What type of music do you

like to listen to when you’re

working out?

Beyoncé, Crazy In Love! Her

tracks remind me of being out

with the girls and dancing the

night away.

What’s your

regular

fitness

regime?

I normally just

walk my dog

a lot with my

mum and her

dog. Then,

if I’m getting

ready for a

holiday, I’ll go

to the gym a

little more often to do a

light jog and weights.

What’s your favourite

gym class?

I don’t really do

classes, because

I can get a little

shy. I actually

really enjoyed

the yoga classes,

which we did

recently at my

Wellness Retreat

[which she runs

with James Lock in

Marrakech]. I think

it’s so important

not to forget

about your mind

when exercising,

and yoga helps

me stay super positive.

Maybe I should find a

class in Essex.

What gym class

would you steer

clear of?

I wouldn’t want to do

a spin class – I think

my legs would fall off!

Who do you

exercise with?

I like to exercise

alone so I can be

super focused – sometimes

I pop Netflix on my phone

when I’m doing cardio. If I

need a little extra motivation

I will book in with my PT, who

really whips me into shape.

Has your

view on

body image

changed

since being

on TOWIE?

No, I’ve

always been

pretty body

confident

• it’s tricky
  leading
  a healthy
  lifestyle when
  filming, but you just
  need to find a routine
  that suits you, and just
  make sure you fuel
  your body to stay
  happy and healthy.

What’s your

signature dish

to cook?

A roast dinner.

My biggest tip is

to try garlic and

parmesan on your

green beans – it’s

a game changer!

You’re an

ambassador

for Norvell

Tanning...

I always feel

super confident

with a tan! This is the

first fake tan that I’ve

ever used – there’s

no bad smell and the

colour suits my skin so

well. I love that as an

ambassador I’ve been

able to introduce

my girlfriends to

the products.

JENNIFERANISTON
SKINSECRETAVOCADO
Jennifer likes to put her body
through its paces with full-on
morning workouts. After an
intense session, the star refuels
with poached eggs,
toast and avocado.
Avocado needs
to be eaten in
moderation
as it is high
in fat, but it’s
excellent for
skin health.

THE EXPERT’S VERDICT:

Nutritionist and author of Natural

Alternatives To Sugar Dr Marilyn

Glenville explains: ‘Avocado

is a very good source of vitamin E,

which is thought to have

several roles in skin health.

It also helps to protect

the skin from UV

rays, and has anti-

inflammatory

activity in the skin,

deterring skin

rashes, blemishes

and acne.’

CAMERONDIAZ

SKINSECRETOATS

In her younger days, Cameron

suffered from acne. She says:

‘While I was eating burgers

and burritos and onion rings

and French fries and sodas,

I had the worst skin. I mean,

I had terrible, terrible skin. I

tried to cover it with make-

up and I tried to get rid of it

with medication.’ She

found out that the only thing

that worked was overhauling

her diet and getting enough

exercise, and says her favourite

meal is savoury oatmeal.

THE EXPERT’S VERDICT: Some

studies have found that a zinc

deficiency could lead to acne,

so Cameron’s favourite meal

of oats is a good option.

Oats are rich in zinc, which

Mandi Nyambi recommends

as one of her top must-haves

for great skin. Dr Marilyn

Glenville says: ‘Oats are a

particularly rich source of

biotin, a vitamin that is

well-known for its role in

the health of our skin and

hair. Plus, they are an anti-

ageing food, packed full

of antioxidants.’
