14 DAY TRIAL // The 41-year-old recently opened up about her beauty secrets and she said in an interview that Botox is definitely off her beauty regime. Cameron now wants to age naturally and gracefully.
In fact, she's so over Botox, that the very mention of the word will send her into a frenzy. “The word 'anti-aging' or 'reverse aging' is just, it makes me crazy every time I see it. It really does. There's no such thing as anti-aging. We're all aging, period. There's no stopping that,” she says.
Cameron recently penned a book called “The Body Book,” which is in stores now, that also preaches the same kind of message.
She claims she was tempted into using Botox and other anti-aging products but they all left a bad taste in her mouth, or rather, on her face.
“I've tried it before, where it was like a little tiny touch of something. It changed my face in such a weird way that I was like 'No, I don't want to be like that' - I'd rather see my face aging than a face that doesn't belong to me at all,” the actress protests.
It's weird to see Cameron Diaz talking about such things, when she's still considered to be one of the hottest actresses in Hollywood today. But Cameron has been struggling with something far worse than wrinkles, as she uncovered her adult acne problem.
"It was really challenging to cover them up for the cameras," she explains. "It was awkward and embarrassing and frustrating, and I always felt really bad about myself.” She admits to trying to get rid of her acne with medication and make-up but nothing seemed to work for her for a long time.
Now she considers her old age a privilege rather than something to be ashamed of, and urges other women to do the same. Diaz explains to women that not being able to maintain your youthful looks forever does not constitute a failure, it's just the way life is.
“They think that they failed somehow by not staying 25. This is crazy to me because my belief is that it’s a privilege to get older – not everybody gets to get older,” Cameron concludes.
