Dazzling: Naomi Watts looked typically stunning as she and beau Billy Crudup attended the launch party for her new brand Stripes The Watcher star - who became perimenopausal at 36 - felt there was a 'clear' need for the beauty industry to accommodate the 'scalp to vag' impact caused by the changes in hormones.The actress told InStyle magazine: 'It became clear to me that even though some brands were catering towards women of my age group, I didn't feel like they were representing the women in an honest way, whether it was through their ad campaigns or just their general messaging. 'You would find 26-year-olds or 28-year-olds in their advertising, and that just seemed like a promise that we could never fulfill.

And it actually makes you feel bad because you're not seeing yourself represented in that piece of storytelling.'Naomi - whose brand includes 'hair and body stuff' such as 'Dews As I Do' brightening serum and 'The Crown Pleaser' densifying hair mask - felt it was important to add 'vaginal products' to combat dryness caused by menopause.
