1. Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez is known for her ageless looks, and shared some of her secrets in an interview with InStyle. "My mom and aunts swear by olive oil to deliver a glow. The hero ingredient in JLo Beauty is a modernized version of olive oil, called the Olive Complex. It's a combination of ingredients derived from extra-virgin olive oil, fermented oil, leaf extract, and squalane. It gives the skin this weightless, all-day hydration, antioxidant protection, and an ageless radiance. And it doesn't smell like salad dressing

2. Salma Hayek

For Salma Hayek, skincare is a daily thing. "I've never gone to bed without washing my face,” she told InStyle. “Never in my life. Even if I'm sick, tired — heck, even if I was drunk! I might forget to take off the dress, the shoes, and the jewelry, but not the makeup. It's second nature."

3. Halle Berry

For Halle Berry, skincare is all about keeping her skin a little hydrated. "No matter what age you are, you always look a little better when your skin is a little dewy, not too powdery,” she explained to InStyle. I went through phases where all I wanted to do was be matte and powdered up, but then I found it wasn't the best look for me. Before I do my makeup, I spray my face with rosewater and let that sink in. It keeps my makeup looking very dewy, and I feel like it just makes me look more youthful, alive, and fresh."

4. Sarah Jessica Parker

For Sarah Jessica Parker, skincare is all about hydration. "The thing I'm most diligent about is washing my face," she told InStyle. "I say to my husband, 'Oh, I'm so tired, Matthew! I don't want to wash my face.' He's like, 'Why do you need to?' He doesn't get it. I also always wear moisturizer and lip balm."

5. Kelly Ripa

TV host and actress, Kelly Ripa broke down her anti-aging secrets to InStyle. She says that each morning, she takes care of her skin. “My day starts around 5 a.m.," she says. "I'm way into jade and rose quartz face rollers, so I put them in a bowl of ice and literally sit there and roll my face until I'm awake. But there's nothing like a good cup of coffee."

6. Gabrielle Union

Gabrielle Union has become known for her amazing skin. She shared some of her tips in an interview with Byrdie. "I do drink a gallon of water a day. I started that in my mid to late 30s. So for a good 10 years, I've been drinking a gallon of water a day. It makes a difference for hair, skin, nails, all of it.”

7. Cindy Crawford

Cindy Crawford has maintained her supermodel good looks into her 50s. She even had her own line of skincare. "It's never too early, and never too late, to start taking care of your skin,” Crawford told Byrdie. “Dr. Jean-Louis Sebagh taught me the daytime is about protecting your skin and then the nighttime is about restoring it. I have learned that it's like working out. You work out once—you don't really see a big difference. But if you work out regularly for years, you do. I think skincare is the same way. So I've made taking care of my skin part of my routine.”

8. Padma Lakshmi

TV host Padma Lakshmi is surrounded by food. And this includes her skincare. “The biggest thing for skin, and it doesn't cost a lot of money, is honey,” she revealed to Byrdie. “When I used to travel and I didn't have a lot of money, I would always find honey on the breakfast tray at a hotel or something. You just wash and cleanse your skin, take all the makeup off, pat your skin dry, and then slather honey all over your face, avoiding the delicate eye area. And then you just tap your fingers on your face, almost like you're playing piano on your skin. And what that does is pull out the impurities in your pores without upsetting the pH balance.”

9. Kerry Washington

Kerry Washington shared some of her beauty secrets in an interview with Allure. She says that she loves products with hyaluronic acid, and cites a concealer and gel-cream from Neutrogena as favorites. “It has hyaluronic acid in the center,” she says of the concealer. “So when you use it, you’re moisturizing while you’re covering. It’s great for under-eyes and laugh lines. I have spots like anybody else, particularly from hormones from pregnancy and then nursing. I use concealer to help along the way while they’re fading.” Washington also explains about the gel-cream, “I love moisturizers that do double duty. This one contains hyaluronic acid. I haven’t put any [fillers] on the inside yet, but I’m digging hyaluronic acid on the outside. I think it’s God’s gift to women.”

10. Nicole Kidman

One of Nicole Kidman’s biggest skincare secrets is sun protection. “I’m so outdoorsy,” she told Byrdie. “I love playing tennis, and I love working out outdoors. I love going for a run and swimming, and I just want to be able to do all of that and protect my skin because I get burnt. So having the access to Neutrogena’s skincare and suncare is fantastic for me. And I know a lot about it because I’ve researched it; I’ve been educated; I have enormous knowledge about it now. I use vitamin C too because that does give you some protection long-term.”

11. Tracee Ellis Ross

CultureCon NYC '22Steven Ferdman/Getty Images

Tracee Ellis Ross broke down her skincare routine to Vogue. My skincare routine is extensive. “At night, if I’ve worn make-up when I’m working, I use Bioderma to remove my make-up. Then I use CosMedix Benefit Clean, which is a bit of a soapy cleanser, and I use it with a mitt. After that I do a Terri Lawton Serum Toner. Usually at night, I’ll apply the Retrouvé Intensive – it’s a really hydrating moisturiser – and then I put Biologique Recherche T.E.W.L. serum over that. In the morning, I use Retrouvé Gentle Cleanser, and while it’s on my face I use the Pause Well-Aging Gua Sha for about three minutes. After I’ve rinsed the cleanser off with a warm washcloth, I put the Biologique oil on my face, and then use the the brand’s Cryo Sticks – they look like little teardrops and I keep them in the fridge. I do about two minutes on my face with them.”

The Mother star Jennifer Lopez says she doesn’t want to be known for looking incredible “for her age,” but to look amazing in general—and she’s definitely succeeding. Lopez, 54, shared a picture of herself looking absolutely stunning in a red bikini and coat, plus another picture of herself laughing in a white bikini. “This Is…August (so far) ☀️💚🏝️,” she captioned the post. “Divine,” a fan commented. Lopez has the skin and physique that only seems to get better every year—here’s how she takes care of herself, and the beauty advice she wants to share with others.

1. Sun Protection

Jennifer,Lopez,At,The,Amazon,Studios',World,Premiere,Of,'air'Shutterstock

Lopez’s famous “glow” is ironically the result of how careful she is to protect her skin from the sun. “I like sunbathing like everybody else when I go on vacation,” she says. “It’s not something I over-abuse, but that’s why a big part [of JLo Beauty] was the sunscreen. A dermatologist told me at a very young age to use sunscreen, and I was like, ‘What do I need sunscreen for? I live in New York.’ But the truth is, that was a big part of why I was able to stay youthful-looking because I used it as my moisturizer every single day. It helped me protect myself from the elements, and enough people don’t understand that such a big part of staying youthful looking is using sunscreen every day.”

2. Olive Oil

Lopez swears by olive oil to keep her complexion beautiful. “My mom used to say that olive oil was the cure-all for everything,” she says. “And it’s a secret I’ve used over the years because it really does work. Whenever my hair, skin, or nails were dry, I’d go back to olive oil,”

3. Sleeping Beauty

Lopez says getting good quality sleep is the single best beauty tip she can give anyone. "One of my biggest beauty secrets is sleep," she tells the camera. "One of my tricks for when I can't get enough sleep is that there's a certain amount of hours that I feel like you can sleep before your face falls asleep... either under four or over seven hours. That's my rule."

4. Skin Tells the Story

Lopez believes your skin shows how happy and rested you are. “Until 25, you get the face that you were born with," she says. "After that, you get the face you deserve… Because you can put on all the makeup in the world, but if you're unhappy [and] your skin's not healthy, you're just going to look like you put a bunch of makeup on top of something that's like...you can't cover it up. You can't cover up how you feel on the inside. How you take care of yourself, people see that."

5. Daily Affirmations

Lopez has a daily mantra that makes her feel happy and empowered. “Every day, I say I am youthful and timeless at every age,” she says. “I live a beautiful adventurous life with my children, and we're all in perfect health, always. All of these great things you learn to say to yourself so there's this positive self-talk in your head really does create a beautiful person on the inside who maintains a beautiful person on the outside."

Station 19 star Jaina Lee Ortiz took a break from her intense schedule to share some pictures with fans and followers. Ortiz, 36, posted a snap of herself posing next to a pool in a black bikini and straw hat, against a beautiful background of blue skies. “Perfect capture at the perfect moment in the perfect place with the perfect person, the photo is wonderful congratulations also to the photographer😍😘,” commented an admiring fan. Here are Ortiz’s secrets to a healthy lifestyle.

1. Healthy Lifestyle

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,June,09,,2023:,Jaina,Lee,Ortiz,AtShutterstock

Ortiz lives a lowkey lifestyle, which works with her busy schedule. “TV drama schedules are very hectic, and I find that my mom, husband, and dad truly keep me grounded,” she says. “Checking in with them daily helps me remember that I’m living my dream and I am having the time of my life. I honestly have no vice; I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I work out almost every day, and with the early call times I sometimes have to be in the gym at three in the morning. So, essentially, I have no life! But at the end of the day, I have a really close group of friends that I absolutely love, and they genuinely support me.”

2. Glowy Skin

Los,Angeles,-,Aug,07:,Jaina,Lee,Ortiz,Arrives,ToShutterstock

Ortiz likes a more dewy, natural look to her skin. “I like more of a glow-y, dew-y, satin-y skin finish,” she says. “On camera they tend to matte me down a little more because the shine can be too harsh for the cameras. Since the show [took] place in Miami, I can still get away with some dewy-ness. It wouldn’t make sense for me to be too matted down.”

3. Makeup Artist

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,08:,Jaina,Lee,Ortiz,Arrives,ForShutterstock

Ortiz used to be a makeup artist for MAC. “I think the most valuable thing I learned working at MAC was that a lot of women came expecting that they needed a ton of makeup to achieve a certain look,” she says. “And a little actually goes a long way. The less product I used on them, the bigger impact it had. I did my own smokey eye for the pilot. And I [did] apply my own fake eyelashes.”

4. Self-Care During Lockdowns

Ortiz took advantage of the pandemic lockdowns to slow down and focus on herself. "I’ve learned the value of loving myself, self-care," she says. "This experience has given me a chance to reflect, to recognize my feelings without judgment and to find comfort in a place of change. Change can be scary so if you change your perspective, it can be surprisingly fulfilling. [I pass the time] working out, cooking, laundry, FaceTime with family and friends, reading, learning a new accent, repeat. "

5. Beauty Secrets

Ortiz swears by sunscreen and sleep for her beautiful complexion. “In the morning I use a gentle face wash and I always use rose witch hazel as a toner,” she says. "I never leave the house without [sunscreen]. My number one beauty secret is sleep. You need your rest! Sleep and sunscreen – s + s. At night, if you put a drop or two of lavender for a spa-like treatment. Since I have no time to go to a real one! Makeup is just an additional cherry on top.”

Elle Macpherson is showing off her flat abs and revealing tons of her beauty and wellness secrets! In a new interview with Vogue, the 57-year-old details her daily routine, revealing all the products and tricks she uses to look half her age. She also shared an image of herself on Instagram to promote the new interview, flaunting her figure in a cutout swimsuit. What are some of her top tips she is sharing with fans? Read on to see 5 ways Elle Macpherson 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. Beauty Starts From the Inside Out

Elle emphasizes the importance of taking care of yourself from the inside out. “My beauty routine, which is really a wellness routine disguised as a beauty routine, because I truly believe that when you're well within, it shows on your skin,” she said. She takes a “little swig” of an ION Biome to start her morning. She explains that it is important because “it supports your gut,” prepping it for other vitamins and supplements.

2. Use a Crystal Water Bottle

Elle prioritizes hydration, using a special water bottle for her H2O. “I'm gonna fill up my bottle with some water,” she explained. “I use a crystal bottle.” The concept behind the expensive water bottles is that positive energy is infused into them.

3. Lymphatic Drainage Is Important

“So for me, circulation is key,” says Elle. “Lymphatic drainage is really, really important. You've got to move those toxins out of your body, it will show on your skin, it will show in the way you feel,” she says. One way she does it? With a dry body brush.

4. Take a Hot Shower or Steam Nightly

Another way she practices lymphatic drainage is in a hot shower. “I have a steam most nights, and while I'm in the steam, while my body is sweating, I'll put oil on it and then I'll use the body Gua Sha, the same way as I use the lymphatic drainage brush.”

5. Gain Weight As You Age

Elle maintains that weight gain as your age isn’t a bad thing. “I like to be a little bit more rosy and round, because I think at my age, it's just you know, it's more appealing to look less gaunt, so I've noticed that I've put on weight as I've gotten older and that old adage,” she explained. “You have to choose between your a** and your face is kind of true [laughs] because if I'm too thin, it really shows in my face, so I keep it round and rosy and fresh.”

5. Adapt Your Routine As You Age

As you get older, you need to change up your routine, per Elle. “When I turned 50, I started to notice some new changes in my body. I was sugar addicted, sleep deprived, adrenally stressed, and it showed, you know, it showed on my skin, it showed in my body, and I was doing the same things I've been doing since I was 20, and they just weren't working anymore,” she said. “I changed my lifestyle and within a few months, people started to say to me, God, you look amazing, and what are you doing, and I realized there were so many women that must've been struggling like I was and I wanted to share it with other people, so that is the birth of WelleCo.”

Psych star Sarah Shahi is a big fan of skincare products, and likes to share her tips with fans and followers. Shahi, 43, shared pictures of herself wearing a blue bikini and straw hat, showing off her beautiful skin—with a focus on her lips. “@clarinsusa lip oils. Sweet not sticky. 💋,” she captioned the post. “Sublime,” a fan commented. Shahi is not afraid to bare it all on screen—here’s how she takes care of her health and beauty.

1. She’s a Capricorn

Zodiac,Signs,Inside,Of,Horoscope,Circle.,Astrology,In,The,SkyShutterstock

Shahi is very interested in astrology. “I’m a Capricorn, and I’ve really gotten into my [full chart],” she says. “The other cool thing about my ancestry that I didn’t know until recently is, as a culture, we’re very attached to the stars. The followers of the first religion in Iran were sun worshippers. I often realize how small I am in relation to everything in the world—and how connected I am at the same time. That feeling creates a sense of, ‘Wow, you have to let go of things, and you have to trust there is some kind of world order, and just go with the flow.’ At the end of the day, as long as you can look in the mirror and be happy with what you see, the rest is out of your control.”

2. Skincare Addict

Los,Angeles,-,Sep,21:,Sarah,Shahi,At,The,ShowtimeShutterstock

Shahi isn’t afraid to spend money on her skin. “I’m big on lasers and anything that is ‘upkeep.’ The Merit brand has the most luxurious lip stains and lipsticks,” she says. “I just now saw that they have a skin-care line that’s coming out. I am a huge fan of that line. I will absolutely have to hit them up for that! I’m also a big fan of Shani Darden. She has this lactic acid product and, anytime I wear it, people are like, ‘Your skin looks like glass.’ I’m big on skin care, that’s for sure—it’s my one splurge. What else? I love those wipes [from] Dr. Dennis Gross. The peels! They are excellent. And Sol De Janeiro’s body creams are like crack. They smell so good.”

3. Book Lover

Los,Angeles,-,Sep,11:,Sarah,Shahi,At,The,2022Shutterstock

Shahi loves to read and write. “There are two books I’m reading right now; I always have a couple going,” she says. “One of them is called It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover—I’m also reading something called The Betty Body [by Dr. Stephanie Estima]. When you hit your 40s, women’s bodies change. That’s something I’ve been on a journey to try to figure out: what my body needs right now. I’m also in the process of writing a book!”

4. Confidence With Age

Shahi says there were parts of Sex/Life where she didn’t look “perfect” and is glad. “There are scenes where you can see my stomach doesn't look 100%, it doesn't look great, and I'm proud of it,” she says. “I never quite realized the power of my body until I had children, until I breastfed all my children. Now, I'm proud. I'm supremely proud of every stretch mark or curve or bump or whatever it is; I earned those. I really do live by the whole 40 is the new 20, because I was so insecure about the way I looked when I was in my twenties.”

5. Privilege To Be Older

Shahi is deeply appreciative of the wisdom that comes with age. “There was a big freedom that happened when I turned 40,” she says. “I was just like, ‘here I am, the good, the bad, the ugly, the insecure. I'm not going to make apologies for it and I'm going to put it out there.’ I wouldn't trade that moment for any part of my 30s, any part of my 20s; it's a privilege to grow older and it's a privilege to carry wisdom with you. One of the things I've always said is, ‘I don't claim to know much, but I do know more than I did last year.’”

Leonie Hanne is living her best life in Thailand – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the German model flaunts her fantastic figure in a $750 Missoni bathing suit while enjoying a boating day in the tropics. “She dreamed of a tropical adventure 🦋,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Stunning,” commented one of her followers. ”So beautiful,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Coffee

Leonie enjoys the perks of caffeine. In one of her posts from Thailand, she drinks a cup of coffee at the poolside. According to the Cleveland Clinic, drinking coffee in moderation has several benefits. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Pilates

Leonie does Pilates at the super exclusive London studio Pilates in the Clouds. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress, and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

At-Home Workouts

Leonie tries to get a workout in daily, preferably in the morning. I still try to get up early to maintain a sense of routine. I start every day with a quick at-home workout and a homemade acai bowl, before starting work on emails and content creation. I’ve been getting really into TikTok lately, it’s funny and keeps me feeling energised!” she told Arcadia.

Community

It takes a village, according to Leonie. “Community is key! The people you surround yourself with are more important than ever, as we are all trying to find ways to stay connected without being physically present. Speaking to people either on the phone or through social media can shift your mindset and motivation more than ever before,” she says.

Small, Healthy Habits

Leonie focuses on maintaining small, healthy habits. “Do something every day that brings you joy. Even if that means having something small to look forward to, like having your favourite snacks around the house or changing into an outfit that makes you feel good about yourself,” she says.

Sophie Piper is embracing island life – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Love Island beauty shows off her fantastic figure in a swimsuit during a tropical vacation at Kandima Maldives with Josh Ritchie. “Island life,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken at the picturesque resort. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Doesn't Go Under the Knife

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

She Gets Her Steps In

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

She Skis

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline.

She Loves Group Fitness

“You’ve got to be body confident,” Sophie told Grazia. One of her favorite sweat methods? Group fitness. “A few gym classes can’t hurt,” she said.

She Goes Snorkeling

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness influencer and expert. She has her own app, called Tammy Fit. Hembrow has a lot of challenges on her app. Recently, she advertised a challenge with a workout video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “We are 3 days into our first @tammyfitapp challenge of the year & I am more motivated than everrrrr. (Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! And I CANNOT wait to see everyone’s results at the end of the 8 weeks. We got thissss 💪🏼”

She Does Pulldowns

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

She Lifts Weights

Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that using weights to workout has a lot of benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

She Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker. And it also can help educate you on your food choices when it comes to nutrition, ratios, hidden calories, overeating or under eating etc. honestly I’d recommend any beginner try it out just to get a good feel for how you’re fuelling your body!! I feel like when people think of ‘meal tracking’ it can be seen as something that seems restrictive or something only bodybuilders do. When in reality it can be such a helpful tool and you can learn things that will actually encourage long term habits 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

She Loves Bananas

Hembrow is seen enjoying bananas in her “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that bananas have a lot of benefits. “A single medium-sized banana offers about 32 mg of the mineral magnesium, which fulfills around 8% to 10% of your daily magnesium requirement. Magnesium is involved in many processes in your body, including: Blood pressure. Blood sugar levels. Building proteins. Maintaining bone. Muscle function. Nerve function.”

She Loves Cottage Cheese

Tammy Hebrew's snack the contains banana and cottage cheese.

Hembrow is seen enjoying her bananas with cottage cheese in the previous Instagram video. Cottage cheese is very healthy. UCLA Health reports, “Cottage cheese’s protein content and low calories make it an ideal food for weight management. Research shows that whether you are trying to lose weight or reduce your risk of overweight or obesity, eating a high-protein diet can help you feel full and satisfied for longer.”
