Kristin Davis, 59, is praised for a natural look as she goes makeup-free... a year after she was 'ridiculed' for facial fillers which she has since dissolved

Kristin Davis was a natural beauty in a makeup-free selfie shared to Instagram on Tuesday while on vacation in Kenya.

This comes almost a year after the 59-year-old star admitted she had her facial fillers dissolved because she was hurt when mercilessly ridiculed for having a puffier face.

In the throwback image the Sex And The City star looked youthful without the cosmetic injections as she was sun-drenched in the African country which she visited in February. 

Kristin's long, brunette locks tumbled over her shoulder in curls and she wore a peach shirt.

'Jet lagged, but the Kenya hair is worth it. #throwback,' she captioned the post. Fans quickly commented on how beautiful and natural she looked in the snap. 

'My god,' one fan wrote adding a heart-eye emoji, while another shared a string of praying hands, fire and heart emojis and wrote: 'goddess.'

Commenters who've been to Kenya confirmed that there's something in the air there that makes your hair look fantastic. 

'I miss my Kenya hair too. Can't wait to return,' one commenter wrote.

The actress' face looked slimmed down and much less puffy than it has in the past.

Kristin opened up about the backlash she's received for using filler in her face and admitted it caused her to 'shed tears.'

'I've had to get them dissolved, and I've been ridiculed relentlessly,' she told The Telegraph last summer. 

'And I have shed tears about it. It's very stressful,' she added. 

She also admitted to having work done on her lips – but the results weren't what she expected. 

'No one told me it didn't look good for the longest time,' she told the outlet.

'Luckily I do have good friends who did say eventually – the thing is you don't smile at yourself in the mirror. 

'Who smiles at themselves in the mirror? Crazy people,'  Davis continued.

And the Couples Retreat star has found it challenging to accept the changes that happen in her body and face as she ages, especially in a society and industry that values youthfulness.

'It's a challenge to remember that you don't have to look like that,' Davis explained. 

'The internet wants you to — but they also don't want you to. They're very conflicted.'
