The Art of Graceful Aging — according to Carice van Houten
Last month, Aēstec and Carice van Houten featured in the new edition of Pure Luxe. In this candid interview, Carice explains how she views aging, beauty and her conscious choice for subtle cosmetic treatments at Aēstec.
Her vision - enhancing natural beauty without making it stand out - fits in well with what we at Aēstec stand for: “The Art of Graceful Aging”.
Fortunately, the time for rigorous interventions seems to be further and further behind us. More and more people are opting for sophisticated treatments that support the natural appearance instead of changing it.
Why Carice chooses Aēstec
Carice feels at home at Aēstec because of our honest and personal approach. “I love people who take their job seriously, without taking themselves too seriously. They're a good listener, they don't do things you don't need to do, and they're honest about what works or doesn't work. That gives confidence.”
What does “stay natural” mean?
For Carice, staying natural means letting her face tell who she is — in a way that's right for today. “I don't need to look younger, but I do need to be awake, like I slept well and just got back from a week in Terschelling.”
Graceful aging: moving with yourself
“For me, graceful aging means moving with yourself, instead of fighting against it,” says Carice. In fact, small adjustments can be powerful, as long as they come from conviction and not fear.
The power of subtle treatments
What cosmetic treatments bring to Carice? “It gives me more freedom from the outside, more peace on the inside.” No transformation, but refinement. An honest, gentle approach to aging — just the way we at Aēstec envision it.
The art of being yourself
Carice insists that getting older is not a shortage, but rather wealth. And that beauty does not lie in hiding, but in strengthening. At Aēstec, we believe in supporting your natural beauty without striving to “stay young”. But stay true to yourself — in your best form.
