The star says she enjoys the feeling of 'clean skin' and shares her secret for a natural dewy finish in PEOPLE's Beautiful issue, out now
star has seen first-hand how the world’s perception of beauty is changing. Barbie’s blonde hair, blue eyes and slim figure represented the perfect woman when she was growing up in the early ’80s, but today, more “body types, skin colors, hair colors and cultures are included in that ideal,” the actress tells PEOPLE.
“When I was in my formative years, we were told that beauty was basically a Barbie doll; by the time my daughter was in her formative years, that had changed tremendously,” Paltrow says. “And I’ve always thought that’s real progression. When I think about me being a kid in the early ’80s and what I was shown as examples is much different than what she was shown. As we continue to become more inclusive around our ideas of what is aspirational beauty, we all win.
Reflecting on what she’s learned about beauty over the years, the star says, “The more you know yourself and accept yourself, the more you accept who you are and what you look like wholeheartedly.” “I always think there’s sort of an irony that when you really accept yourself — physically — is when you have gray hair,” she shares. “I do think there’s a truth to that.”
