Penélope Cruz, 49, Reveals Her Best-Kept Secrets For Ageless Beauty

Penélope Cruz has been a beauty icon for years, and at 49, she still looks as radiant as ever. From eating a healthy and balanced diet to regularly exercising, the award-winning actress shared the secrets that help her age gracefully and maintain a youthful appearance.

She avoids sugar.

It may seem impossible to resist a delicious cupcake or your favorite doughnut, but cutting down on sugar can tremendously benefit your skin. The To Rome With Love actress tries to avoid foods that may harm her beauty. “I try to avoid dairy and sugar. I eat lots of fruits, vegetables, and quality protein from free-range animals. I also drink gallons of water now, which is something I wasn’t doing,” she shared.

She works out a lot.

Regular exercise helps you stay energized and benefits your overall health. Working out daily can also positively impact your skin, and Cruz does her best to stay active. “I do Bikram yoga, which has completely changed my body. I used to be sluggish, and now my energy level is through the roof. It’s like magic, but you have to earn that magic,” she said.

She uses a jade roller to de-puff her face.

A jade face roller is an affordable beauty tool that can work wonders for your skin. Regular use can brighten your complexion, reduce puffiness, and contour your face. “My makeup artist, Pablo Iglesias, used a jade roller on me on the set of our last movie, and guess what? It really works,” shared Cruz.

She always cleanses her skin at night.

Forgetting to cleanse and moisturize your skin before bed can lead to unpleasant consequences such as clogged pores and premature wrinkles. The actress is very disciplined about her nighttime beauty rituals and never skips her proper skincare routine. “I always cleanse and hydrate,” she said.

She believes that beauty begins from within.

Using the right skincare products can benefit your complexion, but your gut health and proper nutrition are also vital. “I’m passionate about it. I really believe it’s true that your stomach is your second brain,” the award-winning actress said.

Penélope Cruz is a beautiful and talented actress, and her friendship with Salma Hayek shows what a caring and loving person she is. The story of their friendship proves that if the right person is beside you, you can stay friends for life.
