1. She Doesn’t Wear Too Much Makeup

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.”

5. She Cut Out Certain Things

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.”

Eva Longoria is showing off her forever young figure in a swimsuit. In one of her latest social media posts the actress and director shows off her incredible body in a bathing suit, posing on the beach with her pals. “Beach day,” she captioned the Instagram Stories photo. How does the actress manage to look as good at 48 as she did at 28? In a recent interview, she revealed all of her secrets to longevity.

1. She Takes “Advantage” of Anti-Aging “Tecnology”

In a recent interview with Reader’s Digest’s The Healthy, Eva was asked about the secret to her longevity. “Nobody is going to beat aging. I’m not doing any anti-aging things. But as you go along life, the technology has been so amazing in the last decade in regards to skincare, and healthcare, and just taking care of your bodies, that why not take advantage of that technology? A lot of women want to feel good in their skin. And so what happened with me was I had Santi, and I gave myself a lot of time to be grateful to my body for producing a human being. So I wasn’t rushing to get back to the way I was before, or How fast is she going to bounce back? and all that. So he was almost a year old by the time I go, ‘OK, let me get back into my workout routine.’ And then it was years later after I was working out regularly eating well, sleeping well, doing everything right, that I finally go, ‘Oh, I still have this saggy skin that I want to tighten up. How do you do that?’ And I was talking to a mommy friend of mine and she was like, ‘Oh honey, you should do Morpheus8.’ And I was like, ‘What? What is that?’ And she said, ‘Oh, it’s this radio frequency that tightens the stomach, or face, or arms, or whatever, and it tightens the skin, and it tells your stomach to wake up and start making collagen again.’ And I was like, ‘Oh wow.’”

2. She Works Out Almost Every Day for Her “Mental Health”

Eva maintains that exercise is not just for her physical health. “I work out five, six times a week, but my workouts are my mental health hour. I really need that energy and endorphins in the morning to really function throughout the day. So I love that it obviously has great side effects of being in shape, but for me it really clears my mind and I’m a better mom, and I’m a better businesswoman, and I’m a better wife because I get those endorphins first thing in the morning,” she told The Healthy.

3. She Loves Her Trampoline Workouts

“So I started coming out of postpartum with bouncing. I love my trampoline workouts because it’s high-intensity but low-impact, and I don’t have the best knees. And I was like, “I can’t run anymore. What could I do that gets that sweat but isn’t so impactful on my body?” Bouncing on the trampoline was amazing. And it’s also great for your mind. It’s a lot of mental gymnastics as well with sequencing, and memorization, and it’s like a dance routine, and so it’s creative. I mean, it was really servicing everything I was looking for at the time,” she told The Healthy.

4. She Also Lifts Weights

Eva uses weight training as a “supplement” to her jumping. “I do a lot of weight training with my trainer,” she said.

5. She Meditates

Eva maintains that “meditating” is another crucial health habit. “It’s just lifesaving, and I only do it five minutes a day. It’s not like I do an hour of meditation. No, sometimes I do it two minutes … but I do it,” she told The Healthy. “It grounds you in your day. I do all these guided meditations.”

Eva Longoria isn't just a former Desperate Housewives star; she's an entrepreneurial force. And now she's headed to the Cannes Film Festival. "That was a long day of travel, but I haven't been in Cannes in so many years and I'm excited to be back," she said on social media, where she also just posted a photo of her in a bathing suit: "The calm before the storm."

She has her go-to breakfasts that start the day off right. "I usually have egg whites and beans,” she said. “For lunch and dinner, Longoria says she usually plans a gourmet meal. "I've been really bringing it during COVID. I've been making everything from fish tacos to shepherd's pie to curry. No day is the same," she said about meals during the pandemic. “If you have heart disease or high cholesterol, be cautious about the number of egg yolks you consume, and take into account all the other forms of saturated fat (red meat, beef, pork, veal and lamb, poultry skin, whole-milk dairy or full-fat cheese) in your diet,” preventive cardiology dietitian Julia Zumpano, RD, LD tells the Cleveland Clinic. “Setting a limit of four egg yolks per week is recommended.”

2. After Trying It All, She Says Moderation is Key

She tried different diets to see what works for her. "I'd do a cleanse. I'd try keto. I'd try no sugar," she said. "I tried. I wanted to do it for the environment, but I just love cheese so much!," she mentioned about her attempt to go vegan. "Life is about moderation, and life is long. One of the greatest ways for me is to enjoy food."

3. She Mixes Up Her Exercise Routine

She mixes up her exercise routine to keep things entertaining. "I do a lot. I'm a runner, I do yoga, I do SoulCycle and I'm just constantly mixing it up," she said. "My workouts now are more weight training. Very serious weight training." Eva works hard with her trainer, Grant Roberts.

4. Wine Is Her Guilty Pleasure

When she was asked about her favorite food, Eva said "Does wine count?" Even though she’s definitely a fan of the vino, she’s obsessed with tacos, too, when it comes to her actual favorite food. “There's literally 100 different versions of tacos." They’re delicious and it keeps her from getting bored.

5. She’s Created A Wellness Shot

Eva’s wellness shot that she swears by consists of an orange, ginger, lemon, honey, lime, turmeric, and cayenne. "Take the skin off all ingredients," she says. Then she adds everything except for the cayenne to a blender, blend, strain, pour, and sprinkle with cayenne. "Should I add tequila? It's probably not a wellness shot if we add tequila," Longoria said.
