Aguilera looks amazing, and she tells People that it's all natural. Aguilera says that she avoids Botox and other surgeries. "We like expression, especially in my line of work," she explained. "I don't want to have a frozen face. Whether it's being on-camera or performing onstage, I have to stay authentic to my emotion."

2. She’s Self-Assured

Aguilera tells People that she’s comfortable with herself, and that she’s actively built this confidence. "I've seen myself go through different stages of my life and complain about certain things. As I've gotten older, I look back, and I'm like, 'God, every stage is a new era.' I'm really into feeling more self-assured as you get older. That's the thing to truly embrace. It's harmful when [aging] becomes an obsession.”

3. She Keeps Her Skincare Simple

Aguilera has amazing skin, and shared some of her secrets with Allure. She says that she likes to keep her routine simple. “I do not fuss with a 50-step beauty baloney routine. It's just not for me. For some people that might work, and they might like the experience of the whole thing. I'm a mama. I mean, I'd rather be in my bed on my time off playing Nintendo Switch.”

4. She Doesn’t Conform To Beauty Standards

Aguilera tells Allure that she is working on avoiding society’s beauty standards. “It's a lot of stigma, a lot of old-school behavior and ideals that women have to look a certain way and that it's shameful to get older. I've grown up in this business. I started performing at six or seven and then I broke when I was a teenager. No matter what you do, you're going to have people that hate on you. The bigger you are and the more successful, unfortunately, that comes with more hate or more scrutiny. And I'm a very sensitive person, but I'm also very tough at the end of the day.”

5. She Keeps Her Skin Moisturized

Aguilera’s biggest skincare secret is keeping her skin moisturized. She tells Marie Claire, “Sometimes I wash my face the first thing in the morning, sometimes I do not. But moisture is going on no matter what. My skin tends to naturally lean to the drier side—always has. And so depending on what climates I’m traveling to, or how many planes I’m on, it can be crazy dry.”

6. She Does Workouts She Enjoys

Aguilera shared some of her favorite workouts in her Marie Claire interview. She says that she doesn’t like to put pressure on herself when it comes to fitness, and that she does workouts she enjoys. “I like to do things that make me feel good mentally when I work out. I don't like to feel isolated or secluded. If I’m in front of a mirror doing weights, I feel like I'm in rehearsal and it's work. I like to get out of my head.”

7. She Does Outdoor Yoga

One of Aguilera’s favorite workouts to do to stay in shape is outdoor yoga. “I love fresh air, so I prefer hikes when I can get into nature,” she tells Marie Claire. “I love doing yoga outside. Yoga was a big game changer. My life has always been very fast paced and on the go, so yoga really allowed me to stop the clock and slow down mentally. It lets me breathe into my body, stretch, and get into stagnant energy.”

Sofía Vergara is wishing for an endless summer in her swimsuit. In one of her latest social media post the newly single Colombian actress shows off her incredible body and ageless beauty, lounging by the pool with her pals in a brightly hued bathing suit. “Que no se acabe el summer!” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps, which translates to “Don’t let the summer end.” How does the 51-year-old keep herself looking forever young? Here are some of her top beauty tips.

1. She Wears SPF

Vergara, who recently launched her Toty beauty line, stresses the importance of using SPF. Growing up in Colombia near the Caribbean sea, “The plan was always ‘go to the beach.’” But, she admits, “We did it the wrong way. We didn’t know about protecting ourselves — we [applied] coconut oil. It was like frying a chicken,” she told People. However, in the 1990s she learned about the importance of SPF. “It clicked in me,” she said.

2. She Spends 1.5 Hours Doing Her Makeup

Vergara admits she spends a lot of time getting gorgeous. “I wish I could tell you, ‘Oh I like it when I just wake up, and my hair is this.’ No! I like it when I’ve done an hour and a half of hair and makeup. More is more!” She added: “I’m always very put together. I’ve been doing my same makeup since I was 15. I’ve never really loved a lot of foundation or contouring, but I always have eyeliner on, and lashes and lipstick. Even in the morning I put it on. That’s my thing, and of course my sunscreen with the color.”

3. She Embraces Aging

Vergara also embraces aging. “I do see changes that I don’t like, but I try not to focus on them. I’m also now very grateful that I understood to use sun protection when I was younger, because I think that’s why I feel good now with the way I look. That’s what I tell my niece!”

4. She Eats Her Way to Great Skin

Sofia maintains that she relies on a beauty diet. "I eat a lot of vegetables, and I eat blueberries, and I drink green tea," she told Health. "I add a spoon of powdered collagen to chamomile tea at night—I don’t know what that does but I do it! And I try to drink lots of water." She called hydration "the most important part of any beauty routine," she added.

5. She Incorporates Oil

Oil is part of the star’s beauty routine. "After I wash at night, I’ve been using a calendula oil—it’s good for sensitive skin and has really been calming my skin. It’s really oily and nice, so I put it everywhere," Vergara told Health in 2018. She also revealed to Us in 2017 that she sleeps in saran wrap "and [applies] coconut oil everywhere.

Vergara has impeccable skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She tells WhoWhatWear.com that she doesn’t use a lot of products on her skin, especially since she has sensitive skin. “I've developed rosacea. I've been struggling with that for six or seven years. It's hard because I get really red, so I've realized that I've had to treat my skin like sensitive skin, where I didn't before. I used to love products and would try anything. You name it—you tell me to put cement under my eyes, and I'd try it. But unfortunately, now all the fun is gone for me. I can't really wear rich moisturizers or rich oils. Now I have to keep it simple.”

3. She Makes Active Choices To Help Her Skin

In addition to what products she uses, Vergara also makes a lot of choices to help keep her skin clear. She tells WhoWhatWear.com, “I'm very religious about taking my makeup off every night. No sun. I mean, it's no mystery. The typical things that everyone has always told you to do for your skin—those things work. Sleeping enough. Don't drink too much. Don't be in the sun without sunblock. Take your makeup off.”

4. She Makes Healthy Breakfasts

Vergara broke down her daily routine in an interview with Glamour, and she revealed what her favorite breakfast is. She says, "I wake up and shower. After the shower I grab a quick breakfast.
