Pamela Anderson’s secrets to embracing her natural beauty at 57: From sunrise walks to her no makeup rule and the one thing she avoids ‘at all costs’

Pamela Anderson was one of, if not the most iconic Playboy models of the 90s. 

But in recent years, the blonde Baywatch star, 57, has left behind her character role as one of the biggest sex symbols of the nineties and noughties and revealed ‘the real her’. 

As she edges closer to 60 and continues to still wow her adoring fans with her signature no-make up red carpet appearances, she has revealed to The Times her secrets to maintaining her natural beauty. 

‘We are good enough just the way we are. I have to remind myself of that every day’, she said before confessing that she avoids her phone and social media ‘at all costs’.

Pamela writes her task for the day in her journal before she leaves the house before the sun rises to connect with nature.

She spilled that she walks three to six miles a day, reads and watches old movies in her spare time. 

When she is not keeping her mind busy with literature, she is typically found wholesomely whipping up a storm in the kitchen. 

Pamela dubs her Playboy image as a ‘cartoon character’ rather than her true self.

The icon— who recently shared the heartwarming story behind her forthcoming cookbook — also opened up about stepping back from Hollywood and away from her sex symbol status to Better Homes and Gardens magazine.

She has adopted more of a makeup free lifestyle in recent years, admitting that shifting to her natural look was a conscious decision.

Reflecting on going bare-faced she said ‘That was the beginning of me letting go of the image I had always had of myself.

‘What is this cartoon character that I’d created? OK, that was fun. But I’m not that person anymore,’ she said. 

The Baywatch star was also keen to challenge the idea of beauty and ‘this mask we put on’. 

'We are good enough just the way we are. I have to remind myself of that every day', she said before confessing that she avoids her phone and social media 'at all costs'

She insisted she ‘didn’t think anyone would even notice’ her ditching makeup, but the world has shown her a new way of viewing herself.

Pamela added: ‘As soon as I took the mask off, the whole world opened up.’

The blonde beauty then shared the relatable reason how skipping the lipstick changed her perspective on beauty. 

‘It just happened to be this silly thing of being at Paris Fashion Week and me saying, “I’m not going to sit in a makeup chair for three hours. I’m going to the Louvre,”‘ she quipped.

‘Then I thought, “Who am I competing with?” I was appreciating it as this girl who lives on Vancouver Island that got plopped into these glamorous clothes.

‘And I felt like this little freckle-faced kid with a big, beautiful Vivienne Westwood hat on,’ she added.

Pamela is glad to have moved away from the ‘pneumatic kind of image’ people have of her.

She explained to the outlet: ‘As much as I threw every dinner party and cooked all those meals for family and my kids, it wasn’t what was seen publicly. But I also played into the image that was created around me.’

The activist said gratefully: ‘I’m glad I did all that, but I’m really glad I’m where I am now. I think the most important part is, I made it through all of it. And now it’s such a relief that I get to be myself and enjoy this time,’ she finished. 

Pamela recently released her cookbook I Love You: Recipes from the Heart, which follows her buzzy memoir Love, Pamela.
