At one point, she mentioned that she’s often approached by people who want her to reveal her “beauty secrets.”
“Go to sleep,” she says in a viral clip from her interview. “Go to bed. Close your eyes. Get sleep. It’s amazing how many people don’t sleep now. Almost every woman I talk to is like…’ I can survive like, on five hours.’ You’re not. You think you are….You think you can function on five, [but] you should not be functioning on five.”

Social Media Reacts To Eva's Comments On Sleep For Beauty
There's no doubt that getting enough sleep is an important part of people's everyday health, creating a health effect that grows from the inside to the outside, strengthening your immune system, regulating your emotions, and more.
However, when the 51-year-old explained that sleeping more than five hours a night was her go-to beauty secret, there were split reactions on social media. The podcast's host, Robin Arzon, as well as several social media users on Instagram, agreed, but there were numerous commenters who were doubtful. Eva has been the target of some plastic surgery and Botox rumors over the last decade, which has caused some doubt amongst fans and others.
"This is great advice, but the Botox in her face screams that sleep isn't her only beauty tool," commented an Instagram user.
"Stop," wrote another. "Botox, filler, laser, Microneedling, surgery… then add sleep!"
"I agree with the sleep thing, but why in 2026 are we still asking women who clearly get some sort of injections what their beauty secret is?" a passionate user began. "I have no problem with women doing that and in no way am I shaming them, but come on! Can we be realistic here? This is perpetuating these crazy standards on women. Just be honest."
"The beauty secret is money!" joked another.
"This is giving gaslighting energy," added a user.
"Imagine saying this with a face that is filled with Botox and filler. Madness."
