No one can deny how stunning Mariska Hargitay

looks every Thursday night on Law and Order: SVU

. But her methods for how she takes care of her skin

seem to have her followers scratching their heads.

Earlier this month, the NBC actress shared a quick look at her self-care routine. In the photo she posted on Instagram, folks spotted the 59 year old wearing a blue terry bathrobe while lying down on the floor of what appears to be her bedroom. What really made the picture stand out though was the mask she wore, which covered her entire face and emitted red light.

“Me time,” she succinctly captioned on February 5, while also adding the hashtags “self-care Sunday,” “facial” and “a girl’s got to do what a girl’s got to do.”
When Mariska’s skincare regimen began circulating on the internet, Law and Order: SVU fans immediately began reacting to it on Instagram. Among the many responses, many didn’t understand what she was doing in the name of beauty.

“What in the Guardians of the Galaxy is going on here?” one person exclaimed in the comments. “No seriously, another post is needed to explain what is happening here. Is it safe? Worth it? Does it work?” a different user noted. “What is that? It looks very unnatural,” another added.
