Christina Aguilera feels 'more confident as you get older': 'This is the thing to really embrace'

As someone who grew up in the spotlight, Christina Aguilera knows all too well what it’s like to have everyone talking about your constant change I wait.

Now, at 42, he sees the world differently.

“Seeing aging as a negative is a super old-school approach,” the singer said People in a new interview “I’ve seen myself going through different stages of my life and complaining about certain things. Like I’ve aged, I look back and say, ‘God, every stage is a new era.’ I really like to feel more confident as I get older. This is the thing to truly embrace. It is harmful when [aging] it becomes an obsession.”

She added, “I also think everyone has a different view of how they want to age. It’s a very personal conversation. What works for some people may not work for others.”

After starting out at a young age and breaking into the industry with hits like ‘Genie in a Bottle’ and ‘Come on Over Baby’, she understand its value.

“Things will change as you get older, especially as women. I started performing around age six in my hometown and never stopped,” she said. “Being in the public eye is an additional element that can complicate your view of yourself. People will have an opinion, no matter what you do, no matter what you wear. Art always comes before me.”

The blonde is now also talking about the collaboration with Xeomin, an anti-wrinkle injection which helps to improve the lines.

“I’m always interested in finding new products that excite me and make me feel my best,” she explained. “Xeomin seemed like the safest way to go because it doesn’t have any extra ingredients. It’s reassuring that no matter how tired I might be, I have the backup.”

“We like the expression, especially in my work,” she continued. “I don’t want to have a frozen face. Whether it’s being on camera or performing on stage, I have to stay authentic to my emotion.”
