Cameron Diaz's secrets to aging backward at 51 revealed – actress uses a $20 serum and eats two breakfasts | 8L51023 | 2024-05-01 20:08:01
CAMERON Diaz seems to be defying the signs of aging, looking almost the same as she did in when she shot to fame in 1994's The Mask.
And the blonde bombshell doesn't gatekeep: she's shared her go-to skincare, her hair oil, and the wellness routine that keeps her looking gorgeous at 51.
Cameron has an impressive résumé including There's Something About Mary, Shrek, The Holiday, and My Best Friend's Wedding.
However, she's arguably most remembered for her iconic role in Charlie's Angels which is still often discussed by fans online.
Now, fans are anticipating her return from early retirement in Netflix's Back In Action — and they're stunned by how great she looks.
"Cameron Diaz is not aging and Lucy Liu is amazing and I love Drew Barrymore. Yes, I am watching Charlie's Angels," one person tweeted.
"Cameron Diaz looks so young OMG," another wrote.
"You know who's a bad b***h I've always loved? Cameron Diaz —beautiful and funny [heart eyes]," a third said.
At the peak of her career, the Vanilla Sky actress was voted as having the "perfect" body shape by readers of Women's Health.
In 2019, Cameron welcomed her first child with her husband Benji Madden, a baby girl named Raddix.
She also co-founded an organic wine brand, Avaline, that Forbes said has achieved over $20 million in revenue.
We've taken a deep dive into her anti-aging secrets to discover how she stays youthful despite her heavy workload.

Cameron told Goop that wearing makeup every day for most of her life was "depleting" her skin and causing breakouts.
She revealed a trio of beauty staples that have helped to transform her skin.
"I'm so into the Goop glow," she said.
"I just love the Microderm scrub — it feels so good and really makes a difference in my skin.
"I have a face oil and a retinol from Versed, and that's about it.
"When I get up in the morning, I run my skin under the water in the shower — I don't even use a cleanser in the mornings."
Goop Beauty's Microderm Instant Glow Exfoliator is sold on the brand's website for $125.
Versed's Press Restart gentle retinol serum has a 4.5-star rating on the Versed website, where it costs $29.
The brand's Sunday Morning antioxidant oil serum is sold for $20.
Cameron surprised listeners of Michelle Visage's podcast Rule Breakers when she revealed her minimal skincare routine.
She confessed to skipping a step that most beauty enthusiasts would consider the minimum.

"I literally do nothing," she said, according to Women's Health.
"I like never wash my face…. Twice a month, if I'm lucky, I'll be like, 'Oh, I better put this on. One time works, right?'"
Healthline previously spoke to experts who say every person should wash their face both morning and night.
However, if you can only commit to washing once a day it's best to do nightly to help remove grime and oil built up during the day.
Cameron said that stepping back from her acting career made her put less focus on her appearance.
"I'm like a wild animal, like a beast. I don't care," she said.
"Literally the last thing I think about on a daily basis — like maybe not at all during the day — is what I look like."
MAKEUP
"After the years of having to wear it, I love makeup as a fun little touch," Cameron told Goop.
"Merit makes absolutely beautiful things, like my favorite lipstick, their Signature Lip in Cabo, which is just bright and light and effortless.
"And Gucci Westman's highlight is so pretty, and her lip palettes are amazing, in every shade."
The actress previously took to Instagram to share her six-step makeup routine while enjoying a glass of wine.
She began by applying Merit's Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick, which can be used as a foundation or concealer.
"I'm using the ochre, the yellowness of it cancels all my redness," she said.
The $38 complexion stick is available on the Merit website in a wide variety of colors.

Cameron then applied Merit's Bronze Balm Sheer Bronzer, which cost $30, to add definition and warmth to her face.
She used a large makeup brush to blend Merit's Flush Balm Cream Blush in the shade Raspberry Beret to her cheeks and used the same product on her lips.
The look was completed with Merit Beauty Clean Lash Lengthening Mascara and Merit Beauty Brow 1980 Volumizing Pomade.
HAIR
Cameron's hairstylist, Lona Vigi, uses OriginalMineral Frizzy Logic Shine Serum to tame her flyways, according to Elle.
Having flat-ironed her glossy blonde locks, Lona rubs a dime-sized amount of the product in her hands before patting it onto Cameron's hair.
OriginalMineral sells the serum which contains organic argan oil and native Australian macadamia oil for $70.
Celebrity hairstylist Ben Skervin demonstrated how he created Cameron's beachy waves for her appearance on the cover of InStyle in a YouTube video.

He added a foaming mouse to damp hair before blow-drying in sections to get his desired texture.
He then applied a holding spray to each section before creating waves with a medium-sized curling iron.
"Then I'm going to use one of my favorite products that I love," he said.
"It's a dry shampoo for blondes and what it does is just give the hair a little bit more guts and just deconstructs the hair a little bit too."
FITNESS
Cameron has co-written two tomes focused on health and wellness, The Body Book and The Longevity Book.
Amazon shoppers have given both books a 4.4-star rating and penned rave reviews about how it encouraged them to take care of themselves.
The actress took to Instagram at the time of The Longevity Book's release saying that she wanted to spark change.

"I am so proud of this book and very much looking forward to engaging us all in a new conversation about aging — how to do it with strength, grace, health, and wisdom," she said.
Cameron goes to the gym with her trainer Teddy Bass almost every day, where they do varied strength training, HITT, and pilates.
"Some days I go to the gym for literally 10 minutes," she told Self. "But the fact that I got up and got there matters to me.
"Because at the end of all of this, I want to be able to say, 'I did the best I could.'
"It's not about having a ripped stomach. It's about taking care of myself."
DIET
Cameron has had an enviably slender physique throughout her years in the spotlight.
However, she confessed in her book that she previously struggled with body positivity.
"I did not like my body when I was a kid," she wrote, according to Marie Claire.
"I was all skin and bones, all arms and legs. I was really, really skinny, and the other kids let me have it because of that.
"I hated being skinny. Being made fun of feels terrible, no matter what the reason is, no matter who you are."
The actress is now mindful of what she eats and said in a Goop interview that intermittent fasting helps her stay on track with her nutrition.
"Doing a little reset kind of brings you back," she said.
"It helps you be more present in the moment, staying aware of what you're saying and what you're doing."
The actress starts her day by drinking a big glass bottle of water that has been put on her bathroom counter the night before.
She follows a Mediterranean-style diet and revealed to Bon Appetit that she has two protein-rich breakfasts.
"At my first breakfast, I just put something in my stomach before my workout — usually scrambled eggs, toast, an avocado, an apple with almond butter, overnight oats, or a piece of chicken," Cameron said.
"It's just enough to kick things into gear. Then I work out.
"After that, at second breakfast, I joke that I eat dinner for breakfast. It's a full meal with chicken, grains, and sautéed or roasted vegetables."
