Gwyneth Paltrow Shares A New Makeup-Free Selfie On Instagram
The lifestyle guru is known for her Instagram content, giving her fans and followers glimpses into her daily lifestyle and promoting products that she loves or ones made by her brand.
Over the last few years, she's shown that she's not afraid to dabble in the occasional bare-faced selfie, wearing less makeup at this stage in her career and showing off the youthful-looking skin she's been working hard to maintain. One of her most recent makeup-free snaps came in the form of an Instagram story, as she promoted some new eye patches from her Goop Beauty brand.
In her story, the 53-year-old can be seen posing up close to her camera as she sports the white undereye patches under each eye. With her blonde hair pulled back and her face in a more solemn expression, she tagged a link for the "depuffing" eye masks and wrote the caption, "Morning ritual."
Gwyneth Recently Opened Up About Experiencing 'Anxiety' On Her Podcast
The new selfie didn't come long after the mom-of-two went viral for opening up about some of her latest mental health struggles on her podcast, "The Goop Podcast." In the episode, she spoke to Zanna Roberts Rassi, the founder of Milk Makeup, about how, as she's gotten older, she's dealing with some mental health issues and challenges that she hadn't really faced before, including anxiety and intrusive thoughts that keep her up at night.
"I think also my hormonal phase of life, I have a lot of anxiety for the very first time in my life, which is just a symptom of hormonal changes," she said. "I think it's an estrogen dominance thing. It makes you really anxious. So part of it is physiological, part of it is psychological, part of it's emotional, and part of it's public life."
Aside from hormonal changes, the Shallow Hal actress noted that her life in the public eye and having dealt with both praise and backlash for decades has made an impact on her nervous system.
"I've lived a very intense life in the public eye for a really, really long time," she noted. "I think whenever we're at the mercy of people's opinions and all the energy behind the opinions — I'm very sensitive, as most of us are, so I feel that and it kind of frays my nervous system."
