How to keep young? Tips from supermodel Cindy Crawford

It’s hard to believe that the ageless beauty Cindy Crawford recently turned 54. The former supermodel still radiates vitality, pleases fans with an incredible figure and gladly shares the secrets of eternal youth.

“It was not easy for me to accept aging, frightened by the very thought that soon I will be 50. For a long time I was a 20-year-old model on the cover of Vogue, and then suddenly my daughter turns 20. But I don’t want to go through my sixth decade trying to get back to my 30-year-old self, although I would like my skin and waistline to stay the same,” Crawford said a few years ago.

Cindy’s beauty secrets are quite simple, and she proves by her example that exercise, proper nutrition and relaxation can work wonders. By the way, the model continues to actively shoot even now – she can often be seen on the covers of fashion magazines. She looks stunning even in a swimsuit. We tell you how she manages to do it.

Regular exercise

Crawford has never been a fan of gyms, and even the famous video lessons her personal instructor developed specifically to make it more interesting for the girl to work out. “I like yoga and running, but old-school techniques work better for me, such as the ones that my trainer Radu developed for me and that we showed in my video lessons. Now I have a new trainer that I work out with at home three times a week. He makes me do push-ups, squats, pull weights.”

If my husband asks me to help move the couch, I want to know I can do it. Realizing my strength has a positive effect on my psyche.

In order not to get bored, the model tries to add variety to her activities. For example, she puts headphones in her ears, turns on music and runs up and down the stairs that go from her house to the beach for half an hour. Or she jumps on a mini ramp in her backyard, and on weekends she often goes hiking with her friends.

Balanced diet

Crawford does not imagine life without green tea. According to her, it has a positive effect on well-being, and in the morning the body literally begs for a cup of her favorite drink. And, of course, Cindy does not do without a full breakfast.

It’s important to start the day right. If you’re at home, it’s easy to control what you eat for breakfast. I always make a smoothie with spinach, almond milk, half a banana, protein powder, cocoa and fresh mint.

She makes sure to include green salads in her diet and tries to eat meat separate from rice, pasta or white bread, but occasionally she can afford a couple smoothies or chocolate. Crawford’s motto: be right 80% of the time. This means that the model is not going to deny herself small pleasures, just clearly observes the measure.

Relaxation

To the best way to relax after an active day Cindy refers meditation and sauna. “I recently learned that you can do family meditation classes at home. I don’t do it every day, but it was very interesting to learn about how it has a positive effect on mood from a scientific point of view. It’s a new way for me to relax when I need to. But my favorite ritual for relaxation is the sauna. You sit there for half an hour with a good book and come out refreshed.”

Skincare and makeup

Cindy lives in sunny California and uses sunscreen all the time. The model calls it a must-have ritual, and at the beach she wears a hat or sits under an umbrella. Crawford spends about ten minutes on makeup. Cindy prefers not to overload the face with unnecessary cosmetics, instead pays more attention to skin care.

The girl sincerely believes that it is never too late to start taking care of the skin. “You have to protect it during the day and restore it in the evening. It’s like working out: you do it once and you don’t see any difference, but if you do it constantly for years, you’ll get results,” says Cindy. She uses her own skin care line. In addition, Crawford follows simple beauty rules: she gets plenty of sleep, drinks plenty of water and doesn’t smoke.
