More Than Skin Deep (Glamour)

To celebrate 50 years of Olay and to raise money for Breast Cancer Care, we asked nine gorgeous celebrities to tell us what they loved about their bodies - not to mention show us. By Cath Rapley.

Women and their bodies - it's a love/hate relationship. We're never 100% happy, and we're always jealous of what someone else has got. And in most cases that someone else also happens to be famous. But how happy are they, really?

To find out, we asked nine stunning women to take their clothes off and talk frankly to Glamour about their bodies. We were really inspired by what they told us. While they might not think they're perfect, they love the skin they're in first and foremost because they're healthy. Skincare specialistsOlay also know that well-being and beauty are inextricably linked - which is why they've decided to celebrate their 50th anniversary by donating one penny for every skincare productthat's sold throughout September and October to the Breast Cancer Care charity. So take your cue from these women and love the skin you're in - ask any man, there's nothing more attractive than a woman who feels good about herself.

"I really love this photograph - I've never had such an intimate portrait taken before. I try to go to the gym three or four times a week - I weight train so that I have a strong back as this supports my chest, which helps with my singing. Although I haven't always been comfortable with my body, I've grown to love it. A couple of years ago I put on a lot of weight after splitting with my boyfriend, but after I saw a photograph of myself in a magazine I started to tackle it. I'm a great believer in takingcontrol and don't like to let things overtake me."
