In an Instagram post, the actress reveals a longtime battle with a gynaecological condition, endometriosis, which can cause skin problems. 

Ridley describes her personal struggle with the condition, writing that it has "left my confidence in tatters. I hate wearing make up but I currently don't want to leave the house without it." 

However, in true Daisy Ridley-fashion, she's confronting her condition with optimism. Through a strict dietary regime and help from a dermatologist, she assures her fans that "PROGRESS IS BEING MADE!"

The British-born actress encourages others not to "worry about sounding like a hypochondriac" and to seek help for their ailments rather than suffering in silence. 

We appreciate a celebrity who uses their platform to send a positive message. Daisy, you keep doing you!
