AceShowbiz - Eva Mendes, known for her captivating performances, has shared her views on beauty treatments and aging in a recent interview with The Times U.K. The 50-year-old actress believes in exploring options when it comes to cosmetic enhancements. "I'm not afraid to try things that are safe," she explained. "Most of these treatments are reversible, so if I don't like it, I can just wait it out." Mendes admits that she has regretted certain treatments, such as jaw lasering, but emphasizes that these procedures are temporary.

Reflecting on turning 50, Mendes describes it as a surreal experience. "It's just that number sounds crazy," she says. Despite feeling like a "girl inside," she acknowledges the physical and hormonal changes that come with age. Mendes openly discusses her forgetfulness and attributes it to the transition she's going through.

When asked about her definition of beauty at 50, Mendes shares a profound perspective. "At 50, I define beauty as not definable. It can be anything and everything. It's all around you." She encourages others to embrace the beauty that surrounds them and to see it in a more inclusive way.

Mendes credits her partner, Ryan Gosling, for boosting her confidence. "The way my man looks at me is just ... at times I'm like, 'Oh, my God,' " she says. She believes that the love and admiration he shows her reflects on her own perception of herself. Mendes emphasizes that she has never considered herself beautiful, but she has always felt sexy.

Over the years, Mendes has been transparent about her experiences with cosmetic treatments. She has undergone Botox, dermaplaning, and Mono-Threads, a procedure that stimulates collagen production. Mendes believes that the key lies in making informed decisions and exploring options that align with her personal preferences.

As a Latina woman in the entertainment industry, Mendes emphasizes the importance of supporting businesses owned by Latina entrepreneurs. She is particularly excited about the opening of Dr. Mariana Vergara Hofstetter's beauty spa. "No office with bad fluorescent lighting. No sterile office vibe. This is my go-to for all things beauty," she says.
