Zendaya has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She shared her secrets in an interview with Vogue. Zendaya says that she keeps her skin hydrated. “I never skip moisturizer – I feel like my face would just crack in half. Also, I do not sleep with make-up on. That’s a big rule. But overall, I really enjoy the process of skincare. It’s one of my many obsessions.”

2. She Tries New Skincare Products

Zendaya tells Vogue that she likes to try new skincare products out. “I try new products all the time and I enjoy the ritual [of it]. Sometimes it’s fun to treat yourself with a little facial before bed. I’ll incorporate different serums every now and then. I think it’s good to switch up your skincare so that your skin doesn’t get too used to it. My products always seem more effective after I’ve left them for a bit and come back.”

3. She Gets Massages

Zendaya is all about self-care. She shared one of her favorite practices in her interview with Vogue. “I love a good massage, but the problem is most massage therapists don’t apply enough pressure! People think I’m going to break in half. I’m like, you’ve got to do a little bit more than that, you know?”

4. She’s Grateful

Zendaya tells Vogue that she is all about being grateful. “I don’t know if I have a specific personal mantra, but I do think it’s important to live with a sense of gratitude. You can’t ever have more if you don’t appreciate what you have. I always try to list the things that I am thankful for and take a moment to appreciate those things. That act helps put everything into perspective.”

5. She Promotes Self-Confidence

In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Zendaya talked about wanting to be a role model, and wanting her clothing line to inspire self-confidence. “Most people know me because I'm outspoken and I say what I have to say, but it's one thing to talk. I can't promote self-love and body empowerment and not have a clothing line that reflects that. My point was to make Daya more than fashion. In many ways, designing is very similar to making music. It all falls under having a vision and trying to execute that vision.”

6. She Trains For Roles

Zendaya admits to ELLE that she doesn’t like to workout. However, her role in Challengers forced her to get in shape. "I'm not the hugest fan of having to work out, I don't necessarily look forward to it, but I had to because my character's supposed to be a tennis pro and clearly I’m not giving tennis pro!"

7. She Goes To Therapy

Zendaya tells Vogue that she has started going to therapy. “Yeah, of course I go to therapy,” she says. “I mean, if anybody is able to possess the financial means to go to therapy, I would recommend they do that. I think it’s a beautiful thing. You know, there’s nothing wrong with working on yourself and dealing with those things with someone who can help you, someone who can talk to you, who’s not your mom or whatever. Who has no bias.” The pandemic brought with it her “first kind of taste of sadness where you wake up and you just feel bad all day, like what the f**k is going on? What is this dark cloud that’s hovering over me and I don’t know how to get rid of it, you know?”

Grande has a busy schedule. However, she always makes time to relax. She shared her favorite ways to unwind with Vogue. “I love meditation, taking a long bath and doing my skincare.

Whenever I meditate, I use lavender essential oils – it immediately triggers calmness.”

3. She Makes Wellness A Priority

For Grande, wellness and health is a priority. She tells Vogue, “I think wellness is an important investment. We should be taking care of our minds. They are the centre of our whole human experience.

I love to put it in the fridge along with my face roller – it’s calming.”

5. She Eats Healthy

Grande is one of the many clients of celebrity trainer, Harley Pasternaak. He talked about working with Grande to Shape Magazine. Pasternaak says that Grande makes sure to eat a healthy diet. “No matter what your workout routine is, if you're eating poorly, it's all for naught," he explains.

For Grande, her wellness routine has to be sustainable. "She's not about going to any extremes," Pasternaak revealed to Shape Magazine. "She isn't worried about doing anything that's not sustainable. As long as she moves every day, eats well, and does some strength training, she's of the mindset that the rest will take care of itself."

7. She Works Out On Her Own

While Grande does workout sessions with Pasternaak, she also exercises when she’s on her own. "Other times I'll give her exercises to do at home on her own," Pasternaak told Shape Magazine. "She also hits her steps every day and has done a really great job of finding balance and moderation when it comes to staying in shape."

Ariana Madix first came into prominence in 2013, when she joined the cast of the Bravo series, Vanderpump Rules. She quickly was seen as a fan-favorite on the show, and after her long-time boyfriend and fellow cast member, Tom Sandoval, cheated on her with another cast member, she became even more beloved. Madix has released her own cocktail book, Fancy AF, appeared in several commercials and placed third on the most recent season of Dancing With The Stars. Madix is currently starring as Roxie Hart in Chicago. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Ariana Madix stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Dances

Madix is an avid dancer. Harvard Health states that dancing has a lot of benefits. “The evidence for the health benefits of exercise is indisputable. Physiologic studies have demonstrated that regular activity builds muscle and bone, reduces fat, increases aerobic capacity, lowers blood pressure, and improves the ratio of ‘good’ to ‘bad’ cholesterol. Dance has been shown to have all the benefits of other forms of exercise. Moreover, by incorporating music, dance may have benefits beyond those of exercise alone. Music stimulates the brain's reward centers, while dance activates its sensory and motor circuits. Dancing has improved balance, gait, and quality of life in people with Parkinson's disease and related movement disorders. And several — but not all — studies have indicated that mastering dance movements and patterns yields greater improvements in memory and problem-solving than walking does.”

2. She Wears Sunscreen

Madix has amazing skin and makes sure to take care of it. She shared her secrets with Byrdie. “I never, ever skip my SPF. My bestie taught me the best combo: EltaMD regular and tinted mixed together for the perfect protection and skin tint. My biggest mistake was getting in tanning beds and rebuking SPF. I always tan and never burn so I thought I was somehow immune to the damage the sun can cause. I was very wrong and dealt with melanoma in 2018. Now you’ll never catch me without UV protection!”

3. She’s Consistent With Skincare

When it comes to skincare, Madix makes sure to take care of it consistently. She explained to Byrdie, “Consistency is key! Even if I don’t have time to do an entire routine, if I’m consistently cleansing my face and applying something to seal in moisture, I’ll wake up feeling so much better. If I do a full routine once a week or once a month, it won’t have the same effect.”

4. She Stays Hydrated On Flights

Madix is all about hydration, especially when she’s taking a flight. She shared her secrets for staying hydrated on flights to Byrdie. “I never fly without eye patches. Right now, I’m loving the Nip + Fab Hyaluronic Fix Extreme Jelly Eye Patches ($20). I put them on when we start our descent; it helps to look less dehydrated after flying. It’s not a product, but I buy the biggest bottle of water I can find in the terminal and make myself chug it.”

5. She Wants To Be A Role Model

Madix is open about her struggles with body image, an eating disorder, and mental health. She talked about this in an essay with SELF. “I am putting myself out there being on reality TV, but it’s really tough to be judged. Part of me feels like there are so many people who are just like me, and if I go away or if I’m not around or if it gets to be too much for me, then they won’t see anybody they can relate to. I definitely feel less alone because of everything I’ve been through on TV and through telling my story. I meet people all the time who have gone through similar things, and I think that’s a really big blessing that’s come from this experience: They, in turn, make me feel not alone.”

She revealed that she regularly gets screened for cancer symptoms. “I’m trying to do something preventative to ensure I am here for my family as long as I can be.

3. She Goes To Therapy

Davidson shared her secrets for a successful marriage with Woman’s World. She says that she and her husband go to therapy. “I really think it’s important to let small stuff go. You cannot dwell on it. You have to forgive and let it go quickly. Obviously if it’s something major, you need to talk about. We’ve been in and out of therapy many times over the years for different short-term things. I am a big believer in therapy for all reasons, for all people, forever.”

4. She Has A Simple Hair & Skin Care Routine

Davidson shared her hair and skincare secrets with Woman’s World. She says that she keeps things simple. “I have gone the route of the super expensive before, but I guess I’ve just gotten kind of bitter. I’m wondering if it really makes a huge difference. So now, I use Cetaphil as a daily facial cleanser. I use Eucerin as a body lotion. Just your basic things. I do use Aveda hair products but every once in a while, I throw in Pantene.”

5. She Works With Charities

Davidson likes to give back and works with several charities. She talked about this in her Woman’s World interview. “I also joined the advisory board of MAPDA – Mothers Against Prescription Drug Abuse. I have a really strong interest in that because of the big fentanyl problem and opioids. I’m happy to be doing whatever I can to help with that. I’m also still working with No Kid Hungry and Project Angel Food as well.”
