The poll of 1,600 women aged between 39 and 53 found that 80 per cent believe it is important for them to be considered a beautiful person on the inside as well as the outside. But two-thirds of those polled also said they believe women in their 40s and 50s have been "overlooked for too long". Dr Mike Bell, skincare scientific advisor for Boots No7 Laboratories, which carried out the survey, said: “Research shows that Gen X women are confident and embracing their beauty. ''Our definition of beauty changes as we get older – what was considered beautiful in our 20s may not be the same as our 40s and Gen X women are empowered by their age; to them it is a symbol of the knowledge, experience and confidence they have accumulated.''

The survey also found that regularly displaying kindness and having the courage to stand up for friends are also commonly thought to show someone beautiful. Other signs of beauty include being happy, laughing frequently, and accepting that your body is always changing. The poll also found that 58 per cent of the Generation X women surveyed believe they are at a stage in their lives where they understand what they need to do to look and feel their best.

One third of those polled said they keep to a healthy diet and exercise regularly, while four in 10 allow themselves plenty of time to rest and recuperate when needed. Dr Bell added: ''Research shows that Gen X women are confident and embracing their beauty. ''They are empowered by their age; to them it is a symbol of all the knowledge, experience and confidence they have accumulated."
