She also shared some hacks to appearing younger on social media, explaining that she "tends to find the best light" rather than taking photographs in "harsh lighting," which can "cast dark shadows in different areas."

Amanda spoke candidly about scars on the right side of her face which aren't visible unless in "bright light." The update comes after the former Hairspray star announced the release of her debut podcast episode with her friend, Paul Sieminski, titled Amanda Bynes & Paul Sieminski: The Podcast.

She shared a snap on Instagram of herself with her co-host as well as their first guest and tattoo artist, Dahlia Moth. Earlier this year, Amanda was placed on psychiatric hold after she was found wandering the streets naked and alone, according to reports. The 36-year-old actress is said to have been seen walking near downtown Los Angeles in the early hours of the morning.

Amanda reportedly flagged down a passing car and told the driver that she was "coming down from a psychotic episode", before calling 911 for herself. She was reportedly then taken to a nearby police station where a mental health team decided to place her on a 5150 psychiatric hold.
