Melissa Joan Hart Called Out The 'Smoke And Mirrors' Of Hollywood With A Poignant Pic

It's not unreasonable to think that celebrities seem to look so perfect all the time, with their top-notch outfits and not a hair out of place. But for Melissa Joan Hart, it's all a matter of perspective. Although Melissa Joan Hart has gone through a transformation since "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" ended, she's asking us not to believe what we see. In an Instagram post she made on her account, she showed a split image of herself with one side ready for the cameras, while the other shows her caught off-guard.

"The difference a little lighting, camera angle, and facial expression can make #smokeandmirrors #professionalphotographer vs #reallife," Hart wrote candidly in the caption. Hart bravely showed herself pictured in an unflattering light, appearing exhausted during the 2013 premiere for "Frozen." Fans greatly admired Hart's fearlessness in showing the untouched, less glamorous side of red carpet events, proving that she's one of the older celebs that aren't playing by society's beauty rules. "You're just the coolest. Full stop," one Instagram user praised. Another fan commented, "You're beautiful in both pictures. I've always admired your confidence and healthy figure."

Although Melissa Joan Hart has boldly shown the less curated side of Hollywood, she still consistently tries to look her best no matter where she goes. The "Melissa & Joey" star has always stuck to a skincare routine since her role in "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," though Hart has admitted that motherhood caused her to cut down everything for punctuality's sake. In an exclusive sit-down with NewBeauty, she revealed that experiencing acne also influenced how she takes care of her skin.

Now, it's all pared-back routines as she juggles motherhood and a busy work schedule. "My skincare routine has gone from being extremely complicated to a much simpler version," she shared with the publication. Through it all, Hart emphasized that she always ensures she keeps herself hydrated and moisturized, which is something she admits she neglected to do in her younger years. But with how good Hart looks these days, it simply shows that it's never too late to get started on your beauty routine.
