If I had to make a list of celebrities to go to for trusted advice, Kate Winslet would be at the top. Known mostly for her work in iconic period dramas, the British actress has an air of sophistication and intelligence that can’t be denied. I would take her word on pretty much anything.
In the world of anti-aging products and treatments, it’s easy for celebrities and influencers to make us feel—whether intentionally or not—shameful about our aging skin and bodies. But, in a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar UK, Winslet shook up the aging narrative, sharing how she thinks aging and wrinkles are a beautiful part of life.
Kate Winslet Shares Her Positive Perspective on Aging
We’ve grown used to romanticizing a youthful, “snatched” appearance, but as Winslet told Harper’s Bazaar, she thinks that our natural, aging skin is not just normal; it’s beautiful. “Women get more beautiful as they get older, for sure,” she told the magazine. Continuing on, Winslet poignantly noted that, as we get older, “Our faces become more of who we are, they sit better on our bone structure, they have more life, more history.”
Similar to her perspective on aging, Winslet spoke about her inside-out approach to beauty as a whole, explaining that “I also have learned it’s important to take care of yourself from the inside—not just how you eat and look after yourself from a nutritional standpoint, but how you look after yourself from a mental wellness standpoint; how you feel about yourself emotionally, physically, your place within the world, how you walk through the world, how you live with integrity and sincerity.”
