She’s the Australian supermodel known for her flawless bikini body, which helped her earn the nickname ‘The Body’.
And Elle Macpherson, who still looks incredible at 52, has revealed her biggest secret to maintaining her age defying aesthetic.
The mother-of-two wrote on Instagram on Saturday, that she credits her youthful looks to following a strict alkaline diet as she admitted she can no longer just “rely on genetics.”
“They ask me the smart way to age. When I was younger, I was able to rely on genetics,” she wrote. “Today at 52, I need to make conscious choices that support my body for optimum health, vitality and beauty from the inside out.”
Macpherson explained that her youthful exterior is harder to maintain the older she gets, but said alkaline supplements have helped her fight the aging process.
“That’s why we started Welleco @superelixir to share these amazing bio-live plant-based supplements that are part of my everyday,” she said. “Living alkaline with our Alkalising Greens has left my body feeling lighter, cleaner and far more energy.”
The Britain and Ireland’s Next Top Model host previously admitted to WHO that she prefers to shun cosmetics altogether, explaining, “I don’t wear make-up at all.
“That’s why there are so many pictures of me with sunglasses on! Honestly, I don’t love the look of my skin bare, but I feel it’s best for it.
“I want to experiment with trends, but as I’ve become wiser, I’ve realized that less is more,” she said.
Macpherson also admitted she isn’t a fan of cosmetic surgery, and instead prefers to fight the aging process with diet and exercise.
“Of course I think about lines. There have been times in my life when I have tried really hard to get rid of them [like with fillers], and it doesn’t work. So I tend to leave all that alone as much as possible.
“Ultimately I think nutrition, sleep, love, laughter and water is the most magical recipe for a beautiful face,” she said.
