How to look 30 at 50+: secrets of youth of Jennifer Lopez, Elizabeth Banks and other celebrities. Photo.

What is the secret of the "eternal" youth of some celebrities 50+? It can be attributed to the fact that they were lucky with genetics. However, this statement would not be entirely correct. According to research by Pingfu Fu, PhD, and Amy M. Polster, MD, about 40% of the physiological changes that make us age are caused by non-genetic factors. These include smoking, alcohol consumption, prolonged exposure to the sun without using sunscreen, and a high or low body mass index.

In the OBOZ.UA material, we have prepared a selection of celebrities who managed to outwit age. In their 50s, they look 30. Find out what they do for this.

1. Jennifer Garner (52 years old)

American actress and producer Jennifer Garner does not neglect the use of SPF creams at any time of the year (she only adjusts the level of protection). The mother of three is also an active sportswoman. She alternates dance cardio workouts with plyometrics (training consisting of jumping movements) and strength training. For food, she prefers berries, fruits, and vegetables that she grows in her own garden.

2. Jennifer Lopez (55 years old)

In 2016, the American actress, singer, and dancer Jennifer Lopez told People magazine that she starts every morning with meditation. Then she moves on to intense workouts. As a rule, these are dance moves that she repeats after her trainer Tracy Anderson. An interesting fact: according to a study in Preventive Medicine, people who are actively involved in sports are younger at the cellular level than their sedentary peers.

What about Lopez's well-groomed skin? "I think it's due to drinking enough water and eating fresh food, particularly fruits and vegetables. All of this affects the appearance of the skin," the star shared her simple secret.

3. Eva Mendes (50 years old)

American actress Eva Mendes is a fan of transcendental meditation, which is known as a technique for reducing stress and unlocking the full potential of the mind. It helps the star to feel inner balance and serenity, as well as to cope with life's ups and downs more easily. In addition, Mendes takes care of her skin. She uses coconut oil mixed with shea butter and coconut milk to moisturize it, yogurt and sea salt to cleanse it, and ice water to remove traces of fatigue.

Attention: If you want to repeat these beauty secrets, be sure to consult a dermatologist first.

4. Halle Berry (57 years old)

American actress Halle Berry considers systematic training to be her "elixir of youth". "Every time I set a new goal in sports, I feel stronger. It's like I've paved a new path in my journey... I think there is a fine line between 'challenging yourself' and 'forcing yourself'. It's important to see the difference," she told Self. As a teenager, the star used to work out with weights, and later replaced her strength training with Pilates, yoga, and martial arts.

5. Elizabeth Banks (50 years old)

American actress and director Elizabeth Banks began her career in film at the age of 24. Now she is 50. And it seems that she hasn't changed at all. How does she do it? "I do the basics: sunscreen, 8 hours of sleep, moisturizing my body and face... I don't smoke or drink alcohol," the Allure star said. Banks has had problematic skin since childhood, so for proper care she uses only those serums and creams advised by a cosmetologist. It is also known that tennis helps her keep her body in good shape.
