Age is just a number: Beauty secrets of celebs over 50

Here is what leading ladies of the biggest industry have to say about staying beautiful even after crossing the big 50

Beauty queens from the yesteryears can give us all a lesson or two on how every woman can age gracefully without resorting to outrageously expensive skin care products, or going under the knife for one of those plastic surgery procedures that are all the vogue in Hollywood at the moment.

As compiled from The Huffington Post, here is what leading ladies of the world’s biggest industry have to say about staying beautiful even after crossing the big 50.

1- Cindy Crawford, 50:



She’s genetically blessed, yes, but this stunning model too does not get spared by the ruthless, inevitable signs of aging that gradually set in as the years go by. However, she has her own little secret to always looking young and flawless. “You can get any plastic surgery in the world,” she shares. “But hair colour is what enables women to look younger.” Crawford is known for treating her hair to stunning shades and top quality conditioning.

2- Viola Davis, 50:

This How To Get Away With Murder star is a huge fan of Crisco when it comes to keeping her skin healthy, smooth and glowing at all times. Crisco, a vegetable shortening acts against dryness and friction from bunions. Davis shared that she uses the product on her skin regularly and advised everyone to do the same when she appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

3- Demi Moore, 53:



Demi Moore, who had most of the world hooked to screens with her winning performances in Ghost, The Scarlet Letter and Passion of Mind, only swears by one thing for her age-defying beauty – moisturizer. “I moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!” she says. “No matter how late it is, when I get home, I take the time to clean and moisturize my face. If you focus on good skin care, you really won’t need a lot of makeup.”

4- Tina Turner, 76:

Tina Turner has long been known for her exceptional voice and timeless beauty. She seems to look better and better with every year that passes by, and she attributes her beauty to a strict workout regime that she has remained loyal to for four decades. “The main reason why I still look good is because I’ve spent 40 years doing the most intensive stage workouts ever – and my greatest beauty secret is always being happy with myself!”

5- Julianne Moore, 55:



The Far From Heaven star opposes the notion that women of a certain age need to keep the length of their hair short to look younger. Her signature long locks are always the center of attention at red carpet events. “One of the reasons I wear my hair long now is that the weight helps keep it smooth,” she reveals. Her second beauty secret is a simple yet effective one – sunscreen! “I’ve worn sunscreen every single day since I was 23,” she says. If it works for the stars, it’s probably never too late for everyone else to start.
