Natalie Portman On Staying Gorgeous, Having a Career, and Being a Mom

When you’re a Hollywood treasure like Natalie Portman, staying gorgeous and being a good mother might get tampered with, but luckily she is pulling it off with flying colors. One of the things she credits most is her vegan diet.

“I don’t do much beauty maintenance, and I find it tricky right now having a small baby, but I’ve been using the Priv beauty app every once in a while to schedule mani-pedis at the house, which has been nice,” she told Harper’s Bazaar.

She added that she also relies on acupuncture and massage to relieve muscle tension. “I do both once every two weeks, and it keeps me feeling good.”

As for hair: ”I get my hair done so much for work that if I need a haircut I’ll usually ask the hairdresser who’s working with me to trim it. I’ve colored my hair in the past, but right now I’m completely natural. It’s nice to give my hair a break.”

She previously shared with The Cut, “When I go to a question-and-answer session, I have to go through two hours of makeup. The actor gets to roll out of bed. That really bums me out. I’ve spent a lot of time getting hair and makeup done in my life. I could have written five books in that time — not that I would have. But it does feel like a lot of that time could be spent doing other positive things.”
