Cameron Diaz didn’t hold back when revealing why she still looks so young, offering a very X-rated insight into her beauty secrets.
Diaz, 52, is one of Hollywood’s biggest stars and frequently graces our screens with her stunning looks.
As a result, many fans often wonder how she still looks just as youthful as she did when starring in some of her biggest movies, like the Christmas classic The Holiday, which was filmed all the way back in 2006.
While it’s hard to guess her age based on her appearance, Diaz has shared the reason she believes she maintains such a glowing appearance.
In a 2010 interview with British Vogue, when Diaz was in her 30s, the actress explained that although she didn’t wish to return to her 25-year-old self, she had a few tips that helped her stay looking young.
She began by listing conventional advice, like regular exercise, maintaining a healthy diet, staying hydrated, and laughing often.
However, Diaz didn’t stop there.
The Charlie’s Angels star added another tip that raised a few eyebrows: “Lots of s**– yes, s**, we need that as human beings.”
While she didn’t specify exactly how much s** she considers ‘lots,’ Diaz made it clear that she believes it’s an essential part of staying youthful.
She stated with confidence: “It’s healthy, it’s natural, it’s what we are here to do!”
At first glance, it might seem like Diaz is joking, but there is scientific backing to her claim.
In 2021, holistic dermatologist Dr. Keira Barr spoke with Mind Body Green about the benefits of s** for maintaining youthful skin.
According to Dr. Barr, s** boosts estrogen production and in turn increases collagen production, skin thickness, and hyaluronic acid levels, all contributing to a more youthful and supple appearance.
Additionally, a study cited by Planned Parenthood found that participants who engaged in s** three times a week appeared seven to 12 years younger than their actual age.
While Diaz clearly believes in the power of a good s** life to keep her looking young, she also acknowledges that she would never rule out other forms of self-care, including cosmetic procedures.
She clarified: “I’m not doing anything right now but we’ll see. So far, so good. But I’ll never say never to anything.”
