Cameron Diaz has a beauty confession. Some people double cleanse, others only wash their faces at night, but Diaz rarely washes her face at all. “I literally do nothing, I never wash my face,” she tells Michelle Visage on her new BBC podcast, “Rule Breakers,” as the two discussed their approach to aging. Perhaps that’s the secret to her glowing skin?
“I’m just not in that place right now where it’s where I put any energy.”
“I have a billion products that I use twice a month if I’m lucky,” she continued. “I’ll be like, ‘Oh, I better put this on. One time works, right? Like is that all I have to do?’ I’m just not in that place right now where it’s where I put any energy.” While Diaz’s routine clearly works for her, most dermatologists recommend washing your face twice daily, in the morning and evening. “This may vary based on your skin type. For those with dry or sensitive skin, washing once a day at night is likely enough, whereas for oily skin, washing twice daily is better,” board-certified dermatologist Dr. Shari Marchbein previously told POPSUGAR.
Though Diaz opened up about sitting in front of the mirror for hours and picking herself apart in the past, nowadays, she rarely thinks about what she looks like. Instead, she’s prioritizing staying strong and energised for her 2-year-old daughter, Raddix Madden. “I want to be able to be the mom who can run around and do all the fun stuff with her. I want my energy to stay vital,” she says. Diaz also opened up to Visage about turning 50, the realities of fame, and her departure from the entertainment industry.
Diaz joins fellow celebrities like Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and Jake Gyllenhaal who have confessed their unconventional bathing habits. Back in August, Gyllenhall said in an interview with Vanity Fair that he found bathing to be “less necessary,” adding that he believes we “naturally clean ourselves.” The Internet again erupted when Kunis and Kutcher got candid about not washing their bodies with soap every day, only tackling specific areas.
