And although it’s unlikely they are going to CC us in on an email sharing the recipe anytime soon, we aren’t totally out of luck when it comes to understanding how exactly our fave celebs look so damn good. 

From eating more vegetables to leech therapy in Austria, here are 13 age-defying secrets from the women who just seem to be getting younger…


Demi Moore – 58 years old

“I feel like I’ve always been someone looking for the cutting edge of things that optimise your health and healing,” she explained during an appearance on David Letterman.

“I was in Austria doing a cleanse and part of the treatment was leech therapy.”

 

Helen Mirren – 75 years old

“L’Oréal has really put money, effort, and science into its Age Perfect makeup,” she said to Glamour, speaking of L’Oreal’s makeup range specifically formulated for mature aged skin. 

“At 40, I remember believing I was supposed to look like a 16-year-old if I used certain makeup, [and as a result] I felt like an idiot”

 

Goldie Hawn – 75 years old

“I drink my green juice every day!” Goldie told People

“I don’t mix my foods too much,” she continued. “So if I want to have like protein I’ll just eat a bowl of lentils, I won’t mix it with a bunch of stuff.”

 

Jane Fonda – 83 years old

Speaking openly of her cosmetic surgery under her eyes, Jane revealed.

 

“I felt pretty terrific, but I always looked tired,” she says. “I got tired of not looking like how I felt.” 

 

Meryl Streep – 71 years old

Speaking of her encounter with Meryl, journalist Fi Glover revealed to podcast Woman’s Hour, “we were talking about beauty tips, it was a fascinating evening full of political discussion and engagement.” 


“She said that her one beauty secret was never to touch her face. She never touches her face.”

 

Gwen Stefani – 51 years old

“The one thing that I have really changed is trying to get all the makeup off,” she told Elle.

“It was hard when I was younger because I was always on a tour bus, literally washing my face with bottled water, inside a bus. But the key is to keep it clean at night [and] let your face breath because I really don’t let it breathe at any other time.”

 

Halle Berry – 54 years old

“I do believe that exercise is so related to healthy skin and how you not only feel but how you look. Cardio. Cardio. Cardio. Getting the blood running through your body is so good for your complexion,” she said, speaking to Prevention.

 

Sophia Loren – 86 years old

Speaking to the Sunday Times, Italian beauty Sophia Loren revealed her greatest advice for keeping a healthy, youthful glow is  “a love of life, spaghetti and the odd bath in virgin olive oil.”

Tina Turner – 81 years old

“I don’t abuse myself with sweets, sugars, cakes and fat. I eat healthily. The pleasure of life is dinner.” She said to Mirror UK


Adding, “a 50-year-old woman is equivalent to 40 when I was growing up,” she insists. “If you take care of yourself, 60 is nothing for women these days. In today’s world, you can be the kind of woman you want to be.”

 

Elizabeth Hurley – 55 years old

“I like simple, natural, easy food. I don’t really like food with a lot of chemicals or additives,” Elizabeth told The Cut.

“When I’m at home in the country, I always try and eat food that’s grown locally. That goes for meats and vegetables.”

Eva Longoria – 45 years old

“People think the trick to looking younger is makeup, but it’s skin care,” Longoria told Allure.

“If you don’t have good skin, piling on makeup just makes you look older and much worse. When it comes to makeup, I don’t overset or over powder it. The more powder you put on the fine lines in your face, the more you see it. Most people say ‘oh let me cover it’ but it looks much thicker and worse.”

 

Kim Cattral – 64 years old

“Other than the red, I don’t like deep, dark colours like purple because they go into that hard territory. I think the older you get, the softer you should go with your makeup” she said when speaking to Stylecaster.

Elle Macpherson – 56 years old

Speaking to Harpers Bazaar US, Elle revealed her greatest beauty secret is none other than…

“Water. My kids always laugh because they’ll say, ‘Mum, I have a headache..’ Drink water. ‘Mum, I’m hungry…’ Drink water. ‘Mum, I can’t sleep very well…’ Drink some water.”

  1. Actually, looking good for Celebs starts with a good cosmetic/plastic surgeon.
    It's false advertising to have people think that at 60 you could look like your 30 without having work done, even if you eat tons of veggies.

  2. Hmmmm, sounds like they're giving great advice, However, they seem to forget having great genes, a plastic surgeon on speed dial and a truckload of money for incredibly expensive products and a beautician being on hand!

  3. Hi everyone I'm Olivia Hannah and am here to share the wonderful work Dr Raypower did for me. After 5 years in marriage with my husband with 2 kids, my husband started acting weird and going out with other ladies and showed me cold love, on several occasions he threatens to divorce me if I dare question him about his affair with other ladies, I was totally devastated and confused until a old friend of mine told me about a spell caster on the internet called Dr. Raypower who help people with relationship and marriage problem by the powers of love spells, at first I doubted if such thing ever exists but decided to give it a try, when I contact him, he helped me cast a love spell and within 48hours my husband came back to me and started apologizing, now he has stopped going out with other ladies and his with me for good and for real.

  4. My names are Ashley Vivian, Am here to share a testimony on how Dr Raypower helped me. After a 1/5 year relationship with my boyfriend, he changed suddenly and stopped contacting me regularly, he would come up with excuses of not seeing me all the time. He stopped answering my calls and my sms and he stopped seeing me regularly. I then started catching him with different girls several times but every time he would say that he loved me and that he needed some time to think about our relationship. But I couldn't stop thinking about him so I decided to go online and I saw so many good talks about this spell caster called Dr Raypower and I contacted him and explained my problems to him. He cast a love spell for me which i use and after 24 hours, my boyfriend came back to me and started contacting me regularly and we moved in together after a few months and he was more open to me than before and he started spending more time with me than his friends. We eventually got married and we now have been married happily for 3 years with a son. Ever since Dr Raypower helped me, my partner is very stable, faithful and closer to me than before.

  5. I bet botox and dermabrasion and perhaps some cosmetic sculpting fall high on their great looks, then enhanced with make up. Some stars are natural but almost all have Hollywood teeth.
