Cox has always been immersed in the world of beauty, influenced by her family's obsession with looks. Growing up, her mother maintained her natural beauty with vitamins and creams, avoiding plastic surgery.
This focus on appearance deeply impacted Cox, making her hyper-aware of her own looks. Despite her gratitude for her natural features, the “Friends” star often finds it challenging to be comfortable with her appearance.

When it comes to diet, Cox's love for vegetables keeps her healthy. She also enjoys protein-rich foods such as steak, chicken, and fish, though she occasionally indulges in pasta and sweet potato fries. Currently, she's on a low-carb regimen to maintain her fitness.
Her workout routine is equally disciplined. Cox practices Pilates three times a week. She also combines walking and running intervals and uses resistance bands for toning. Additionally, she plays tennis on Sundays, striving for consistency in her fitness regime.

Cox feels her best post-workout, with a flushed face and no makeup. Despite using advanced beauty treatments like Botox and lasers, she remains honest about her efforts to combat aging. Still, her biggest fear about aging is how quickly it can catch up.
"I get jealous or afraid, whether it's because I'm getting older and I can't stay in the game, or it could be about anything, but anytime I feel jealous, I can't stand it. I will talk to my therapist and go, 'I just hate this feeling,'" Cox shared.

In a past interview, the actress reflected on aging while with her then 78-year-old mother, realizing how sudden aging can seem. Yet, she remains open to trying anything that might help prolong her youthful appearance, embodying a blend of honesty and resilience in her beauty journey.
When it comes to her skincare routine, she swears by her facialist Mila Moursi's products and appreciates Pantene products for keeping her hair healthy despite frequent styling.

Despite her beauty efforts, Cox has dealt with medical conditions that caused significant hair and eyebrow loss. She's also been candid about her use of cosmetic enhancements, including her biggest beauty regret—fillers.
Starting fillers at a young age, Cox described a "domino effect" where she continually added more without realizing the changes to her appearance. Fortunately, she later recognized the mistake and took steps to reverse it, embracing her natural aging process.

"I messed up a lot, and now luckily I was able to reverse most of that, and now I'm actually just older," Cox stated. The actress also expressed relief and acceptance of her natural aging process. Cox's battle with hypothyroidism led to hair loss and thinning eyebrows.
"My hair was falling out, and it turns out it's because I have hypothyroidism. I think I got overmedicated because I've had it for so many years; your body changes," Cox revealed during her appearance on the "Gloss Angeles Beauty" podcast.

In addition to hair loss and thinning eyebrows, Cox faced other health concerns due to her medical condition, including swollen joints, which made it difficult for her to wear her aura ring, and excessive weight loss.
Despite these setbacks, Cox remained optimistic and committed to improving her health. After adjusting her treatment with the help of a good endocrinologist, she is now on the right track to better health.

Since embracing natural aging, Cox has shared key beauty rules, emphasizing the importance of a daily skincare routine and the critical role of sunscreen. She also humorously mentioned her attempts to instill this habit in her daughter.
Cox has spoken out against the pressures female actresses face in Hollywood, criticizing unrealistic beauty standards and the overuse of filters and cosmetic enhancements.

She believes that "less is always more," a philosophy she hopes more people in the industry will embrace. Despite the challenges, Cox remains a symbol of resilience and natural beauty.
Being in the limelight has subjected Courteney Cox to a lot of criticism, but she knows how to handle the backlash. The actress revealed that she avoids reading online comments about herself to protect her mental well-being.
She mentioned only skimming through comments from friends, steering clear of the negativity that often comes from going further. Cox also expressed frustration with the constant focus on age in the entertainment industry. She said it unnecessarily highlights something irrelevant to one's talent and abilities.
By sharing her beauty secrets and honest thoughts on industry pressures, Cox offers a refreshing perspective on aging naturally and maintaining a positive self-image despite external criticisms.
