The gymnast, who has been open in the past about being a victim of body shaming, said she believes many young women are affected by constant critiques of their physical appearance.

\"I don't have to look very far to see how common this judgement has become,\" she wrote. \"I'm tired of everything in life being turned into competition, so I am standing up for myself and for everyone else that has gone through the same.\"

With that declaration, she added that she is \"done competing VS. beauty standards and the toxic culture of trolling when others feel as though their expectations are not met.\"

\"Nobody should tell you or I what beauty should or should not look like,\" she finished her post.

The #NOCOMPETITION campaign also stars athletes like Liu Xiang, Kasumi Ishikawa, Ayaka Takahashi and Misaki Matsutomo among others.

Actress Chloe Grace Moretz expressed her support for the message behind the campaign and said she was able to relate.

\"This is incredible @Simone_Biles no one should dictate what beauty is to any of us,\" she wrote in a tweet.

Be true to who you are and want to be :) because Beauty is #NOCOMPETITION @SKII #SKIIPartner https://t.co/VP9rlR5bwa

\"Having grown up in this industry my whole life I’ve had to deal with unfair beauty standards placed on me, and over the years it’s really taken a toll mentally,\" Moretz added. \"This is so powerful.\"
