Celebrity Selfies That Prove Makeup-Free Skin Over 50 Is Gorgeous

Bethenny Frankel, 52

“I thought it was time for a no hair no makeup VERY CLOSE UP 52 year old selfie,” shares Frankel on Instagram. “With so much discussion about the unrealistic images of women this age on magazine covers and in media, we need a reminder that it’s okay. It’s ok to be too tired to exercise. It’s ok to have dark circles from a bad night’s sleep. It’s ok to not feel pressure to present ourselves as something we’re not and it’s okay to age.” We couldn’t agree more.

The queen of multi-tasking, Union-Wade applies a sheet mask while having a vulnerable conversation about the challenges of motherhood with her Instagram friends.

She may be showing off her “Just Voted” sticker and urging her followers to do the same, but all we can see is Moore’s flawless, poreless complexion.
