At age 52, Victoria Beckham is finally happy when she looks in the mirror.

“I’ve spent most of my life feeling that I am not good enough and not liking how I look,” the beauty mogul shared with The Times.

“I think the great thing about getting older is I now accept the way that I look,” she continued. “It’s better than the alternative, let’s be honest.”

That’s why, although the former Spice Girl runs a successful cosmetics company, you won’t see her labeling any of her products as “anti-aging.”

It’s just “a good marketing line,” Beckham said, adding, “I don’t believe that anything topical can stop the aging process, right? Unless I’m missing something. So, I think it’s quite negative.”

And while she believes women should embrace the aging process, the style star is famous for her social media makeup tutorials and dedicated workout regimen.

“I do more now than what I was doing when I was 20 and 30,” Beckham shared of her gym sessions.

“I don’t think you have to give up just because you’re 50. That doesn’t mean you have to compromise. You can still look good.”

“The great thing about getting older is you really care less about what other people think,” Beckham shared, adding, “I can own the narrative now.” Getty Images for TIME

Having spent more than 30 years under intense scrutiny about the way she looks, the mom of four believes “the great thing about getting older is you really care less about what other people think,” adding, “I can own the narrative now.”

A few weeks ago, Beckham proudly revealed that her 14-year-old daughter, Harper, is following in her footsteps by working on a skin care line of her own.

“She loves fashion, she loves beauty,” Posh said of Harper during the Time100 Summit in April.
