Speaking to WWD, Charlize Theron has criticized beauty industry for being focused mostly on women in their twenties and suggested they should concentrate more on women in their forties.

The actress explained that women are in their prime when they reach certain age and are far more interesting than young girls.

“It’s ironic that we’ve built the beauty world around 20-year-olds, when they have no f***ing concept about wisdom, what life is about, having a few relationships below their belt and feeling hardships, to grow into their skin and feel confident within themselves and to feel the value of who they are, not because of a man or because of something like that. And I think that’s such a beautiful thing,” Theron said.

“And that’s why I think people say women come into their prime in their 40s. And then for some reason our society just wants to go … it’s like a dead flower. It’s like we wilt for some reason. And men are like fine wines — the older they get, the better they get.

“It’s such a misconception, and it’s such a lost opportunity because that’s when I think women are really in the true moment of their sensuality.”
