Here at FemaleFirst we have noticed the growing amount of celebrities who have reached a certain age and don't appear to be getting any older.
The usual wrinkles, brown spots and greying hair are natural processes for women over the age of forty, but it seems that women like Kylie Minogue, Jennifer Aniston and Madonna are somehow defying the aging process.
With their fresh faces, youthful wardrobes and glossy locks, anyone of our top female celebrities could pass for a twenty year-old!.
They may have reached an endless version of middle-age, but the phenomenon to stay young isn't just limited to celebrities. Over recent years weapons to tackle anti-aging have rapidly improved. Nowadays you can walk into any chemist and find all kinds of lotions and creams to firm, fill and smooth any signs of aging.
Whereas non-invasion procedures have also become increasingly popular. We may not have the budget of Madonna, but we can now have botox, fillers, volumisers, peels and all sorts of treatments to have a complexion of a thirty year-old way into our fifties.
Apparently being plumped up, pushed out and perky are key to looking youthful, and unsurprisingly that is how many celebrities are staying in their twenties way past forty!
Jenifer Aniston is 39 years-old. Kylie is 40 years-old. Madonna is 50 years-old. Demi Moore is 46 years-old.
In 2007 the British public spent nearly £900 million on cosmetic surgery but by how much has that increased? Profits are still being calculated but it has surely increased.
A study conducted in America found that components to a young and beautiful face are high cheekbones, a smooth forehead, a fine jaw line and a full pout. These are now the characteristics asked for by many heading under the knife.
But surely our love of celebrity has fuelled peoples intent on looking young. Some women are starting treatments, in the form of anti-wrinkle creams and moisturisers, as young as twenty.
We may wonder how Madonna stays looking so young and how Demi maintains her immaculate image, but realistically we have to think about how much time and money these women must spend working out, eating a grapefruit a day and paying out for miracle treatments.
There is no denying that they look great and we will be ever so enviable because we don't in any form look a single bit like them, but that's because we're not meant to.
If we all looked like celebrities it wouldn't be as satisfying to point out their cellulite or flabby bottoms, would it?
