Thirty-five years after its revelation in
Three men and a basket
, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu returns to the front of the stage thanks to her role in the series
Emily in Paris
on Netflix. The 58-year-old actress plays Sylvie Grateau, the uncompromising and elegant boss of the American sent to the capital to do marketing. Beyond the parody of the Frenchwoman who smokes and is not stingy with scathing repartee, her character raises reflections on age and aging. "From the age of 40, we are good to throw away," exclaims Sylvie in the third episode of season 2. However, the actress, who appeared in a transparent dress in the front row of Paris Fashion Week , continues to prove the contrary.

When she does "a Sylvie": Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu dares the transparent dress in the front row
On screen as in real life, her naturally radiant face arouses covetousness. Her first advice for radiating and feeling beautiful without doing anything? Not wanting to look younger: "We have to own our age and love it for what it is", proclaims Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu in the British edition of
Glamor
magazine . “A world where people cannot grow old is a dangerous world. I talked about it with my daughter who turned 30 recently. She said to me, "Mom, I don't want to live in a world where women can't age." I think it's important to really embrace the signs of aging and not make it a problem, not make it something you can't talk about,” she says.

However, the actress is not fooled about the injunctions that weigh on women, especially in the cinema.
“I understand the insecurity, the pressure that we are under, especially in our industry.
But if nobody says, "This is my age, and this is who I am, my wrinkles are my wrinkles, I'm taking my wrinkles, it's my whole life", it's a little sad" , she notes.
Before concluding: “To age gracefully is to be a kinder person than you were when you were younger, because life somehow polishes you.”
Minimal treatments and facial massage
Like any self-respecting Parisian, Philippe Leroy-Beaulieu is a fan of
less is more
in his bathroom. "The more I put on my skin, the more it feels like it's not breathing, so I keep it very simplistic," she says.
The first essential step in her beauty routine, the actress always begins by spraying floral water on her face with a cotton ball: “It can be rose water, it can be orange water.
Just something really natural”.
She also says she washes her skin with Korean brand ZQ-II Amino Acid Hydrating Cleanser.
Among her favorite beauty products, she cites the Rêve de Miel lip balm from Nuxe, the serum and essence from the X3M EGF Refresh range from Clinicare to hydrate her skin, as well as the Eclat Extraordinaire cream from La Fervance in winter. .
To boost the benefits of her cosmetics and revive microcirculation, she performs a facial massage using a gua sha or a stone roller with small nubs.

Intermittent fasting and bunches of grapes
For the actress, the beauty of the skin also goes through the inside: “There is also what you put in your body, as everyone knows”.
Between occasional juice cures and intermittent fasting, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu also indulges in a rather special ritual to have a
glowing complexion.
“I do a lot of what we've been doing in Europe, since Roman or Greek times, which is to eat only green and red grapes with seeds.
I did it during the filming of the first season
(of the series Emily in Paris, editor's note)
because it was September and the grapes were in season,” she reveals, adding, “I only did it for two weeks* because I was starting to smell all the food on the tray and it made me want something else.
I got tired of the taste after a while, but overall it's great."

I washed my hair the next day and it was like silk,” she told US magazine

If we are to believe the actress, the objective is not to lose weight, but rather to regenerate the skin and the body: "I don't really lose a lot of weight, but what happens to my skin, to my eyes, all my organs and my hair is amazing.
I do not get enough.
It actually gives me so much energy after four or five days.
So that's the kind of stuff I do every year.
It's one of my secrets."
She does not specify if the glass of wine that she likes so much in the series can serve as a substitute out of season.
