In an exclusive interview with In Style in 2019, Aniston opened up about what it feels like to be fifty and older. "Fifty was the first time I thought, 'Well, that number,'" she said. "I don't know what it is because I don't feel any different. Things aren't shutting down in any way. I feel physically incredible. So it's weird that it's all of a sudden getting telegraphed in a way that's like, 'You look amazing for your age.' I think we need to establish some etiquette around that dialogue and verbiage," the star actress added. 

Aniston admitted that her love for beauty started at a young age with her mother. "I think it's because my mom told me to start moisturizing when I turned 15," she revealed. "I've been using Aveeno since I was a teenager." She also opened up about her love for hair. To the surprise of most, she cut hair starting in middle school. "I cut hair for 10 bucks a head in junior high,” she admitted. This may be a reason why Aniston’s hair has been iconic since she played Rachel on “Friends” back in the 1990s and early 2000s. 

Still dawning gorgeous color as well as cut, the actress admitted she doesn’t plan on letting her beautiful locks go gray. "I'm not gonna lie — I don't want gray hair," she shared.
