Hollywood actress Jamie Lee Curtis has slammed the now common use of Botox and plastic surgery, insisting that women should embrace the ageing process instead of attempting to look younger amid the near impossible beauty standards of today.
The Halloween star, 63, has shared her regret about undergoing cosmetic procedures in the past, admitting that she feels as though she has let her daughters down by setting a bad example and altering her natural looks.
Jamie has warned her daughters Annie, 35, and Ruby, 26, not to 'mess with their faces' and make the same mistakes as she did as she now declares herself 'pro-ageing'.
"I did plastic surgery. I put Botox in my head. Does Botox make the big wrinkle go away? Yes. But then you look like a plastic figurine," she told.
During an appearance on Today, Jamie-Lee then slammed the celebrities who have made anti-aging a global trend as fans scramble to keep up with the endless anti-aging products, cosmetic procedures, and Botox.
"Walk a mile in my shoes. I have done it. It did not work. And all I see is people now focusing their life on that," the actress said.
The much-loved actress previously slammed the obsession around anti-aging and how it has completely 'warped' the beauty standards of today.
"The current trend of fillers and procedures, and this obsession with filtering, and the things that we do to adjust our appearance on Zoom are wiping out generations of beauty," she stated to Fast Company.
"Once you mess with your face, you can't get it back."
The actress is now pro-ageing after she underwent a cosmetic procedure in 1989, which she claims, ruined her face.
At the time, Jamie had fat taken from underneath my eyes after a cameraman made comments about her 'puffy eyes' on the set of Perfect in 1985.
She also got liposuction, as well as Botox.
Jamie hated the outcome of the procedure and it also kickstarted her addiction to Vicodin – a prescription opioid meant to relieve severe pain.
"I tried plastic surgery and it didn't work. It got me addicted to Vicodin. I'm 22 years sober now."
