"I think you get to a certain age, and you know what works for you and you just stick with it. I don’t want to look 25 anymore or look like someone who’s fighting to look 25," she shared.

Watts also shared that she hasn't had "the nerve" to undergo any plastic surgery, and is instead "interested in putting myself forward as I am."

"For now, I hope other people around me can tolerate my drooping jowls, because right now I don’t want to go under the knife. I can’t categorically say I’m for or against at this moment, but I certainly would never judge those who do it," she continued.

Additionally, Watts also spoke about how her beauty habits have changed over the years, sharing that "now that my kids are grown and more independent, I’m really into my end-of-the-day ritual."
