“It’s not something I could have hidden” he admits, unmasking the too many fake promises of eternal youth that populate Instagram feeds.

Beauty or infinite nostalgia?
If on the one hand Denise Richards’ outing breaks a taboo that is still too widespread in Hollywood, on the other it reveals the suffocating pressure on a woman who has made beauty her distinctive trait.
Despite past attempts with fillers and botox (which she herself admits didn’t work for her face) this time she bet everything on the big “rewind”. To return to appearing as it did decades ago.
The result is a face that today undoubtedly appears more relaxed. The 55-year-old actress reminds us that having been one of the most loved faces of the 90s is a very heavy crown to carry. Especially when time starts to take its toll.
