Saoirse Ronan is fit as can be. She is known for her collaborations with Greta Gerwig. Ronan appeared in the 2017 film Ladybird and the 2019 adaptation of Little Women, both directed by Gerwig. She also appeared in the film Brooklyn, which earned her an Academy Award nomination. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Saoirse Ronan stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

Ronan shared her opinion of womanhood in an interview with Vogue. “Womanhood, I suppose, is about being as authentic and honest with yourself as you can be and not being tied down by what the idea of womanhood is to other people. Not trying to fit into the moulds others have created. It’s an ongoing journey to figure out who you are as a person and womanhood is a huge part of that, but you also have to create your own version of it.”

2. She Doesn’t Wear A Lot Of Makeup

Ronan is known for rocking the natural look. She tells Vogue that she limits the amount of makeup she wears. “I don’t wear a lot of make-up when I’m not at work. The only bit of make-up I use every day is concealer, under my eyes. I use By Terry, the stick one. That's really good. I might wear a tiny bit of Chanel foundation - Perfection Lumière Velvet - because I get really oily skin. And then if I’m feeling foxy, red lipstick. The classic Chanel rouge. I like Nars’s reds as well. I don’t really use anything on my eyes anymore.”

3. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Ronan makes sure to take care of her skin. She shared her routine with Vogue. “I use an oil cleanser by Tatcha - they come in these beautiful boxes, which I love. So I use that in the morning and at night. Then I use a bit of vitamin C serum and a moisturiser - I like Aesop. And that’s it.”

4. She Plays Interesting Characters

Ronan shared what characters she wants to play in her Vogue interview. “I think for me the most important thing is always just to play a person who’s really interesting. And genuinely, if a character had come to me who was written as a boy, if I found it interesting and thought it would be a challenge to play I’d want to play it. So the best approach for me is to take gender out of it and look at the person and how the person is written and what makes up their personality. When I was a teenager especially there were no roles like Lady Bird, there just weren’t. And the fact I only got to play a part like that when I was 22 is saying something. The only things out there were the girlfriend, the sister, the receptionist. And I was like, I don’t want to do that, because they were so underwritten. I hope that’s something that’s starting to change now.”

5. She Gets Reflexology

Ronan revealed in an interview with ELLE that she loves reflexology for her skin. “I love getting reflexology. Nothing makes me more relaxed. When I'm doing hair and makeup for press, I have my hair and makeup team give me a full-on massage beforehand: my arms, my shoulders, feet. It's brilliant before you do red carpet or anything, it just chills you out.”

Gillan shared some of her workout secrets in this YouTube video. In it, she is seen weight training. The Mayo Clinic states that weight training has a lot of benefits. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training can reduce the signs and symptoms of many chronic conditions, such as arthritis, back pain, obesity, heart disease, depression and diabetes.”

2. She Stair Climbs

In her YouTube video, Gillan and her trainer are seen stair climbing. Ace Fitness states that stair workouts have a lot of benefits. “Stair climbing also heavily recruits muscles of your posterior chain — the glutes and calves — as well as hip flexors and muscles in the ankle, which are required to raise your foot up onto each stair. So the workout will help strengthen all those muscles.”

3. She Does Martial Arts

Gillan stars in a lot of action movies. While training for Gunpowder Milkshake, she learned a lot of martial arts. “We did three weeks of really intense training where they had me boxing everyday, rolling across mats, learning choreography, etc., because our director didn’t want stunt doubles for the first fight sequence,” Gillan told Glamour. “So it’s us in there doing it. It can be really demanding, but really, I kind of loved it.”

4. She’s Confronting Her Anxiety

Gillan is open about her struggles with anxiety. She talked about how she is handling it, and how her coping has changed to Women’s Health. Gillan said that she is confronting her anxiety right now. “It’s been easier to ignore my body than it has been to confront the situation. I’ve repressed the feeling instead of taking it seriously and listening to my body. And I’m just now turning that around.”

5. She Eats Better

In an interview with The Guardian, Gillan revealed that starring in action movies has helped her eat healthier. “That sort of changed my life because I’d never worked out before. I’d never eaten healthily in my life. I didn’t know how to do it. I would happily eat McDonald’s, chocolate, crisps, Tesco sandwiches. It wasn’t healthy at all. I can’t believe the way I used to go on.”

6. She Takes Care Of Her Hair

Gillan shared her hair care secrets in an interview with Glamour. “I recently switched to Aesop shampoo and conditioner, and I love it. I’ve always loved their soaps, specifically their exfoliating hand soap. This is a random story, but I was staying at a castle in Scotland and they had all Aesop products, so I was like, I’ll just wash my hair with this, and it was the best my hair has felt, so I bought it.”

7. She Protects Her Skin From The Sun

Gillan makes sure to protect her skin from the sun. She shared her favorite products with Glamour. “Clinique mineral sunscreen for the face and then Neutrogena’s sport face, because it doesn’t make me break out at all. I’ve been indulging in UPF protective hats as of late. I look like an insane person when I’m walking my dog, but whatever. I have it in navy and in pink."

5. She Works With Charities

I’m also still working with No Kid Hungry and Project Angel Food as well.”
