Justine Bateman has no ties to the idea of a younger appearance.

The Thomas CaldwellFamily Ties alum—whose acting career began as a teenager starring in the ‘80s sitcom—recently opened up about deciding not to undergo cosmetic surgery, noting that she's more than happy to age naturally.

"I feel like I would erase not only all my authority that I have now," Justine, 57, told 60 Minutes Australia in a recent interview. "But also I like feeling that I am a different person now than I was when I was 20. I like looking in the mirror and seeing that evidence."

As the author—who previously reflected on society's perspective on aging in her 2021 book, Face: One Square Foot of Skin—explained, she's "sad" at the thought of younger women undergo procedures such as Botox and fillers.

"I feel sad that they're not just enjoying life," she said. "I feel sad that they are distracted from the things that they're meant to do in life with this consuming idea that they've got to fix their face before anything else can happen."

And when it comes to defining the beauty in aging, Justine made it clear that it's in the eye of the beholder.

"When you say, ‘Is there beauty in aging?' Aren't you really saying, ‘Do you think it's possible for other people to find aging beautiful?'" she asked 60 Minutes Australia host Amelia Adams. "And like, I just don't give a s--t."

As the Californication actress concluded, "I think I look rad. I think my face represents who I am. I like it and so, that's basically the end of the road."
