Timeless Beauty: 5 Anti‑Aging Secrets from 70‑Year‑Old Supermodel Beverly Johnson
Remember that iconic Vogue cover from 1974? Well, hold onto your hats, because the stunning woman gracing that cover is still turning heads today - almost 50 years later!
I'm talking about the fabulous Beverly Johnson, and let me tell you, she's giving us all serious #AgingGoals. 😍
At 70 years young, Beverly looks at least 18 years younger than most middle-aged women. So, what's her secret? Buckle up, beauties, because I'm about to spill the tea on Beverly's fountain of youth!
1. The Avocado Oil Magic 🥑
Beverly's number one secret? Avocado oil! This green goddess has been her go-to since the 70s, and for good reason. Packed with omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins A, D, and E, avocado oil is a skincare superstar. It boosts collagen, fights inflammation, and keeps your skin as supple as a baby's bottom.
Pro tip: Try massaging some avocado oil into your skin before bed. Your morning glow will thank you!
2. The Beauty Adventurer's Mindset 🧴
Beverly's bathroom? It's basically Sephora 2.0. She's always on the hunt for the latest and greatest in skincare. Her advice? Don't be afraid to experiment and evolve your routine as your skin changes.
Remember, what worked for you at 30 might not cut it at 50. Keep exploring!
3. Massage for the Win 💆♀️
Here's where it gets fun. Beverly swears by her jade roller for that extra glow. Not only does it cool and de-puff, but it also boosts circulation and lymphatic drainage. Plus, it's her little moment of zen in the desert heat of Palm Springs.
Bonus tip: Pop your jade roller in the fridge for an extra refreshing facial massage!
4. Move It or Lose It 🏌️♀️
Beverly's secret to staying young at heart? Finding a sport you love! For her, it's golf. It keeps her mind focused, her body moving, and her social life thriving. Walking those 5-7 kilometers per game is no joke - it's a full-body workout disguised as fun!
What's your passion? Whether it's dancing, yoga, or chasing after your grandkids, find something that gets you moving and stick with it!
5. Nourish Your Body and Soul 🧘♀️
Last but definitely not least, Beverly emphasizes the importance of nurturing yourself inside and out. Her go-to superfood? Yogurt! It's packed with skin-loving B vitamins, calcium, and zinc. Plus, it's delicious - talk about a win-win!
But it's not just about what you eat. Beverly practices meditation and journaling to stay centered. She's a big believer in "inner work" - examining your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. After all, true beauty radiates from within!
The Beverly Johnson Effect
Now, I know what you're thinking. "If this is 70... how do I speed up the clock?" Well, beauties, while we can't actually fast-forward time (wouldn't that be something?), we can certainly take a page out of Beverly's book.
Her journey hasn't always been easy. As the first Black model on the cover of Vogue, she faced discrimination and setbacks. But instead of letting it bring her down, she used it as fuel to fight for change. Now that's the kind of inner strength that keeps you young!
So there you have it, lovelies! Beverly Johnson's secrets to defying age and looking fabulous at any stage of life. Remember, it's not about trying to look 20 forever. It's about being the best, most radiant version of yourself at every age.

Cecilia
