Beautiful among the beautiful. Eva Mendes is lucky to have been graced with her best genes, because in addition to her obvious physical attractiveness, it seems that the years do not pass by her. Just turned 49, the actress is better than ever, and as is logical, many want to know what the secret of that apparent eternal youth is.
Well, the Training Day star wanted to please her followers and share her biggest beauty secret. However, it has been completely unexpected: she shaves her face several times a week, as she confesses to having excess facial hair.
“Yes, I shave my face,” the actress confessed in a message in which she shared a video about her beauty routine on Instagram, where she was seen spending a relaxing day in a spa to get ready at all levels .
Among other treatments, the actress could be seen undergoing dermaplaning, which basically consists of shaving; although in reality it is a mechanical exfoliation of the skin’s surface, which is performed with a surgical scalpel, to obtain smooth and soft skin.
This treatment, which usually lasts half an hour, removes dead cells and facial hair. It is a non-invasive exfoliation that helps reduce acne breakouts (not recommended for cystic acne) and unclogs pores.
It was when one of her followers asked her about the frequency of the treatment that the actress confessed that she shaved her face “frequently” because “it was a beast”. With all the naturalness in the world, she even revealed that if she had chills she would grow body hair: “I’m shaving my legs in the shower, I get chills and all my work has been for nothing.”
After the questions and positive comments she received for her naturalness and sincerity when undergoing the treatment, the actress also shared a carousel of images where she could see in more detail how she shaved her face.
The actress looks perfect, but she also takes great care of herself. In addition to the regular use of exfoliants and moisturizers with natural ingredients, she is addicted to coconut oil, which she uses all over her body. You also never forget sun protection, which prevents premature aging.
Facial hair continues to be a problem for many women. Having hair on the mustache or between the eyebrows is common, but its appearance in other areas, being also stronger and more abundant, can condition the day to day and become an emotional problem. This excess hair is called hirsutism, and its etiology is usually hormonal.
Among the best ways to eliminate it, photoepilation or laser hair removal (be careful, you can’t talk about permanent hair removal), since they destroy the cells in charge of producing hair. However, the treatment Mendes undergoes, although it requires maintenance, is not invasive.
