Life

4. Sandra Bullock: Age 53

Sandra Bullock is one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actresses, and has been nominated twice for an Academy Award, winning one in 2014 for her role in Gravity. Her breakout role was in the 1994 action film Speed, but truth be told she barely looks like she’s aged since then, over twenty years later. In fact, her personality and the way she carries herself would make one think she’s at least a decade younger. What’s her secret? She says varying up her workout helps to keep in fresh and avoiding your body from hitting a plateau. She mixes it up a bit with some Pilates, kickboxing, and weight training while in Los Angeles, and when in her hometown of Austin she goes bike riding or running. She also plans her meals weekly, allowing herself a cheat day to eat whatever she wants. To keep it fun she tries to wear new, stylish, or cute workout clothing to give her motivation.

3. Jada Pinkett Smith: Age 46

Jada Pinkett Smith is another mega beautiful Hollywood actress who just refuses to age. If you’ve ever seen any of those paparazzi shots of her and the family out at the beach, it’s hard to tell if she’s the mom or just one of Willow’s friends. How does she do it? “I was raised to believe you eat because your body needs fuel for energy,” Pinkett Smith told Shape magazine in 2009. “So, I eat super foods.” I suppose keeping track of her superstar husband Will Smith and those two kids of hers will also help burn unwanted pounds. No matter how she does it, Jada Pinkett Smith is definitely in top shape and doesn’t look anywhere near her age of 46. She’s definitely one of the steamiest celebrities around today.

2. Nia Long: Age 47

Remember Nia Long when she was in films like Boyz n the Hood (1991), Friday (1995), or even Big Momma’s House (2000)? She looked like the epitome of natural beauty. I know one thing we all fear, on some level if we’re honest with ourselves, is growing old and looking it. Long must sleep well at night because she definitely doesn’t look like she has to worry about that. For some people, beauty is painted on and superficial, fake hair, skinny jeans, whatever. Long credits her natural look on a routine beauty regimen that includes a deep cleansing facial wash and moisturizing. When asked, she said, “Sitting in a steam room for 20 minutes, I think, is the secret to why my skin has a youthful glow. It really does keep you moisturized. At home, inside of my steam shower, I add eucalyptus oil and it opens everything up.”

1. Tyra Banks: Age 44

This former supermodel and America’s Next Top Model host was the first African-American woman to grace the cover of GQ magazine and the Sport Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, twice! To be honest, at age 44, Tyra Banks still looks like she’s could hit the modelling runway tomorrow! Asked how she does it, she jokes, “For lunch, some red velvet cake and fried chicken. For dinner, you repeat what you just ate for breakfast and lunch. Then you get in bed and have Cheetos, Fritos and Doritos.” Seriously, though, she does acknowledge a must-do face-cleansing ritual to keep her beautiful face glowing, being sure to wash off her makeup every night before bed. She reports that she’s obsessed with moisturizing and credits that as the secret to not looking her age: “My mom taught me to lotion every part of my body right after I get out of the shower or out of the bath before your skin dries up.”
