Gwyneth Paltrow has admitted her days of being a pampered celebrity are over.

The stunning actress, who has a one-year-old daughter, Apple, with husband Chris Martin, says she has given up spending hours on expensive beauty treatments since becoming a mother.

She said: "I have a child and she takes up my time. I don't spend the time I used to when I was single having a massage or a facial."

"I do things when it's an emergency: when I look like a man, I have a wax. It makes me feel too guilty to spend time away from her doing something that's so superficial."

The Oscar-winning beauty also says she doesn't make a huge effort when she goes to parties - even though she knows she will get photographed not looking her best.

She added to Britain's Sunday Times Style magazine: "The other night, I had to go to a Stella McCartney party. Stella was naughty and said, 'Yeah there's going to be a couple of photographers there,' so I arrived and there was a bigger press line than for the premiere of my new movie."

"I didn't have any hair and make-up. I'd just done it myself - some concealer, tinted moisturizer, blusher, mascara and that was it."
