Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale had 'a lot of shame' about her skin in her 20s
Lucy Hale had a lot of "shame" about her skin when she was in her twenties.
The 35-year-old actress starred in 'Pretty Little Liars' during that time and developed adult acne, which always "derailed [her] day" if she suffered a sudden breakout..
She told People: "When I was younger, if my skin was breaking out, or if there was anything going on, it derailed my day.
"I look back at my 20s and there was a lot of shame attached to my skin ... these days, I'm a lot more kind to myself."
Lucy neglected sun protection factor (SPF) in her 20s, and now she is dealing with "all the sun spots" coming to the surface of her skin.
She added: "I was kind of careless about [SPF] or didn't think about it, and because [hyperpigmentation] didn't show up then I was like, 'I'm fine,'
"Then, of course, I hit 35, and all the sun spots are coming to the surface."
Now, she is using Eucerin's new Radiant Tone Collection - which helps to improve the skin's radiance within weeks - and Lucy has shared it is gradually reducing the appearance of the dark spots.
The 'F*** Marry Kill' star revealed: "These products are incredible.
"It has something called Thiamidol in it, which was new to me.
"I'm obviously not a scientist, but it helps the hyperpigmentation and the dark spots to fade."
And Lucy has insisted that people should build a strong relationship with their dermatologist.
She advised: "Develop the best relationship with your dermatologist.
"I swear by this, and I didn't always."

Judge dismisses Justin Baldoni's lawsuit against Blake Lively
Justin Baldoni's lawsuit against Blake Lively has been dismissed by a federal judge. The 41-year-old actor previously launched a $400 million countersuit against his 'It Ends with Us' co-star, her husband Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Sloane - the couple's publicist - and the New York Times newspaper, after she accused her former co-star of causing her "severe emotional distress". Following the judge's decision, Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb, Blake's attorneys, said in a statement obtained by People: "Today's opinion is a total victory and a complete vindication for Blake Lively, along with those that Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties dragged into their retaliatory lawsuit, including Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Sloane and The New York Times." The attorneys actually described Justin's countersuit as a "sham". They continued: "As we have said from day one, this '$400 million' lawsuit was a sham, and the court saw right through it. "We look forward to the next round, which is seeking attorneys' fees, treble damages and punitive damages against Baldoni, [Steve] Sarowitz, [Melissa] Nathan and the other Wayfarer Parties who perpetrated this abusive litigation." Justin previously accused Blake and her husband of extortion and defamation, while he launched a $250 million defamation lawsuit against the New York Times, too. However, his accusations have now been dismissed by Judge Lewis J. Liman, who reached the verdict on Monday (09.06.25) in New York. Blake, 37, previously accused her former co-star of employing "sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct". The actress - who played Justin's on-screen love interest in 'It Ends with Us' - told the New York Times: "I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted." Justin - who also directed the 2024 romantic drama film - later denied the allegations, with his lawyer describing the claims as "categorically false". Bryan Freedman - who acted as a lawyer for the actor and his Wayfarer Studios production company - told Variety: "These claims are completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media."

Julia Fox praises women who are open about cosmetic surgery
Julia Fox believes it is important for women to be open about any cosmetic procedures they undergo. The 35-year-old actress - who has spoken openly in the past about having liposuction and Botox - praised the "new wave of women" who have been candid about their treatments and thinks it is particularly helpful for "impressionable" girls to know when people have enhanced their appearance. She told People magazine: "I love it. I think we should be honest." "Women set the bar for each other and I feel like if you're setting an unrealistic bar [if you're not honest]. That's really great for you, but what about all the girls that are so impressionable and feeling like 'Wait, why don't I look like that and what's wrong with me?' "It's like, girl, none of us look like this, you know what I mean? Like we all look really different without the surgery and without the fillers and without the makeup and all the things we do and the face tapes and the wigs and the tanning creams. The list goes on. On and on and on." The Uncut Gems star stressed the importance of women knowing their self-worth. She added: "It's really important [to tell] girls there's nothing wrong with you, like you're perfect the way you are and this is all smoke and mirrors, sweetie, you know … it's such a beautiful message." Julia previously claimed she finds the word beauty "oppressive". She told Vogue magazine: 'I hate the term 'beauty'. I find it oppressive. I wish we could take that word out of cosmetics. Because, for me, when I'm using make-up, and when I'm doing my skincare routine or whatever it may be, I'm not aiming to look beautiful. 'It has more to do with self-care. The version of me that wanted to look hot for guys just does not exist anymore. Being attractive used to be a currency that I could use to get out of a situation, but I changed a lot after becoming a mum. I started to see the subtle ways in which women are oppressed. 'Which is why I don't subscribe to the patriarchal notion that women should try and look beautiful. Look how it affects women and young girls from a really early age: we see the lengths that women will go to, putting their lives at risk, even dying to be beautiful. So for me, make-up is about trying to express myself and be creative – it's another art form.'

Brooke Shields reveals how her Tony Awards clutch bag has special connection to theatre
Brooke Shields took a clutch bag made from theatre curtains to the Tony Awards. The 60-year-old actress made an appearance at the annual ceremony honouring Broadway theatre on Sunday (08.06.25) evening at the Radio City Music Hall, and revealed that the red bag she carried with her was made from curtains that once hung at the famed venue before its renovation. She told PEOPLE: "When they renovated Radio City [Music Hall], like, 10 years ago, they tore down all the curtains, and then they made bags out of them, and my husband gave me — bought me a bag." The Blue Lagoon star - who has been married to Chris Henchy since 2001 and has daughters Rowan, 22, and 19-year-old Grier with him - has previosuly starred in productions of Grease, Cabaret, Chicago and The Addams Family over the course of her career, but thinks that she "never work on Broadway again" as she concentrates on her new role as president of Actors' Equity Association. Earlier this year, the former Hannah Montana star celebrated her milestone 60th birthday, and explained at the time that she hoped her book, Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old would spark fresh conversations about beauty ideals. She told Real Simple magazine: "I hope it opens up a conversation about what the ideals are and what beauty really means. The more I talked to women who are over 40, the more I realised that part of chasing youth is not just for themselves, but for other people. It's for partners, it's for the way you're looked at in public, and it's a dangerous, slippery slope. "We're not allowed to just grow and experience our life and be OK with it. "Beauty can come in different forms. It doesn't have to be associated with youth."
