Salma Hayek uses this £27 product to cover up her stray greys (and it's not hair dye)
At 58 years old, Salma Hayek Pinault is on a mission to age naturally and embrace what, as she says, 'the years have gifted me'. While sharing her beauty secrets with Vogue, the actress explained, 'I don't want to look overproduced. Everybody is too overproduced – and they look gorgeous – but that's not the look I want for myself.' Hayek Pinault admits she relies on non-invasive treatments, like Ultherapy Prime, to tighten her skin, but she does not use fillers. Instead, she uses skincare and make-up techniques – most of which she picked up from her grandmother 'who was obsessed with beauty and knew all kinds of tricks' and 'made her own creams' – to plump, sculpt and lift her face. Her make-up routine doesn't end with her face either. Towards the end of the video, Hayek Pinault reveals she does not dye her hair. But she does cover up some of her stray greys with mascara. 'I do not dye my hair. But if you choose not to dye your hair and you have [greys], like I do... I use mascara,' she says as she swipes Benefit's Roller Lash through her hairline. 'This doesn't only kind of cover them – and I don't want to cover them all – but it keeps them in place.' Hayek Pinault concludes her Vogue video with a final piece of advice. 'You have to change your makeup and beauty routine as you get older,' she urges. If you don't like the way your make–up looks, 'change the make-up because maybe what worked before is not working now.' 'It's good to be adventurous and creative and try to have fun while you're doing it,' the actress adds.

Sarah Jessica Parker: Women don't flat line at 50 or 60
Sarah Jessica Parker wants to remind the public that women "don't flat line at 50 or 60". The 60-year-old actress has reprised the role of Carrie Bradshaw to star in the latest season of 'And Just Like That...', the 'Sex and the City' revival series, and Sarah is determined to spread an inspiring message through the TV show. She told Sky News: "You don't flat line at 50 or 60. "People are living pretty colourful, interesting, exciting lives and they have influence and authority. They're trying new things. They're leaving marriages. They're saying goodbye to kids. They're starting new jobs, they're leaving jobs, and they're getting married, they are widows, there's just endless amounts to talk about and it should be." Kristin Davis, her co-star, also hopes to challenge certain taboos and stereotypes for women in their 50s and 60s. The 60-year-old actress actually thinks there should be more shows like 'And Just Like That...' on TV. She said: "It is insane that there aren't more shows like us, you know? I'm hoping that there will be. "It's very interesting that somehow women, especially at a certain age, you're just supposed to just vanish. I don't know where we're supposed to be and that just makes no sense." Meanwhile, Kristin recently confessed that she hates to be "out of sync" with Sarah. The actress has learned some important life lessons from her 'Sex and the City' co-star, explaining that she always has to "check in" with the actress before a red-carpet event. During an episode of her 'Are You a Charlotte?' podcast, Kristin explained: "I need to know what Sarah Jessica's gonna wear to our different events, because she might be wearing something that is, like, way dressier than what I pictured in my mind, and I hate to be out of sync with her." Kristin - who plays Charlotte York in 'And Just Like That...' - actually loves getting "dressed up" for work. She explained: "There's a part of me always, like, 'Oh my gosh, why do I have to dress up so much all the time?' But on the other hand, it's fun to dress up. "And in life, I really don't dress up at all. So when we haven't worked for a while, then we go back to work and we get to get in all the clothes, I love it so much, because I don't do it that much."

The secret to 70s sex symbol's age-defying figure as she proves she can still drop jaws at 68 after rare red carpet appearance
It's more than 40 years since Bo Derek became an instant sex symbol after bursting onto the big screen opposite Dudley Moore in comedy classic 10. The now-famed image of the lithe actress, clad in a gold high cut swimsuit, her hair in beaded braids, running along the beach became many a teenage boy's pin-up of choice after the 1979 hit. Now aged 68, it seems the Californian beauty has lost little of her youthful lustre - looking far younger than her 68 years on Wednesday. Bo proved she still has an appearance most women would envy as she returned to the red carpet for a rare public appearance beside her husband John Corbett this week. The actress exuded a youthful glow as she posed in a stylish monochrome trouser suit that accentuated her still willowy frame at a photo-call in New York for season three of the Sex And The City spin-off And Just Like That..., which stars Bo's partner. Bo has long claimed that she shuns plastic surgery, because she is happy to age gracefully - and instead, her age-defying figure has been credited to a healthy diet and her active life on her ranch in California. She previously admitted that she sometimes considers anti-ageing procedures if she sees photographs of herself looking 'scary' - but simply reminds herself that Botox and plastic surgery can often change a person's facial expression for the worse. The actress said: 'When you look at women who have had plastic surgery, they have lost something - usually an expression, something unique to their faces. 'They start to look the same. I've always admired the women who didn't do it, so I have to keep reminding myself I'm one of them and not the other. 'When I look at some photographs of myself, I think, "Oh, I look alright." But, in others, I scare myself; I wish I had my old skin,' admitted the Golden Globe nominee in 2009. In a magazine interview in 2008, she added: 'I think we all have this image that we're going to be the hold-out and show what [someone in their 50's] really looks like, but I could wake up tomorrow and say, "Okay, enough of this." 'Right now, I look at my lines and I think, 'Well, shoot! They're marks of a lot of fun.' More recently, a source told Closer that 'she's still quite the beauty and dropping jaws everywhere she goes.' The insider added: 'She's among a rare breed who refuses to succumb to cosmetic nip/tucks, and she gets very prickly at even the suggestion she's had anything "done". 'She just takes good care of herself, eats a mostly vegetarian diet, limits carbs, and seems happy in her marriage to John [Corbett], which accounts for a lot. 'She's a homebody who takes care of her ranch and cleans the house herself, tends to her horses and pets. That's her exercise. She also stays toned by riding her horses and swimming. Bo's the envy of every actress in Hollywood.' Bo proved she still has an appearance most women would envy as she returned to the red carpet for a rare public appearance beside her husband John Corbett (pictured right) this week But surprisingly, the ageing process hasn't been easy for the classic beauty. The actress, originally named Mary Cathleen Collins, talked to CBS in May 2015 about growing older. 'Aging is really hard, and it's tough,' she said. 'Bette Davis was right; it's not for sissies, it really isn't.' 'And there is a certain expectation. I get credit on one hand for not having had a facelift and then on the other hand it's, "Oh my God, why doesn't she do something?" So you're just torn. I just have to keep busy, have other interests, and try not to think about it.' The former model's career in acting started when she auditioned for the legendary director, John Derek. The director, who was 30 years her senior was so taken with the beautiful blonde that he divorced his wife, Dynasty star Linda Evans, to start an affair with her. The controversial couple had to move to Germany for two years to avoid John being charged with statutory rape as Bo was only sixteen at the time. They moved back to the US shortly after her eighteenth birthday and married soon after. Despite the huge disparity in years and Bo's young age, they remained married right up until John's death from cardiovascular disease in 1998. John was a dashing romantic whom she 'adored until he drew his last breath,' she told the Mail On Sunday in an interview shortly after his death. 'Most people fall in love, but they don't have love in return, and I had it for 25 years.' Bo (pictured left, in 2020, and right, in 2024) has long claimed that she shuns plastic surgery, because she is happy to age gracefully - and instead, her age-defying figure has been credited to a healthy diet and her active life on her ranch in California Bo struggled to get over the loss of her husband and threw herself into work and indulged her love of horses. She vowed off dating again and remained single for four years before meeting her second husband, My Greek Fat Wedding and Sex and the City actor, John Corbett. The pair - who live on a 110-acre ranch in California's Santa Ynez Valley - began dating in 2002 after meeting on a blind date. They decided to get married in December 2020 after their romantic relationship of 18 years. Before she met her current beau, Bo thought she would never find love again. However she explained that when she met Corbett, she felt 'just an attraction, a comfort. He makes me laugh all the time. He's full of life, full of joy,' via Fox News. Although John Derek directed several of her films - including Tarzan, The Ape Man and Bolero - it was Blake Edwards who directed 10, which made her a star. Amid a cast that included Edwards' wife Julie Andrews as well as Dudley Moore, Bo made a splash while strutting her stuff across the beach in a swimsuit. 'It was one of those moments where a fairy godmother comes in, taps you on the forehead with her magic wand and changes everything,' Bo reflected in 2020. 'People say I'm an icon, whatever that means. I wouldn't call myself that. I don't take it personally. But I played a part that certainly became iconic for sure.' Bo was wed to actor and director John Derek; seen in 1983. The couple tied the knot in 1976, marking Derek's fourth marriage, and the lovebirds remained wed until his death in 1998 John Derek was 30 years Bo's senior and became smitten with her when she was 16 years old acting in his film Fantasies in Greece. Although their movies together were not taken seriously, the couple lived in luxury at a ranch until his death at the age of 71. 'I've always been a fairly optimistic person, but it was a huge change, an enormous loss. The air just gets sucked out of the room when you lose your partner. So I wallowed in that for a while,' Bo told Fox News. 'I didn't expect to end up with anyone again. Some women want to pair up again right away. I didn't. I remember consciously fashioning myself after some girlfriends that I have [who] are single and led very full, fantastic lives with friends and family and projects that they do. And that gave them happiness.' Corbett told Today a few years ago that he met Bo after his agent friend Norby Walters fixed them up as Oscar party dates. The couple secretly tied the knot in 2020 after 18 years of dating. They kept the news quiet until the following year, when John let slip in an interview on The Talk: 'Around Christmas time, we got married. Bo and I got married. 'We got married, and this is probably the first time – we're pretty private people, we didn't make an announcement... 'All our friends and family knew. But this is the first time either one of us have said something publicly about it, because really we haven't had the opportunity. 'After 20 years we decided to get married. We didn't want 2020 to be that thing that everyone looks back at and hated… let's get one nice thing out of it'.

I Tried to See How I'll Age Using AI. It Wasn't as Bad as I Thought
There's nothing more attractive than someone who wears their age well. Society idolizes youth and normalizes young people getting preventative treatments to "stay young," but some argue it's having the opposite effect -- making 20-year-olds look 30. I'm one of those people who believe in aging gracefully. Fillers are frightening to me, but will I regret not getting them when I'm 50? I thought I'd ask artificial intelligence, with all that it can do -- I've already used it to change my hair color, predict my future baby's face and create headshots. Surely it can show me a realistic version of my aged face. A quick search for "old age face app" in the App Store led me to FaceApp, which has been around since way before AI was cool. The Cyprus-based FaceApp Technology launched its app in 2017, allowing you to transform your face with old and young filters. FaceApp is free, but it has feature limitations. For premium filters, no watermarks and faster processing, you can upgrade to FaceApp Pro for $10 per month, or $5 per month if you pay for the 12 months in full. There's a one-week free trial available. I'm happy to pay $10 to save me a lifetime with wrinkles, but I started with the free version. Getting started with FaceApp AI I was in no state to take a selfie, so I chose a few photos from my camera roll. Given AI apps are usually picky with photo quality, I selected four to upload. Once I uploaded the images, the FaceApp watermark was instantly added to each one, given that I was on the free plan. The features were easy to find, with a simple banner of prompts to select from. I could change my face size, skin, expression, hair, gender and age. I clicked on Age and it had eight face prompts available, from young to teen to old. I picked "cool old" first to soften the blow. Baby steps. First impression? I'm wearing too much makeup. Oh, and I look like my grandma.

Me now (far left), the AI-generated "cool old" version (middle) and AI's "old old" version (right). FaceApp/Amanda Smith/CNET What this one nailed was the vertical line between my eyebrows and my crow's feet. My dad has these lines and he's 70. He's also got a full head of hair, so it's good to see my AI old age filter with fab hair. On to the third try. This one's not bad at all. Me now (far left), "cool old" (middle) and "old old" (right). FaceApp/Amanda Smith/CNET On to the lucky last. Aging with that hair? Not bad at all. Me now (far left), "cool old" (middle) and "old old" (right). FaceApp/Amanda Smith/CNET FaceApp privacy concerns FaceApp reassures its users that it doesn't use any of your photos or videos for any reason other than giving you the ability to edit them. While it uses Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services to process and edit photos and videos, your multimedia is only temporarily cached on those cloud services while they're being edited and encrypted with a key stored locally on your own device. They remain in the cloud for 48 hours at most -- meaning FaceApp and its third-party partners do not keep any of your photos or videos, either before or after they've been edited. AI advice on aging While it's fun to see how AI predicts I'll age, I wanted to take it further to get feedback on what I can do about it. Can ChatGPT tell me my problem areas and suggest a skin care regimen? I opened ChatGPT and uploaded the four old-age images from FaceApp with this prompt: "Here are four AI-generated old-age filter photos of me. This is how AI predicts I'll age. Based on the visible aging in these photos, identify the problem areas and provide a personalized regimen that I can do now to avoid my skin aging to this extent. I don't want generic advice." ChatGPT gave me the standard skin care routine advice but did emphasize a vitamin C serum in the morning to brighten the skin and vitamin A in the evening. For preventive treatments, it suggested microneedling, laser therapy, chemical peels and Botox. I asked ChatGPT if I needed Botox or if good skin care would suffice. Screenshot by Amanda Smith/CNET ChatGPT suggested I see how my skin responds to good skin care over the next two years. If dynamic lines deepen, it's time for Botox. Ouch. Given that I'm nontox obsessed, I asked ChatGPT if there's a natural alternative to Botox. It gave me some options such as facial acupuncture, natural wrinkle relaxers (bakuchiol, argireline and aloe vera), a collagen-rich diet and noninvasive treatments like microcurrent devices and LED light therapy. I asked what the most natural cosmetic procedures are, and I got this list: To summarize, ChatGPT suggested three top non-tox treatments based on my photos: Screenshot by Amanda Smith/CNET The verdict on AI predicting how you'll age It's handy to be able to use AI to get a sense of how I'll age, then put it into a chatbot to talk through preventive strategies. While AI image generators might be way off, it can help with the decisions I make now in how I care for my skin and hair -- though you should definitely speak to a dermatologist before making any decisions. Maybe I just need to age with dignity and change my mindset, not my face. Hopefully by the time I'm 60, society will have caught up to the fact that there's beauty to celebrate at every age.
