More photos in the post showed the actress suffering from a number of allergic reactions. 

She took one picture while standing underneath a bright light with her glasses propped up on her head while another was taken as she seemingly got her hair done. 

Cox continued to show off her make-up free look when she was sick and ‘feeling sorry for myself.’ 

The Scream actress also made a funny face towards the camera and playfully penned, ‘Not too sure about this one.’ 

A closeup selfie was taken as the star sported a layer of mascara to her long lashes and joked, ‘Oh s*** is this what I look like?’ 

Along with allergies, Courteney was also honest about another skin concern: acne – and uploaded a picture as she dealt with a pimple on her cheek. 

The star took a snap of her side profile and added the text, ‘Half-human, half-Vulcan?’ 

While sitting on a couch, Cox showed off her red face amidst another reaction and wrote, ‘Enough with the allergic reactions.’

YUNGBLUD also responded to the video and the actress’s mention by sharing, ‘THE courteney cox.’ 

Last month in June, Courteney rung in her 61st birthday – and she previously opened up about aging and using facial fillers. 

‘Thinking I was getting older when I was really young, that’s just a bummer, a waste of time,’ she said about getting fillers as she grew older during an episode of the Gloss Angeles podcast in 2023. 

‘It’s a domino effect, it’s like you don’t realize that you look a little off, so then you keep doing more cause you look normal to yourself.’ 

Cox added, ‘You look in the mirror and go, “Oh, that looks good,” you think, and you don’t realize what it looks like to the outside person and just doing too many fillers and having to have them removed. 

‘Which thank God they are removable, I think I messed up a lot and now luckily I can, I was able to reverse most of that, now I’m actually just older.’ 

Also last month, Courteney had the chance to celebrate her daughter Coco’s 21st birthday. 

She shares Coco with ex-husband David Arquette – whom she was married to from 1999 until their divorce was finalized in 2013.

The star jumped to Instagram to pay tribute to her daughter and typed out, ‘From this to this. 21 years of everything. My heart barely fits inside my chest for the amount of love I have for you. 

‘Keep it coming Co to the Lo. I’m so happy I’m your Bourt Lemon. Happy birthday. I love you so much ♥️♥️♥️.’ 

Her daughter jumped to the comment section to respond with, ‘I love you so so much my momma.’ 

Cox has since been in a long-term relationship with Snow Patrol band member Johnny McDaid beginning in 2013. The pair ended their engagement in 2019 but have still remained together.
