Zoe Saldanha can be considered one of the best actresses in modern Hollywood, known for films such as Avatar and Guardians of the Galaxy. And while Saldaña still turns heads while going makeup-free, her 20-plus year career has given her a certain perspective on life, especially when it comes to Hollywood’s expectations of beauty. In an exclusive conversation with InStyle alongside Hollywood legend Demi Moore, the Columbiana star was asked what she would tell a younger version of herself if she had the chance.
Saldanha’s answer is all about self-love. “Less is more… and just feeling beautiful in your own skin,” she told the publication. “I know it’s easier said than done, but it’s really the only way to truly be happy, it’s not easy Job with what looks at you in the mirror, but love it. And be happy about it, be proud of it and care about it.” The Oscar winner’s beauty philosophy is based on the idea that self-acceptance and self-care are a good foundation for building self-confidence. And in her new role as Lancôme’s global ambassador, she will undoubtedly continue to spread this message to millions of people around the world.

Zoe Saldaña has no problem telling the world her beauty routine and how she prepares for a shoot in record time. In Vogue’s “Beauty Secrets” segment, actress “Emilia Perez” revealed her very short and simple evening beauty routine. Her skincare routine consisted of just a toner and moisturizer, which raises the question of how many steps in today’s skincare routine are too many. However, Saldanha also took the time to showcase and highlight her love for facial massage using moisturizer. “I’ve always really valued my skincare routine,” the “Lioness” star told the camera. “And it’s like it’s always been my time.”
Saldaña then moved on to her makeup routine, where she revealed that she prefers a “very natural look.” The Golden Globe winner revealed that she prefers to simply apply concealer to hide imperfections rather than apply foundation all over her face. She then moved on to blush and bronzer before finishing off her lip treatment. Saldaña emphasized how much she likes to keep her daily routine simple and specific. “My things are very easy to use, I don’t overdo it, I don’t overdo it.”
