SKIN CARE ROUTINE
Who says beauty fades with age? Certainly not Carmen del Orifice, the world's oldest supermodel.
At over 90 years old, she still boasts clear and soft skin that women half her age would envy.
While she openly admits to having enhanced her God-given bone structure with regular silicone
injections for decades, and undergone a fearsome-sounding, medical dermabrasion,
almost 50 years ago to banish wrinkles and sun damage, Carmen swears by her daily
skin care routine to maintain her timeless beauty. Her secret? Moisturize, moisturize,
moisturize. According to Carmen, she moisturizes her skin with anything that comes to hand.
But that's not all, Carmen also knows the importance of sunscreen in keeping skin looking
youthful. Sunscreen is recommended for skin cancer prevention as well as for warding off
aging effects, according to Harvard Medical School. Another groundbreaking study shows that
those who use broad-spectrum sunscreen on a daily basis experience 24% less skin aging than ones who
use sunscreen only intermittently. The study, published in the Influential Annals of Internal
Medicine, followed more than 900 people over a four-year period. It found that even participants
who started daily sunscreen applications in their 40s and 50s showed reduced signs of skin aging.
Carmen also keeps her makeup routine to a minimum, using it only for industry events and photo
shoots. According to Dr. Green, makeup itself doesn't age your skin but certain ingredients
in makeup have the potential to build up on your skin, which can effectively trap oils and sweat
beneath them. This results in skin to appear dull and uneven, making the skin look aged.
For Carmen del Orificio, she avoids makeup altogether when she is not in professional
engagements. She wants her skin to breathe and her pores to be free.
Diet Routine. Carmen del Orificio has always been a vision of beauty, standing tall at 5 feet 11
inches or 180 centimeters, and her slim figure is just as stunning at the age of 91 as it was when
she first started modeling. Despite what you may think, Carmen doesn't follow a strict diet regime
or count calories. Instead, she eats to her appetite and loves both eating and cooking.
Her creativity when it comes to food is inspiring. For example, if she doesn't like watery spinach,
she braises it herself or eats it raw. But, for those of you who want to know her secret,
she always starts her day by drinking water with lemon juice and eats plenty of probiotic yogurt.
Water is the most important intake for Carmen, and she drinks ample amounts of it. She always
has water by her side whenever she exercises, which we will be discussing in more detail in
this video. And for those who have a sweet tooth, you'll be happy to know that Carmen loves her ice
cream too. While she does not binge eat, she always keeps plenty of ice cream in her freezer,
just in case. It gives her a feeling of security, and as she puts it,
one would think clothes would do it for me, but no, it's ice cream. Stay tuned to learn more about
Carmen's exercise routine, which helps her maintain her stunning figure at the age of 91.
Exercise Routine Each Morning. Carmen notes that she metabolizes food well.
She sure does have great height, but studies show that from the age of 60s,
the metabolism starts to decline, not before. So, how does she tackle a potential decreased
level of metabolism? Carmen takes gentle care of her body with a regular walking routine that
she enjoys with friends. Walking for just 30 minutes every day helps her maintain overall
health, increase cardiovascular fitness, strengthen bones, reduce excess body fat,
and boost muscle power and endurance. No special equipment or training is required for walking,
and it's free. Carmen also practices gentle exercises that she loves, stretching and
breathing to become more aware of her body's needs. As she stretches, she tunes into her
body's needs, even if it's as simple as opening her eyes. She's discovered that opening her eyes
can be an exercise in mindfulness, allowing her to listen to her body and avoid injury as she ages.
As part of her daily morning stretching routine, she rolls to see how her hips feel.
She bends her knees, and does a few leg-ups. She ensures to take care of every corner of
her body by saying hello to the different parts of her body. While doing these stretches,
she also always has a bottle of water at the bedside. After a thorough stretch in her bed,
she drinks water because her throat is dry and if her eyes feel dry,
she knows she is not drinking enough fluid in general. With the way she approaches things and
listens to her body, she doesn't have to go out and buy salves or eye drops. After that,
she shares that she puts the tea kettle on, sets her $19 radio to good jazz, and jumps on the
indoor bicycle until the kettle boils. While this morning routine is a fixture, she is flexible
about it. Gently stretching her body, she becomes self-aware in what she chooses to do and what she
ends up doing. And then she observes what worked and what didn't work, which can change as can
every cell in the body. If she is having trouble with any part of her body that needs an on-the-spot
decision, then she doesn't stick to the routine because then it becomes counterproductive to what
the body needs at that given moment. Carmen's approach to aging is refreshing, reminding us
that we can still enjoy life and take care of ourselves as we grow older. By listening to our
bodies and being flexible with our routines, we can maintain a healthy lifestyle and age gracefully
like Carmen. Breathing Exercise. While conducting her stretching routine, Carmen incorporates
breathing exercises into her daily practice. In today's fast-paced world, it can be challenging
to slow down and pay attention. However, Carmen refuses to succumb to pressure. She values her
individuality and cannot deliver her best self if she's following someone else's regime. To ensure
she stays relaxed, Carmen has mastered techniques to manage stress. With over 70 years of experience
in her career, she understands the importance of a healthy mind and body connection. Carmen knows
that when her body feels better, her brain feels better too. She has a strong bond with her brain,
which helps her override pain and control anxiety. Instead of panicking, she takes deep breaths,
relaxes, and focuses on what she needs to do. Carmen also believes in preparation and research
before diving into unknown environments. It's no surprise that she remains a highly sought-after
model in the fashion industry. In addition to her stress-reducing techniques, Carmen enjoys
hobbies that bring her joy and relaxation. Sewing is a passion of hers, inherited from her
accomplished seamstress mother. Together, they made clothes and earned extra money when Carmen
was young as they were poor. She also loves photography, finding inspiration in the beauty
of the world around her. These hobbies help her unwind and provide a sense of fulfillment
beyond her professional career. Good S Life, Love Life. This was part of my life early on. I would
She openly discussed her views on intimacy. When asked if she still engages in intimacy,
she confidently replied in a video, Of course, why would I give that up? To Carmen, intimacy is
like maintaining a Rolls Royce. You must occasionally turn on the motor to keep it
running smoothly so that when you want to drive the car, it's ready to go. Carmen believes that
people often enter intimacy through the wrong doorway, and as a result, they give it up later
in life. Society tells us not to engage in it, but Carmen believes that we're just undersatisfied.
Intimacy should be as natural as breathing, according to her. Carmen emphasizes the
importance of relationships, and intimacy is an essential part of it, as it can add richness and
excitement to one's life. It can be like a wonderful wave that starts way out in the ocean
and then finally hits on shore and is fabulous, she explains. Carmen has always been one to have
crushes and claims to have a love interest to this day. I love my relationships, and I don't
have a set idea of what they should be, she says. I live out what is there, the dance of need, daily,
weekly, yearly, if it's geographically possible. In almost everything in life, less is more except
love. In regards to love, Carmen has discovered that it's not limited to just romantic love with
a partner. She has come to realize that love is not the narrow thing she once thought it was.
If you can find it all in one lovely person with marriage and intimacy and lust, that is fabulous,
and she says she came pretty close with her last husband. Now she realized that you can find your
soulmate in friendship, too. Throughout this video, we've explored Carmen's five secrets to
maintaining her youth, health, and beauty. Her optimistic take on skincare, diet, exercise,
and keeping her relationships alive have all contributed to her longevity.
When asked about retirement, Carmen simply responds, no, and explains that she wants to
enjoy every day of her life and work as a part of that. If you're interested in adopting her
