LONDON -- Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley took to Instagram on Monday evening to share a message about the dangers of social media.

Ridley, who has previously spoken out against a body-shamer who circulated a meme about her, shared a photo with the words, "I woke up like this #nofilter #nomakeup" branded across it -- but the caption she included below told a different story.

"3 of these statements aren't true," wrote Ridley. "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."

Keep being awesome, Daisy.
