If there’s one thing none of us can delay it’s the aging process, and that fact is true for everyone–including Hollywood stars. Some, like Jennifer Aniston, refuse to buy into the the more drastic anti-aging procedures out there, building a small force of celebrities who are supporting natural aging.

For Jennifer Aniston, aging gracefully isn’t just about looking and feeling good–its about job security, and the actress indicates her current profession seems too hung up on a person’s numerical age. Nowadays, she indicates, technological advancements and wellness discoveries have made people far healthier in their later years than they ever were a few decades ago.
“We know how to take care ourselves. We know what to put in our bodies to fuel us thats healthy and organic and not processed, and the importance of drinking water and cutting out sugars and bad fats. Before, we just didnt know that, and we didnt have the technology with skin care that we have today, she told WWD. “Your age always has to be mentioned and men dont really get that for some reason. Its not like you see Joe Schmo, 37. Women and men today in their 40s are so much healthier than they were 30 years ago in their 40s. It was a different time.”
Aniston indicates she is getting tired of hearing the phrase “for your age” attached to her accomplishments, and the double standard for men and women regarding age in Hollywood is very palpable.
Her disgust with the celebrity trend associated with anti-aging is shared by other celebrities like Cameron Diaz. Just recently, Diaz spoke out about her feelings on the matter, stating that Hollywood doesn’t give women “permission” to age naturally. Expectations and pressure keep women?not just celebrities?continually hunting for a non-existent Fountain of Youth.
