Courteney Cox is getting quirky with her “useless” selfies.
The Friends star, 61, shared a video montage to social media Thursday, July 10, showing a range of candid and unfiltered facial expressions and skin conditions.
“Useless selfies” was written over her Instagram video, which began with the fresh faced actress looking blankly at a camera while sitting outside one evening snuggled in a jacket.
“Allergeic reaction,” Cox wrote atop one selfie. “Another allergic reaction,” she wrote over the next. Each one showed her face becoming more and more red.
Poking fun at her worsening condition, Cox wrote, “Half-human, half-Vulcan?” over the next image, which was a close-up of one side of her face as she looked away from the camera.
“Not sure,” she admitted on another selfie before showing a photo of herself getting her hair done with a product applied to her roots. Unfortunately, Cox’s beauty regimen was interrupted by “another allergic reaction” and another red face.
“Oh s— is this what I look like?” she asked on the next picture as the photos continued to roll in. The Scream star set the video to Yungblud’s “Lovesick Lullaby,” admitting in her caption, “can’t get this song out of my head.”
“THE courteney cox,” the 27-year-old English singer-songwriter commented on her post.

She took a quick break from the flare ups and posted herself making a silly face, poking out her tongue. “Not too sure about this one,” was the text over her fun photo.
Other images showed a close up of a pimple surrounded by redness on her cheek, as well as the Cougar Town actress using white strips for her teeth. She also showed herself in bed sick.
“Enough with the allergic reactions,” Cox wrote, before adding a photo of herself smiling at the camera while posing next to a bouquet of fresh flowers. “That’s all,” she concluded.

Fans and friends alike praised the movie star for her down-to-earth content.
“In a world obsessed with filters and fake perfection, Monica just reminded us that being real is the real flex,” one person wrote, referring to her role as Monica Geller on Friends for 10 seasons, beginning in 1994.
Irish-American actress Maeve Quinlan, who previously dated Cox’s late Friends costar Matthew Perry, added, “Even when hilariously goofy, you’re gorgeous!”
