Having reigned the ramp during one of fashion’s biggest decades, the 90s, Claudia Schiffer may have started off as an It girl, but today, she’s transcended into something far greater: a timeless beauty who continues to inspire generation after generation of models. While it may seem effortless — and for a large part, it does seem to be so! — the icon has also discovered a few tricks and routines to keep herself feeling and looking her best.
During her conversation with editor-in-chief Manuel Arnaut, Schiffer shared, “Looking back at every birthday, I’m still feeling my best and better than the year before. That’s also to do with the fact that I’ve learned a lot about nutrition, exercise, and meditation. I would like to be my best self at every age, and I feel more confident than ever now, more aware of my priorities and more mindful that life is not forever.”
Not one to fall for passing fads, Claudia Schiffer is a firm believer of the less-is-more lifestyle. “I advocate for natural beauty, and I try to live a very healthy lifestyle, working out and eating healthily,” she elaborated. “If I feel good, I look after myself and to me that radiates a youthful glow.” Her current obsession lies in light therapy. “I read a lot about what does help with aging, and I look out for new things. For example, right now, I’m very excited about infrared saunas and PEMF mats. There’s so much you can explore to prolong your life and feel or even look naturally younger.”
Along with a positive mindset and a few tried-and-tested routines, Schiffer’s go-tos also include ballet, something she tries to give more time to when she’s in England, and a relaxing wellness practice that’s also become a favorite with the likes of Meghan Markle, Kendall Jenner and Charlize Theron. “I try to fit in half an hour in the sound bath, which is something I discovered last summer! It has crystal balls which create sound that massage your cellular system,” she revealed. Time to take notes if you plan on following this supermodel’s graceful footsteps.
