Supermodel Lauren Hutton slams ‘anti-aging’ term, society’s ‘obsession with youth’
'American Gigolo' star argues 'anti-aging is an old-fashioned term'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Model and actress Lauren Hutton is speaking out against the term "anti-aging."
The 78-year-old got candid about society’s "obsession with youth," and revealed she wished the beauty industry would see aging in a positive light.
"If we're lucky, we're all going to get old. I think it's time to realize that anti-aging is an old-fashioned term," Hutton said during an interview with beauty tabloid Byrdie.

Hutton’s comments come on the heels of her signing on as a brand ambassador for the skincare brand StriVectin.
The "American Gigolo" alum was thrilled to collaborate with the brand, as its beauty mission aligns with her positive views on aging.

"'I liked what they wanted to do and how they were shifting the conversation toward age positivity, instead of this idea of 'anti'-aging, which never made much sense to me," she pointed out to the media outlet.

"I was really impressed that they were smart enough to speak to women of my generation."
After being the face of the popular beauty brand Revlon six decades ago, with her wide gap-tooth smile, Hutton revealed the one skincare product she can’t live without.

"When it comes to cosmetic procedures, there’s a real thin line you tread. There are people who I find hard to look at today. Their faces don’t look like the people I once knew," she said, according to Harper’s Bazaar.

"The only beauty ritual I have is washing my face with soap and water. It’s horrifying. Then I’ll put on the StriVectin S.T.A.R. Light Retinol Night Oil. It does really good things for your skin. I also have an aloe plant. I cut the leaves open, and I put it all over my face and décolletage."
