AN Irish beauty queen has turned social media on its head by exposing the truth about dangerous filters and Instagram personas to young people.
Reigning Miss Dublin, Ciara Whelan, was inspired by influencer and model Rozanna Purcell to add a taste of reality to her own Instagram but refuses to be called brave for sharing her candid snaps.

Ciara, 23, says filters, impossible standards and social media pressures have young Irish girls picking themselves apart.
Sick of seeing unrealistic pictures, she added a dose of reality to her Instagram feed by sharing snaps of herself without make-up, in tears in bed and exposing “damaging” filters.
