Paulina Porizkova, 58, gets candid with fans about aging in a makeup-free Instagram video.
The former supermodel compared her “58-year-old face” with professional makeup to “the same face” with no makeup.
“I feel like my face has gained character even as it’s lost its youthful prettiness,” she explained.
Just when you thought Paulina Porizkova was done posting stunning makeup-free selfies, the 58-year-old supermodel is back on Instagram, baring it all once more. This time, Porizkova opted to post a video showcasing her “58-year-old face” with and “without makeup” to discuss her thoughts on embracing aging and self-love.
Porizkova begins the video by sharing her “58-year-old face without fillers, Botox, or surgery in good light with professional, gorgeous makeup ” before transitioning to “the same face without makeup.”
In the caption, Porizkova opened up about anti-aging cosmetic procedures, sharing the interventions she’s taken. She noted that she has used lasers to refine her complexion and has worn sunscreen “religiously” beginning in her “early 20s.”
While she’s tried lasers, she says she has not opted for injectables. “I have chosen not to put anything ‘into’ my face—but even with the fanciest creams and lasers that promise to restore some collagen—I am aging,” she explained. “Some days, I like it. I feel like my face has gained character even as it’s lost its youthful prettiness. And it seems a fair trade-off. Other days, (and this is mostly only if I do a photoshoot), I have to gulp some self-acceptance. I have changed. Fortunately, this change also means being wiser. And bolder. So I keep gulping self-acceptance.”
She’s leaning into the changes, no matter what others say. “Outside, I have changed. I’m told by society—for the worse. Inside, I have also changed. I’m told by those who matter—for the better,” she continued. “When I close my eyes, I have never felt so desirable or beautiful. When I open them, the world has never been as beautiful as it is now. So another gulp of self-acceptance. Maybe, one day I can just look and see myself as I see others.”
Fans loved the supermodel’s authenticity and flooded the comments with kind words and appreciation. “It’s a pleasure to see someone age naturally. We all feel so much pressure to look young. ❤️” one fan wrote. “Beautiful with and without the makeup—thank you for showing us the way, with such grace and kindness and love of self,” another added. “Forever fabulous and inspiring,” another fan chimed in.
Porizkova always keeps it real with her fans. In fact, just a few weeks ago the star posted another no-makeup Instagram selfie to remind followers what she “actually” looks like, as opposed to other photos on her page.
“Lest you think I’ve become this new glamorous creature with a permanent sunny smile and flowing hair—this is what I actually look like, in the morning, bleary-eyed, no makeup in Atlanta heat and humidity,” she wrote. “It’s a kind of emotional stripping away of layers, of showing one another our true faces, our bare bones, imperfections and all.”
We love it when Porizkova reminds us to embrace aging by sharing her candid photos and inner thoughts. We can’t wait to see what she’ll post next!
