   Cindy Crawford does the anti-aging issue of Allure in nothing but shaving cream

Cindy Crawford may be 43 years old but, when it comes to looking good, she has that down to a science. The former model and actress is the cover girl for the latest issue of Allure magazine, the special anti-aging edition. In all fairness, it has been said, there is no one better to show that growing old does not mean losing one’s charms.

The anti-aging issue of the popular magazine is meant to help the average woman cope with the first most obvious signs of age, by offering tricks and tips as regards makeup, hair and fashion. At the same time, this issue is also meant to show the entire world, and not just ladies, that beauty knows no age limits – which is why the mag went for a Cindy Crawford that is wearing only some shaving cream on her body.

Nevertheless, she still manages to look good, wherefrom one can easily conclude that the message has got out loud and clear. For a woman to be able to pose like that at 43, after childbirth (Cindy has two children), and still look great is truly a statement as to how beauty knows no age. But that does not mean that the former model, who conquered the world with her smile and mole, is not taking steps to slow down the hands of time.

Since the issue of the mag focuses on tips and tricks to fight aging, Cindy also shares hers. The model says that the only two things that can ever reveal a woman’s true age are the hands and the décolletage, the neck area more specifically. The woman in question can look stunning from head to toe, but these two parts of her body will always betray her if she does not pay enough attention to them.

So, Cindy always makes sure that her hands and neck get the best treatment money can buy, though she does not mention what that may imply. “My hands and my decollete. In LA, there are 65-year-old women walking around in Juicy sweatpants, and from the back, you’d think they were 20. But when you see their hands or their neck, you know.” Cindy explains.
