'My face is my face. It is what it is.'
.) Below, in her own words, Parker shares more of her unfiltered thoughts on age, skin care, and hotel shampoo. —Women have a huge amount to offer the longer we spend in experience as parents and employees and employers and friends and colleagues and neighbors and wives and partners and anything in-between. We are better and have more to contribute. We are not of lesser value, but rather the contrary.
I think the hardest thing for all of us is to know something intellectually and to make it live emotionally for us. Like anything, it takes time to integrate ideas [about beauty] into our lives. It takes time to chip away at old ideas and welcome new things. But more and more, I think you're just hearing women talk about wanting to feel good about themselves when they walk out the door and really meaning it.
I just don't spend that much time [thinking about appearance]. It’s not that I don't have an ego, that I don't have a decent, healthy amount of vanity, but I just don't want to spend that much time really deconstructing it all. I like to be graceful with myself. I'm not delusional. I know that age adds up, and that there are consequences to being 51, 52, 53. I get it.
Do I want to participate in stopping time? No. [Get a] time machine? No. What small effort can I make toward feeling okay? I have to look in the mirror for work a lot and I can't be in total denial about the reality, and I'd like to feel good, and I'd like other people to think I'm presentable. Beyond that, it's out of my hands. People have opinions. That's the way the world works. Do I wish people were nicer to each other, especially women? Sure.
I have two products from RoC that I'm very devoted to already. So [in building this kit], I wanted to make sure that I could understand these [products] as well, because for me, unlike other women that seem to be extremely good at 10 steps [of skin care], I don't want 10 steps. I don't understand 10 steps. I don't want to get involved in 10 steps. So, how could these integrate into what I already had that was effective, that feels good, that smells good? I see the results.
