Demi Moore Creates Beauty Line

The actress, who starred in the films Ghost, A Few Good Men and Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, among others, has designed a cosmetics line after helping her daughters with their skin care routines.

The star, who is the mother of Rumer, 18, Scout, 15, and Tallulah, 12, hopes that her products can cross age barriers.  She explains, "(My line) bridges the gap. That’s something that I see through my experience with my own children; we all use the same things and yet women in general are separated into young and old."

She added, "In truth, we really are all the same. As women we still have the little girl inside of us and as girls, we are just emerging as the women we will be."
