AfterPamela Andersonshowed up toParis Fashion Week makeup free, the internet went wild for her pared-down look. But the actress, 56, who’s currently starring in season two of her home renovation showPamela’s Garden of Eden(now streaming Hulu), says she never meant for the moment to go viral.
“I’m makeup free at home, so why not for Paris Fashion Week?” she tells PEOPLE. “I really didn’t know anyone would notice it, but I’m glad it became a positive message.”
The formerBaywatchstar, who has had a resurgence in the past year owing to her memoirLove, Pamelaand the docuseriesPamela: A Love Story,adds thatthese days,she doesn’t care about getting older.
“I call if Life-ing, not aging,” she says. “Chasing youth is futile. All we can do is embrace who we are at the moment we are in, and be okay with where our feet stand right now.”

“I don’t have to be cool anymore,” she says about what she loves about this stage of life. “I can just be me. It’s very freeing to be comfortable in your own skin.”

That’s not to say she’llneverwear makeup or play dress up again. “I’m not opposed to it, I just don’t want to play the game,” she says. “And it felt good to look in the mirror and say, ‘I’m OK just like this.'”
As for whether her priorities have shifted now that she lives a more low-key life, she says they’ve mostly remained the same.
“I think I’ve had the same priorities over my lifetime, which is to be kind, and most importantly to be a good mom,” she says. “I knew I would not have kids unless I could look after them financially and emotionally, and that there would be in a safe place with or without a man in my life,” she says. “As a mother I took the role seriously and I’m glad I thought that through.”
