Reese Witherspoon is 43 and fabulous, honey. And she’s embracing her age with open arms.

“I just feel like I earned that gray hair and my fine lines. I like ’em. I so prefer 43 to 25,” the actress told Allure in a new interview. “I have a point of view because I’ve been on this planet for 43 years, and I didn’t feel that same way when I was 25. I didn’t have the same things to say. I’m 43 and I’ve had a whole bunch of experiences, and I can speak with a thoughtfulness about the changes I’d like to see in the world.”

Still, the actress is not without her tips. A particular one was a recommendation to use Elizabeth Arden’s Retinol Ceramide Capsules: “I look more awake in the morning,” she explained. “They also even out the redness in my skin so I don’t have to wear as much foundation.”

Hey if it’s good enough for Reese, it’s good enough for us! She looks fabulous, right?
