Updated September 2, 2021

We all love to see celebrities without makeup — sometimes it's because we want to see if these impossibly beautiful people are just as beautiful without a makeup team behind them, but usually because we love to see that celebrities are just like us.

Helen Mirren has proven that she is like us, with a good heart to boot.

She's also always gorgeously elegant! Almost nobody else exudes the kind of class and style that Helen is famous for, and it turns out that that's not just due to her impeccable makeup.

Helen shared this gorgeous make-up free selfie to her Instagram page, and for a good reason.

"In return for this pic of me literally first thing in the morning, please donate to the intensive care support," the legendary actress wrote alongside this shot of her looking beautiful as always.

She also included a link to donate to this worthy cause.

Helen shared the link to this donation site which states that intensive care looks "after the sickest patients that need ventilation – breathing for people when they can’t breathe for themselves."

The site also states that up to 11% of people diagnosed with COVID-19 will need intensive care.
