Eva Mendesis not afraid to get real about unwanted facial hair.

The actress, 49, dedicated two Instagram posts on Monday and Tuesday to her experience with dermaplaning, the skincare technique that involves shaving away the top layers of skin and hair on the face.

She said her treatments at the Beauty Villa Vergara spa in Beverly Hills, California, were “heaven.” In an earlierpostteasing her treatments at the spa, she said, “There’s no other place like this.”

“I guess “dermaplaning” is the preferred word but it is what it is and I LOVE it!” Mendes wrote in her caption onInstagram.

Mendes gives her Instagram followers an intimate peek at her beauty treatments and fashion choices often.

She shared a series of photos on Instagram in March featuring abehind-the-scenes look at her mornings, including her routine for her newly red hair and her fashion choices for the day.

“Resting Eva Face,” she wrote cheekily alongside the photos. “Early Work Day.”

Mendes’ glamorous fashion and beauty posts aren’t the only things she shares with her followers, though. In apictureshe posted last week wearing a vibrant matching set, she authentically shared in the caption, “Oh and this@caracara_nyctwo piece? I just love it and want to celebrate the designer. Today, my real look is my t-shirt and sweats."
