Halle Berry Discusses Aging Gracefully, 'Extant' Actress Reveals She Feels Pressured To Get Plastic Surgery [PHOTO]

When it comes to Hollywood, aging gracefully in the limelight can be a difficult thing to do. However, Halle Berry has somehow achieved it! Though she is nearing her 50s, the "Extant" actress still manages to look wonderful and be confident in her own skin. In a recent interview with Yahoo Beauty's editor-in-chief Bobbi Brown, she revealed that she often reminds herself true beauty is on the inside.

According to E Online, she stated, "I just have kept reminding myself that beauty really is as beauty does, and it is not so much about my physical self. Aging is natural, and that's going to happen to all of us."

However, the pressure to have plastic surgery is still very much a reality. Berry revealed, "It is pressure. When you see everybody around you doing it, you have those moments when you think, 'To stay alive in this business, do I need to do the same thing?' I won't lie and tell you that those things don't cross my mind, because somebody is always suggesting it to me. It's almost like crack that people are trying to push on you. That's what I feel like."

Though the pressure to get plastic surgery may always be looming, Berry says that she does not want to covet or maintain her youthful looks forever. She admitted, "I just want to always look like myself, even if that's an older version of myself. I think when you do too much of that cosmetic stuff, you become somebody else in a way...

We have to stop wanting to look like that decade before. We have to stop coveting that. Let it go and embrace it now and really be OK. It's easy to say, I guess, but that's the goal."

So how exactly does Berry stay looking so great? According to Glamour, less is more. She stated, "As I've aged, there are certain products that are geared more aging skin. Things that keep the vitality of your skin alive and things that have different components to it to help you as you're getting older. ...What I do today in my 40s is very different from what I did in my 20s. With makeup I've gone with less is more with makeup. I realize as you age the less makeup you wear, the younger you look... If I'm too made up I just feel like 'No, this isn't working.'"

We'll keep that in mind!
