A nationwide survey has revealed as many as 38 percent claim that if they looked as good as J-Lo (51 years old) when they were older, they would be more than happy.
Jennifer Lopez Voted the Celebrity who Looks the Most Fab at “Forty Plus”
Second on the list of over forty stars who have seemingly defied the ageing process was Jennifer Aniston, who at 52 came in second place with 34 percent of the vote.
Tess Daly (51), Kate Moss (47) and David Beckham (45) also made the list, as did Kim Kardashian (40), Idris Elba (48) and Nigella Lawson (61).
And the final list boasts many more Brits including Helen Mirren (75), Claudia Winkleman (49), Kate Beckinsale (47) and Daniel Craig (53).
The zoom boom
According to the survey of 1,000 Brits by aesthetic clinic finder Glowday, most millennials now start to think about treatments such as anti-wrinkle injections, fillers, and chemical peels by the tender age of 33.
As many as 70 percent said seeing themselves on so many zoom calls and Google meets over the past year has made them consider having an anti-ageing treatment.
While almost a third (30 percent) feel the stigma around these sorts of procedures is old fashioned and becoming a thing of the past.
In fact, as many as 19 percent of women have had lip fillers, 16 percent have had anti-wrinkle injections (for example, Botox) - and 15 percent have been to see a specialist for microneedling.
The survey also revealed many females are planning to treat themselves to procedures such as laser-hair removal (43%) lip fillers (34 percent), wrinkle/line injections (22 percent) or a chemical peel (22 percent) to make themselves feel better after a terrible year in lockdown.
Overall, 86 percent of those surveyed said having a treatment was good for their self-esteem and self-confidence, however 28 percent said they would never tell their partner or friends whether they have had a procedure, as no one needs to know the secret to their youthful complexion.
A more open 72 percent said they would happily tell people about any treatments they have had, because they have nothing to hide.
Hannah Russell CEO and founder of Glowday said: “It’s brilliant to see that the research shows that the stigma around these treatments is diminishing, with almost a third of women believing the stigma to be old fashioned and outdated. However, it’s so important that if women are seeking fillers and anti-ageing treatments, they understand they’re medical procedures, not beauty treatments. They need to be administered by someone medically qualified and it’s the reason I started Glowday because when I had my first wrinkle injections, I didn’t have a clue where to go and who to trust."
Of those who have had cosmetic procedures, 39 percent had it done for a confidence boost, while 36 percent said they disliked what they saw in the mirror and one in ten said they were influenced by people on social media.
In terms of barriers, 41 percent said the cost put them off having a cosmetic procedure, while 39 percent worried, they would end up looking fake.
