Ladies, Makeup Is Your Friend As Cameron Diaz Bravely Shows The World

Okay, we realize that Cameron Diaz posed with a very naked face in her new book to empower young women around the world to embrace their uniqueness, and to stop worrying about their looks and weight.

But, we also find a lesson in her brave, no makeup face:

Ladies---makeup is also your friend. There is nothing bad about putting a little on.

That's what we have learned. No, the pretty actress looks okay without a trace of cosmetics. But, we think she is much more attractive wearing makeup.

We think Cameron somehow looks OLDER than her 41 years without makeup on.

As a gal who grew up by those beautiful California beaches, Cameron has taken in a lot of sun, and yeah, it shows. But she is also a woman with stunning features and a slender, leggy body.

The star posted the bare-faced photo to her Instagram account Wednesday (Dec. 11). There she is smiling + hugging a copy of the book. 

"One of my proudest moments! Receiving the first bound copy of The Body Book!! @thebodybook LADIES!! I wrote this book for YOU and YOUR BODY.. And I'm so excited to share it with you!! You can pre-order it now. #loveyouramazingbody," she wrote.

So, how do we REVERSE sun damage?

Most of us have done tons of sun.

Skin experts advise doing exfoliation. You want to scrub away those dead skin cells. Try this one by Dr. Shultz:

Beauty Rx Daily Exfoliating Therapy Serum ($65). This is an excellent glycolic acid peeling serum designed to ---

Accelerate facial rejuvenation

Help prevent and control acne by unclogging pores and loosening comedones

Reduce the appearance of pore size

Remove brown spots

Diminish and soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with regular use

Meantime....The Body Book by Cameron Diaz would make a nice present for the holidays.

You can find the book right here.
