Daisy Ridley posts refreshing spot-cream-riddled selfie

| May 10, 2016

Daisy Ridley is a bit of a gem. When she's not uploading videos of her nailing new Jedi moves, she's posting pics highlighting the ridiculousness of social media and how no one wakes up like this...

3 of these statements aren't true... Social media is great but also a bit scary cause what people post is the most filtered, most carefully chosen and cleverly edited moments of their lives. And self esteem is a huge issue for people around the world. My skin isn't great so I don't post no make up selfies, much as I'd like to; I have a trainer urging me on in workouts and don't include all the times I say 'I can't do it' and I don't smile all the time but I like to share the pictures where I am. But I actually do love myself, I try to think good thoughts always and am surrounded by the most wonderful people, so I'm keeping it balanced (like the Force, obvs). Just thought I'd say :)

To celebrate garnering 2 million followers on Instagram, she posted the below 'fancy' photo of herself as she wasn't too sure her followers would be into the reality of the situation - which was that she was sitting at home, riddled in spot cream...

Then, thankfully, she had a change of heart - and posted one of her quaffing mint tea.
