There are a lot of beautiful people in Hollywood. But, many of them have fallen into the trap of getting tons of botox, plastic surgery, and using expensive fads.
However, there are a handful of celebrities that seem to have found the fountain of youth (and it’s not from a plastic surgeon’s office). What are their secrets to staying young, naturally?
You’ll find that most of it have to do with their diet and fitness routine (oh, and their good genes probably don’t hurt either). Read on for more details about the lifestyles of 15 celebrities who never seem to age.
Pharrell Williams
How old does Pharrell Williams look? We’d say about 25. But, the producer and singer is actually 43!
We find it hard to believe — and apparently so do a lot of other people because there was a rumor going around that he’s a vampire. However, Pharrell has revealed that while he isn’t a vampire, he does have a simple secret for maintaining his youthful looks: he washes his face.
How groundbreaking! We wash our faces, too, but can’t manage to turn back time the way that he does. So, how exactly does he wash his face? Is there some sort of magical water that he uses? Nah, apparently he just uses regular, cold water (like Naomi Campbell does) to keep his pores closed and the cleanser, Cetaphil.
Gwen Stefani
If you didn’t know who she was, you’d probably think that Gwen Stefani was a 20-something-year-old. But, she’s actually in her late 40s! From her red lips to her toned body and her trendy outfits, Gwen hasn’t physically changed a bit since her No Doubt days (and she’s had three kids since then)! To protect her skin from the California sun, she wears sunscreen (SPF 50) every day.
She’s even admitted that she loves using Johnson’s baby lotion to keep her skin soft. And what about that killer body? Gwen says that she’s had to work hard for it because she was chubby when she was younger. But, she doesn’t have the patience for yoga or Pilates. Instead, she boxes and lifts weights.
Jennifer Lopez
Can you believe that Jennifer Lopez is 47? Some people half her age aren’t as fit and youthful-looking as she is! She has revealed that she always gets her beauty sleep (which for her, means sleeping up to 10 hours a night!), exercises using the Tracy Anderson method five times a week and does circuit training, which includes planks, pushups, and boxing.
As for her skin, J-Lo uses glycolic acid to get her signature glow. She also does the typical beauty-routine things like protecting her skin with moisturizers containing SPF, drinking lots of water, and eating fruits and veggies. More importantly, though, she stays away from alcohol, coffee, and cigarettes, all of which can ruin your skin and make you age faster.
Halle Berry
Let it sink in for a bit that Halle Berry is 50+ years old. How is that even possible? She looks like she’s still 30! The Monster’s Ball actress revealed her beauty secrets to Marie Claire, saying that she gets help from Olga Northrop, owner of the Kinara skincare line.
She also wears sunscreen all the time and stays away from anti-aging creams because she hasn’t had the need for them as yet (clearly). Since she’s also diabetic, Halle stays away from sugar and credits that to her anti-aging. She has meals that are filled with veggies and protein, instead. And of course, just by looking at her, you can tell that she works out. Her workouts vary from circuit training to hiking and the results are amazing.
Eva Mendes
Eva Mendes looks exactly as she did when she had her first acting breakthrough in Training Day, 15 years ago! What are her secrets to looking so good at 42?
The gorgeous actress says that she drinks warm water and lemon every morning to stay hydrated and healthy. She also exercises three days a week, doing cardio and light weights. When it comes to removing her makeup, Eva doesn’t go the expensive route—she just uses coconut oil. In fact, she uses it on her body and hair, as well.
Though we wouldn’t have guessed it, Eva says she has oily skin so she uses witch hazel (the main ingredient in many toners) to fix the problem. She also pampers herself and gets proper sleep.
Lenny Kravitz
Is Lenny Kravitz one of the coolest people on earth? We certainly think so. The singer/actor is 52 years old, but could still pass for a trendy rock star in his 30s. What’s his secret for looking so young? Well, he says that there’s one thing he never leaves home without a jump rope.
He loves to stay fit by going outdoors and running, too. Lenny says he finds gyms are boring, but nature is inspiring. He also loves juicing and goes to the farmer’s market often to get spinach, carrots, and beets. In fact, when the singer is in the Bahamas, where he lives half the year, he eats from his own organic farm and drinks lots of coconut water. Recently, he revealed on Instagram that he’s on a 100% raw diet.
Lucy Liu
Have you seen Lucy Liu lately? That woman never ages! She looks exactly as she did 16 years ago when she starred in Charlie’s Angels. The dark-haired, porcelain-skinned beauty revealed some of her beauty secrets and they’re surprisingly low-maintenance. To maintain her silky locks, the star says she never dyes or blow-dries her hair. She even uses Pantene conditioners (the same ones many of us use)!
As for her skin, Lucy reveals that she likes having a clean face. So, she doesn’t wear a lot of makeup (just a bit of concealer) and she doesn’t even use sunscreen (but she also doesn’t sit in the sun either). Unlike a lot of celebrities, Lucy doesn’t get facials as she believes that they damage your skin. This is a beauty routine we could all actually follow!
Mario Lopez
Is it just us or does Mario Lopez look exactly like he did when he played a teenager in Saved by the Bell? How does the 42-year-old TV host do it? Well, he works out daily (no surprise there—have you seen those biceps?). He says he likes to box and do outdoor activities such as hiking, surfing, running, and biking.
Mario also has a home gym where he plays basketball. He, unlike most other stars on this list, doesn’t really believe in diets. He just says that he practices a little portion control and always carries around healthy snacks like almonds and his favorite frui — bananas. He also uses some pretty good skincare products, like Henrickson’s Aloe Vera Deep Cleanser, to keep his face glowing.
Sandra Bullock
It’s hard to believe that Sandra Bullock has been gracing the screens since 1987! Since then, Miss Congeniality has made us laugh, cry, and laugh some more. In 2015, Sandra was named “Most Beautiful Woman” by People magazine, at the age of 51!
We all want to know her beauty secrets! She told InStyle magazine that she varies her workouts (because you can easily get bored of doing the same thing over and over again and your body gets used to it). She does Pilates with a personal trainer, kickboxing, weight-training, and rides her bike to keep in shape. She also makes up meal plans for each week, allowing herself one cheat day to indulge in pastries and other goodies (what a smart lady).
Jennifer Aniston
Not much has changed about Jennifer Aniston since her days on Friends, besides the fact that she no longer sports “the Rachel” hairstyle. The 47-year-old actress, like Eva Mendes, drinks water with lemon every morning. In fact, she drinks a lot of water every day—at least 2 liters. She also eats healthy, with eggs, avocado, and whole wheat making up her breakfast.
She makes sure to switch up her workouts every day, doing a lot of cardio. To keep her skin looking fresh, she removes her makeup with Aveeno makeup removers. And how does she get rid of pimples?
She uses a drying lotion by Mario Badescu. Of course, we need to know how she keeps her hair looking so healthy and shiny. Her secret is that she uses products with UV and chlorine protection (because your hair gets damaged from too much sun exposure, too).
Gabrielle Union
Gabrielle Union, known for her roles in Bring It On and Think Like a Man, doesn’t look a day over 30. But, she’s actually in her mid-40s! What’s the beauty’s secret?
Well, it’s actually something we can afford (yay)! She credits her glowing skin to drinking a gallon of water every day. Sure sounds like a lot of water, but she says the key is to drink half of it by noon. Not only does it help with your skin, but it helps with your nails, hair, and digestion.
Gabrielle also works out regularly with a personal trainer, doing cardio sessions and basketball-related workouts. It’s no surprise that she also eats healthy; her diet consists of lean meat and fish, as well as lots of leafy greens.
Jared Leto
Jared Leto is a really good-looking guy. But, it’s hard to believe he’s 44 years old! He revealed his secret to looking a decade younger than he actually is in an interview with GQ magazine, saying that he’s pretty healthy. The musician turned actor credits sleeping well and 20 years of veganism for preserving his youthful looks.
He eats raw or steamed veggies, unsalted nuts, and grains, and avoids sugary foods. He admits that sometimes he cheats on his diet by eating cookies and would probably eat a wild salmon that’s out of a river (hey, no one’s perfect). Jared also stays active and prefers outdoor activities such as rock-climbing, hiking, and cycling. He also does yoga, sit-ups, and crunches to maintain those wonderful abs of his.
Keanu Reeves
Actor Keanu Reeves is another victim of the vampire rumor. There’s even a website called Keanu Reeves Is Immortal, dedicated to the idea that the Matrix actor doesn’t age, with photos of people from the past who bare an uncanny resemblance to him. So, what’s the secret behind the 52-year-old’s youthful looks?
He eats small portions of foods, particularly chicken, rice, veggies, and pasta. He also keeps active by playing ice hockey and basketball, lifting weights, and moving in natural ways. He typically shares his workout routine to fit whichever character he’s portraying in an upcoming movie. For example, for his role in The Matrix, he learned Kung Fu!
Though he doesn’t speak much about his secrets, we can also safely assume that genetics has a large role in keeping Keanu looking so young.
Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham is 42 years old; how does the former Spice Girl turn fashion mogul keep her skin looking so tight? Is it because she never smiles? No (that isn’t true, by the way), but oxygen facials might have something to do with it.
She also is a huge fan of Dr. Lancer’s skincare products (which Kim Kardashian also uses) and lately has been praising the “morning aura,” a product she created with Estee Lauder. She especially loves Dr. Lancer sunscreen and Lifts Serum Intense (which is pretty pricey, at £230 per 25 mL). Victoria also works out every day and eats healthy foods such as fish, fruits, and vegetables. She also drinks lots of water and gets plenty of rest (or at least, she tries to).
Jamie Foxx
Jamie Foxx made his acting debut in the early 1990s. Yes, that’s almost three decades ago! And look at him — he still looks like he’s in his 30s despite the fact that he’s 50+ years old! The award-winning actor and musician revealed to Men’s Fitness magazine that it takes a lot of effort to maintain his body and looks.
He keeps in shape by doing 45-minute workout sessions, regularly, that include weight-lifting and basketball drills. He also eats a healthy diet, with lots of fiber and protein. He eats fish, veggies and turkey bacon and drinks orange juice and protein shakes. The actor admits that he sometimes cheats with his diet (who doesn’t?), but he makes up for it by working out extra hard.
