1. She Swears by Nivea Cream

No fancy face creams required for Lomana—she swears by humble Nivea to keep her skin supple. “What a wonder! Every time I open the can of @nivea_es its scent brings me to memory scenes from my childhood,” she says. “A ‘must’ in the house and, also in the bag, to guarantee a hydrated skin at all times. Great for nourishing hands, elbows, knees, lips, prevent stretch marks.. this cream works for everything and I always carry it with me.”

2. She Loves to Paddleboard

Lomana is happiest by the sand and sea, and paddleboards whenever she can. Not only is paddleboarding a great full-body workout, it encourages feel-good hormones, “which are great for your mood, self-esteem, mental health and wellbeing,” says physiotherapist Shira Kramer, founder of BeActive Physio in Melbourne.

3. She Enjoys Tea

Lomana enjoys tea as part of her healthy diet, preferring to drink it without milk or cream. “Different teas offer different benefits,” says Beth Czerwony, RD. “Choose what fits your need… Green tea is the champ when it comes to offering health benefits,” says Czerwony. “It’s the Swiss Army knife of teas. It covers a lot of territory. There are so many teas out there. Try different varieties and see what works best for you.”

4. She Loves To Swim

Lomana loves to swim, especially in the ocean. Studies show that being near the ocean is tremendously good for both physical and mental health. "Blue space therapy is a woefully underused method of lifestyle prescription for our physical and mental health. Still, the research proves that taking a dip can boost our wellbeing ten-fold," says Dr. Ruth Micallef. "Wild swimming has a host of research-proven benefits, including improved self-esteem, social confidence, and resilience—to name just a few."

5. She Walks and Hikes

Lomana loves to walk as part of her daily lifestyle, and also for exercise. “The nice thing about hiking is that it exists along an entire continuum, from a gentle walk on a flat wooded path to mountain climbing,” says Dr. Aaron L. Baggish, associate director of the Cardiovascular Performance Program at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. “There’s a real sense of peace and composure you get from being outside and away from everything.”

1. She Loves Oysters

Lawrence enjoys oysters, which are a great source of vitamin D, copper, selenium, iron, vitamin B12, and zinc. “Yes, oysters are very good for you,” says preventive cardiology dietitian Julia Zumpano, RD, LD. “In fact, you probably didn’t know that it’s hard to beat all the health benefits of oysters from a nutritional standpoint. Oysters can really pack a healthy punch. Think of oysters as little shells full of nutrients.”

2. She Stays True To Herself

Being on a reality show didn’t affect Lawrence’s sense of self. “For me it was easy because I just didn’t have to think about it,” she told COMPLEX. “I just said what I wanted to say, I did what I wanted to do. There wasn’t much thought into it because I was like, this is just who I am as a person. I look back and I’m like, OK, maybe I shouldn’t have done or said that, but then I’m like, well, I’m being authentic. So that’s me. And if people don’t like something that I did or said, then they might just not like me.”

3. She Loves Her “Beach Hair”

Lawrence isn’t a fan of the overly-groomed look, preferring messier “beach hair”. “A lot of people just tell me to brush my hair, which I don’t disagree with them,” she jokes. Lawrence’s hair might actually be healthier this way, experts say, "After only a day of not using irons or heat instruments to style the hair, it will be in the condition that our hair is which is dehydrated, fragile, dull, and lifeless," says Garnier celebrity hairstylist Millie Morales. "After a month, you will notice an incredible, stronger change in your hair. You would have recovered the hydration, the natural oils of your hair and would have strengthened the protective layer of the hair."

4. She Loves the Water

Lawrence has posted lots of snaps of herself frolicking in the ocean (in a bikini, of course!). “The color blue has been found by an overwhelming amount of people to be associated with feelings of calm and peace,” says clinical psychologist Richard Shuster, PsyD. “Staring at the ocean actually changes our brain waves’ frequency and puts us into a mild meditative state.”

5. She Loves to Dance

Lawrence enjoys dancing, based on her TikTok posts. “We know that movement is good for everyone,” says Emily Sandow, supervisor of dance physical therapy at NYU Langone’s Harkness Center for Dance Injuries. “A healthy lifestyle is integrating the mind, body and soul relationship, and dance has all of those characteristics. Everyone can do something, even if it’s just you just tapping your foot. Everyone can do something where they can move their body to music, and that’s really valuable.”

Colombian singer Ana Del Castillo is trying to organize her swimsuits during a trip to the Dominican Republic. Del Castillo shared pictures of herself wearing a bright yellow and pink bathing suit, captioning the post “I just want BIKINI PLAN 👙 in PC🇩🇴😈🤤... hehehe.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Del Castillo 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 Loves the Outdoors

Del Castillo is happiest when she’s outside in the fresh air. “It allows you to take a breath, relax, and reset with a better frame of mind,” says Dr. Christine Ashour, Family Medicine and Primary Care, White Plains Hospital Physician Associates, “It doesn’t matter if you’re at a park, in the words, or in your backyard, being in nature can have a calming effect and improve your mental and physical health, especially when it's combined with exercise.”

2. She Travels

One of the perks of Del Castillo’s career is traveling around the world. “Travel itself can be a break from stressors piled up back home; a literal escape where you can focus on your own pleasure and yourself can be a welcome change of pace, and help reduce your body’s stress hormone overdrive,’ says Jean Kim MD. “Even when you return to stressors back home, the memories encoded by travel help maintain a ‘zen space’ you can revisit whenever you need. Mindfulness techniques often recommend returning to a beautiful or peaceful memory to help restore calm and balance anywhere you are.”

3. She’s a Singer

Del Castillo is, of course, a singer, which experts say has many health benefits. “Singing exercises the vocal cords and keeps them youthful, even in old age,” says Graham Welch, director for advanced music education at London’s Roehampton Institute. “The less age-battered your voice sounds, the more you will feel, and seem, younger.”

4. Maintaining Boundaries

Del Castillo is strict about maintaining boundaries and standing up for herself, especially when male fans get aggressive. “Regardless of how I talk, how I dress, how I express myself, everyone deserves respect,” she says. “Yes, because one deserves respect and I see comments like ‘it's her fault,’ like that machismo hasn't changed yet.”

5. Dancing Queen

Del Castillo dances as part of her performances on stage. "Dancing can give you more than traditional cardio," Fabio Comana, an exercise physiologist and education team member for the National Academy of Sports Medicine, told HuffPost. "If exercise is not an enjoyable experience, we're not going to do it. People think, 'I'm not exercising, I'm dancing'. But at the end of the day, you're moving and you're burning calories. It's just as good as a cardio class."
