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...

ALMOST 2 MILLION FOLLOWERS WHAT?! I'm currently sat writing an essay covered in spot cream drinking mint tea but no one wants to see that so instead here's me looking all fancy pants at the post Oscars Vanity Fair pardeeeee! ðŸ™ˆðŸ™ˆðŸ™ˆðŸ'»ðŸ'»ðŸ'»ðŸ'ƒðŸÂÂÂ»ðŸ'ƒðŸÂÂÂ»ðŸ'ƒðŸÂÂÂ»

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