'Desperate Housewives' star Teri Hatcher has published a series of photos of herself "to reveal some truths about 'beauty'".
Hatcher's Facebook page now features a photo gallery called 'Oy with the Botox!'.
In the photos the 45-year-old star has just come out of the shower and is wearing no make-up.
She said: "Thought about all those damn critics of my face. Love it or hate it, my face that is, no surgery, no implants, no matter what 'they' say. Decided I'd shoot myself in to reveal some truths about 'beauty' and hope it makes you all easier on yourself."
She continued: "Did I every toy with fillers or Botox over the years? Yes. Tell me does this look Botoxed to you? Yes I am alone in my bathroom naked in a towel on behalf of women everywhere trying to make a point. Women YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL."
Under one photo, Hatcher wrote: "I can be mad, or confused or sad and tired. Julia Roberts had that same vein in her forehead in 'Eat Pray Love'. Proud of Julia for being a real woman on a real journey."
Hatcher also revealed how she looks good in photos: good lighting.
"Just me wanting to teach that all those glam versus trash pictures of celebs are about LIGHTING," she said.
"It's not makeup it's not surgery or Botox its LIGHT. Flat front light in your face, especially sun setting 4pm light blows out all wrinkles and imperfections.
"Over head light, sun, anything casts shadows under your eye from your brow, making you look tired. Shoot all family reunion photos that way [with] the camera man... holding the camera a little higher than your eye line."
