THE ANTI-AGING APPROACH “I know a lot of different women who approach aging from every different way. I have a friend who decided to go gray. I have some friends that will do anything, like they are fighting the hard fight.”
“The one thing my body does like and need that I would never deprive it of is chocolate. I love dark chocolate, but I don’t have a ton of it. I’ll break off a square.”
BEEN THERE, D O N E T H AT “I’ve had my makeup and hair done and been dressed so many times that it’s like when I’m not doing that I don’t want to be thinking about all of that.”
For former supermodel Cindy Crawford, she’s come to terms with the fact that she’s 50—and all that comes along with it—and that she’ll never look like she’s 20, again. And she’s totally fine with it. “No matter what I do, I’m not going to look 20, or 30. I just want to look great for 50. I exercise, eat healthy and take really good care of my skin. There’s pressure on women to do the undoable, which is not age. But it’s about looking great for however old you are, regardless of what that number is.” It’s pretty hard not to say that Crawford isn’t the best version of herself today, or any day. One of the original supermodels of the 1990s, Crawford, who was discovered at the age of 16 and would later trade her dreams of being a chemical engineer for owning the runway, may still be considered one of the most beautiful women to ever live. But she didn’t grow up with any beauty knowledge, especially for the world of glossy covers, big brand endorsements and endless catwalk struts that she was about to infringe upon and take over. “My mother did not wear makeup. She got married when she was 16 and my dad did not like makeup. She wasn’t a beauty role model for me, but she was a role model in so many other ways. I admire all that my mom made it
