The supermodel says she won't be hard on herself or trying to look 20 again, but she will try to look great for 50.

AceShowbiz - Cindy Crawford acknowledged that most women are afraid of being 50, due to the fact that being 50 means a lot of changes in terms of appearance. But Cindy wanted them not to worry. She set herself as an example of a woman who is in her 50s but not looking into some blast to the past.
"No matter what I do, I'm not going to look 20, or 30. I just want to look great for 50," she told NewBeauty. "I exercise, eat healthy and take really good care of my skin. There's pressure on women to do the undoable, which is not age. But it's about looking great for however old you are, regardless of what that number is."
The first change she noticed was the thinner volume of her face, which would cause "serious cheekbones that can make my face look severe if I'm not careful." Thankfully, her face doesn't have much lines. "My face doesn't have a lot of lines yet because I really take care of my skin. In some ways, I have more confidence about my skin at 50 than I did in my 20s," she said.
Still, no matter how wise her outlook on her appearence is, people in social media keep commenting on how she doesn't have the same look as decades ago. "I don't need everyone on Instagram pointing out that I don't look the same way I did when I was 20. I know that," she said of how she handles this. "Sometimes when you're in the public eye, it can be hard, and that's where you kind of have to work on yourself."
Another change she noticed was the coarser texture of her hair, which she didn't expect. "It's gotten much coarser over the years. I look at my daughter and I'm always like, 'You have my old hair and I want it back!' Her hair looks great even if she goes to sleep with it wet. She wakes up in the morning and it's just like perfect and I'm jealous of that," she said. She didn't want to think much about it, though. "I think the sanest way to age is to accept it," she added.
