In the Dutch television series 'Zij aan Zij' ('Side by Side'), broadcast by LINDA, host Stijn de Vries, 28, discovered a specific beauty and anti-aging habit used by his 'Who's the Spy?' co-host Bridget Maasland, 52. The segment, part of the show's exploration of generational connections, reveals Maasland's unconventional approach to skincare and aging. De Vries reflected on the first time he witnessed Maasland's sleeping routine during their time as roommates while filming 'Wie is de Mol?' (Who's the Spy?). He described the sight as striking, noting that Maasland lies perfectly flat on her back, a position he initially joked looked like she was lying 'half dead'. [1]
The reason behind this rigid sleeping posture is anti-aging maintenance. Maasland explained that maintaining a flat back prevents wrinkles from forming on the face due to pillow pressure. De Vries humorously recounted asking her why she lay so still, to which she replied, 'Darling, that is against wrinkles,' highlighting her commitment to skin preservation. [1]
Maasland remains highly knowledgeable about beauty trends despite being outside the Gen Z demographic that heavily dominates TikTok and Instagram beauty hacks. While younger generations often start extensive regimens with serums and masks before any signs of aging appear, Maasland utilizes experienced, preventative techniques. [1]
Beyond her sleeping habit, Maasland shares further self-care advice with De Vries, including her solution for applying SPF over existing makeup and her specific methods for finding calm and balance during the autumn season. Conversely, De Vries also shares beauty rituals he relies on, creating a mutual exchange of tips across the generational divide. [1]
The episode frames their relationship as one of mutual affection and respect, with De Vries joking that they could easily be 'extra mothers and sons'. This dynamic mirrors other episodes of 'Zij aan Zij', such as the recent feature with actress Nazmiye Oral and presenter Quinty Misiedjan, where hosts challenge stereotypes by finding common ground in skincare, lifestyle, and personal habits.

The 'Zij aan Zij' series is a lifestyle and beauty program produced by LINDA, sponsored by the beauty retailer ICI PARIS XL. The current episode, themed around 'Confetti Season' and autumnal aesthetics, invites viewers to watch the full conversation, exploring the nuanced bond between the two presenters. [1]
