BEST INTERVIEW
BEST SWEAT
I hike, do yoga and cycle now.
They have a cycle and sculpt class
where you lift weights, too. I usu-
ally don’t like weights, but I don’t
mind lifting them when I’ve ale-
ady got my endorphins up.
BEST TRUTH
When you age, you don’t feel old.
People project that you’re old onto
you, but inside you don’t feel it.
BEST TREK
I love to exercise, and I love to
hike. When I hike, I’m conscious
- I make sure to hear the birds,
see the light falling on rocks and
notice plants. I think being
around nature is healthy for your
mental state, and that really
affects what you look like. I find
my day goes better if I go on a
morning hike, and I sleep better
if I go on an evening hike.
BEST HEALTH HACK
Drink a lot of water, and eat a lot
of raw vegetables.
BEST REFLECTION
If I could say anything to my
30-year-old self, I’d tell myself to
stop and take care of myself. I
think you tend to force your way
through difficult situations – I
know I did.
You don’t have a 40-year
career in Hollywood (not
to mention a 30-plus-
year partnership with
L’Oréal) without learning
a thing or two about
taking care of yourself.
We chatted with actress
Andie MacDowell about
the wisdom she’s gained
in show biz and beyond.
