I don’t do anything except put moisturizer on,” Fonda tellsAllureof her stay-at-home skin-care regimen.
“I’m not getting facials anymore because of the pandemic.
“I use ablue-lightmask.
It’s calledUncle Bud’s Hemp Blue Light Face Mask.”
“When my muscles get sore, I use that for aches and pains.

As much as Fonda jokes about her age, she also embraces it and that includes her hair.
“I’ve let my hair go gray,” Fonda says.
“I’m almost 83 years old.
I’ve gotdark circles, and I need to put highlight under my eyes.”
In fact, she has an entire protest makeup routine.
Sometimes I use abright red lipstick, sometimes I use a pale pink lipstick.
That’s my activism face.”
“Being an activist is fun.
It’s not like you have to eat your broccoli.
It’s actually full of joy and fun and making friends and having a good time.”
