And judging by how gorgeous Cindy looks in her latest photo shoot for Violet Grey, we vow to do everything she says!
The iconic model talks about everything from building a brand to taking steps to prevent aging on your skin AND hair!
Read on for all the great HIGHlights!

On building a brand as a model:
“I was lucky because House of Style was like my Twitter. I got to be more than just a picture. Because of social media, so many of the girls today, like Coco Rocha, Lily Aldridge, Georgia May Jagger and Cara Delevingne, are brand-building. When I started modeling there was no language for that.”
On the opportunities provided by her curves:
“Fortunately, we weren’t expected to be a size 0 or 2 in my era. Christy [Turlington] and Linda [Evangelista] and I, we weren’t so tiny. But I was still voluptuous even in that group. Sometimes it was hard at the fashion shows. But because of the way my body was, I had some different opportunities, like my swimsuit calendars.”
On taking care of her skin:
“I’ve been getting microdermabrasion facials with Cristina Radu for 13 years, and that’s been great for my skin. I’ve been working with the dermatologist Jean-Louis Sebagh on my skin-care line ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ also for 13 years ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ and he knows what he’s doing. Dr. Sebagh is not about damaging your skin with lasers and peels to make it look better. I use SPF day cream every day, cleanser every day and night. I definitely use the night cream, eye cream and the Cr├â┬¿me de Serum from my line. What I think is true is that [results are] cumulative. When a 35-year-old starts taking care of her skin, she won’t look different. It’s when you’re my age that you start seeing the payoff.”
On turning 50:
“I thought that writing a book, compiling photos and writing essays about my experiences may be an interesting way to turn 50. It’s probably what we all should do on our birthdays, to take a look back to examine our lives. I’m just doing it more publicly. When you’re in the middle of something you can’t see as clearly, so├óΓé¼┬ªit’s been a great journey for me to look back and reflect.”
On her makeup routine:
“My friend makeup artist Sonia Kashuk makes this eye-shadow palette with 16 different shades of brown, and we laugh because it’s perfect for me. I’ll comb my eyebrows [and] put on some mascara and maybe a little lipgloss if I’m going out.”
On posing nude:
“I remember when I shot that Michael Thompson cover for W when I was pregnant with my son. It’s funny because the intention was not to do nudes. It just looked better without clothes. Michael is a real family guy, so he understood how I was feeling. It’s hard when you’re modeling your whole life and your body changes like that. It’s scary. Doing that shoot was a way to help me transition. I remember my publicist showed up on set and saying, “You can’t even keep your clothes on when you’re pregnant!”
On aging:
“I don’t want to look in the mirror every day and be down on myself. Look, I’m holding together pretty good, but I don’t look like I did when I was 25 or 30 or even 40. What I’m finding for myself is that if I continue to be engaged, to do what I love, that’s how I get my self-esteem cup filled. I get a lot of that from my family and work. I’m good at my job. I know I’m a good model at this point in my career. Though some days I feel like I’m too busy or too stressed out, I’m still excited to go to work. That kind of translates from the internal to the external. The secret is that there’s no secret. Do all the stuff we know: Don’t smoke, get enough sleep, drink plenty of water, find what makes you happy.”
On eating habits in the 90s:
“Remember back in the ’90s when people thought a big bowl of pasta was a low-calorie option? Those were the days! Today, eating that is like eating a sundae.”
On aging hair and how to take care of it:
“No one tells you about your hair! You don’t expect the texture to change and that it will break more easily. I’m definitely kinder to it now. I don’t wash and dry it every day. I try to make a blow-dry last. If I work out, I’ll pin it up in a top knot so I don’t get dents in it. I’ll sleep with it pinned up. There’s a jasmine hair mask from Lush that I love. You put it on before you wash your hair, before you get in the shower. With regular masks they say to wash your hair and then leave it on for 10 minutes. What am I doing waiting naked in the shower with a 10-minute hair mask on? It doesn’t make any sense.”
On her daughter Kaia following models:
“I have a 13-year-old daughter, and she keeps me up on things like this. I like the girls who look like they have real personalities, like they’re people I would want to meet. Georgia May Jagger is one I like to watch. Her pictures are beautiful but also interesting.”
On smoothies:
“I reach out to my friend (acupuncturist, herbalist and certified Chinese nutritionist) Neka Pasqualeto get ideas about nutrition and wellness. Every morning I make a smoothie that’s based on her chocolate-mint shake: I put almond milk, spinach, fresh mint, cacao nibs, and half a frozen banana in a blender, and I add a few extras like green powder and extra protein powder. It’s delicious and doesn’t make me feel bloated. I can work out, go to work and feel good when I drink it.”
