Longoria has amazing skin, and one of her secrets is rocking the natural look. “People think the trick to looking younger is makeup, but it’s skin-care,” Longoria told Allure. “If you don’t have good skin, piling on makeup just makes you look older and much worse. When it comes to makeup, I don’t overset or over powder it. The more powder you put on the fine lines in your face, the more you see it. Most people say ‘oh let me cover it’ but it looks much thicker and worse.”

2. She Puts On Sunscreen

Longoria tells Allure that sunscreen is a big part of her skincare. “My mother was so strict on wearing sunblock,” she says. “She always said, ‘the skin you take care of in your 20s is the skin you have in your 40s’.”

3. She’s Not Jealous

On the Connections podcast, Longoria revealed that she avoids feeling jealous. "I think jealousy takes up such an amount of energy," she says. "I remember being so jealous and like, your stomach is inside out. It's the worst feeling. Why would anybody want that feeling?”

4. She Promotes Diversity

Longoria is very philanthropic. One of her goals is to increase diversity in the media. She tells Us Weekly that she is working to get more stories told on television. “I have been part of VH1’s huge diversity initiative to get diverse storytellers behind the camera because if you get ’em behind the camera, then it translates to in front of the camera.”

After having her first child, Longoria decided to eat healthier to lose the baby weight. She told Us Weekly that she has cut out certain food in her regular diet. “I haven’t drunk wine. I haven’t eaten sugar. I haven’t seen a carb in awhile.”

Actress Diana-Maria Riva co-starred with Longoria on the show Telenovela. She tells The Los Angeles Times that she has a space in her home just for relaxing. “There are many nights when I come home from work and I want a little tranquility and serenity and this space affords it to me,” Riva says. “It feels private and protected. You can see the colors of the sunset, and there is plumeria with beautiful pink blossoms. But it doubles as a great entertainment space with wonderful conversations when people come over. I like anything that makes you feel happy to be in my house.”

5. Marcia Cross

Longoria and Marcia Cross starred on Desperate Housewives together. Cross talked about her recovery from cancer with Coping Magazine. “I’m very lucky, but it does take a while for your body to kind of get back to normal,” she said. “I say the new normal is that I am more sensitive of what I eat and take better care of myself and my diet … I do like to remind people that there is life post-cancer, and after a certain time, it won’t be the first thing you think about every day.”

6. Penelope Cruz

Longoria and Penelope Cruz are good friends, and she attended Longoria’s wedding.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Perry talked about how she got in shape for her Vegas residency. “I’m back in the gym about three to five times a week, but really it is about strength training and weights.

When Longoria received a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, Anna Faris showed up to support her. In an interview with Women’s Health, Faris talked about her approach to aging. "I've never had a completely normal cycle, so now that I've passed 40, I do wonder about being premenopausal — and sometimes I feel like my eyes can't focus quite as well. But the larger picture is that I feel happier as I get older. You know how in your 20s and 30s you think, '[Aging] must be so miserable?' But I don't have as many hang-ups now. There's a wonderful liberation."

9. Jaime Camil

Actor Jaime Camil attended Longoria’s wedding. He talked about how he eats healthy to Entertainment Tonight.

Longoria is close friends with Jennifer Lopez. She works with trainer, David Kirsch, to keep herself in shape. Kirsch shared some of Lopez’s workout secrets with Vogue. “Jennifer and I do a lot of platypus walks with a wide stance. Also known as a sumo walking squat. It’s great for your inner thighs and butt. We mix some cardio, plyometrics, full body, core, and lower body into her workouts - they are very, very intense and she takes it very seriously, which is exciting for someone like me.”

11. Jessica Alba

One of Longoria’s good friends is Jessica Alba. Like Longoria, Alba loves to cook. She shared some of her recipes in an interview with Byrdie. “My family likes when I make Cornish game hen—or stir fries, pastas, and lasagna,” Alba said. “The kids are pretty easy; they like pretty much everything. I like to cook. In the summer, we do a lot of grilling; in the winter, we do roasting. We always have roasted veggies. I kind of like to cook anything depending on the weather. If I ever wrote another book, I’d want to do a cookbook. I’d love the excuse to cook for six weeks. It’d be the dream. Each meal would have to be 20 minutes; I like to cook fast.”

12. Kate Beckinsale

Longoria’s friend, Kate Beckinsale, talked about changes she’s made to her fitness routine to Shape. “I love yoga, and that’s all I used to do, but hardcore workouts have really made a big difference in my life,” she said. “I have a lot of internal energy, and intense exercise helps me channel that energy. I find balance by doing a workout that makes me pour sweat. I never was that girl before, but I am now.”

13. Nicollette Sheridan

Nicollette Sheridan starred alongside Longoria on Desperate Housewives. Sheridan opened up about how she handles stress to First For Women. “Sometimes fear causes me stress. Not fear like jumping out of an airplane, but anxiety about everyday things. So when that crops up, I look at it, identify what I’m afraid of and figure out why I’m feeling that way. Then I take a small step to start walking through it. No matter how big the fear you’re facing is, it’s the same formula to get through it: Take small steps and find the positive… and you can overcome anything!”

14. George Lopez

Longoria is good friends with George Lopez. She even guest-starred on The George Lopez Show, and he attended her wedding. Lopez talked about how his diet has evolved to theBrain & Life podcast. “I've made fun of soyrizo on stage, and then I went to the market. Then I got some, and I made it the way my grandma used to make it, with the pan on top of it to let the little balls unravel. And with some eggs, and you can use egg, whites, whatever. And it's just as good soyrizo as regular chorizo. And I think the stains in your shirt come out faster if you wash your shirt, but it's all good, man. If you gave yourself an opportunity to, even just with rice or bread, or go to the market and start with a tortilla. I eat a cauliflower tortilla that to this day you wouldn't have been able to convince me that was it was a cauliflower. I had somebody on a cooking show make cauliflower buffalo wings with sauce, and it's cauliflower, but you could not convince me that that didn't taste like a buffalo wing. And it was cauliflower.”

15. Vanessa Williams

Vanessa Williams also worked on Desperate Housewives with Longoria. In 2014, Williams talked about her diet and exercise to ABC News. "I try to do something everyday, whether it's taking a class or jumping on the treadmill," she said. "Also, yoga, just trying to keep moving for sure."

1. She Enjoys What She Does

Longoria has a very busy schedule, which you think could stress her out. However, you’d be wrong. Longoria says that the secret to managing her stress with her busy schedule is doing projects that she enjoys, and that won’t drain her. “I enjoy everything that I do, and I only say yes to things that don’t give me burnout,” she said to Bustle. “When they approached me to do a podcast, I knew it had to be something I’m going to enjoy, so that every time it’s on my calendar, I don’t dread it. That’s how I approach everything in my life.”

2. She Takes Time For Herself

Longoria tells Bustle that despite her business, she still prioritizes her time to herself. “For me, it’s being aware, taking emotional inventory, working out, meditating, listening to podcasts, and prioritizing ‘me’ time, whether it’s a massage or seeing my chiropractor.”

3. She Monitors Her Sleep

Longoria’s beauty sleep is extremely important to her. She says to Bustle that she used the pandemic to check in with herself, and to make changes to her routine. Longoria decided to monitor her sleep, and see how to get the best sleeping schedule for her. “I have the Oura Ring, which uses biometric data to figure out your sleep pattern. What I found is I get deep sleep when I don’t eat super late, so I usually eat with my son around 5 or 6 in the evening, and then I’m done for the night.”

4. She Uses A Trampoline

Longoria is open about her love of trampoline workouts. She tells Bustle, “It’s so good for lymphatic drainage. I burn more calories doing that than running an hour, so it’s really changed my life.”

5. She Strength Trains

Longoria is also a big fan of strength training and lifting weights. “I do very heavy weights,” Longoria tells Women’s Health. “I feel like my body changes the most when I do that. I wear a heart rate monitor, and I can see my heart rate spike from just doing a heavy bicep curl.”

Over the weekend, Eva shared a bunch of snaps from her recent vacation, demonstrating the results of her rigorous workouts: flat, washboard abs, fit, shapely legs, and gorgeously toned arms.

Eva works hard to maintain her figure, and diet is one of the key components. "Especially as you get older, people want to know the secret to looking good and there is no secret. It's diet and exercise," she revealed to Vogue Australia. She also emphasized the important of doing both. "People say they eat well but they don't exercise. Or they run 20 miles a day but they can't lose weight. You have to do both."

4. Her Workouts Are Intense

"I do a lot. I'm a runner, I do yoga, I do pilates, I do SoulCycle and I'm just constantly mixing it up," she told People. She also works out with trainer Grant Roberts, and does serious weight training. Her Instagram feed is filled with clips of her hardcore workouts, which involve a lot of compound moves to work multiple muscles simultaneously, like squat/rows, sled pushes, battle ropes, and school deadlifts.

5. Her Go-To Cardio? Trampoline

Eva is a huge advocate of trampoline workouts on a JumpSport trampoline. “Saturday workouts are better with a trampoline,” she recently captioned an image of the springy workout tool, which she has dubbed the “Rolls Royce” of trampolines.

6. She Has a Healthy Outlet on Body Image

Eva once revealed to Health that when she was her skinniest, she was also the unhealthiest n. “I try to have a healthy outlook. I'm your everlasting, hopeless optimist!” she said. "I don’t feel like we should go by these rules and social constructs of society where you have to be a certain size to be pretty," she told Health in 2017.
