Angelina Jolie's Age-Defying Secrets: How She Maintains Her Youthful Glow at 50

Angelina Jolie looks better than ever aged 50 - and she follows a straightforward skincare routine to boost her glow (seen at Cannes Film Festival in May)

Angelina Jolie: The Hollywood Superstar Who's Still Got It at 50!

The eternal question on every beauty enthusiast's mind: what's Angelina Jolie's secret to staying stunning for decades? We've got the inside scoop, and trust us, it's worth reading!

As we're all aware, Angelina Jolie has been one of Hollywood's most gorgeous actresses since she burst onto the scene as a young woman. And now, at the ripe age of 50, she's still rocking that signature glow like nobody's business. But what's behind her timeless beauty? We spoke to Dr. Rhonda Rand, the dermatologist who's guided Angelina through her skincare journey for years.

"Angelina has always been meticulous about her skin," Dr. Rand revealed in an exclusive chat with The Scholarly Note. "When she realized she was going to have a career in acting, she knew she had to take care of her skin in the most sensible way possible." And sensible it is - Angelina's skincare routine is all about natural products and clever tricks.

So, what exactly does Angelina do? For starters, she sticks to a simple cleansing routine with gentle cleansers and exfoliants. But don't get it twisted - this isn't your average beauty routine! Dr. Rand spilled the beans: "She uses glycolic acids, alpha hydroxy acids, and antioxidants to keep her skin looking fresh and firm." And if that wasn't enough, Angelina also makes sure to wear sunscreen daily - a crucial step in preventing wrinkles and fine lines.

But what about makeup? You'd think an actress would be obsessed with covering up imperfections, right? Not Angelina! According to Dr. Rand, she only wears makeup when absolutely necessary (i.e., for work). And when she does, she's super diligent about removing it all - no residue or 'glint of foundation' allowed!

As we dug deeper into Angelina's secrets, another expert weighed in: Amish Patel, BEM, Award-Winning Aesthetics Practitioner & Skincare Expert at Intrigue Cosmetic Clinic. He chimed in with his two cents on how to achieve Angelina-like skin: "It's all about the non-surgical beauty treatments - radio frequency treatments, microneedling, and the works!"

And don't even get us started on Angelina's famous facials from Dr. David Colbert! Sources close to Angelina revealed that she spends upwards of £15,000 per year on high-tech facials (yes, you read that right). That's an investment if we ever saw one!

But it's not just about the treatments - Angelina's fitness regimen is equally impressive. We learned from The Express that her workout routine involves circuit training, strength training, and cardio. And when she's preparing for a specific role? Martial arts like Muay Thai come into play! (Who knew being a spy thriller actress required such extensive physical conditioning?)

Now we know what you're thinking: can we really replicate Angelina's beauty secrets on a budget? According to Amish Patel, "Cut out the sugar and alcohol, wear factor 50 SPF all year round, drink plenty of water, and eat a diet rich in vitamins and minerals" are the essential tips for achieving that coveted glow.

Angelina Jolie: still stunning at 50. Need we say more?
