Actress Eva Mendes wants to "embrace" ageing and insists that she feels increasingly comfortable in her own skin as she gets older.

The `Hitch` actress has confessed that she isn't interested in appearing younger than she is and is more than happy to look her age as she feels comfortable in her own skin, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I want to embrace the process, not try to fight it. There is a lot of anti-ageing dialogue out there. But there are positive things that happen to your face, too. I feel better in my own skin the older I get and I want to grow with myself and work with people who celebrate that,` she said.

"I have an amazing make-up artist named Genevieve Herr who understands that as well. Our goal when I get ready for an event is never to make me look like I did when I was 26,` she added.
