These are the top signs of ‘real beauty’

The definition of 'beauty' is having inner confidence, always being honest - and knowing when others need a shoulder to cry on, it has emerged.

Researchers who carried out a detailed study among 1,600 Generation X women - those aged 39 to 53 - found the ability to laugh at ones self is also an important trait.

Around one in three who took part said those who conduct acts of good will are ‘beautiful’ – while another 25 per cent said 'dancing like no one was watching' was also a key sign.

Being confident enough to leave the house without make-up and being prepared to admit when you’ve made a mistake also makes a human being 'beautiful'.

Eight in 10 women said it was really important for them to be considered a 'beautiful person' on the inside as well as the outside.

But despite this 67 per cent of those polled expressed a belief women in their 40s and 50s have been overlooked for too long.

Dr Mike Bell, No7 Skincare Scientific Advisor for Boots No7 Laboratories, which carried out the study to launch two new Booster Serums, said: “Research shows that Gen X women are confident and embracing their beauty.

''Our definition of beauty changes as we get older – what was considered beautiful in our 20s may not be the same as our 40s and Gen X women are empowered by their age; to them it is a symbol of the knowledge, experience and confidence they have accumulated.''

The study also found the ability to make others feel more comfortable, regularly displaying kindness and having the courage to stand up for friends are also signs someone is beautiful.

Having confidence in yourself and being healthy and fit also featured highly in the list.

Other signs of beauty include laughing all the time, simply being happy and accepting that your body is always changing.

Gen X women also defined beauty as being genuinely excited about the smaller things in life.

And a further one in 10 said it’s having the confidence to sing out loud in front of others, regardless of whether you have a good voice or not.

The study also found 58 per cent of Gen X women are at a stage in their lives where they understand what they need to do to look and feel their best.

Reassuringly, just over six in 10 admitted they feel confident about the way they look – and many adhere to relatively strict face and body routines to help them feel the best versions of themselves

One third of women keep to a healthy diet and exercise regularly, while four in 10 allow themselves plenty of time to rest and recuperate when needed.

A quarter opt to spend a little more on good quality skin care products – with 44 per cent per cent admitting their skin isn’t as firm as it once was, and 41 per cent acknowledging they have concerns about their skin ‘heading south’.

Seven in 10 women polled by OnePoll believe it is important for Gen X women to embrace who they are – taking care of their appearance, but without going overboard.

Interestingly, a fifth of those questioned admitted the older they get the more they understand what make up, fashion and skincare suits them best.

But for 46 per cent, the older they get, the more they believe beauty comes from within.

Dr Mike Bell added: ''Research shows that Gen X women are confident and embracing their beauty. ''At No7, we celebrate this extraordinary generation of women.

''They are empowered by their age; to them it is a symbol of all the knowledge, experience and confidence they have accumulated.”

No7 Laboratories Firming Booster Serum and No7 Laboratories Dark Spot Correcting Booster Serum complement the existing range to answer the top 3 beauty skincare concerns; loss of firmness, pigmentation and wrinkles.
