Christy Turlington is "mostly happy" with the way she's aged

She told Harper's Bazaar magazine: "I think it's important to embrace every age, right?. The alternative is not that exciting, so staying optimistic and trying your best to be your best self at any time in your life is a good way to live ...

"I don't think there's anything I've grown to like more [as I've aged], but I definitely feel like I've changed a lot. It's funny how your own appearance can change so much, and I don't think about it as changing until I see some old image come up in my feed ...

"But I'm mostly happy with the way that I've aged. I can see my mom in myself and myself in my mom, which is nice, because my mom is 86 and she still looks good. So I feel like: 'Okay, that's reassuring, if I take care of myself, I should be okay.' It's kind of fun to see how you change, change is good."

Christy went on to lift the lid on her simple beauty regime that keeps her looking youthful, adding: "I mean, it's pretty simple. I wash my face in the morning and moisturize a lot.

"Sometimes I'll even double moisturize, because especially at this time of year, I get dry skin. And then, I'll add a nice little layer of foundation, some blush, and mascara, and that's kind of it, I'm on my way ...

"A good night's sleep or a run or something where I'm moving my body [helps]. Also, again, a bit of moisturizer in the morning wakes me up, makes me feel a little bit fresher, and a little bit goes a long way."

Christy named her favourite beauty products as Lancome's Rénergie moisturiser and the brand's Teint Idole foundation.

She added: "I mean, I love consistency, and I love reliability, and Rénergie is the best cream moisturizer situation going.

"So, I feel like that's a constant and a consistent for me. I love skincare so much, and I love other products too, but I start with the skin. I love a good foundation, but one that has a nice texture and provides a good amount of coverage, but you still look like you.

"I feel like the Teint Idole foundation is really awesome for that."
