In addition to leaving Hollywood, Cameron Diaz also let go of the social pressures placed on her beauty, something that many women, particularly those in the public eye, frequently deal with.
The former actress discussed her current skincare and beauty standards philosophy in an interview with Michelle Visage on her Rule Breakers podcast on the BBC, stating that she would rather lead a carefree existence.
Cameron talked about how she was liberated from the constraints of Hollywood allure by giving up performing after marrying Benji Madden.
Given her public lifestyle, the Charlie’s Angels actress admitted that she had been a “victim of societal objectifications and exploitations” all of her life.
She said, “I am definitely a victim of all of the objectifications and exploitations that women are subjected to in society,” and she also acknowledged the part she had played in upholding these norms.
At 51 years old, Cameron revealed that her cosmetics are essentially unused on her shelf, accumulating dust and eventually expiring one by one. This just goes to show how much Cameron has deviated from the strict beauty regimens typically prescribed by Hollywood.
It’s challenging to refrain. Trying not to compare oneself to external standards of beauty is difficult, and in my opinion, that’s one of the main issues. I’m crazy about the last eight years, gal. I resemble a feral animal. Cameron told Michelle, “I’m a beast,” summarizing her present perspective on beauty regimens.
The single mother has also adopted a natural and carefree skincare routine, stating that she prefers not to focus about her appearance every day.
“I’m not bothered. What I look like is literally the last thing that crosses my mind every day—in fact, it may not even cross my mind during the day. No, I really don’t do anything. “I never wash my face,” she told Michelle straight up.
Every now and again she goes back to her former routines, using various creams and lotions. However, the actress from The Holiday revealed that this only occurs “twice a month if I’m lucky.” “I’ll be like, ‘Oh, I better put this on,'” she continued. It works the first time, right? Is that all I need to do, really? Simply put, I’m not where I’m putting my energy at the moment.
Cameron is able to devote her time and attention to more fulfilling pursuits, such as parenting her daughter Raddix, who was born in January 2020, by deciding to let go of the demands of appearance.
