Meg Ryan is one of our fave actresses from the 1990s.
She starred in several of Jan and Cyndy’s all-time favourite films, including the iconic When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle.
Now also a film producer, she has come under fire recently from, ooh, internet trolls with nothing better to do and from some newspapers, for looking exceptionally good for her age while allegedly claiming not to have had “work”, i.e. cosmetic surgery AKA a facelift.
We don’t know about you, but we just think Meg Ryan might have good genes and has taken good care of her skin. And she is only 54, which is not 94 or 104. Get with the programme, all you 20-somethings who seem to think that because a woman is 54, she must have transformed into a wrinkled old crone! You don’t wake up on your 50th birthday and find a face full of wrinkles. Indeed, many lucky women don’t even wake up on their 70th birthday and find a face full of wrinkles! Yes, our facial skin loses some elasticity as we age, and we all acquire some lines, but they just mean we’ve lived and laughed. And as we all know, different people age differently (and wrinkle less) and we would all wrinkle less – allegedly – if we protect ourselves from sun damage . Just because you have a smooth skin and are barely lined at 54 is certainly not proof of having had “work”.
As well as having good genes and probably eating a healthy diet and doing lots of exercise you may, if you are a movie actress with high net worth and a career to protect, also undergo a variety of facial treatments or therapies designed to help maintain your skin’s smoothness, stopping well short of surgery.
For instance, Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment, like Madonna (allegedly) and Jan.
Now that’s not a phrase we expected to write, so let us explain: Jan had Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy to help her overcome some of the impairments following brain surgery. One of the effects claimed for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is smoother, younger-looking skin. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is, as a result, popular with celebs, including, allegedly, Madonna.
Okay, so at SoSensational, where we know and work daily to ensure that no-one – civilian or celeb (yes, we have some of those) turns into a wrinkled old frump at 50, or at 60, or even at 70, we can all agree that Meg Ryan simply looks great for her age. Are you listening 20-somethings? Because she looks gorgeous at 54, does not mean she has had “work”!
CLEVER TRICKS ALERT
We feel she may also be aware of some clever tricks to make her skin look plumper and more youthful, such as:
- Blending a little serum with your BB Crème or lightweight foundation to give foundation more translucence while also nourishing skin at the same time.
- Applying BB Crème or lightweight foundation only over nose, chin and to the lower part of cheeks, carefully avoiding under-eye area
- An egg-white “facelift”: Niki Metz, Director of Artistry for Jouer says: “As a little girl, I would watch my mother apply egg whites to her face (especially around her eyes) about an hour or two before going out to a special event.” You separate one egg, whisk it until frothy, apply the egg white all over the face and leave it for 20 minutes. You then wash it off with lukewarm water and immediately apply makeup. The egg-white tightens the skin and wrinkles to give a temporary facelift.
We also think that, in common with millions of women around the globe, Meg’s hair has a HUGE impact on how she looks. Steal her style – by finding a youthful hair-style that really flatters your face-shape. Hair colour is also crucial for us all. (For Cyndy it is precisely the right shade of red For Jan, it is being light blonde. If being grey suits you, if you have cool skin colouring, then go grey or let some silver in. But if, like Jan and Cyndy, you have warmer skin tone, then keep on colouring…)
We love how she has made that pretty nude-tone suit look super chic by pairing it with a simple white tee. We imagine Meg Ryan’s arms don’t need covering, but for a woman who prefers to cover her arms, the statement suit is a great solution… The jacket is an essential part of the outfit, so no need to take it off!
We simply adore this understated, all-black ensemble – outfits of all one colour are slimming, and also make you appear taller! Meg has kept her look simple, but if you love a little colour, then just add a bright handbag or scarf!
