When you think of Eva Mendes, you immediately think of films like “Hitch – The Date Doctor” (2005) or “Ghost Rider” (2007), her famous husband Ryan Gosling and one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood.
It was not without reason that the American woman was named the most erotic woman in the world in 2009 by the online magazine “Ask Men”. It’s hard to believe that the actress will turn 50 on March 5th. But Eva Mendes also does a lot for her appearance.
Eva Mendes swears by lots of water
For Eva Mendes, sport is on the agenda every day. She visits the gym three times a week, but trains up to five times in total. The actress mainly does interval training, a mix of running and sprinting. This is much more effective than 30 to 45 minutes of continuous cardio.
In addition to her exercise program, Mendes swears by small portions in her diet. She eats five times a day, focusing primarily on scrambled eggs, chicken, fish, rice, quinoa and salads.
But her most important tip is to drink lots of water. This is also a reason for her radiant skin. However, there is one sweet that always makes her weak: Cadbury Creme Eggs, i.e. chocolate eggs with a creamy filling.
Eva Mendes also makes her own beauty products
Like so many people, Eva Mendes uses anti-aging products to keep her radiantly fresh skin. But she was particularly fond of one oil, as she revealed in the “Byrdie” interview: the Pure Radiance Oil from True Botanicals. The product is said to consist of a blend of omega-3 fatty acids, astaxanthin, algae extract and 14 absorbable seed oils. The actress also applies this on her hands.
Another insider tip from her is mild laser treatments. “It helps with smoothness and discoloration,” she says. But one or two DIY recipes also help her: “Only when necessary, I make my own peeling by adding sea salt to natural yogurt. It really works! I also use baking soda to polish my teeth.”
By the way, she only washes her hair twice a week. She likes to leave coconut oil on overnight and then wash it out in the morning. She also uses a coconut oil mask once a month.
Little beauty helpers
To ensure that the products mentioned can develop their full effect, Eva Mendes also likes to use supporting tools. “I love the ZIIP Beauty Tool for my face, a portable electric skin care device that uses energetic vibrations pushed into the skin through positively and negatively charged discs,” she continued to tell Glamour. She also uses a facial roller to reduce puffiness. She usually puts this in the fridge beforehand for a cooling effect.
Children, job and styling – finding balance
Eva Mendes more or less left acting behind her a few years ago. Today she primarily works as a designer and regularly brings out new collections with the fashion label “New York & Company”. Her creations are presented at various fashion shows.
Her partner Ryan Gosling, with whom she has been in a relationship since 2011 and has two daughters, supports her in this. However, she often doesn’t have much time for styling. “Your standards are reduced to the bare minimum,” she told People magazine in 2017. But let’s be honest, if you look like that naturally, you don’t need hours of make-up sessions in front of the bathroom mirror.
