The famous American actress and fashion model Christie Brinkley remains the ideal of beauty for many people. This is not surprising - at 66 years old, the woman looks 45.
Christy maintains a blog on Instagram, where she shares with her followers various tips to help maintain youth. She loves being photographed and is not shy about posting pictures taken by her friends and family, not by professional photographers. Joinfo.com will reveal the secret of Christie Brinkley's youth.
Veganism is a way of life
Christie recalls that in her youth she often resorted to various diets to maintain her figure. She believed that diets would help her always stay slim. However, Christie soon realized that the effect of such a diet could not be called long-term.
Then the woman decided to go a different route. She studied nutritional science for a long time and came to the conclusion that veganism is very beneficial for humans. Of course, this approach requires consultation with nutritionists and additional vitamin intake, but looking at Christie you understand that it is worth it.
The actress herself believes that food determines a person’s appearance, so you shouldn’t get carried away with fast food and other unhealthy dishes. After Christy became vegan, she noticed that her skin color improved. This applies not only to the natural shade of the face, but also to the tan, which has become more even on the body.
Despite the strict diet, Christy still decided to make an exception for seafood and included it in her diet.
Christie Brinkley. How to look 30 at 60?
Many people believe that women over forty are better off giving up long hair in favor of short haircuts. This opinion is justified, because not only the face, body, but also hair ages. They become thinner, drier, less frequent and, often, a good haircut is a salvation.
But Christie Brinkley managed to keep her hair looking youthful. One can only guess what it is - care, genetics or wigs? But the fact is that her hair is thick, smooth and shiny, like that of a young woman.
Secret of youth No. 2. Face frame
The most unpleasant sign of tissue aging is ptosis or, more simply, drooping, drooping of the face. This is exactly what a circular facelift eliminates. Biorevitalization and filler injections into the cheekbones are aimed at preventing jowls.
From the point of view of early aging, women with a narrow face and a sloping (or simply small) chin are at risk, since they do not have enough supporting structures for the soft tissues of the face tending downward. In this case, augmentation mentoplasty (chin surgery, like Megan Fox) is very rejuvenating.
Christy was lucky with her face shape. She, like many American women, has a wide face and lower jaw, a pronounced chin and the so-called finely wrinkled type of aging. That is, the face becomes covered with wrinkles, but nothing crawls away.
Secret of youth No. 3. Teeth
Has Christie Brinkley had dental restoration done? Absolutely yes. Our teeth are subject to considerable stress and by the age of 30 they begin to wear down. The front incisors, which in adolescents stick out even a little like a rabbit, in adults are comparable in size to the rest of the teeth. Dentists have long noticed this point and are using it with all their might when working on Hollywood smiles.
Christie Brinkley's teeth are made to perfection. That is, the teeth themselves are not at all flawless - and this is the whole secret. Natural things are never perfectly smooth. Christy's front incisors are slightly divergent, a little longer than the rest, the canines are sharp - everything is like those of young maidens. If you make even teeth of the same length, this will certainly add age - they will be associated with teeth that have already worn down.
Secret of youth No. 4. Complexion and moderate Botox
The skin of older people is never smooth. Hyperpigmentation is an evil that affects everyone. Passion for the sun and pregnancy are aggravating factors. Christy has the perfect complexion. This can be achieved by regularly seeing a dermatologist and using sunscreen.
As for Botox, again a nod to Christie and her cosmetologist. Jewelry work! Botox, of course, exists, but it is introduced so delicately that all healthy facial expressions are preserved. She lacks both a mirrored forehead and lifeless eyes, so often found in older stars.
Secret of youth No. 5. Smile and figure
Christie Brinkley's smile isn't just her trademark. Christy's smile performs a very important rejuvenating function - it tightens the oval of the face, fills the cheekbones, and removes nasolabial folds. How many photos can you find of Christie without a smile? There are almost none! Because a smile is one of the main secrets of her youth!
And of course, we can’t help but mention Christie’s figure. She exercises daily: running, yoga, strength exercises. The result is a lack of stiffness in movements and problems with posture.
With all this, Brinkley cannot be accused of lacking self-criticism. Yes, she wears very short minis, but she doesn’t neglect thin tights - alas, the skin of her legs at 60 is no longer flawless, so why show it off. Christie doesn't dress "seriously", but she always looks decent.
Amazing woman.
What is veganism?
Veganism is the strictest form of vegetarianism, which excludes the consumption of any animal products. Vegans not only avoid meat, but also eggs, milk and honey.
This applies not only to food, but also to other areas of life. For example, clothing made of leather and silk are unacceptable for vegans, as are cosmetics tested on animals.
Taking care of appearance and health
Christy doesn't just watch her diet. She works out four days a week, visits the spa, enjoys therapeutic massages and saunas. The woman also visits nutritionists and is regularly examined by doctors who prescribe her the necessary vitamins, since vegans are deprived of beneficial substances obtained from meat and animal products.
You can see photos of Christie, who looks much younger than her age, below.
If you understand that veganism is not for you, then we recommend turning to Sophia Loren’s diet. The Italian actress is known for not accepting strict dietary restrictions, but despite this, she maintains an excellent figure.

Christie Brinkley is perhaps the world's most famous "ageless woman." At age 60, she appeared on the cover of People in a swimsuit and looked much the same as she did at the peak of her modeling career in 1979.
At 61, she starred a lot in advertising and for glossy publications, and produces her own line of cosmetics. In the book Timeless Beauty, she spoke surprisingly honestly about how she maintained her youth and beauty, Glamor reports.
On February 2, 2020, Christie Brinkley will celebrate her 62nd birthday. She is dating 64-year-old musician John Mellencamp, has created her own cosmetics line and published a book, Timeless Beauty. At the same time, the supermodel has three children (eldest daughter Alexa is 28, son Jack is 18, and daughter Sailor Brinkley is 15 years old), and has already managed to “exchange” four husbands.
In the book, Christie Brinkley has collected exactly 100 tips, secrets and practical recommendations that will allow you to “look and feel great.” Brinkley shares recipes, makeup rules, and her own workout programs. The book is already on sale.
Proper nutrition
At the age of 13, Christie Brinkley gave up meat and became a vegetarian. Her diet consists mainly of vegetables and fruits, sometimes seafood. “For breakfast I eat oatmeal or yogurt with berries and fruits. For lunch, as a rule, there is a salad with beans and nuts. Dinner - vegetables. And no sugar. If I want something sweet, I'll drink cold coconut water or eat banana chips."
“I don’t count calories. I have “honest jeans” - those that fit me perfectly only when I’m in shape. They never lie to me,” Christie writes.
Sport
But what Brinkley is fixated on is sports and physical activity. Exercise helps her feel young: “As soon as I get my joints to work, I understand that I’m ready to do anything,” the model once said. At one time, she was the face of the TotalGym exercise machine and still says in all interviews that she uses it to pump up her abs, legs and arms.
In addition, Christy tries to do up to 100 push-ups every day, does yoga for at least half an hour and often goes for a morning run.
Don't think about age
“Biological age has nothing to do with my inner sense of self,” Brinkley constantly repeats to reporters. - Now for me these are absolutely meaningless numbers. I feel that time cannot become a limitation of my spirit, my energy, and in general me!”
Don't obsess over clothing size
Christie once said in another interview that her weight fluctuates from time to time. It’s not surprising, given such an exorbitant love for pasta and other delicacies. Her wardrobe includes jeans from sizes 40 to 44, but this doesn’t bother the star at all. There are no women without flaws. The main thing is to choose the right outfit that will hide them.
Skin care
Using products with an SPF factor is Christie’s main rule. She always remembers the dangers of ultraviolet radiation and never goes outside without protective cream.
“I’ve only tried Botox on my face once. Everyone said that after the injections the face would become relaxed and calm. In fact, I couldn't even move my eyebrows. The only place I use Botox now is my neck.”
Hair
Brinkley honestly admits that her hair is not very thick, so she uses hairpieces: “I almost never part with my hair extensions.” She achieves shine in her hair by rinsing it with champagne.
