英国《每日邮报》报道，据调查，65岁的人对于自己的外表最为自信。
81%的65岁或以上的老人对自己的外貌显得非常自信;年龄在16岁至24岁的年轻人中，该比例则是70%;而年龄在45岁至54岁之间的中年人中，只有60%的人对外表感到自信。
这项由全球化妆品公司欧莱雅做的调查显示，白发、黑眼圈和皱纹是女人最为恐惧的事情，同样，男人也惧怕头发变白、皱纹上脸和脱发。据调查，有35%的男性在使用抗衰老产品，而使用同类产品的女性则达到了54%。
该调查通过问卷的方式询问了2000名英国男女，什么时候对自己的外貌最为自信。结果显示，对外貌的自信会随着年龄的更迭而起起伏伏。
而且对很多人来说，美貌也不仅仅是个表皮功夫，有65%的人认为外表会影响到他们整体的自信。
欧莱雅英国及爱尔兰公司的米歇尔•布鲁塞说：“随着老龄化社会的到来，人们对美的追求也正发生巨大的变化。到2050年，英国65岁以上的人群会翻倍，毫无疑问，届时美丽对于提升日常生活中的自信心将发挥更大的作用。”
Sexy in your sixties? 65 is the age we feel the best about our looks, study reveals
We are most confident in our appearance when we reach 65, according to a new study.
Those aged over 65 feel the most confident in their appearance (81 per cent), compared toyoungsters aged between 16 and 24 (70 per cent).
Only six in ten Brits (60 per cent) aged between 45 and 54 said they feel most confident in theirappearance.
New research released today by beauty product company L'Oreal shows we even feel youngerthan our actual age.
Over half (53 per cent) of British people claim to feel more youthful than they are, while a third (34per cent) feel as much as ten years younger.
It seems men feel more positive about their looks in their later years (21 per cent), compared tojust 16 per cent of women.
Meanwhile, 70 per cent of men feel 'very confident' in their appearance, compared to just 58 percent of females.
On the other hand, developing grey hair, dark eye circles and wrinkles are the biggest fears forwomen.
Men are also most concerned about their hair turning grey, followed by wrinkles and hair loss.
And to ensure they keep their good looks, more than a third of men (35 per cent) use anti-ageingproducts, compared to 54 per cent of women.
The study quizzed 2,000 British men and women on their looks and when they feel mostconfident.
The L'Oreal Confidence Index reveals confidence in our looks goes through ups and downs as weage.
Beauty may also be more than skin-deep, with 65 per cent believing their physical appearanceaffects their overall confidence.
For women, appearance plays the most significant role in confidence with 70 per cent saying it isone of the areas that most affects them.
This compares to work (41 per cent), financial security (62 per cent) and having personalsupporters such as family and friends (62 per cent).
For men, financial security is a prime source of confidence (67 per cent), along with havingpersonal supporters (55 per cent) and their job (48 per cent).
A third (30 per cent) wish they looked younger, with 93 per cent of women claiming beauty andhair products can boost their confidence.
The study also highlights where in the UK we feel most confident.
Those in the West Midlands lead the charge and start using products earliest at the age of 28.
However, the research suggests those in the West Midlands are happiest with their physicalappearance (73 per cent), compared to Northern Ireland which props up the list at 49 per cent.
People in East Anglia are most likely to wish they looked younger (37 per cent), compared to just18 per cent in the North East.
Michel Brousset, from L'Oreal UK & Ireland, said: 'It is clear that as a nation we approach ageing invery different ways.
'But it is brilliant to see that contrary to what people may think, we actually get better with age andgain even more confidence in ourselves and our appearance.
'We're certainly noticing that the beauty needs of an ageing population are rapidly changing.
'And with the UK population of over 65s set to double by 2050, we're no doubt set for even morechanges in how people use beauty as a small confidence boost in their everydaylives.'(MailOnline)
