The Australian bikini designer recently called out trolls for labelling her as "cringe" for discussing her struggles.
Now she's been open about her body once again, although this time she's telling others to "reprogram your brain".
Her caption read: "See your 'imperfection' as your SPARKLE.
"Yesterday I had a moment of looking in the mirror and saying 'Yuk' – out loud."
She told followers her skin is covered in pityriasis which leaves her feeling "one of two ways".
Pityriasis is a common skin condition which causes a temporary rash of raised red scaly patches on the body.
Karina added: "1. SPARKLY. I look different! I stand out! I'm limited edition! I'm eye catching!
"I wear my superpower! I'm inspiring!
"2. DULL. I look dirty. I'm itchy. I look gross. Having good and bad days is a part of the human experience.
"However it's up to you to turn these dull moments into opportunities to SPARKLE.
"Everyone has physical things they don't like about themselves. But why?"

Karina continued to tell followers that she's been "brainwashed" her entire life into seeing only smooth airbrushed skin.
The model wrote: "Never once did I see a model, actor or public figure with a skin condition.
"Therefore… I was the 'FrEaK'. And people LOVED commenting on how different my skin looked.
"Now even in moments of weakness I remind myself why I feel the way I feel. And can identify that it's not my fault.
"But now, with the love and support from you and power of social media I can help be the change I want to see!
"So here we are! I'M SPOTTY AND ITCHY! And NO I'M NOT CONTAGIOUS!"
The bikini model concluded the post by saying she's "beautiful, fun, inspired, caring and positive".
"My skin doesn't define me, it's just a part of me," Karina also wrote.

Since she shared the post, Karina also accompanied it with four shots of her rocking a green bikini.
She put her gorgeous body on display as she posed with pride – and we really love to see it.
Fans rushed to comment on the post, as one said: "Beautiful photos of a beautiful lady."
Another added: "I love that you love you! F*** all your haters."
A third social media fan commented: "Gorgeous bikini on a truly incredible woman."
And a fourth follower chimed in: "You're the universe's most vapid person."
