Pamela Anderson "jumped off the crazy train" by ditching makeup

Pamela told People: "I just kind of could see something culturally and I thought, 'I want to jump off the crazy train. I want to be one of the first ones to jump off the crazy train and just peel it back and see what's going on.'"

The 58-year-old star has gained "so much more confidence" since choosing not to wear makeup but admits that rejecting beauty products wasn't an easy decision.

Anderson said: "It's a choice.

"You do have to work on it. It's a practice to be confident going out of the house with or without makeup."

Pamela admits that a lack of makeup has lots of practical benefits.

She joked: "I've saved a lot of time."

However, The Naked Gun actress revealed that she wouldn't advise her younger self to forego makeup.

Pamela explained: "That's the thing. You look back in hindsight, after having some life experience, you can look back and see yourself. But I mean, I don't know if I'd give her any advice.

"You have to discover for yourself, and I would've had to discover for myself.

She continued: "If someone told me to do something when I was younger, I wouldn't have done it. So you just have to kind of find your own inspirations and own reasons."

Anderson became a co-owner of skincare company Sonsie last year and explained that the brand's practices are rooted in "authenticity".

She told her son Dylan, 27, who she has with ex-husband Tommy Lee, in a Q+A: "Mindful beauty means you think about the impact you have when you use a product or buy a product. There's just some products that are more sustainable than others and you have to kind of be mindful about that.

"It's more than just a skincare brand to us. For me it's like therapy really, just peeling back and being comfortable. It's a practice because, I don't wear a lot of makeup lately... I wear zero makeup."
