The legendary supermodel of the 90s and a real style icon will turn 56 in February, although fans are sure that today Cindy looks almost more spectacular than at the dawn of her career. The secret to her great looks is simple – the mother of two and iconic muse of designers has remained true to a certain lifestyle for many years. Disciplined nutrition, sports and self-love always promote beauty as well as inner balance. Femme4 has collected the most interesting quotes and facts that will tell you what Cindy Crawford has learned in her 20 years of modeling career.

1. RECIPE FOR YOUR FAVORITE SMOOTHIE AND PIZZA

“I usually start every morning with a healthy smoothie. For example, I mix a cup of almond milk, half a frozen banana, a cup of fresh spinach, ¼ cup mint, and cocoa chips. My daughter just loves this drink. For lunch, I usually eat a salad with chicken. I try to eat right throughout the day. By the way, we order pizza every Sunday night, but I make myself a special one – I put Thai peanut sauce instead of tomato sauce on a Mexican tortilla, some vegetables and even less cheese. I like this option even more than regular pizza. But I love chocolate very much, I always have it on hand in small quantities.”

2. ABOUT PREGNANCY AND THE BODY

“During my pregnancy, I gained only 13 kilograms, but I will never forget the first time I looked at my stomach after the birth of Presley. It was not only swollen, but also looked like a Shar Pei puppy – the same number of folds, though not so cute. I think the wisest decision on my part at the time was to film a video tutorial with exercises designed to help new moms get back in shape. This motivated me to take up fitness again.”

3. ABOUT NECK AND FACE CARE

“About 20 years ago, I met a woman who regularly does neck exercises. She explained to me that if you keep these muscles in good shape, then with age it will also help maintain a normal face shape. I have included these exercises in my training program, everything is simple there. Lie on your back with your chin pointing up. Now raise your head a little and start pressing your chin to your chest, then return your head to its original position, but do not lower your head to the floor, keep it on weight. I do three sets of 10 reps, but you can do less or more.”

4. ABOUT CORRECT MODEL EDUCATION

“I am a mother of two children, and if they want ice cream, then I will also eat ice cream with them. I don’t want my daughter to think that a beautiful woman is a permanent limitation. She sees my workouts, but she also sees that I can still choose my lifestyle. I want to be a good example for her.”

5. ABOUT PERFECT STYLING

“I am of the opinion that you can do two useful procedures at once, so I try to take care of myself during training. For example, after training, I always wash my hair, so before class I apply a moisturizer to my hair and collect it in a ponytail. Of course, after many years of working in the modeling business, my hair is no longer as thick as it used to be. Now I spend a lot of time drying my hair. It is best to let them dry naturally. I also noticed that if I sleep with a high bun, then in the morning my hair falls in beautiful waves.”

6. ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS WITH HER HUSBAND

“I think my relationship with Randy, my marriage, and even my career benefited from the fact that at first we were just friends. Of course, we liked each other, but the circumstances were such that our love was preceded by a strong friendship. In general, Randy is an incredibly easy-to-communicate person, I feel safe with him. I believed him when he said he wanted to make me happy.”

7. ABOUT THE STRENGTH OF THE PERSON

“I really believe that it is impossible to teach how to become a model ─ everything must come from within. My only practical advice to my daughter before the fashion show was: “I don’t want to see a girl with dead eyes and an expressionless face on the podium.” I don’t think it can be interesting, although I know that it is now considered stylish. I then told Kaia that people want to see a person. It’s not for every show, but I think she got me.”

8. ABOUT THE BEAUTY OF YOUR SKIN

“I am never too lazy to put on sunscreen. This is a must for me. A little sunscreen, some blush, lip gloss, and mascara—I can only walk out the door if I put these four products on my face. When I go to a photo shoot or work with a new photographer, I often hear things like “And your skin is really in very good condition.”  I am convinced that without nutrition, exercise and proper sleep, it would look worse. Genetics, of course, play an important role too.”

9. ABOUT THE MOLE ABOVE THE LIP

“It is known that the mole on the right is a sign of beauty. However, I have it on the left, and this was considered ugly during my childhood, and because of this, I got a lot from my peers. I often thought about getting rid of it, but my mother once said: “You don’t know how your mole will look in time and what it will give you.” But it’s true, it became my badge of distinction, a calling card.
