When most people think of MacDowell, the term "ageless" beauty may come to mind. As she tells ABC, it's no easy task being beautiful. "I have some flaws, like anybody," she said of showing off her natural body without retouching. "I have not had plastic surgery. My face is my face and, you know, at this point, I don't see any need. I'm kind of fine with where I am."
But at 58 and looking so youthful, MacDowell admits she does get a "pinch" tired of talking about aging. She claims her beauty routine is rather simple and includes using coconut oil, homemade salt scrubs and other oils along with a steam shower. And it seems she's not strict with food either. "I love chocolate," the actress beamed. "I know that's my weakness and I have to have some self-control."
On aging gracefully, MacDowell told Town & Country (via Daily Mail), "There is sexy, and then there's tacky sexy. When you're young, you can get away with tacky sexy. I mean, it's not even tacky when you're young. But when you get older, it's just tacky."
As the industry continues to obsess over youth and beauty, she's quick to remind everyone that she's legendary. "I am the original face of L'Oréal," she quipped to London's UK Express. "But you want to know my secret? I always say that kindness is the greatest beauty that you can have. Angry people are not beautiful. On top of that, I take really good care of myself. I love being physical and I want to stay that way. I really want to be able to hike when I'm in my eighties."
