Do your bit towards body positivity, and show off some killer negotiating skills, Kate Winslet style. The Academy Award winner recently negotiated her contract with L'Oréal to put in a “No Retouching” clause which ensures that none of her upcoming Lancôme ads will contain any type of airbrushing. No blemishes will be removed, no face slimming will be done, no wrinkles will be smoothened out.

While speaking to E! News, Winslet talks about her opposing views to retouching, and the effect it has on women and young girls who look at these airbrushed images. “I think they do look to magazines, I think they do look to women who have been successful in their chosen careers and they want people to look up to, and I would always want to be telling the truth about who I am to that generation because they've got to have strong leaders. We're all responsible for raising strong young women, so these are things that are important to me.”

Winslet's move doesn't really surprise us, considering she's always been very vocal against magazines photoshopping her images. In 2003, when GQ digitally slimmed her down, she said, “The retouching is excessive. I do not look like that and more importantly I don't desire to look like that. I actually have a Polaroid that the photographer gave me on the day of the shoot…I can tell you they've reduced the size of my legs by about a third. For my money it looks pretty good the way it was taken.” In 2009, she told Harper's Bazaar, “I have wrinkles here, which are very evident. And I will particularly say when I look at movie posters, 'You guys have airbrushed my forehead. Please can you change it back?' I'd rather be the woman they're saying 'She's looking older' about than 'She's looking stoned.'”

If only magazines would realise that the only one insecure about wrinkles is them, and not the stunning, confident, maybe slightly wrinkled, women on their covers.
