Pamela Andersonis sharing the secrets behind her beauty routine.
In herweekly journal, the author and activist, 56, says she’s gone “back to basics” when it comes to her regimen.
Anderson explains that she has no interest in “hovering over the sink with multiple steps” and has “weeded out” products, including anything “too complicated.”
Of the items she uses, she has a strategy: “I plant things where I’ll see them and [apply them] … A rose hydration spray in the fridge that I use every time I open it … A lip balm in my bag that I apply all day long especially in the winter …”
She’s also got “homemade” formulas, such as a rose hip facial oil that “sits on my vanity for before make up or just ‘as my makeup’ these days,” she says.

Anderson also opens up about her menopause journey, revealing that her doctor has told her she’s “not a good candidate for any hormone treatments, due to my family health history.”
She continues, “So, I’m on my own, going with the flow, no judgment…I got this.”

Anderson has been lauded for taking control of her own beauty journey in 2023.
In January, Anderson spoke to Dax Shepard and Monica Padman on theirArmchair Expertpodcast aboutthe narrative told to her about wearing makeup.
“When I was wearing makeup before, everyone told me not to wear makeup,” she shared, explaining that now, people expect her to wear it, but she’s not interested in doing so.”

In an interview withElle, weeks before Anderson lit upParis Fashion Weekwith her bare-faced glow, theLove, Pamelaauthor called going makeup-free “freeing, and fun, and a little rebellious too.”
“This is the chapter of my life I’m trying to embrace now,” Anderson later said in aTikTok video, adding that adhering to your own standards can sometimes be challenging, but “you just have to understand that you are good enough and that you are beautiful.”
She’s continued to hit red carpet events and fashion shows across the globeembracing a makeup-free complexion.
In her journal, Anderson said her mother was “right” that she’d enjoy less makeup as she got older.
That doesn’t mean she won’t ever get glam again she says.
“I still love a big makeup look when I feel like it – there lays the empowerment… it’s on my terms.”

But she’s now aware that “with a lot of makeup and filters… we might lose sight of how we look in person… and not just in our iPhone photographs.”
“I prefer a bare face these days — back to basics.”
