Drew Barrymorehas never gone under the knife — and she intends on keeping it that way.
“I have an extremely addictive personality,” theSanta Clarita Dietstar, 43, shared during a new interview withGlamourUK, before equatingplastic surgerywith heroin.
“I feel like they’re both very slippery slopes,” she shared. “I feel if I try either, I’m going to be dead really soon.”
Barrymore, founder of cruelty-free cosmetics lineFlower Beauty, went on to explain that she prefers to use makeup to correct any concerns rather than opting for a more permanent option.

“We’ve gone far too far with the whole thing, especially when people who are so young are doing it,” she shared.
“I feel ageing is a privilege. It’s about how to do it gracefully, with humour, self-love and a respect for the process, and that’s always been really important to me,” Barrymore continued, adding thathaving daughtersmade her even prouder of the decision to age naturally. “I thought, thank god these were my initial instincts.”
The actress shares daughtersFrankie, 4½, andOlive, 6, with ex Will Kopelman.

Barrymore went on to recommend her own effective alternative to plastic surgery: the“Clear + Brilliant” laser treatmentfrom Dr. Roy G. Geronemus, a dermatologist with offices in New York.
“[The treatment] just schluffs the barnacles of brown and sun damage off your face. It’s the greatest thing ever. It’s non-invasive and there’s no downtime. It’s like microdermabrasion laser, but it always makes me feel so much more attractive,” she remarked.

In keeping with her au-naturale approach to aging, Barrymore is also a fan ofposting no-makeup photosonline.
Shortly after sharing a sweet makeup-free selfie with palCameron Diaz, Barrymore explained why she chose to give the world such an unfiltered look at the Hollywood stars.
“We’d just come from a workout. We feel good. We’re not wearing any makeup, and we’re just being ourselves, shetold PEOPLEatBeautycon Festivalin July. “And sometimes all makeup and beauty fun aside, it’s just about the raw, honest, post workout look, you know? Just be you.”
Barrymore previously told PEOPLE that she finds it “empowering” to share makeup-free photos on social media.
“That’s what you really look like — and I have no interest in sort of pretending I look something else than what I am,” she said. “I love wearing makeup, but I also love not wearing makeup.”
