Stefani, an American musician, co-founded, and served as the lead vocalist and primary songwriter of the band No Doubt, known for hits like 'Don't Speak' and 'Just a Girl'.
She has also achieved remarkable success as a solo artist, with six singles, including 'Hollaback Girl' and 'What You Waiting For?', topping the Billboard Hot 100.
Outside of music, Stefani has ventured into the cosmetics industry with her makeup brand GXVE (pronounced give), drawing admiration from thousands who seek to replicate her stunning appearance.
Fans have long been curious about how the 'Rich Girl' singer manages to maintain her youthful looks despite the passage of time since the start of her music career.
At 54 years old, Stefani has divulged all her secrets.
Many of which you can easily adopt at home, including some unexpected lifestyle choices.
Let's explore them together:
1. Hydration
Stefani credits her seemingly flawless skin to her 'skincare secret is hydration'.
In an interview with LVR magazine, discussing her makeup line, the 'Cool' artist explained, "It helps give your skin a youthful, moist glow."
"I just want to look as good as I can at any age, like we all do, and share that quality makeup truly does make a big difference in how you feel. The magic is in the makeup."
This brings us to Stefani's next piece of advice…
2. Overlining the lips
The 54-year-old, renowned for her iconic red lips, fervently endorses overdrawing the lips as it enhances their fullness, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
Speaking to Glamour, Stefani explained, "When you overdraw the top lip like that, you just get this really pouty [look]. You see people hacking it all the time and it works."
However, while the 'Luxurious' singer advocates for this practice, she also cautions against another habit.
3. Never sleep with makeup on
Stefani shared with Forbes: "At bedtime, I always take off my makeup and put moisturizer on."
While this routine may seem like common sense, many individuals have developed the habit of sleeping with makeup on, which can lead to unhygienic consequences.
Leaving makeup on overnight can result in clogged pores, dull skin, dryness, puffy eyes, and overall skin irritation.
Dr. Ash Labib, medical director at AL Aesthetics, explained to Women's Health, "When makeup is left on at night, it penetrates the sub-layers of the dermis."
In an interview with Elle, Stefani disclosed that during her youth, when she was frequently on tour buses, prioritizing the condition of her skin wasn't a top concern.
"The one thing that I have really changed is trying to get all the makeup off. It was hard when I was younger because I was always on a tour bus, literally washing my face with bottled water, inside a bus. But the key is to keep it clean at night. Let your face breathe," she explained.
4. Routine
Maintaining a fabulous appearance around the clock may seem effortless, but Stefani reveals that she does have a routine, albeit a straightforward one.
The 'It's My Life' singer shared with Forbes that her skincare regimen is relatively simple. Her morning routine consists of "a prayer, brushing my teeth, and moisturizing."
She further remarked, "I keep my routine simple and just embrace it and let it be."
Additionally, Stefani ensures to take care of her skin in another crucial way.
5. Sun protection
Stefani reveals that she ceased sunbathing in her twenties, and when speaking to Elle, she confessed that this is the one piece of advice she would impart to her 15-year-old self.
She reflected, "Later in life, you're like 'What is that?!' and it turns out it's from the sun, and you're like, 'Oh, why did I do that to myself?'"
Even if wrinkles aren't a concern, following Stefani's advice and wearing sunscreen daily is still a smart choice.
Sunscreen serves to 'protect your skin against sun damage and skin cancer,' according to the Skin Cancer Foundation.
Johns Hopkins Medicine recommends selecting a sunscreen with 'an SPF of at least 30' and cautions that makeup with SPF alone is insufficient to shield your skin.
6. Diet
Stefani has adhered to a meat-free diet since the age of 12, but this doesn't mean she refrains from indulging occasionally.
Influenced by her father's Italian heritage, The Voice judge grew up enjoying hearty, filling meals.
She shared with Bon Appétit, "We actually eat lasagna. I don't know when that happened. My mom makes lasagna, and she'll prepare one with meat and one with just ricotta cheese. I love that."
Stefani also has a fondness for indulging in pizza, recalling one occasion where she made an enormous order.
"After a Chicago show, we came home with nine seven-pound Chicago deep-dish pizzas and ate a few on the plane. The next day, I had my entire family over, and we devoured the rest of them," she shared.
7. Working out
When Stefani isn't busy working on new music and her other ventures, she manages to make time for exercise and staying fit.
In an interview with Shape, the pop star revealed, "I have no magic thing that I do to stay fit. I eat really clean, do my shows, and work out." She mentioned playing tennis with her husband, Blake Shelton, 47, and they also hit the gym together.
"I like to do squats and lunges and use light weights. I don't go crazy like I used to. I do just enough to make my body feel good," Stefani concluded.
There you have it—unlike many Hollywood stars, it seems you don't need to spend a fortune to adopt Stefani's anti-aging tips.
