Seeing how flawless celebrities look all the time makes most of us lose our confidence about our own physical appearance. But then we think of all the stylists and makeup artists who work for them and when we stumble upon paparazzi photos showing their “true” faces, we realize it’s sometimes all for the public.
The good thing is that many famous people tend to go makeup free so that the world can see they are just normal people like us under all the glamour. Among the celebrities who posted no make up selfies recently are Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Aniston.
Goldie Hawn, on the other hand, believes that Hollywood standards aren’t that easy to fight against. This beauty, who will be 75 this year, says, “You think you’re going to fight the system? You think you’re going to prove to Hollywood when you hit 45 that you’re still a sexy, viable object? No. There’s a certain reality. Does it make me angry? No. I’m not an angry person. I’m not a militant person. Anger doesn’t get you anywhere. It’s not productive.”
Over the years, Hawn never lost the status of America’s sweetheart. She’s been on the screen for a very long time and besides her talent, it was her distinctive blonde hair and her natural looks that made her one of our all time favorites.
Hawn, who is a grandma of six, was featured on the cover of People Magazine’s “Beautiful Issue” and everyone agrees she looks as stunning as ever.
Speaking of her looks, she says how she learned how to love herself as she took parts in more and more movies. Of course, she doesn’t expect everyone else to love the way she looks and says, ”Some people think that you’re beautiful; some people think you’re ugly. They voice a lot of opinions, so you then have to become resilient to it – and to do that you have to learn and to understand who you are and what you really think about yourself. And that’s where I think I learnt about my inner beauty.”
Some time ago, she was in the spotlight because of a photo taken by the paparazzi showing her without any make up on in broad daylight. A lot of people said she looked unrecognizable. Others praised her for her carefree attitude.
Hawn says she takes great care of her skin. ”One of the most important things of all is sleep. Getting enough sleep is so important – as are things like ingesting good oils, making sure you keep your face soft by removing dead skin, and using sun guard every day. I also take the time to really massage my creams into my face.”
“There are great creams out there. Creams with this and creams with that, but I ingest oil,” said Hawn revealing her beauty secret is olive oil. “The skin is our biggest organ, and as you get older, you get drier. I ingest two tablespoons of olive oil before bed and massage my face.”
So, according to what she told Pop Sugar, her secret is in applying two tablespoons of olive oil on the face before going to bed and massaging it.
In an interview with BE Ageless, Hawn said, “I don’t know if I’d call it beauty, or more just ‘taking care of.’ I wash my face every night and I massage it for about three minutes and then I put creams on my face and I go to sleep. And then I wake up in the morning and do the same thing!”
She continued, “I put on a little sun guard in the morning when I remember and the rest of it is just making sure that you’re hydrated and that you eat a lot of oil-based foods or oils, and smile a lot.”
I think Hawn looks awesome the way she is. She has a great life, a rich career, and a partner who loves her unconditionally. She and Kurt Russel have been together for almost four decades but never got married, and according to her, that’s the secret to a long relationship.
The two played in some films together, including the romantic comedy Overboard. Recently, they starred in The Christmas Chronicles in the roles of Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus.
Makeup or no, Goldie Hawn is a real beauty. You just have to love her!
