Daughters share their mothers’ (and grandmothers’) secrets for staying young
Use a light hand with makeup
That’s what Almay brand ambassador Kate Hudson and her mom Goldie Hawn advised when they teamed up for a Mother’s Day campaign. “The best tip I learned from my mom is how to do a quick face…with mascara, eyeliner, bronzer and good lip gloss,” Hudson told us.
Don’t get stressed
“Great advice from my beautiful 93-year-old grandmother: Don’t let yourself get stressed over the little things.”
Get moving
“Keep moving to wherever, and doing whatever…but just keep moving.”
Work for as long as you want
“My mom is 84 and she still works part-time, and that helps keep her spirits high. If there is a problem, she also says, ‘We shall overcome!'”
Avoid the sun – and have a sense of humour
“Stay out of the sun; don’t get married; and don’t have children. LOL.”
Drink water
“Drink lemon water each and every morning.”
“My grandma Grace used to have a bottle of water with her at all times….and she was the most beautiful grandma ever! Dearly missed.”
Wash with rosewater
“My grandma washes her face with rosewater every day.”
Love yourself
“I am blessed with an amazing Mum! She says, ‘Stay active and love yourself.’ And, oh yeah, that salt and water cures most ailments.”
Laugh a lot with good friends
“Make sure your life has friends, family and lots of laughter, because every wrinkle has a good memory that comes with it.”
Make lunch the biggest meal of the day
“My grandparents both lived long lives. They had their big meal at lunchtime and soup for dinner.”
Stay active
“My mom-in-law is amazing, and it’s all in her attitude! She says it’s important to stay active as much as possible and not give in to the ‘number.'”
