Popspoken: What is your personal philosophy on beauty, and how has it evolved over the years?

Anne Hathaway: Drinking water and staying hydrated is so important. I believe that my skin looks its best when it is nourished. which starts from within. Sunscreen is also important – I love spending time outdoors but try to avoid any excessive exposure to the sun.

Popspoken: In your partnership with SHISEIDO, “Potential Has No Age” is a central message. Can you tell us about an experience in your own life or career where you’ve defied age-related expectations and accomplished something significant?

Anne Hathaway: To me, the concept of ‘Potential Has No Age’ means not limiting yourself ever, especially not because of age. Despite some very messaging that we – especially women – have been subjected to, age simply is not a barrier for self-growth and personal development. The way I feel about it at this stage of my life, is that there is no “peak age” that should be valued above any other. Hopefully we’re always becoming more ourselves. I feel it’s vital to always be exploring our ownpotential for as long as we are lucky enough to be alive.

Popspoken: What personal skincare routine or practices have you found to be most effective in maintaining healthy and radiant skin throughout your career in the entertainment industry?

Anne Hathaway: A skincare routine is personal, but I have found that a great quality moisturizer is crucial. I love VITAL PERFECTION Uplifting and Firming Cream which I use at night. Firstly, it has a smooth texture and pleasant scent with deep hydration, which is unique to VITAL PERFECTION. The Uplifting and Firming Day Cream has SPF30 sun protection – a must!

In the evening, I use the Lift Define Radiance Face Mask from the VITAL PERFECTION Range, which immediately leaves my skin radiant and refreshed. In addition, I think the Pure Retinol in VITAL PERFECTION Uplifting and Firming Express Eye Mask, and the Intensive Wrinkle Spot Treatment makes all the difference. I saw it from the first time I used it and loved waking up with an extra rejuvenated, hydrated, and glowing skin.

Popspoken: How do you navigate these standards and maintain your authenticity while representing brands like SHISEIDO?

Anne Hathaway: Showing gratitude and keeping myself hydrated helped maintain both standards and authenticity in my area of work.
