Keira Knightley is one of the most successful actresses of all time. She first came into prominence with her role in Bend It Like Beckham. From there, she starred in the Pirates of The Caribbean franchise, Begin Again, and Love Actually. She received an Academy Award nomination for her role in Pride and Prejudice. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 7 ways Keira Knightley stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!
1. She Keeps Her Skin Moisturized

Knightley opened up about her skincare routine in an interview with Vogue. She says that she has had to change her skincare routine over the years. In particular, she has had to keep her skin moisturized. “Since having a baby and being over 30, it's also getting dry for the first time. That's why I have started to use oils and moisturisers over the past few years.”
2. She Doesn’t Get Too Many Treatments Done

Knightley tells Vogue that she doesn’t like to have too many facial treatments done. “I try to leave my skin alone as much as possible. When I am at work I put my skin through a lot, so it makes me want to not do anything when left to my own devices. Maybe about three times a year I might get a facial, but otherwise it's literally as little as possible. I had really bad skin until I was 24 and up until then I did everything under the sun to it. Then one day I thought I would try to leave it and that's what suited it better.”
3. She’s Comfortable With Herself

Knightley toldELLEin 2015 that she is a lot more comfortable with herself after becoming a mother. “I have to say, as a woman, you hate certain parts of your body. You go through those periods where you look in the mirror and you think, ‘Oh, if only I had different legs or arms or whatever.’ You go through pregnancy and labour and then feeding the kid and you go, ‘Wow, my body is totally amazing, and I'm never going to not like it again, because it did this, and this is f***ing extraordinary.’”
4. She Goes To Therapy

Knightley tells ELLE that she is going to therapy as a way to help with her anxiety. “I've totally done therapy. I highly recommend it. I don't do it at the moment. But in my early twenties when I found everything completely overwhelming, 100 percent, I did it!”
5. She Doesn’t Wear Too Much Makeup

Knightley has to wear makeup when she is filming something. For this reason, she tells Vogue that she doesn’t like to wear makeup when she’s free. “That's also why I always want to wear as little make-up as possible when I am not working. When I'm filming, I always have a breakout as we have to cake the make-up on. I think it needs a break every now and again to be able to breathe.”
6. She Takes Rosehip Oil On The Road

Knightley tells Vogue that she is working on taking care of her skin while traveling. She says that she brings rosehip oil with her, which helps. “I completely fail to keep myself on an even keel with my skincare when travelling, but I have just discovered rosehip oil, which a friend of mine recommended. Flights are so hard on your skin and they make it so dry, so I gave this a go and it really worked. Now I always travel with it.”
7. She Keeps Her Brows Natural

In addition to keeping her face natural, Knightley also keeps her eyebrows natural. “My brow tip has always been to leave them well alone,” she tells Vogue. “Really early on in my career a make-up artist said to me: ‘you will always be able to know if someone is a good make-up artist because if they tell you to pluck your brows, run a million miles.’ I have always stuck to that. Partly because when I was 21, I did one of those LA brow treatments (the type of one that makes everyone's brows look the same) and it looked awful. The proportions of my face didn't work at all with less of a brow, so I am very glad they grew back! Now, I just do minor touch-ups, maybe a little tweezing, but I never touch the top. Just a little bit under the arch. They are naturally a bit short, so if I am on a red carpet or going out, I will ever-so-slightly elongate them with a pencil to bring them a little further out.”

To prepare for her role in Red Sparrow, Jennifer Lawrence worked with a ballet trainer, Kurt Foreman. “Even though we knew there was going to be a dance double doing the moves she wasn’t going to do, we had to do everything to train her to do everything from the waist up,” he said to Body + Soul. “I worked with Jen six days a week, three hours a day for three months, as well as doing cross training in the form of Pilates, or toning and weight-training, or gyrotonics.”
2. Julia Roberts

Julia Roberts opened up about her approach to wellness in an interview with InStyle. She says that she tries to not overthink things, especially with her diet. "I feel like if I knew all the things to do (in terms of exercise), I would probably look like I was put together with tape. I would just go crazy. So I think, better just to remain calm, drink your water, get your sleep and be joyful.”
3. Anna Kendrick

Anna Kendrick lives a busy life, however, she told Shape in 2020 that she is working on taking breaks. "I'm trying to have a sense of play," she says. "A lot of my life over the last decade has been work, recover, work, recover. That doesn't leave much room for anything else. That's the mindset and the reality for a lot of people. You work and then recover so you can work some more. Putting some fun and silliness into my life is one of my goals."
4. Reese Witherspoon

Oscar-winner, Reese Witherspoon, is known for her amazing skin. She shared her secrets in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar. "I started looking for clean beauty solutions probably like a year and a half ago," she revealed. "I was in my hometown Sephora and was looking at the Biossance products. It has such great reviews, and somebody mentioned it to me so I bought a bunch. I just started using them. And I found them so effective, completely luxurious, unlike any other clean product I've ever used. And I was just hooked."
5. Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks is open about his Type 2 Diabetes diagnosis. In 2014, he told the BFI London that this is why he no longer gains or loses weight for roles. "I've talked to a number of actors who have gained weight for roles, and just the sheer physical toll it puts on one's knees and shoulders—no one wants to do it again I'm 57 and I don't think I'm going to take on any job or go on vacation again and see to that I can gain 30 pounds."
6. Sam Smith

Earlier this year, Sam Smith opened up about their new album Gloria to Billboard. They said that they feel comfortable with where their career is. “I really do feel like I’m in that place. Of course I want people to like (Gloria), but I’m on my fourth album now. I don’t feel like I have to prove so much, I just want to enjoy what I make and enjoy my job.”
7. John Legend

In 2019, John Legend opened up about changes he had to make to his lifestyle to People. “My doctor told me that I needed more antioxidants in my diet,” he said. “Because I had hereditary cholesterol issues, and he told me that adding vegetables was a good way to address it, so I started having something green with every meal. Breakfast, lunch and dinner.”

Unlock the secrets of ageless beauty as we delve into the skincare routines of 11 renowned stars. From Jennifer Lopez's radiant glow to Salma Hayek's unwavering commitment to cleansing, each celebrity reveals their unique approach to maintaining youthful skin. Halle Berry shares her love for a dewy complexion, while Sarah Jessica Parker emphasizes the importance of hydration. Kelly Ripa combines ancient face rolling techniques with a morning coffee ritual, while Gabrielle Union swears by the power of water. Join us as we explore the skincare rituals of Cindy Crawford, Padma Lakshmi, Kerry Washington, Nicole Kidman, and Tracee Ellis Ross. Uncover their timeless beauty secrets and discover your path to age-defying allure.
1. Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez is known for her ageless looks, and shared some of her secrets in an interview with InStyle. "My mom and aunts swear by olive oil to deliver a glow. The hero ingredient in JLo Beauty is a modernized version of olive oil, called the Olive Complex. It's a combination of ingredients derived from extra-virgin olive oil, fermented oil, leaf extract, and squalane. It gives the skin this weightless, all-day hydration, antioxidant protection, and an ageless radiance. And it doesn't smell like salad dressing
2. Salma Hayek

For Salma Hayek, skincare is a daily thing. "I've never gone to bed without washing my face,” she told InStyle. “Never in my life. Even if I'm sick, tired — heck, even if I was drunk! I might forget to take off the dress, the shoes, and the jewelry, but not the makeup. It's second nature."
3. Halle Berry

For Halle Berry, skincare is all about keeping her skin a little hydrated.  "No matter what age you are, you always look a little better when your skin is a little dewy, not too powdery,” she explained to InStyle. I went through phases where all I wanted to do was be matte and powdered up, but then I found it wasn't the best look for me. Before I do my makeup, I spray my face with rosewater and let that sink in. It keeps my makeup looking very dewy, and I feel like it just makes me look more youthful, alive, and fresh."
4. Sarah Jessica Parker

For Sarah Jessica Parker, skincare is all about hydration. "The thing I'm most diligent about is washing my face," she told InStyle. "I say to my husband, 'Oh, I'm so tired, Matthew! I don't want to wash my face.' He's like, 'Why do you need to?' He doesn't get it. I also always wear moisturizer and lip balm."
5. Kelly Ripa

TV host and actress, Kelly Ripa broke down her anti-aging secrets to InStyle. She says that each morning, she takes care of her skin. “My day starts around 5 a.m.," she says. "I'm way into jade and rose quartz face rollers, so I put them in a bowl of ice and literally sit there and roll my face until I'm awake. But there's nothing like a good cup of coffee."
6. Gabrielle Union

Gabrielle Union has become known for her amazing skin. She shared some of her tips in an interview with Byrdie. "I do drink a gallon of water a day. I started that in my mid to late 30s. So for a good 10 years, I've been drinking a gallon of water a day. It makes a difference for hair, skin, nails, all of it.”
7. Cindy Crawford

Cindy Crawford has maintained her supermodel good looks into her 50s. She even had her own line of skincare. "It's never too early, and never too late, to start taking care of your skin,” Crawford told Byrdie. “Dr. Jean-Louis Sebagh taught me the daytime is about protecting your skin and then the nighttime is about restoring it. I have learned that it's like working out. You work out once—you don't really see a big difference. But if you work out regularly for years, you do. I think skincare is the same way. So I've made taking care of my skin part of my routine.”
8. Padma Lakshmi

TV host Padma Lakshmi is surrounded by food. And this includes her skincare. “The biggest thing for skin, and it doesn't cost a lot of money, is honey,” she revealed to Byrdie. “When I used to travel and I didn't have a lot of money, I would always find honey on the breakfast tray at a hotel or something. You just wash and cleanse your skin, take all the makeup off, pat your skin dry, and then slather honey all over your face, avoiding the delicate eye area. And then you just tap your fingers on your face, almost like you're playing piano on your skin. And what that does is pull out the impurities in your pores without upsetting the pH balance.”
9. Kerry Washington

Kerry Washington shared some of her beauty secrets in an interview with Allure. She says that she loves products with hyaluronic acid, and cites a concealer and gel-cream from Neutrogena as favorites. “It has hyaluronic acid in the center,” she says of the concealer. “So when you use it, you’re moisturizing while you’re covering. It’s great for under-eyes and laugh lines. I have spots like anybody else, particularly from hormones from pregnancy and then nursing. I use concealer to help along the way while they’re fading.” Washington also explains about the gel-cream, “I love moisturizers that do double duty. This one contains hyaluronic acid. I haven’t put any [fillers] on the inside yet, but I’m digging hyaluronic acid on the outside. I think it’s God’s gift to women.”
10. Nicole Kidman

One of Nicole Kidman’s biggest skincare secrets is sun protection. “I’m so outdoorsy,” she told Byrdie. “I love playing tennis, and I love working out outdoors. I love going for a run and swimming, and I just want to be able to do all of that and protect my skin because I get burnt. So having the access to Neutrogena’s skincare and suncare is fantastic for me. And I know a lot about it because I’ve researched it; I’ve been educated; I have enormous knowledge about it now. I use vitamin C too because that does give you some protection long-term.”
11. Tracee Ellis Ross
Steven Ferdman/Getty Images
Tracee Ellis Ross broke down her skincare routine to Vogue. My skincare routine is extensive. “At night, if I’ve worn make-up when I’m working, I use Bioderma to remove my make-up. Then I use CosMedix Benefit Clean, which is a bit of a soapy cleanser, and I use it with a mitt. After that I do a Terri Lawton Serum Toner. Usually at night, I’ll apply the Retrouvé Intensive – it’s a really hydrating moisturiser – and then I put Biologique Recherche T.E.W.L. serum over that. In the morning, I use Retrouvé Gentle Cleanser, and while it’s on my face I use the Pause Well-Aging Gua Sha for about three minutes. After I’ve rinsed the cleanser off with a warm washcloth, I put the Biologique oil on my face, and then use the the brand’s Cryo Sticks – they look like little teardrops and I keep them in the fridge. I do about two minutes on my face with them.”

1. Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba opened up about her diet in an interview with Women’s Health. She says that she believes in balance and moderation. For her, this means eating a plant-based diet on occasion. “Four days a week, I try to eat plant-based, and I don’t drink alcohol,” Alba explained. “Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, all bets are off. That feels like moderation to me.”
2. Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron opened up about her wellness and beauty secrets in an interview with Red Online. She says that eating healthy is important to her, and shared some of her favorites. “I have juices and kale and green salads every single day,” she says. “When I’m eating healthily, getting enough sleep and not drinking alcohol, that’s when I look my best.

3. Jennifer Aniston
Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
Jennifer Aniston revealed to British Vogue that she has changed her approach to working out. She says that she aims to not burn herself out with exercise. “It used to be pounding, pounding, pounding. You had to get 45 minutes to an hour of cardio; otherwise, you weren’t getting a workout. Not only do you stress your body, you burn out – who wants to do that at all?”
4. Halle Berry
Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images
Halle Berry tells Women’s Health that she makes sure to do ab and core workouts. And there’s one exercise she’s a big fan of. "One abs move I do incorporate into my workouts pretty often is planks,” Berry revealed. “I never did planks back in the day, but they've made a huge difference for my core strength and definition. Sometimes, I'll just hold a plank for as long as I can. My abs start to ache first, but pretty soon my entire body feels like it's on fire."
5. Kate Hudson
Vivien Killilea/Getty Images
Kate Hudson is open about her love of fitness, being the owner of Fabletics. She shared some of her approach to fitness to People. "I love my body," she says. "It has birthed three children and given me so much more — you must honor your relationship with yourself and hold that sacred. And for that reason, it is so important to me to find time to make sure I'm fueling my body in the ways it fuels me, even if that means changing up my fitness routine so that I'm always challenging myself to achieve new goals."
6. Anne Hathaway
Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
After welcoming her first child, Anne Hathaway opened up about her post-baby weight loss in a 2016 interview with People. “Some things I guess are the same as they were, and other things are a little bit different. I’m just so proud of what the changes signify. So, there’s no rush to do anything. I’m so happy being here.”
7. Cameron Diaz
Donato Sardella/Getty Images
In 2016, Cameron Diaz opened up about her diet to Bon Appetit. “Since my mid-30s, I've been conscientious about my eating and good nutrition. It's not really something I grew up with. What I really learned about aging was the five pillars of well-being. They're integrated and we need 'em all.”
8. Gwyneth Paltrow
Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
Gwyneth Paltrow talked about her diet on her Instagram story. “I’ve been working with Dr. Cole to really focus on foods that aren’t inflammatory … so lots of vegetables, cooked vegetables, all kinds of protein, healthy carbs to really lower inflammation and it’s been working really well. This is, you know, based on my medical results and extensive testing that I’ve done over time.”
9. Kate Beckinsale
Frazer Harrison/Getty Images
In 2016, Kate Beckinsale talked about her diet and exercise routine to Shape. She says that she opts to workout first thing in the morning. "I basically wake up, eat breakfast, and then work out. I prefer to get it done in the morning. That said, I don't naturally get up early. It would be much better for me if the entire world went to bed at 4 a.m. and woke up at noon. But it doesn't, so I'm usually staggering around first thing."
10. Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson works with trainer, Eric Johnson, to help keep herself in shape. Johnson opened up about the actress’ diet and exercise routine to Harper’s Bazaar in 2019. Johansson cycled through different foods to help her lose weight. “She cycled through days of high carbohydrates and low fat consumption, versus low carbohydrates and higher fat while maintaining protein intake.”
11. Blake Lively

Blake Lively works with trainer, Don Saladino, to keep herself in shape. Saladino talked about working with Lively to E! News. "She's really trying to show that level of consistency and I think that's what it comes down to," he said. "That's a good line that Blake and I have. If we're gonna come into a session, it's not about going into every session with a Rocky-type mentality."

Drew Barrymore has a busy schedule, which means she doesn’t always have time to workout. She shared some of her secrets to staying motivated with Shape. “I've been trying to have standing workouts with my girlfriends, otherwise I totally lose the motivation, and it's such a bummer, but left to my own devices, I'm not gonna work out," she said. "But if I have standing workouts with my friends, I'm gonna do it. So, I love accountability. I also love being with my friends, and doing something positive and healthy is a great hang time.”

Jessica Biel talked about her strict diet to The Los Angeles Times. “Honestly, I just feel better when I don't have gluten or wheat or dairy," she said. "My digestion is better, I feel better, I have more energy." Biel also shared some of her favorite healthy foods in the interview. “We’ll start off with Paleo pancakes with some cashew or almond butter on top with some local honey, and we like chicken-apple sausage, and then maybe a fresh juice from the Juicero machine, which we love, we have some green tea with honey—that’s a pretty normal morning for me.”

Zoe Saldana opened up about how she fits workouts into her busy schedule in an interview with Shape. “I try to work out three times a week, but I don't believe in getting on one machine for 30 minutes,” she said. “If I do a lot of cardio, it usually just means I'll be dragging my feet for the rest of the day. And when I'm shooting, I really don't like to be strict with my workout, since I'm already putting in 16-hour days. So I do 20-minute intervals either at the gym or at home, where I run in place for 30 seconds, then do squats, then carry a heavy medicine ball a few times in a row until I get my heart rate up."
15. Mindy Kaling

Mindy Kaling has changed her approach to diet and exercises. She opened up about what changes she made to Today. “In my 20s, I thought a workout had to be something that was punishing, like 45 minutes of running and you had to hate it the whole time,” she revealed. “I don’t have that relationship with exercise anymore…Sometimes I’ll be like, ‘Well, I have four different times today where I have 10 minutes so let’s just walk instead of sitting down and checking Instagram.’ So instead of it being like one chunk of exercise in the beginning of the day or none at all, I’m now just deciding that I’m going to be a more active person all the time.”
16. Melissa McCarthy

Melissa McCarthy is open about her struggles with body image and self-esteem. “I finally said, ‘Oh for God sakes, stop worrying about it,’ and it may be the best thing I’ve ever done,” she said on CBS Sunday Morning. “I truly stopped worrying about it. I stopped over-analysing, over-thinking, over-doing anything… I just stopped constantly being worried about it and I think there’s something to kinda loosening up and not being so nervous and rigid about it that, bizarrely, has worked.”
17. Amy Schumer

Amy Schumer works with trainer, Jen Wiederstrom, to help her stay in shape. Wiederstrom talked about the comedian and actress’ workout routine to Shape. Schumer likes to do a lot of Pilates exercises. "We've had to do a lot of rebuilding around her core [and] back where there was once a lot of weakness. She lights up when she gets to tackle a new Pilates movement,"
18. Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica Parker tells Life & Style that she keeps her workouts simple. “I walk a lot. I think walking is great. I have a Fitbit. I also live in a house with four flights of stairs.” According to Better Health, walking has a lot of benefits. “Walking for 30 minutes a day or more on most days of the week is a great way to improve or maintain your overall health.”
19. Jennifer Lopez

No matter how busy she gets, Jennifer Lopez makes sure to workout on a regular basis. "Very rarely will I skip my workout," Lopez told UsWeekly in 2015. "Sometimes, I work too late the night before and I'm like, 'Ugh, I can't do this.' But I tell myself, 'Just do it. It's only an hour.' It's just talking yourself off the ledge of being a lazy bum."
20. Rose Byrne

Rose Byrne shared how she stays fit in an interview with Shape. “Exercise is a juggling thing with small kids,” she admitted. “I've been taking a lot of long walks and hikes. All that cliché stuff. And doing yoga, which I started when I was 15 and rediscovered during quarantine. I try to do it every day for 15 to 20 minutes. It's a great way to quiet the mind.”

Sophie Turner, famed for her portrayal of Sansa Stark in the iconic "Game of Thrones" series, captivated audiences with her resilience and growth from a young noblewoman to a powerful leader. Her role in the epic HBO fantasy was pivotal, showcasing a journey of survival, political acumen, and strength.
Here we delve into the fitness and beauty secrets of Turner and her star-studded circle. From skincare routines to workout regimes, discover the strategies that keep Turner and her celebrity friends, including Maisie Williams and Kit Harrington, in top shape. Uncover the photos that prove their methods work, and get inspired by their dedication to health and wellness.

Sophie Turner shared some of her favorite skincare products with New Beauty. “Rilastil Laboratory Milano,” she says. “It’s totally changed my life—I don’t know what it says on the front or the back, but I just asked the woman at the pharmacy, I was like, ‘My skin is breaking out, can I have something?,’ and so she gave me this and it’s a life-saver. It just calms your skin down.”
2. Maisie Williams

Turner is best friends with her Game of Thrones co-star, Maisie Williams. In an interview with GQ, Williams opened up about not caring about what others think. “We subconsciously base our goals and achievements on the way they’re viewed by other people. And it doesn’t matter whether or not you achieve those things, because it’s for the satisfaction of someone else. It never feels as good as you pictured it in your head…The more I tried to be like, ‘Am I like her? Am I like him?’, the more confused I got. Now I just feel like I am doing everything I want to do when I want to do it.” 
3. Kit Harrington

Turner worked with Kit Harrington on Game of Thrones. Harrington and his trainer, Dalton Wong, talked about the actor’s diet and workout to Men’s Health. “I was eating all the time,” Harrington said of his time on GOT. “Loads of good carbs, like brown rice and sweet potatoes.”
4. Taylor Swift

Turner has been seen hanging out with Taylor Swift. The two have grabbed dinner and attended a Chiefs game together. In an interview with ELLE, Swift talked about finding acceptance in her body. “I worked hard to retrain my brain that a little extra weight means curves, shinier hair, and more energy. I think a lot of us push the boundaries of dieting, but taking it too far can be really dangerous. There is no quick fix. I work on accepting my body every day.”
5. Blake Lively

Turner also attended a Chiefs game with actress, Blake Lively. In an interview with Beauty Crew, Lively shared her secrets for perfect, healthy hair. “Sometimes I rub coconut oil on the ends before shampoo. It’s great in winter when the air can be dry. I don’t spend hours at the salon; I do, of course, get haircuts, but I don’t go every six weeks.”
6. Ryan Reynolds

Turner attended a Chiefs game with Ryan Reynolds. His trainer, Don Saladino, shared his diet with Men’s Health, and says that the actor eats a lot of healthy carbs. ”Sweet potato is one of his favourite carbohydrates. He’d do oatmeal and protein in the morning. Brown rice and a little bit of fruit. His body became the best it has ever been when he started consuming carbs; it gave his body the energy it needed to start looking the way he wanted to start looking.”
7. Hugh Jackman

Turner also hung out with Hugh Jackman at the Chiefs game. Jackman is a big fan of meditation. “I have a feeling of coming home, experiencing my true self and not just being caught up in the monkey mind or being reactive to life,” he said in an interview with Tim Ferris. “And that gives me a finer energy. I don’t always come out of meditation ready to do a one-hour Peloton class, but I always come out with a finer energy. My intention feels clearer. My listening is more purposeful, and things feel easier and more connected.”
8. Peter Dinklage

Peter Dinklage worked on Game of Thrones with Turner. In a New York Times interview, he spoke out against aggressive fans. “It’s more about just on a human level, I’m not a zoo animal. I’m a person. Let’s say I’m having a really bad day, or I just got off the phone and you’re right in my face. Am I supposed to smile for you? And why aren’t you actually communicating with me? More often than not, people take pictures without asking, and sometimes when I respond, even kindly, they don’t say anything because they’re almost surprised I’m talking to them. It’s really wild. If you’re a fan of what I do, why would you pay me back with that?”
9. Jessica Chastain

Turner is close friends with Jessica Chastain. In an interview with Shape, Chastain talked about how she became a vegan. "I became a vegan about 14 years ago. At the time, I was very low energy, and I remember getting sick. I was making one of my first films, in which I had to play different ages of the character's life, and I wanted to change my body accordingly. So I would gain weight and then lose it really quickly. After that, my body was wrecked. A friend said, 'You should try this two-week vegan raw-food diet.' I hated it. The first week, I was so miserable. But by the second week, I had so much energy. When the two weeks were over, I was like, I'm done! I went to a restaurant and ordered risotto and fish. And that night, I felt sick again. I decided that my body was clearly telling me the way it wanted me to eat. I was raw vegan for about nine months. Now I'm just vegan.”
10. Cara Delevigne

Turner recently grabbed dinner with Cara Delevigne. The model shared her skincare routine with Vogue. “I'm not someone that is so adamant on an everyday thing, you know sometimes a face wipe is enough. I have started using anti-aging products quite young cause I think, why not? It's ideal, thank you. Add that in. I've started taking collagen as well which is really good for your hair and nails. Prevention is what it’s all about. I travel a lot and it does impact my complexion. I get bags under my eyes and then I don't look and feel my best. Beauty is only skin deep, but when you do have bad skin you just, unfortunately, don't feel as good as you should. It's important to feel good about yourself on the inside.”
11. Selena Gomez

Turner also went out to dinner with Selena Gomez. The actress and singer has her own beauty line, Rare Beauty, and shared her personal favorite products with ELLE. “I’m obsessed with this hand cream because it’s rich yet never greasy, and the scent makes me feel calm and relaxed. I also love that it opens in just one twist—you never have to worry about losing the cap.”

Sophie Piper is embracing island life – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Love Island beauty shows off her fantastic figure in a swimsuit during a tropical vacation at Kandima Maldives with Josh Ritchie. “Island life,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken at the picturesque resort. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

            
                She Doesn't Go Under the Knife

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

            
                She Skis

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline. 

            
                She Loves Group Fitness

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness influencer and expert. She has her own app, called Tammy Fit. Hembrow has a lot of challenges on her app. Recently, she advertised a challenge with a workout video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “We are 3 days into our first @tammyfitapp challenge of the year & I am more motivated than everrrrr. (Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! And I CANNOT wait to see everyone’s results at the end of the 8 weeks. We got thissss 💪🏼”

            
                She Does Pulldowns

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

            
                She Lifts Weights
            
            
        Tammy Hebrew/Instagram
Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that using weights to workout has a lot of benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

            
                She Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker. And it also can help educate you on your food choices when it comes to nutrition, ratios, hidden calories, overeating or under eating etc. honestly I’d recommend any beginner try it out just to get a good feel for how you’re fuelling your body!! I feel like when people think of ‘meal tracking’ it can be seen as something that seems restrictive or something only bodybuilders do. When in reality it can be such a helpful tool and you can learn things that will actually encourage long term habits 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

            
                She Loves Bananas
            
            
        Tammy Hebrew/Instagram
Hembrow is seen enjoying bananas in her “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that bananas have a lot of benefits. “A single medium-sized banana offers about 32 mg of the mineral magnesium, which fulfills around 8% to 10% of your daily magnesium requirement. Magnesium is involved in many processes in your body, including: Blood pressure. Blood sugar levels. Building proteins. Maintaining bone. Muscle function. Nerve function.”

            
                She Loves Cottage Cheese

Hembrow is seen enjoying her bananas with cottage cheese in the previous Instagram video. Cottage cheese is very healthy. UCLA Health reports, “Cottage cheese’s protein content and low calories make it an ideal food for weight management. Research shows that whether you are trying to lose weight or reduce your risk of overweight or obesity, eating a high-protein diet can help you feel full and satisfied for longer.”

It’s hard to believe that Jennifer Aniston is 55 and turning 56 in February! Since soaring to fame in 1994, the Friends star has hardly aged in the three decades that have passed – and she has never been secretive about her devotion to health and wellness. Her hard work over the years has paid off through her strong and lean body and ageless looks. Here is everything you need to know about Jennifer Aniston’s approach to longevity. 

            
                She Maintains a High Protein Diet

"My nutrition is very much the same. It's usually a lot of high protein, vegetables, salads, soups,” she tells People. “I do 80/20. I give myself days where I can have whatever I want. I don’t deprive myself,” she added to TODAY. Why should you consider amping up your protein intake? According to clinical trials, consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight (BW) but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.

            
                She Cheats on Occasion

Jennifer allows herself to indulge in “everything I would possibly want on a weekend,” she told People. Her cheat meal “depends,” she says. “I mean, dare I sound repetitive, but Mexican food is a real favorite of mine. It's not even that much of a cheat, to be honest. Or a cheeseburger or pizza or pasta — all that stuff.”

“My bigger challenge is sleep. I think that’s all part of our nutritional hygiene — the amount of water we get as well as the amount of sleep we get. It’s the combination of all of those things that make your workouts the most effective," she told TODAY.

“I’ve become gentler with myself,” she says of her approach to fitness, which has “definitely evolved” over the years. “I find that I can be gentler on my body and still get the benefits of a great workout,” she told Prevention. She specifically loves P.Volve workouts, a functional fitness that helps you “function throughout the day” and “work out your essential muscle groups to keep your body strong,” she says. “So you can live a long, healthy, strong life.”

            
                She Hydrates

Aniston prioritizes hydration, drinking a whopping 100 ounces of water per day. "But occasionally I just have to have a Diet Coke—there's nothing like it!" According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

            
                She Does Pilates, Spinning, Elliptical, and Running Workouts

“I had an injury last fall and I was only able to do Pilates, which I absolutely love. But I was missing that kind of sweat when you just go for it,” she recently told InStyle. “I'm going back to my 15-15-15, which is a 15-minute spin, elliptical, run. And then just old school: I can chase myself around a gym. I need some kind of movement, even if it's just 10 minutes a day on a trampoline.”
