How Helen Hunt, 59, Is Refusing to Conform to Beauty Standards

Actress Helen Hunt’s fans are thanking her for her recent Instagram post. The star was utterly charming as she flaunted her wrinkles and looked as natural as ever. And in a world that relies on beauty procedures and filters to stay young, Helen’s candid snap came as a breath of fresh air.

The beauty of simplicity

Hunt shared a selfie on her way to the season two premiere of Blindspotting. She appeared in light makeup and wavy hair, most of which she revealed was her own. Fans praised the actress in the comments for owning up to her age and embracing her imperfections.

One person wrote, ’’Thank you for looking real, authentic and gorgeous!!’’ while another commented, ’’I’m happy you don’t change your face with Chirurgie and Botox. Natural.’’

She’d rather be comfortable in her body instead of looking perfect.

The 59-year-old Mad About You actress is not only choosing to embrace aging but also opting for a healthy lifestyle and keeping her body in perfect shape through exercise.

She previously explained that she chooses to stay active, saying, ’’As a general rule, I tend to move. I don’t go to a gym ever. I don’t diet ever.’’

Hunt went on noting that in the ’80s, she used to diet, but that left her feeling ’’miserable,’’ so she decided to stop chasing the ’’perfect body." Instead, she focused on physical activities like walking, surfing, and yoga to keep her healthy.

She always puts herself first

And when it comes to her beauty philosophy, there is one important rule that Helen swears by. She noted ’’Love yourself, love yourself, love yourself,’’ even though she acknowledges that that’s not an easy goal to achieve.

She also prioritizes her comfort by being laid-back over a high-maintenance lifestyle. The actress explained, “The people I work with beg me to put on something other than sweatpants.”

Having said that, Helen loves a good glow-up every now and then, especially when she has a premiere to attend. She noted, “I didn’t go to my high school prom, so I try to turn those events into a prom moment.”

Self-love is the path to happiness because our body keeps us going, and it is a miracle that needs to be cherished to the fullest.
