Supermodel Elle Macpherson, 58, declares that beauty is no longer ‘associated with youth’

Elle Macpherson has insisted that health, not youth, is the new standard of beauty. 

The supermodel, 68, writes in her new column for Stellar Magazine that over the past six years, she’s changed her mind about what constitutes looking good. 

‘Beauty was associated with youth, but I had come to learn that beauty is more strongly aligned with wellness,’ she said in Saturday’s opinion piece. 

‘We clarified beauty, reinstating its true nature as soul-deep, not just skin-deep – embracing the charisma, confidence and magnetism that makes people attractive regardless of their outer appearance.’

She added: ‘Ultimately, I’ve learnt that wellness is the new beautiful, health is the new wealth, kindness is the new cool and inner peace is the new success.’ 

Elle, who has been dubbed ‘The Body’ ever since her early days on the runway, previously revealed her health and beauty secrets in a blog post for WelleCo.

In September last year, she said she takes care of her skin and body by juicing up to four times a day, dry body brushing, and following a $1,400 skincare routine from Dr. Barbara Sturm.

The model uses a dry body brush up to three times a week ‘to stimulate circulation and lymphatic drainage, clear my system of any toxins, and exfoliate my body for smooth, soft skin’.

If she has a red carpet or photo shoot coming up, she prepares by juicing up to four times a day, using a mix of vegetables and her Super Elixir greens supplement.

She added: ‘Ultimately, I’ve learnt that wellness is the new beautiful, health is the new wealth, kindness is the new cool and inner peace is the new success’

‘At home, I believe the best facial is what you put inside your body,’ she explained at the time.

Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar Australia in January 2019, Elle said she aims to exercise each day at 6.30am.

‘I’ll either do some yoga or I’ll jump on my bike and ride to the beach for a swim. If I’m on the road, I’ll bring my running shoes and go for a jog or walk – I love to explore any new surroundings and getting outside,’ she said.

Elle, who has covered the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue a record five times, said she usually eats breakfast at 8am.

‘Sometimes it’s a Nourishing Protein smoothie made with hemp milk, half a banana, and one scoop of WelleCo Nourishing Protein in chocolate,’ she revealed.

‘If I want something hot, I’ll have one poached egg on sunflower or wheat-free dark rye bread, oatmeal with agave, or a chia tea pudding soaked in almond milk.’
