Cameron Diaz and her slam on the tyranny of beauty: "I don't even clean my face anymore"

• Debate The brutal deformity of Linda Evangelista?

Having a perfect smile, hair as bright as the golden rays of the California sun, an iron abdomen and legs as iron as they are endless.

From the outside, everything looks ideal, so 'in place' and as perfect as it is disgustingly enviable.

But, like any pact in life, the

(almost) eternal robustness and youth also has its

that, if not managed sensibly, leads headlong to physical slavery incompatible with life. ... because, like it or not, there is no 'cure' for aging.

Fed up with being subjected to this tyranny of everlasting beauty and freshness, Cameron Diaz has just confessed, in an interview with singer Michelle Visage for her BBC podcast 'Rule Breakers', that she has become so fed up with keeping an eye on his image during his career that now practically does not even wash his face.

No one is unaware that, no matter how much the 'body positive' flag is raised, "youth and beauty are two values ​​on the rise, closely linked to success".
