Beautiful supermodels Cindy Crawford, Christie Brinkley, and
Carolyn Murphy sit down for a chat with Allure magazine and share
their beauty and diet tips for looking gorgeous and feeling great
after 30.
Cindy Crawford, 46, says that, "My trainer, Sarah Hagaman, comes to
my house three times a week. It's an old-fashioned workout. I do
lunges and dead lifts on the Power Plate; it gives a little extra
core strengthening. On the weekends, if I can get a hike or a walk
in, I feel good about that."
Crawford also says that taking care of your skin is essential.
"Before taking the kids to school, I might put on a serum with
vitamin C, which gives me a glow. After I work out, I put on a
moisturizer with sunscreen, like Meaningful Beauty Antioxidant Day
Crème SPF 20 UVA/UVB. If I'm really going to be in the sun, I'll
wear an SPF 100 sunscreen, too, plus a hat and something that
covers my chest. A couple of times a week, I'll use a glycolic pad
before bed, and every night I put on a night cream," she
explained.
Carolyn Murphy, 38, understands the importance of using sunscreen.
"I love physical sunblocks with zinc. When I used to surf, I'd
sometimes tuck a bottle of sunscreen into my wet suit sleeve — when
you're in the water having a great time, you're not thinking about
running out to put on more sunblock. I'm not surfing much anymore,
but I love hiking and gardening, and I'm always wearing a hat and
sunblock," the supermodel told Allure.
On dieting, Christie Brinkley, 58, confesses that, "When I
turned 50, I was like, 'Cut me some slack. From here on out, if I
feel like eating it, I'm eating it.' Of course, now that I'm
50-something, I realize that I just feel better if I eat right. I
do it for me."
Besides, Cindy Crawford says that we all should avoid the yo-yo
dieting. "I met Dr. [Jean-Louis] Sebagh [my partner in Meaningful
Beauty] when I was 28. He 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," she says.
Crawford also advises women to get real. "People expect too much
from a cream. Like, if I lose weight, you see it in my face first,
because you lose volume. And volume doesn't come in a jar. And then
there's deep wrinkles, and even though some creams promise to treat
them, I haven't found one that works. What you can treat is texture
and fine lines. I learned to separate those things in my mind," she
told the magazine.
When it comes to exercising, Brinkley admits that moving plays
an essential role if you want to look fabulous after 30. "I try to
get some exercise every day, and I usually average four or five
times a week. I love yoga classes, but if I don't have time for
them, I just roll the mat down in my bedroom and go through some
sun salutations to sort of warm up for the day. I'll also squeeze
some exercise into normal activities: I'll do squats while drying
my hair or leg-lifts as I brush my teeth," Christie says.
Crawford reveals that hair is another thing a woman should really
pay attention to. "Everyone loves to talk about plastic surgery and
all that stuff, but hair is the most underestimated thing — if you
have good color and shiny hair, you can see that across a room. In
Nora Ephron's I Feel Bad About My Neck [Knopf], she writes about
women being nostalgic for their young bodies. That's how I feel
about hair. Now, I look at my daughter's, and I'm like, 'You have
my old hair! I want it back,'" she told Allure.
What about the best anti-aging advice they received? Carolyn Murphy
admits that, "The best anti-aging advice I've ever received? Drink
a lot of water and have a plant-based diet. I also do mindful
meditation with my daughter every day. It takes ten minutes. I
think reducing stress plays a big part in anti-aging."
