00:00For her entire life, Tori Spelling has been afraid of showing off what she describes as
00:04her giant pores. So why is she suddenly going makeup-free?
00:09On social media, Tori Spelling gives her loyal fans glimpses of her life as a hands-on mom
00:14in between her numerous glamour shots. Her many unfiltered looks are something
00:17her followers have found relatable. In 2015, Spelling shared a bare-faced look
00:22on Instagram while prepping her four kids for the school year. While gearing up for
00:25their academic return, an eager Spelling joked that she'd finally have enough time
00:30to get back into a beauty routine, writing,
00:32"...with all four in school, I will have a little more time to myself."
00:36Aside from her fresh face, Spelling was also rocking her straight blonde hair in the selfie,
00:41and asked her followers to share some of their favorite beauty picks.
00:44This week, I want to focus on hair. What's the best flat iron or curling iron?
00:49Outside of her hair interests, the 90210 alum is always raving about the skincare
00:54treatment she has tried. In a 2021 interview with Jeff Lewis on SiriusXM, the host asked
00:59Spelling about some viral photos of her sporting a more youthful appearance, and inquired about her
01:04possible cosmetic procedures. After asserting it was makeup contouring that altered the look of
01:09her facial features, she and Lewis raved about a recent Exosom skincare treatment they tried
01:14together.
01:14They said my skin looks flawless, so maybe I'm looking younger?"
01:18Summertime with Spelling's family looks like plenty of fun, especially when you glance at
01:22her social media. Over the years, the stars documented many long weekend celebrations at
01:27the beach, by the pool, or during a barbecue with her children. And in 2016, Spelling posed
01:32for an adorable Labor Day weekend selfie with her son. The pair smiled in an Instagram post
01:37that marked the end of summer for them, and Spelling can be seen sans makeup with her
01:41captioning the pic,
01:42"'Mama bear and baby bear take a goodbye selfie to summer.'"
01:46To emphasize her natural appearance, Spelling added the hashtags
01:49no filter and no makeup to the caption. Instead of her usual glam, she seemed to be soaking up
01:54the sun with nothing but sunscreen on. Fans of the star loved seeing her natural look,
01:58with one commenting,
02:00"'You are a beautiful and wonderful person and mother. You have natural beauty.'"
02:04One of the ways to signal a new beginning is a new haircut. For Spelling,
02:08there was no better way to kick off the new year than drastically changing up her hair.
02:12In January 2018, she posted a selfie on Instagram after cutting her signature
02:17long blonde locks into a sleek and chic bob. She wrote in a caption,
02:21"'New year, new week, new look.'"
02:23Spelling went on to write about how one of her resolutions for the year was to embrace
02:27change and step out of her comfort zone, before signing off with a no-makeup tag.
02:31"'I gave myself a chop, woke up this rainy Monday morning with energy and confidence.
02:36Is it the haircut? No. That's just a reminder that change comes from within. Be the change you want.'"
02:42This wasn't the first time the star rocked a bob. In a 2014 Instagram selfie,
02:46the actor showed off a similar chop and revealed that she had cut her hair herself.
02:51Living the mom life isn't as glamorous as shooting a hit television show like 90210,
02:55but the time Spelling spends with her children seems to be even more fulfilling to her.
02:59In a 2020 Instagram post, she gushed about how much she loves starting her days with
03:03her children by her side. This is the way to wake up, next to my baby. We don't do family bed often,
03:08but I cherish the times I get to sleep with this little man. In the adorable selfie,
03:12Spelling wears no makeup while smiling, with her youngest son, Beau, lying beside her in bed.
03:17She wrote,
03:17"'Waking up with a chubby soft baby foot in my face made me smile and made my whole day.
03:22I woke up so happy.'"
03:24On his sixth birthday in 2023, the actor revealed why Beau means so much to her, writing on Instagram,
03:29"'Finality is a hard thing for me. Knowing Beau was the last was tough,
03:33because I love the journey of pregnancy so much.'"
03:36In 2020, Tori Spelling frequently went on Instagram Live to promote beauty products.
03:40In one particular Live appearance, she emerged with no makeup accompanied by her son, Beau,
03:45on her lap.
03:46"'Sunday, so I didn't wash my face yet this morning, cause mom's day off.'"
03:51The famous mom spoke about how during quarantine she got better at taking care of her skin,
03:55which resulted in a more healthy and youthful appearance. Outside of her bare skin,
03:59Spelling's hair, which had faint pink ends, also grabbed the attention of her followers.
04:04She explained that she was shooting a horror video the day before,
04:07and while using fake blood, it stained her hair.
04:10"'If you are seeing that I have pink hair right now,
04:12you are not imagining that. I have accidental pink hair right now.
04:16Fake blood, I guess? Doesn't come off bleached hair extensions.'"
04:20During the pandemic, many couples were forced to have date night at their dinner table instead
04:24of at a fancy restaurant. Tori Spelling and her husband at the time, Dean McDermott,
04:28were no different. One night, Spelling went on Instagram Live and recorded herself getting ready
04:33for a date while putting on makeup. Before the glam, she appeared in front of the camera,
04:37barefaced, and raved about her current regimen of skincare products, which she said
04:41has improved her skin by minimizing the appearance of pores and healing her past acne scars. She said
04:46that she often posed with only part of her face showing because she was insecure about her skin.
04:51"'My whole life I've been embarrassed of large pores.'"
04:53With improved skin, Spelling explained that she now poses
04:56straight on and only uses foundation with lightweight coverage. The 90210 alum is
05:00much more confident in her natural appearance and shared at the time of the Instagram Live
05:05that she didn't have any Botox or fillers injected into her skin.
05:09In January 2022, Spelling revealed to fans that she and her entire family tested positive for
05:14COVID-19. Like many people during the pandemic, the family spent the following days quarantining
05:19at home, which Spelling documented on social media with numerous updates and selfies.
05:24The initial Instagram announcement of the family being hit with the contagious disease
05:28included a makeup-free selfie of Spelling and her child. The actor revealed that she
05:32was caring for her children while sick, but the symptoms of the illness had begun to wear her down.
05:36Days later, Spelling posted an update on her Instagram stories, this time pouting.
05:41While in bed, she snapped a photo that showed her signature blonde locks grown out,
05:45and her skin looking clear and free of any makeup. She wrote in the accompanying caption,
05:49"'Day 8. When does this get better?' It was clearly not the ideal way to kick off the New Year."
05:54But by the following month, things seemed to be going better for her.
05:58Once she was officially in the clear from COVID, Spelling returned back to her more glamorous
06:02looks. The actor reunited with her glam team and had her hair and makeup done, writing on Instagram,
06:07"'First glam since I had COVID.'"
06:09In August 2023, Spelling and her five children were spotted staying in an RV,
06:14two months after the actors split from McDermott. The RV living situation came
06:17after the family moved out of their home and booked a stay at a Hollywood motel.
06:21According to Spelling, the motel stay was due to a mold infestation in their rented home.
06:26The family spent the summer in an RV, and many fans wondered if it was due to the impending divorce
06:30or partly due to Spelling's financial challenges.
06:33"'Is it challenges or challenges-es?'
06:36"'Challenges.'
06:36"'Probably challenges.'"
06:37However, on Instagram, the star shared sweet family photos with her children in the RV,
06:42looking happier than ever. In the photo dump, Spelling is seen makeup-free in a sweatsuit,
06:46while snuggled up with one of her kids. The pair smiled together while throwing up the peace sign.
06:50The other photo showed her children enjoying their time in the RV, with Spelling writing
06:54to her fans,
06:55"'As long as we have each other.'"
06:57Living in the RV is drastically different from the glamorous life she and her children had
07:02become accustomed to, but Spelling seemed to enjoy seeing the sights with her kids
07:06and being away from a glam team. Unfortunately,
07:08her children were shamed when they returned to school. Spelling later revealed on her
07:12Misspelling podcast,
07:13"...we rented that RV like every other family and drove up the coast and camped
07:17and students were like, oh, we thought you were homeless."
07:21Sometimes you just need to stop, smell the roses, and take a selfie. Like many others,
07:25Tori Spelling's idea of self-care includes going on walks, pondering life,
07:29and eating a bowl of sunflower butter. In one November 2023 Instagram post,
07:34the actor shared a selfie for her followers, featuring a beautiful makeup-free look,
07:38accompanied by the inspiring caption,
07:40"'I believe in always looking forward and keeping your eye on the prize.'"
07:44In the photo, the actor wore a white tank top and showed off her arm tattoo,
07:48which, translated from French, reads,
07:49"'All my heart, all my life.'"
07:51With her hair pulled back into a low ponytail, Spelling's makeup-free look
07:55took center stage in the new photo. The actor seemed to be exuding the
07:58strength she wrote about in the caption, as she reflected,
08:00"'It's important to look back once in a while,
08:02and remind yourself how far you've come, and what a badass you truly are.'"
08:06The inspirational Instagram post came just months after Spelling split from McDermott.
08:11With the sad but not shocking news, fans flooded her Instagram comments with support
08:15and compliments. They praised her resilience during a tough time. One excited fan even
08:19complimented her makeup-free look, writing,
08:21"'How is my teenage crush still one of the most beautiful women and humans in the world?''
