Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart grace the June/July cover of Interview magazine.

Charlize Theron doesn’t rely on a magic mirror to tell her what she already knows: she’s getting older.

The “Snow White and the Huntsman” star, who plays evil stepmother Ravenna in the upcoming action-adventure film, recently told the June/July issue of Interview Magazine that she is coming to terms with the process of aging.

“I look in the mirror and my face is changing, and I have a different relationship all of sudden with myself,” she said. "Your face changes, things change - that’s just kind of what happens.”

In a society obsessed with physical appearance, Theron chooses to take one day at a time when it comes to what she thinks of her body.

“I can’t foresee myself ever going under the knife, but then again, I’m only in my mid-thirties,” she told the magazine. “Maybe it’s different when you’re in your mid-sixties.”

“I don’t know, so I don’t want to make statements about where I’m gonna be in 30 years. But as of right now, I have a different relationship with the way I look,” she added.

The actress admitted that even though she isn’t interested in plastic surgery at the moment, she still reaches for the anti-aging products at times.

“There are days when I definitely look in the mirror and go, ‘All right, I need to find a cream,” she revealed.

And there are times when even the pressures of Hollywood get to her.

“It’s hard, though, in this industry, because I think so much importance is put on how you look, and I’m not brave enough to be like, ‘You know what? I’m just going to let it happen. Whatever. I’m so cool with every line on my face,’” she said.

Despite the pressure of perfection, Theron credits her mother with encouraging her to think more of herself than just what she sees on the outside.

“I’m so grateful that I was raised by a mother who really instilled in me that my moral compass and achievements all had to come from a real place that had nothing to do with my beauty or how I looked,” she said.
