Actress Julianne Moore believes in ageing gracefully and doesn't like products that "freeze your face in time" because as an artist she needs to "show expressions".

"Everyone should do what they feel is best for them. Personally, I've not had anything done," contactmusic.com quoted Moore as saying.

"My job means too much to me. It's important to be able to play women at all points in their lives and I don't like products that freeze your face in time. I need to show expressions. I'm not crazy about the idea of getting older, but it's part of life," the 52-year-old added.

"The Kids Are All Right" actress also said that she wants to inspire people to think of beauty at different ages, rather than thinking someone is attractive despite their advancing years.

"You often hear, 'She's attractive for her age'. A terribly condescending phrase, I find. The message I want to spread is the opposite. I want to give a positive message of beauty at a certain moment, at a specific age. It's very different and it appeals to me. It's a very inspiring and modern way of thinking," she said.
