Happy birthday, Sarah Jessica Parker! The American actress and television producer has turned 59. In January 2023, the world-renowned actress, who still looks elegant and youthful, opened up about aging and how she copes with it.

Being a public figure, Parker has faced scrutiny from the public throughout her life. She has never been one to obsess over every flaw in her appearance and finds it peculiar that others are more concerned about her looks than she is.

As Parker has grown older, she has observed people fixating on minor imperfections and making a fuss over them, while she remains unfazed by the commotion. With age, Parker has prioritized comfort over appearance, a mindset not always shared by those around her.

Meanwhile, the “Hocus Pocus” star had no idea what the commotion was about. As Parker grew older, she came to prioritize comfort over appearance, a perspective not always shared by those around her.

Parker has decided not to cover up her imperfections. The actress opts not to color her hair, citing that it consumes too much of her time. On top of that, the “Honeymoon in Vegas” star said she prefers keeping her skin without any makeup when she’s not working.

She expressed frustration with the misogynistic chatter surrounding women’s appearances, particularly regarding gray hair.

Given the extensive hours actors spend working and the heavy layers of makeup they often wear, Parker’s preference for maintaining clear skin off-set is entirely understandable. She also expressed her enjoyment of going makeup-free, stating,

“[Not wearing makeup] helps to let my skin breathe when I’m not working. The second reason is that I feel much more like myself when I’m not wearing makeup.”

Parker offers two pieces of advice regarding healthy skin. Firstly, she suggests not picking at blemishes and imperfections. Instead, she opts for topical solutions and supplements her routine with vitamins and a healthy diet, emphasizing the importance of simplicity. She never gets carried away with products.

Although many people laud Parker for wearing her hair in its natural gray, she admitted she refrains from coloring it simply because doing so is a constant hassle. When a photo of Parker with gray hair circulated widely on the internet, people consistently praised her decision not to dye her hair.
