Now at 55-years-old, Michelle Pfieffer reveals how she has been able to remain an ageless looking beauty in the world of Hollywood.




In the October issue of "Ladies Home Journal," the legendary actress admits that a lot of stress comes with trying to remain youthful looking in the entertainment industry. However, now that she is at a point were she looks great for her age, it's smooth sailing.




" Having to watch yourself age on a giant movie screen is simply not natural. It can wreak havoc on your psyche," Pfeiffer said. "Once you get over a certain hump there actually is less pressure [to look a certain way]. You can begin to look great for your age. You don't have to look young anymore. I've moved over to that other side—I'm 55, which is a little too close to 60, but looking great for my age is okay now."




The actress also shared some advice from her dermatologist on how to stay young.




" My dermatologist said to me once, 'You know that 10X magnifying mirror that you have in the bathroom? Throw it away'," she added. "It was the best advice anybody ever gave me. Of course, now my eyes are weaker and I can't see to put my makeup on without that mirror!"




Besides having a healthy mindset, Pfeiffer eats and lives well. She goes to the gym five days a week to lift free weights and stays on a committed vegan diet.




However, the star wasn't always a health nut.

"But I haven't always been healthy," she admitted. "When I was in my 20s I smoked two packs of cigarettes a day. I lived on Marlboro Lights and Coca-Cola."
