Cougar Town actress Courteney Cox looks great for her age and she shared a few tips and insights about how to remain youthful looking and age gracefully with New Beauty Magazine. The 47-year-old actress also admitted that “beauty over 40 is a slippery slope,” though.

She mentioned that “I do cheat, on occasion, with pasta or bread and butter. And I do eat a lot of cheese and nuts, which is probably not the best idea.”

Normally she eats a light breakfast of only coffee and chicken salad for lunch, and fish or chicken or vegetables for dinner. Though Cox said that maintaining her beauty and figure is a struggle at her age, she did optimistically conclude that “the life experience and knowledge we gain can make us sexier with age.”
