1. Aging Gracefully

Zeta-Jones key to aging gracefully is based on both physical and mental wellbeing. “Take your makeup off every night,” she says. “And hydrate! Hydrate! Hydrate! Drink water. I always have a glass of water nearby. Ultimately, beauty comes from the inside, so do what makes you happy and content.”

2. Inspired by Her Mother

Zeta-Jones’s mother inspired her to always look her best. "My mam always looked glamorous (she still does),” she says. “‘Just making the best of what I’ve got,' she’d say with a flirty wink. 'You never know when you’ll meet the president of the United States!’ God, I couldn’t imagine the president of the United States strutting down our street. Neil Kinnock maybe, the Welsh leader of the Labour Party, but not the president. But duly noted, Mam, duly noted. My love of make-up began with you."

3. Beauty Essentials

Zeta-Jones says she never leaves home without a few beauty essentials. “A small Mason Pearson hair brush, Charlotte Tilbury mascara, MAC Spice Lip Liner, Marc Jacobs Slow Burn lip color, Clé de Peau Intensive Eye Contour Cream and the foundation,” she says. “That’s all for now, because the truth is nothing can be done properly in five minutes.”

4. Smokey Eyes

Zeta-Jones makes a serious effort with her signature smokey eye look. "I hate harsh lines,” she says. “I draw and blend around the eyes with my pencil, extending out a little to elongate just past the lash line. I call this my everyday look. I use an eyelash curler for my eyelashes, which is as essential to me as the vast amounts of water I consume daily. Note to self: I need to add my eyelash curler to my desert island must-haves. (I will forage for water.) Next comes mascara. I don’t hold back here — lashings and lashings. After the lashes, I take my eye pencil and go back for an extra smudge."

5. She Enjoys the Sun

Sunbathing responsibly is crucial for enjoying the sun while minimizing health risks. First, always use sunscreen with an appropriate SPF, even on cloudy days, to protect against harmful UV rays. Reapply it every two hours, or after swimming or sweating. Choose the time of day wisely; avoid sunbathing during peak sun intensity, usually between 10 AM and 4 PM. Wearing protective clothing, like hats and sunglasses, can also shield your skin and eyes from sun damage. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, as the sun can quickly dehydrate your body. Finally, listen to your body; if you feel overheated or burnt, seek shade immediately. Adopting these practices can ensure a safer and enjoyable sunbathing experience.

Nicky Hilton and her sister-in-law are enjoying a pool day together. Hilton just posted a new photo on Instagram of the two of them lounging in chairs, showing off their baby bumps. They wore matching red floral one piece swimsuits. She captioned the post, “Suns out ☀️ Bumps out 🤰Can’t wait for the cousins to meet each other! 🥰.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Nicky Hilton 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 Has A Light Breakfast

Hilton broke down her typical day to Haute Living. She says that she likes to have something light in the mornings. “When I get up, I have some hot water with lemon and a light breakfast: hard-boiled eggs or a homemade smoothie. I don’t usually have a big appetite when I wake up, so I keep it simple and light.”

2. She Goes To The Gym In The Morning

Hilton says to Haute Living that she likes to go to the gym in the morning. “Gym time for an hour. If I don’t go before 10 a.m. I'll never go.” “Reducing sitting time is important, too. The more hours you sit each day, the higher your risk of metabolic problems. Sitting too much can negatively impact your health and longevity, even if you get the recommended amount of daily physical activity. And some research has found that people who've lost weight may be more likely to keep off the lost weight by sitting less during the day,” says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Like her sister Paris, Hilton has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She tells Haute Living, “I have a long and rigorous beauty routine. I take my make-up off, exfoliate, cleanse, tone and then put on eye cream, face cream and hand cream.”

4. She Walks

Hilton tells New You that she likes to do a lot of walking to stay in shape. “I live in New York, so I’m a really big walker. I walk everywhere. I walk when I drop my kids off at school, pick them up, go to appointments and meetings."

5. She Doesn't Restrict Herself

Hilton tells New You that she doesn’t put herself on restrictive diets. “I was pescatarian so I would have no red meat or chicken but in doing so, I did find myself having a lot more carbs because I got hungrier. But I love everything. I always say, everything in moderation. Just don’t be excessive and I think that applies to all walks of life. Everything in life. When you start to be excessive in something is when things can go wrong.”

1. No Social Media TMI

Zeta-Jones loves sharing the odd beach selfie, but you won’t be seeing any TMI couple pictures of her and husband Michael Douglas any time soon. “I’m not always Catherine Zeta-Jones. Most of the time, I’m just Cath," she says. “Cath is the woman who is curled up on the couch with her family. Not everyone knows her, and that’s OK. I’m a very private person. I want to be a private person and I like to have a private life. I’m just not that person you’re going to see posting my bathroom breaks and photos with my husband in the hot tub on social media... There’s still a little bit of that boarding-school girl in me—the girl who got called down to the office for wearing too much makeup. It’s kind of funny I’m launching a business based off of the very thing that used to get me in trouble.”

2. Natural Teeth Whitening

Zeta-Jones relies on fruit to keep her teeth white and shiny. “I love to eat an apple after a meal, just to cleanse my teeth - they always look polished afterwards,” she says. “The juice or pulp of strawberries contains malic acid which serves as an astringent and can lighten surface stains. Pineapples work the same way.”

3. Her Beauty Must-Haves

Zeta-Jones has a few products she has been using for years. “I’ve always, always sworn by Elizabeth Arden’s 8-Hour Cream,” she says. “My grandmother used to use it as the answer to literally everything. When I gashed my shins as a child, it was time for some 8-Hour Cream. Another thing I’ve used since I was a child is a Mason Pearson hairbrush. When I was a kid, there were some rules to having long hair, and the main one was that I had to brush it 100 times each day. My mother gave me my very first Mason Pearson hairbrush as a Christmas present, and to this day, I still use it. I’ve tried everything out there—I have a graveyard of brushes downstairs in my basement— but I always go back to my Mason Pearson brush.”

4. Massage Sessions

Zeta-Jones is passionate about a good spa sessions. “I’m a big massage person, and I’m a big, big, big reflexology person,” she says. “Reflexology is more beneficial than a full-body massage for me. I also like to peel my face. I try not to do any at-home extractions, but I love to get facials. I’m such a girl! I could spend all vacation in a spa, going from a body treatment to a face treatment to whatever else they have on the menu. I really could. I just love it. It makes me feel good.”

5. Argan Oil

Zeta-Jones uses argan oil to keep her skin supple and hydrated. "I'm finding, just from travelling from New York and being in heated hotel rooms, my skin feels like a Walker's crisp at the moment," she previously said. "But I've been using some argan oil just to saturate my skin at night, so it has some nourishment as I sleep, to start the day a little bit more hydrated. The real hydration comes from within. You can never drink too much water. No diet sodas! I think happiness is the best tonic for keeping us youthful. Being happy with who you are inside radiates on the outside.”

Actress Salma Hayek isn’t afraid to show off her body. The Eternals and Magic Mike’s Last Dance star recently shared a stunning new photo on Instagram. In it, she took a boat ride, and wore a light blue two-piece swimsuit. Hayek captioned the post, “Some people don’t like grey days, but I think everyday is precious. Adore your week, No matter what it brings.”

1. She’s Cautious Of The Environment

Hayek supports a lot of different causes. One thing that she is passionate about is protecting the environment. She shared this post on Instagram of herself playing with different animals, and talked about protecting the environment in the caption. “This #WorldEnvironmentDay makes me think extra about the future generations and all the wonderful creatures that depend on our choices and it makes me want to try harder.”

2. She’s Comfortable With Her Body

Hayek is all about body-positivity, and wearing what she wants. In an interview with Glamour, she recalled a conversation with her daughter about a revealing red-carpet look she wanted to wear. “‘But honey, you see the belly,” Hayek said. “‘You see that I have a belly. And I don’t want to be sucking it in.’ And then I said, ‘You know what? Screw that. I’m 56, everything else looks good.’”

3. She Speaks Out Against Sexism

In an interview with Vogue, Hayek talked about the sexism she’s faced in Hollywood. She makes sure to speak out against these standards. "Why should we let them give us an expiration date? I think there is a lot of sexism when it comes to age. They give us a lot of deadlines that they don't have, such as [the idea that] after a certain age, you lose your beauty or nobody will want to marry you. It's incredibly unfair. I wanted to make this character, who is strong, fierce, beautiful, sexy and ready for adventure because women my age, in their mid-fifties, can still be that."

4. She Swims

Hayek loves to swim to stay in shape. She shares a bunch of posts on Instagram of herself in the water. Hayek shared these photos and one video of herself taking a swim in the ocean at sunset. She captioned the post, “Every time I need to feel renewed, I jump into the ocean.” Hayek also posted this photo of herself swimming by rock formations, captioning it, “Today is #nationalwaterday but let’s not forget any day how precious water is.”

5. She’s Present

In an interview with Marie Claire, Hayak revealed some of her secrets for building confidence. “It’s about being in the present and being alive. When you’re present you forget certain things; I’m not thinking about how old I am when I wake up. I don’t even look in the mirror. Though, sometimes when I do look in the mirror I go, ‘Oh Jesus’, or I’ll think ‘How come I’m always tired?’ and I’ll remember, ‘Ah, I’m older now’. When it dawns on me, I make the effort to connect with life again. I’m just amazed that at my age I’m still working and having the best moment of my career. At this point I’m just grateful.”
