Most of us here in the Talent Management offices wouldn’t say no to looking a year or two younger.

But we already moisturise, drink 8 cups of water daily and protect ourselves from the sun, what more can we do? Gain a few pounds, says supermodel Heidi Klum.

The youthful looking 37-year-old was asked by a Self magazine reader: “Your skin is amazing. Share your anti-aging secret, please!”

To which Klum answered: “The ultimate beauty secret for a woman getting older is, don’t be too thin! When you are just muscle, you end up being gaunt in the face, and that makes you look older by 5 or 10 years.

“I don’t think of getting older as looking better or worse; it’s just different. You change, and that’s OK. Life is about change. I don’t have anxiety about it, so I’m not running to get Botox. Maybe that will change, but I don’t think so. I feel comfortable in my skin and comfortable with aging, so I think it’s OK that I get wrinkles.”

Klum, mother of 4 young children all under 7, went on to give another reader “tips for a busy mom on looking fresh”.

“Sleep!” she said. “I get up at 5:30, so I’m exhausted early. I go to bed at 8:30 most nights. Also, before events, I may get a spray tan. I like how it looks, but sometimes I leave gold shimmery marks all over!”

So there you have it, from the words of an experienced supermodel, presenter, business woman, fashion designer, wife and mother, all you need to stay youthful is a few extra pounds, lots of beauty sleep, a good outlook on life, oh, and the occasional spray tan!
