Cindy Crawford shares the secrets of beauty and slimness
0
At fifty-six Cindy Crawford looks amazing – it is simply impossible not to agree with this. Love for sports, which has only strengthened since the days of her Shape Your Body fitness program, proper nutrition and competent care do the trick. Below, the 1990s supermodel shares her top five beauty secrets, from how to create luscious curls to her favorite morning smoothie recipe.
Cardio, walking, squats – keep variety in your daily workouts.
I like the new-fangled yoga and jogging, but the old, time-tested techniques work better for me. They were taught to me by my coach Radu, with whom I worked on a cycle of video lessons on aerobics. Now I have a different trainer, I train three times a week at home. With it, we do push-ups, squats, “pull weights” and exercise on the steppe. Right after having children or more recently, before going on tour with my book, I slowed down. But now, on the contrary, she has increased the intensity of cardio and interval training. I also walk in the hills, and on weekends I ride a bicycle.

Start the day with a hearty smoothie
Every morning I make a smoothie: I blend spinach, half a banana, raw cocoa beans and fresh mint with almond milk and protein powder in a blender. It's delicious, and the appetite will wake up very soon.
Relax – meditate and go to the sauna
Recently, the whole family took a course on the basics of meditation. I do it irregularly, but it was very interesting to evaluate its beneficial effect on myself — on my own state of mind. This new relaxation tool in my arsenal comes into play every time I need it. But my favorite relaxing ritual is an infrared sauna: half an hour in it with a good book and I'm a completely different person.
Sunscreen always
I've been using my makeup since I was 30 (Cindy Crawford has her own line of cosmetics, Meaningful Beauty). It is constantly updated and improved by Dr. Jean-Louis Seba. I am also a fan of microdermabrasion (mechanical exfoliation of the upper keratinized layer of the skin), this procedure is excellently performed by Hollywood cosmetologist Khrystyna Radu. For me, good UV protection is a matter of first necessity. My skin is pretty sensitive to the sun and tans easily, so if I don't have my go-to, I grab the first sunscreen I can find. I don't do without a hat and glasses on the beach.

Combine the useful with the useful – take care of your hair in your sleep and during exercise
I like to do several things at the same time, because good care takes time, and I count every minute. I even include beauty rituals in my training. For example, if I know I'm going to wash my hair after class, I put a mask on my hair before I start. A thick ponytail has never bothered anyone. I recently discovered the Lush mask with jasmine and henna, I recommend it to everyone!
