However, Kara Tointon made sure that when she wasn't treading the boards she was giving her skin a break from wearing stage make-up.
The 28-year-old was seen on St Martins Lane in Covent Garden, London going au-naturel on Wednesday morning.
Kara is clearly trying to take care of herself as she was also seen with her small brown bag from Holland And Barrett.
Since leaving Albert Square Kara has found success on the stage and is currently starring in Relatively Speaking.
The red head appears in the comical farce as a woman named Ginny who finds herself trapped in a love triangle with her lover Greg, and a married man.
She is joined on stage by Max Bennett as Greg, Jonathan Coy as her married love interest Philip and The Good Life actress Felicity Kendal as Sheila.
