Hollywood actress Eva Mendes recently shared a surprising beauty secret with her Instagram followers, confessing that she considers herself such a “hairy beast” that she needs to shave her face “every other day” to maintain a flawless complexion.
The Cuban-American starlet took to Instagram on Tuesday, June 6, to reveal her skincare routine, sparking curiosity among her fans. One follower asked about the recommended frequency of dermaplaning, a technique involving the use of an oscillating blade to gently remove the surface layers of the skin and eliminate facial fuzz.
With her characteristic humour, Mendes, 49, replied-
“I’m a beast, so I probably need it every other day! Ha.”
She further shared an amusing anecdote about her hair growing back rapidly even if she gets chills, stating-
“I’ll literally be shaving my legs in the shower and get chills, and all my work is undone!”
Dermaplaning, also known as facial shaving, not only helps in the removal of peach fuzz but also offers additional benefits such as minimizing the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles. Mendes’ candid revelation about her frequent face-shaving routine highlights her dedication to maintaining a flawless complexion.
The actress expressed her delight at the response her post received. Particularly from women who have been shaving their faces for years. She acknowledged that “dermaplaning” might be the preferred term. However, she unapologetically embraced the straightforward and honest description of her routine, stating-
“it is what it is and I LOVE it!”
Her honest and relatable approach continues to resonate with fans. Especially those who appreciate her authenticity and transparency in the world of Hollywood glamour.
