Cindy Crawford, 51
Skincare: Crawford told InStylethat, “I think people always want that quick fix, but to me it’s about consistency. I didn’t just start working out; I began when I was 20. Working out, getting enough sleep, not smoking—all of these things are cumulative. You may not see those results in a week or even a month, but in a year, and with consistency, you will. It’s about maintenance. That’s my approach on how to handle ageing.”
Hair: In 2016, she said, “I’m trying to be kinder to my hair and not heat styling it so much.”
Diet: According to Stylist, Crawford’s one diet tip is “don’t yo-yo diet. [Skincare partner Dr Jean-Louis Sebagh] taught me to pick a weight and stay there. It’s not good for your skin to stretch, contract, stretch, contract. I try not to have empty calories, though I do have chocolate every day. That’s worth it to me.”
Exercise: “Over 20 years ago, I saw a woman doing exercises for her neck. She explained that if you keep those muscles toned, it helps preserve the line of your jaw. They’re simple to do—just lay flat on your back with your chin pointed up, and lift your whole head about an inch off the ground. Without putting your head back down on the floor, bring your chin to your chest. I do three sets of 10 repetitions, but you can build up to that!” Into The Gloss.
