of skin / fat that are soft / squidgy or big / small does not define your beauty'

Which for a long time lead me to believe that's how I should look.

'Because even if I did happen to have a few shots where I'm in a position you can see back fat or rolls someone had decided it's more "beautiful" "aspirational" or will inspire more customers to buy the product if those so called "flaws" don't exist.'

Iskra went on to praise Aerie lingerie's 'REAL' campaign, which aims to encourage body positivity.

The blonde beauty was the poster girl for the innovate Photoshop-free campaign in 2014, which helped boost sales for American Eagle-owned Aerie.

She continuted: 'Things are changing I remember the first time I saw curvier models in editorials with their rolls and back fat and I remember the first time I shot with @aerie and they wanted me to not pose but be real and just myself.

Looking good: Iskra certainly practiced what she preached in her latest Instagram video last week, showcasing her amazing curves in all their glory

'Then when I saw my first campaign with them and I could see my unretouched body - pics with rolls / back fat I'm not gonna lie I was shocked.

'That quickly turned into joy because they made me feel good enough and knew that those "flaws" didn't mean I wasn't beautiful in fact showing that their models didn't have to be "flawless" was incredibly empowering.' 

Last week, the plus-sized model, who is a healthy size 14, shared a video of herself pouting in the mirror, showcasing her curves in all their glory. 

Hanging out behind the scenes on set, Iskra struts up to the mirror, turning around to reveal her peachy posterior.

The British beauty models a pair of high-waisted black pants, highlighting her hourglass shape.

The underwear is teamed with a sports luxe crop top featuring a bright orange trim and semi-sheer sleeves.

Iskra was given old school Hollywood hair and make-up look for the shoot, wearing her locks in big bouncy curls and a slick of shimmery pink gloss highlighting her lips.

The stunning star is a strong advocate for body confidence and self-empowerment and has been sharing her journey towards accepting her curves with her fans on YouTube.

A few days ago, she shared an inspiring mission about why more importance should be given to health and fitness rather than focusing on dress size.

She shared: 'Health isn't one size or look. It's not just being able to lift the most or run the longest.

'Health starts from within, it's how we nourish our selves mentally & physically. It's how we look after ourselves mind, body and soul.

'That is why I practise self-care, and why my life's mission is to get mental, physical & emotional education into the schooling system.'
