I never tried to hide my age, it was a matter of pride for me. But it does not mean that everyone you meet needs to talk about his age. A woman at 50 also looks like at 40, and this is her advantage.
This is explained to many: caring for yourself, fashion, lifestyle and the fact that women are still working. Women today have more freedom than they used to - they live with young men who are much younger than them, women wear short skirts without having beautiful knees in the world. They have learned to make better use of make-up, better follow their appearance.
I have always been very attentive to cosmetics, I began to use her novelties, recently. I signed a contract with the well-known firm "Yves Saint Laurent", and I am associated with this company with friendly relations.
It's not enough just to have good skin, you need to learn how to keep it. For me, the most important thing is that I was able to do in the United States, more than a decade ago, I quit smoking, using hypnosis.
I watch my skin constantly and never face the sun. It's cheating if my face seems tanned. The dermatologist said that it is better to cheat than because of 2 months of sunburn, the skin will lose 2 years of life. It is necessary to monitor the skin "from within".
Women who claim that they do not give a damn about age are lying. You can not remain indifferent to aging. It is necessary to fight with age. I do not have the same energy. To restore strength, I need more time. You can not do without looking back horrible - do not sleep, have fun, work.
As an actress and mother, I am very attentive to the appearance of my daughter Chiara. She has snow-white stunning skin, in the past such beauties were famous for beauties. I tried to protect the skin from the sun. After all, in fact, it's not mother who teaches her daughter how to take care of herself, but her daughter takes over my gestures. And in this we are accomplices.
I would not want Chiara to be like me. And without that it's a heavy burden, being a child of famous parents. I am very happy that my daughter Chiara is like her father, because she bears his name.
On the street, I want to be less visible. I always feel fixedly at myself. Sometimes they are painful, sometimes flattering my self-esteem. But when I'm in bad shape, I do not want people to look at me.
My father had four daughters, and he simply adored them. Our mother was a beautiful woman, but her parents never tried to inspire us with the idea that beauty is a kind of dignity. I had a complex in my childhood, it seemed to me that I was very thin, and like a skinny cat, I was embarrassed about this, and was afraid to appear in a swimsuit.
In the life of an actress, beauty is the main trump card, and you get used to it very quickly. And great importance is the ability to please, charm. It seems that I always blonde, but by nature I'm brown. When my son was born at the age of 19, for two years I was a blonde, and I did not do it for a movie, I just liked it. Of the spirits I prefer Gerlen, I remain faithful to the cosmetics of Yves Saint Laurent. I smell often with his perfume - "Paris". I love flowers, smell of iris and really like roses. I created my own perfume in the United States, but to my great regret they are no longer released.
There is a make-up for photos, for movies, but in everyday life, I use them moderately. The main thing is the mouth and eyebrows, they define the facial expression. I do not paint eyelids, if only with a golden-beige color.
I try to lead an active and healthy lifestyle, together with women in the gym I do gymnastics, I like to walk. I spend my weekends outside the city, and there I go to the sauna, which helps me to cleanse the skin and the entire body. It has become a habit of mine.
In a day I try to sleep at least 8 hours, because sleep is an indispensable thing to preserve its beauty. At the Institute of Yves Saint Laurent, I get a pedicure, a manicure, a massage.
Time leaves its marks on the face, but it is the body that requires great effort and attention. When I stopped smoking, I struggle with excess weight.
After a vacation, I always go on a diet. I do not eat any desserts, although I love them, I do without sugar. Between meals I drink a lot of water, I prefer a glass of wine at the table.
When the next shooting begins, then I arrange a day off, I drink fruit juices or drink vegetable broth. I prefer fruits, I eat little meat.
In my purse I wear lipstick, drops for eyes, a powder box and a bottle of perfume.
Now it is important to look natural, but the natural look requires a lot of work and time, the natural look does not come by itself.
We have learned the secrets of beauty from Catherine Deneuve, and as she says, as you age, you need not stop caring for your skin and use makeup less, in order to be in good shape and be beautiful, all this requires a lot of effort.
