Daisy Ridley's post about #NoMakeup selfies sends strong message about body shamingLondon, Apr 20(AZINS) Star Wars: The Force Awakens star Daisy Ridley took to social media to share her thoughts on the trend of 'no makeup selfie'.

The actress feels social media can be interesting yet daunting as people only share some of the most carefully chosen moments from their lives.

"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," she wrote on her Instagram account.

"My skin isn't great so I don't post no makeup 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."

Daisy, 24, became a rising star with her role of Rey in The Force Awakens movie. She is set to reprise her role in the in Star Wars Episode VIII, directed by Rian Johnson. The movie is currently filming.

The actress said she tries to strike a balance in everything.

"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) (sic). Just thought I'd say."
