At one point, Electra was seen massaging her head and temples before staring off into the distance.

Carmen landed her iconic Baywatch role as sexy lifeguard Lani McKenzie in 1997, making her a sex symbol.

The star left the series after one season due to her hectic schedule and her mother being ill.

She later returned for the reunion movie, Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding, in 2003.

In 2020, Electra shared the secrets to her ageless look: a strict diet, lots of water, and a carefully crafted skincare routine she’s been using for 20 years.

Speaking to DailyMail.com, the former Playboy model explained that people often accuse her of having surgery to keep up with her looks, noting that so many people in Hollywood have gone under the knife that is normally assumed that everyone did.

“Let’s face it, we’re here in Hollywood and when I tell the real story most people are shocked, because normally a woman would have certain things done,” she said.

“In my case, I’m totally free from (surgery) and I’d say (my youthful appearance) is because of my discipline with my skincare routine.”

“For now I’m happy with my routine and it’s working!” she said, adding to those who do go under the knife, “I believe everyone has the right to be who they want without judgment.”

However, the Los Angeles native has one piece of advice for anyone considering surgery: take your time and look at all options before going under the knife.

“I’d say never rush life,” Carmen said. “Especially beauty and self-care should be like an adventure where you can explore all the great modern options people have available, both surgical and non-surgical.
