Claudia Schiffer
Being a model means that you have to put even more time and effort into your appearance, but Claudia Schiffer’s go-to anti-aging trick is actually quite a simple one. This supermodel’s main secret is staying hydrated, which means that skin cells remain plump and soft, preventing wrinkles and fine lines. Not only does Schiffer drink plenty of water throughout the day, but she also cleanses her face with Evian water, as she feels as though this makes it feel even softer and cleaner. While this may not be realistic for everyone to do, there are many water-based cleansers that will clean your face without leaving it feeling tight or dry.
Elizabeth McGovern
Star of hit television show Downton Abbey, Elizabeth McGovern is over the age of 50 but looks years younger, and her go-to anti-aging trick is what helped her to feel happier and sexier than ever on her 50th birthday. For McGovern, regular yoga sessions are key, as this not only has anti-aging benefits for the skin, but also for the whole body.

Julianna Margulies
Julianna Margulies, star of television show The Good Wife, has a favorite anti-aging trick that would benefit just about everybody. Since her skin is quite pale, Margulies has spent most of her life ensuring that she stays well away from direct sun exposure, as she has been aware, from a young age, of the detrimental impacts that this can have. Margulies is also a huge fan of wearing daily SPF in sufficient amounts, and believes that this is what has largely contributed to her youthful glow.
Halle Berry
Actress Halle Berry is known for her luminescent skin, and, in addition to regularly exfoliating her face, which is vital when it comes to slowing down the aging process, she also applies pure vitamin C onto her skin underneath her moisturizer. Vitamin C is an antioxidant, and is known for being one of the very best skin care and anti-aging ingredients out there, because not only does it help to prevent and treat sun damage, but it is also vital when it comes to promoting the production of collagen within the body.

Helen Mirren
Being over the age of 70, Helen Mirren has already had to deal with her fair share of skin aging, but her go-to anti-aging secret is always ensuring that she is getting enough sleep. While this really is important, make sure that you are using a silk or satin pillowcase, as other fabrics can often exacerbate wrinkles, and try to sleep on your back as much as possible.
While it may seem as though each celebrity would have their own arsenal of anti-aging tricks, the key to youthful skin is simply providing it with everything that it needs. From never allowing it to become dehydrated, to staying away from the sun, to daily yoga sessions that help tone your facial muscles and reduce stress, practising a healthy lifestyle is the most powerful anti-aging trick out there.
