“If we’re lucky, we’re all going to get old,” Lauren Hutton said of defying anti-ageing tropes in an interview with Byrdie.
At 78, Lauren Hutton continues to make her mark and has a message for all the naysayers.
Models and actresses break down “old fashioned” antiaging terminology. While chatting with Byrdie about their beauty rituals and the things that keep them grounded.
“Be it beauty or fashion, we are obsessed with young people. But if we’re lucky, we all get older. I think it’s time to admit that antiaging is an archaic term,” Hutton, StriVectin’s global ambassador, told the publication.
Instead of “worrying about those wrinkles or blemishes,” Hutton strongly believes in improving the conversation around ageing.
“We all need to focus on taking good care of our skin and ourselves. And this industry can help change that conversation for the future,” she says. Known for her bright smile, Hutton first made a splash in the modelling industry 50 years ago. When she sealed the Revlon show that made history as her biggest deal at the time – she also hoped her work with StriVectin would have an impact on all women. Age has its generation.
“I love what they’re trying to do and how they steer the conversation toward age positive rather than this ‘antiaging’ idea, which never made sense to me,” she told Byrdie why she chose to partner with a skincare brand. Adding she was “addicted.” “After studying the product and the research behind it.
When she first announced her partnership with StriVectin in 2019. Hutton opened up to the news to embrace her wrinkles, saying, “I stopped looking like a miniature Shar-Pei. The wrinkles will be there and they really are a sign of your life.”
She admits to having had Botox but has learned to embrace her natural beauty.
“I jumped back when I see myself because I have eyebrows that look like evil witches. Evaluate. I’ve taken collagen a few times. I have movies where I have to look like I’m in my 23s and 30s,” she admits.
