Sofía Vergara Shares Swimsuit Photo Begging "Let Summer Not End"

Sofía Vergara is wishing for an endless summer in her swimsuit. In one of her latest social media post the newly single Colombian actress shows off her incredible body and ageless beauty, lounging by the pool with her pals in a brightly hued bathing suit. “Que no se acabe el summer!” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps, which translates to “Don’t let the summer end.” How does the 51-year-old keep herself looking forever young? Here are some of her top beauty tips.

1. She Wears SPF

Vergara, who recently launched her Toty beauty line, stresses the importance of using SPF. Growing up in Colombia near the Caribbean sea, “The plan was always ‘go to the beach.’” But, she admits, “We did it the wrong way. We didn’t know about protecting ourselves — we [applied] coconut oil. It was like frying a chicken,” she told People. However, in the 1990s she learned about the importance of SPF. “It clicked in me,” she said.

2. She Spends 1.5 Hours Doing Her Makeup

Vergara admits she spends a lot of time getting gorgeous. “I wish I could tell you, ‘Oh I like it when I just wake up, and my hair is this.’ No! I like it when I’ve done an hour and a half of hair and makeup. More is more!” She added: “I’m always very put together. I’ve been doing my same makeup since I was 15. I’ve never really loved a lot of foundation or contouring, but I always have eyeliner on, and lashes and lipstick. Even in the morning I put it on. That’s my thing, and of course my sunscreen with the color.”

3. She Embraces Aging

Vergara also embraces aging. “I do see changes that I don’t like, but I try not to focus on them. I’m also now very grateful that I understood to use sun protection when I was younger, because I think that’s why I feel good now with the way I look. That’s what I tell my niece!”

4. She Eats Her Way to Great Skin

Sofia maintains that she relies on a beauty diet. "I eat a lot of vegetables, and I eat blueberries, and I drink green tea," she told Health. "I add a spoon of powdered collagen to chamomile tea at night—I don’t know what that does but I do it! And I try to drink lots of water." She called hydration "the most important part of any beauty routine," she added.

5. She Incorporates Oil

Oil is part of the star’s beauty routine. "After I wash at night, I’ve been using a calendula oil—it’s good for sensitive skin and has really been calming my skin. It’s really oily and nice, so I put it everywhere," Vergara told Health in 2018. She also revealed to Us in 2017 that she sleeps in saran wrap "and [applies] coconut oil everywhere.

1. This is Her Workout Schedule

"Typically, if we have a good filming schedule where she has availability, we'll work out between 5-7 days, which is a lot. But she takes a lot of time off when she's busy," said Jennifer Yates, her trainer, to Marie Claire. "It's fine to give yourself a break—your body comes back stronger. You have to let your body rest, even if you're working out a few days during the week. That's why we rotate with Sofia. We have days in between when she rests. If you exhaust the muscles, you're more prone to getting injured."

2. She Was Diagnosed With Thyroid Cancer

“At 28 years old during a routine doctor’s visit, the doctor felt a lump in my neck. They did a lot of tests and finally told me tat I had thyroid cancer,” Vergara said. “When you’re young and you hear that word ‘cancer,’ your mind goes to so many places. But I tried not to panic, and I decided to get educated. I read every book and found out everything I could about it.” She added: “I was fortunate to have caught it early and to have the support of my doctors and, most importantly, my family. I learned a lot during that time. Not just about thyroid cancer, but I also learned that in times of crisis, we’re better together”

3. She Does Pilates

"I do Pilates. I'm in a bad mood two hours before and while I'm doing it and then I'm done, because I know I have to come back and do it again," she told Redbook. "I'm always asking Joe, 'Why do people always say they feel great working out?' I just want to go home and lie down."

4. She Enjoys Sushi

“All types of fish contain protein, but only some have omega-3 fats. These healthy fats benefit your heart by reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease or blood clots. Additionally, they provide brain boosts and have anti-inflammatory properties. Mackerel is a good source of omega-3 fats, as is salmon, tuna and eel,” says the Cleveland Clinic. “Sushi rolls with avocado are also good sources of monounsaturated fat, another heart-healthy fat that can reduce bad cholesterol.”

5. She Promotes Mammograms

“And just to make today more stressful I went and got my mammogram 😖😖 #allgood 👍 #dontforgetyours❤️,” she once captioned a post. “A mammogram is an X-ray image of your breasts. It can be used either for breast cancer screening or for diagnostic purposes, such as to investigate symptoms or unusual findings on another imaging test,” says the Mayo Clinic. “A traditional mammogram creates two-dimensional images of the breast. A newer type of mammogram called a 3D mammogram (breast tomosynthesis) creates three-dimensional images of the breast. Many medical facilities offer the 3D mammogram in addition to the traditional 2D mammogram for breast cancer screening.”

1. She Prevents Things From Happening To Her Skin

Vergara has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She tells New Beauty that one of her biggest secrets is making sure to prevent damage from happening. “I believe, more than fixing anything, in preventing. Once you get the wrinkle, once you get the sagging neck, that's it. There's no cream that is going to fix you. So, prevention, prevention, prevention!"

2. She Doesn’t Obsess Over What She Eats

Vergara is a cancer survivor, and she tells Health that this experience has made her re-evaluate her life. She says that she no longer obsesses over what she eats. “For a while, I got really crazy about what I was eating,” Vergara says. “But then, you realize you can't live like that. You go to restaurants, and you have to eat something. You have to live your life.”

3. She Reset Her Priorities

Vergara tells Health that beating cancer made her reset how she approaches life. She says that she doesn’t get too worked up over small things. “When you go through something like this, it's hard, but you learn a lot from it. Your priorities change. You don't sweat the small stuff. And it had a good ending.”

4. She’s Charitable

Vergara supports a lot of different charities. She tells Health that she wants to give back to her native Colombia, and opened up about something she is doing. “Through the charity I sponsor, we are building a cancer center in my hometown of Barranquilla. I visited the cancer ward of a hospital in Colombia, and parents were just sitting on the floor while their kids were being treated. When you're a mother and your kid is sick, you feel it yourself. I want to set up a comfortable place for parents.”

5. She Keeps Her Skincare Simple

Vergara has rosacea on her skin, which affects her skincare routine. She says that she has adopted a simpler routine for this reason. "I've been struggling with that for six or seven years," she told Who What Wear. "It's hard because I get really red, so I've realized that I've had to treat my skin like sensitive skin, where I didn't before. I can't really wear rich moisturizers or rich oils. Now I have to keep it simple."
