Monty Brinton/CBS(LOS ANGELES) — You don’t have to spend a fortune to look like Eva Mendes. The Hollywood actress spilled her beauty and fashion secrets Wednesday in her very first Facebook Q&A.
Mendes encouraged readers to stay hydrated. “Drinking warm water and lemon every morning before my coffee and staying hydrated all day long really helps me stay healthy and helps my skin look its best,” the Hitch actress wrote.
Calling water her top beauty must-have, she added, “I believe it starts from within, so water, water, water,” she wrote.
Ryan Gosling’s girlfriend added that she’s also religious about working out. “I also exercise at least three days a week no matter how stressed I am,” Mendes wrote, before adding, “I do cardio and light weights at least three times a week.”
As for her diet, “I think eating anything you want as long as it’s in moderation is good,” she said.
Mendes warned that you don’t have to spend a fortune on fashion.
“Any time I go to a new place I always check out their Salvation Army and Goodwill. It’s so fun. You have to be patient but it’s always worth it!” Mendes wrote. “There’s nothing more fun for me than putting my own modern twist on a vintage look.”
Mendes added that she draws fashion inspiration from other actresses, including Sophia Loren, Salma Hayek and Amber Heard.
