A few years ago, Cameron Diaz was one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actresses, admired by directors and fans alike.

However, in 2015, she chose to step away from acting to focus on building a family life with her husband, Benji Madden. This life change also significantly transformed her personal habits.

In a recent podcast, Diaz opened up about how her perspective on beauty and self-care has evolved.

“I saw myself as a victim of societal objectification and exploitation that all women face,” she shared. “I bought into it at the time. It’s tough not to compare yourself to others who set the beauty standards. But over the past eight years, I’ve stopped doing that.”

Diaz revealed that she’s moved away from traditional beauty routines—and she’s happier for it.

“I don’t care anymore. Appearance is the last thing on my mind each day, or not at all,” she admitted.

She even confessed, “I love that I just stopped washing my face.” Her bathroom shelves are filled with beauty products she no longer uses, as her priorities have shifted to other aspects of life.

Cameron Diaz’s fresh outlook highlights her focus on inner contentment over external pressures.
