The American Gigolo alum, 78, discussed her positive viewpoints on the term ‘aging’ and expressed that the word was rather ‘old-fashioned.’
The talented star further explained that with fashion and beauty, there is a constant ‘obsession with youth,’ but that the industry has the power to ‘help shift’ the negativity when it comes to age.

The model and actress stated to Byrdie that, ‘Whether it’s beauty or fashion, there’s an obsession with youth.’
‘But if we’re lucky, we’re all going to get old. I think it’s time to realize that anti-aging is an old-fashioned term,’ The Gambler star further expressed
Lauren explain that there was plenty of ‘research that shows that our attitudes have so much to do with how we age,’ and that we should not stress and worry about a particular wrinkle or spot.
Instead, the main focus should be, ‘on taking good care of our skin and ourselves, and the industry can help shift that conversation for the future.’

Lauren additionally talked about being the face of beauty brand, StriVectin, in her late 70s and what had drawn her to collaborate with the company, along with using its products.
‘I liked what they wanted to do and how they were shifting the conversation toward age positivity, instead of this idea of ‘anti’-aging, which never made much sense to me,’ she explained.
‘I was really impressed that they were smart enough to speak to women of my generation,’ the Malone actress further added.
Lauren revealed that a StriVectin product that she often uses is the Wrinkle Recode Line Transforming Melting Serum, which is priced at $89, according to the brand’s official website.
The star had previously opened up about age positivity earlier in May for her cover story with Harper’s Bazaar.
