Disney movies are pure fiction, but in real life it sometimes seems as though a few people have followed in Mother Gothel’s footsteps – or struck a deal with the devil – to avoid aging. The way each person changes over time depends on many factors: genetics, metabolism in terms of weight, healthy habits like exercise and diet, or even a consistent beauty regimen.
What is the secret behind Brad Pitt’s young look?
One of Hollywood’s most beloved and acclaimed actors is Brad Pitt, a true icon across generations. The star of F1 isn’t afraid of getting older – he wants to embrace his age, move with it, and take care of himself. “I don’t run from aging; I’m more concerned with well-being,” he told Telva magazine some years ago. For Pitt, the passage of time should be lived naturally and with self-acceptance, not in fear of what lies ahead.
The American actor admits that he “never really paid much attention to skincare.” In fact, he once confessed he would just “wash my face with whatever body wash I had lying around. That went on until my then-partner Gwyneth Paltrow introduced me to the importance of proper cleansing.” A shocking admission best not overheard by dermatologists and aestheticians. In a recent chat with Vogue USA, the 61-year-old explained how Paltrow opened the door to the world of beauty and skincare: “I have a really simple skincare routine, but I’m very thorough. Gwyneth was the first person who got me to wash my face twice a day.”

Brad Pitt’s step-by-step routine
Brad Pitt’s skincare routine – or what Gen Z now calls skincare – is based on just a few products and three essential steps. “It’s very simple,” he says. First, he cleanses his face twice a day, once in the morning and once before bed, to remove impurities and balance the skin. Then he applies an antioxidant serum and moisturizer to hydrate deeply and regenerate skin cells, which helps delay visible signs of aging. Finally, he uses daily sunscreen, since UVA rays are a major factor in the appearance of wrinkles. Consistency, he stresses, is what makes the difference.
Who would have thought? The man who once washed his face with any old soap is now co-founder of a skincare label, Beau Domaine, together with the Perrin winemaking family.
