Why Cameron Diaz Is Our Hero When It Comes To Aging

by Amy Lee

When we think of a Hollywood starlet who defies aging like a boss, Cameron Diaz immediately comes to mind. The actress, who turns 44 today, has been charming us with her megawatt smile and infectious energy since she stole our hearts in movies like There’s Something About Mary and My Best Friend’s Wedding, solidifying her position in A-list territory. Throughout her decades in the industry, she’s delivered countless breathtaking red-carpet looks, not to mention amazing street style. However, we have to gush about her recent fresh take on beauty, which may be our favorite of all. Embracing her age in the most au naturel manner, she’s been ditching any apparent makeup for a clean, glowy canvas with just a sweep of sheer gloss and mascara. While most ladies in their post-30s feel the need to mask signs of aging, Cameron takes the celebratory approach as championed in her Longevity Bookto stay youthful in body, mind and spirit. Taking her 40s by storm, she is setting the best example and uplifting the notion of aging for women. We salute her.
