Parker has decided not to cover up her imperfections. The actress opts not to color her hair, citing that it consumes too much of her time. On top of that, the “Honeymoon in Vegas” star said she prefers keeping her skin without any makeup when she’s not working.

She expressed frustration with the misogynistic chatter surrounding women’s appearances, particularly regarding gray hair.

Given the extensive hours actors spend working and the heavy layers of makeup they often wear, Parker’s preference for maintaining clear skin off-set is entirely understandable. She also expressed her enjoyment of going makeup-free, stating,

“[Not wearing makeup] helps to let my skin breathe when I’m not working. The second reason is that I feel much more like myself when I’m not wearing makeup.”

Parker offers two pieces of advice regarding healthy skin. Firstly, she suggests not picking at blemishes and imperfections. Instead, she opts for topical solutions and supplements her routine with vitamins and a healthy diet, emphasizing the importance of simplicity. She never gets carried away with products.
