She's just a girl in a #nofilter world.
Daisy Ridley is keeping it real with fans in an inspiring new Instagram post that's all about self-love.
Ridley, 24, Instagrammed a glam selfie from her Snapchat that was clearly heavily filtered, overlaid with the caption, "I woke up like this #nofilter #nomakeup."
The Star Wars: The Force Awakens actress then wrote an empowering message about self-confidence and selfies. "[All] 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," she began on Monday, April 18. "And self esteem is a huge issue for people around the world."

Ridley even revealed the types of things she too struggles with — including blemishes and working out (she's just like Us!). "My skin isn't great so I don't post no makeup selfies, much as I'd like to," she explained. "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."
However, her self-awareness doesn't mean she lacks confidence. "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)," she said. "Just thought I'd say :)"
What do you think of Daisy's powerful post?
