Drew Barrymore is welcoming her fifties with honesty, humour, and self-compassion. After celebrating her milestone birthday in February, the actress and the host of her show 'The Drew Barrymore Show' has been open about the changes she's noticed in herself—and how she's learning to handle them with grace.
Drew Barrymore's Beauty Journey
While discussing her beauty journey in connection with Garnier's new environmental initiative, Drew Barrymore revealed that she recently completed a round of hormone therapy to manage menopause symptoms. The process wasn't easy for her, as she experienced shifts in her skin and energy levels that made her feel less like herself.
Instead of letting those challenges bring her down, Barrymore chose to take action. She focused on eating cleaner, getting more rest, and adding gentle exercise to her daily routine—habits that help her feel more grounded. With guidance from her therapist and mentor, Dr Barry Michels, she also follows a personalised list of seven healthy habits that keep her focused on her well-being.

Drew Barrymore's Healthy Lifestyle
'The Drew Barrymore Show' host believes that confidence comes from small, consistent efforts. She has started using a walking pad while watching TV, waking up a few minutes earlier to ease the morning rush with her kids, and making simple beauty tweaks—like shaving her legs, giving herself a pedicure, and touching up her grey roots. These tiny steps, she says, make a big difference in how she feels.
As a mom to Olive and Frankie, Drew Barrymore admits her schedule leaves little time for luxury self-care. A spa retreat in Switzerland might sound nice, she jokes, but for now, she's focused on practical ways to lift her mood and energy at home.
Barrymore has also learned to be kinder to herself. She's stopped criticising her appearance and instead focuses on the positives—from her strength to her resilience. When she catches herself fixating on flaws, she redirects her attention toward something meaningful, like her partnership with Garnier and the National Park Foundation.

Through this campaign, Drew Barrymore is helping raise awareness about nationwide conservation and restoration efforts. She says the project gives her a renewed sense of purpose and reminds her that doing good for the planet and others is one of the most rewarding forms of self-care.
For Barrymore, beauty at 50 isn't just about appearance—it's about self-acceptance, kindness, and making the world a little better in the process.
