AceShowbiz - Alyssa Milano is radiating joy as she celebrates her 52nd birthday. On Thursday, December 19, the actress and activist took to Instagram to share a barefaced selfie with a heartfelt message.

"This is 52. No make up. No filters. Happiness. Sprinkle that s**t everywhere," Milano wrote. Expressing love for her followers, she added, "I love you all. Even the trolls. If you can hate a stranger - I can love a stranger. So…I love you."

Milano's birthday selfie is a continuation of a tradition she began in recent years. In December 2021, she shared a makeup-free photo with the caption, "#nomakeupselfie #nofilter #iwokeuplikethis." For her 50th birthday, she wrote, "This is 50. No filter. No touching up. No make up. I will spend this day, the same as every day. I will move a little, love a lot, be of service, and count my blessings."

Joining the growing no-makeup movement, Milano follows in the footsteps of stars like Pamela Anderson, who has embraced a fresh-faced look since Paris Fashion Week in 2023.

This year also marks Milano's Broadway debut in the Tony-winning revival of "Chicago." Playing Roxie Hart, she expressed her excitement to return to her musical theatre roots.

Despite online backlash, Milano remains resilient and has learned the importance of gratitude, compassion, and empathy. As she enters this new chapter of her life, she is filled with "a sense of accomplishment and gratitude," supported by the love of her family and friends.
