Kelly Ripa has been a favourite of ours for quite some time now! We've loved her during her time on 'All My Children', 'Hope & Faith' and 'Ed', however, nothing beats watching her and co-host Ryan Seacrest every morning on 'Live! With Kelly & Ryan'.
The star has been in the spotlight for as long as we can remember and has not gone a day without looking as stunning as she does. If there is someone who consistently shows up looking radiant, it is without a doubt, Kelly Ripa.
The star has revealed a number of beauty practices that she follows in order to stay looking and feeling young, which include lots of exercise, deliciously healthy foods, and some products that you should definitely get your hands on as soon as possible. Here are 15 things Kelly Ripa does to look so young!
15 She Gets Her Hair Done Often
While it can certainly be easy to assume that all celebrities, including Kelly Ripa, simply wake up looking as amazing as they do, that is simply not the case. Kelly Ripa always looks her best, and her signature blonde hairstyle never fails to amaze us, however, she's got a little help in that department!
14 Water, Water And More Water
Kelly Ripa certainly likes to enjoy waterfront activities, however, she enjoys drinking water more! The star cannot stress drinking water to keep your skin, and body hydrated and looking refreshed. While Kelly didn't share just how much she's taking in, we can imagine it's slightly more than the recommended 8 glasses of 8 ounces per day.
13 She Keeps Herself Energized
When it comes to keeping her body in shape, Kelly Ripa does not fall short of doing just that. The 'Live With Kelly & Ryan' host revealed that she participates in anywhere between 4 - 6 workouts per week with a personal trainer, partakes in dance classes, yoga and any other physical activity that will keep her energized throughout the week.
12 She Loves To Do Soul Cycle
In addition to the countless workout she performs every week, Kelly Ripa is also an avid participant of Soul Cycle. The Manhattan resident endures Soul Cycle a handful of times a month, and you better believe she drags her hubby, Mark Consuelos, and best friend, Andy Cohen down with her!
11 She Eats Lots Of Fruits And Vegetables
Eating well is yet another sure way to keep yourself feeling and looking your best. When it comes to Kelly Ripa's diet, she incorporates the least amount of junk and processed foods and enjoys as many fruits and veggies that she can get her hands on. The TV personality discussed her eating habits often on her talk show, and you bet that fruits and vegetables play a major role in her kitchen.
10 She Has A Very Happy Marriage
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos said their "I do's", way back in 1996, meaning they have been married for nearly 25 years! While that is quite uncommon amongst Hollywood celebs, Kelly Ripa claims that they do everything and anything they can to make their marriage work, and it's been successful so far! Having a happy relationship definitely affects your mind, body and soul, so luckily for Ripa, she's got nothing to worry about.
9 She Keeps Her Sweets In Check
While Kelly Ripa does, in fact, love herself some sugary desserts such as cake, pie and ice cream, she knows how to eat it all in moderation. She definitely does not deprive herself of sugary sweets but chooses to incorporate them every so often so that she isn't craving them all the time.
8 She Is No Stranger To Botox
When you are as rich and famous as Kelly Ripa, you bet that you're going to go the extra mile to remain looking and feeling young for as long as possible, and sometimes that means a little botox! Kelly is no stranger to the cosmetic procedure, and has even gotten it done by Dr. Robert Anolik on her show 'Live! With Kelly & Ryan".
7 She Follows A Very High Alkaline Diet
As mentioned, Kelly Ripa follows a pretty strict diet, however, the star revealed that when it comes to what types of foods she eats, she prefers to stick to more alkaline foods. When it comes to your diet, you can eat foods high in acid, foods that are more neutral, or foods that are more alkaline, such as fruit, veggies, legumes and nuts, which is what Kelly Ripa is all about.
6 Sleep Is Not Such A Priority
It appears sleep is the one thing that Kelly Ripa does not need in order to stay as beautiful as she is. The star revealed that she only gets on average about 5 hours of sleep per night! While the recommended number is closer to 7 or 8 hours per night, the talk show host claims that 5 hours is all that she needs.
5 Family Time Soothes Her Soul
Family is one of the most important things when it comes to both Kelly Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos. Ripa has a lot of very diligent house rules and keeps her family in check, however, there is nothing she cherishes more, and when it comes to staying young, and feeling good, family time is the best way to achieve just that.
4 She Keeps Her Teeth Looking Fresh
When you are on television just about every single day, looking your best is a given, however, Kelly Ripa goes the extra mile and ensures that she smile is up to par with everything else. The star claims that she uses 'Supersmile' products to keep her teeth looking as fresh and white as possible.
3 She Does Alcohol Detoxes
Kelly Ripa loves herself a good cocktail or two, but the talk show host has revealed that she performs alcohol detoxes for months at a time in order to remain looking and feeling young. Alcohol can be extremely dehydrating and can increase the ageing process by quite a lot, so Kelly seems to be onto something with these detoxes.
2 She Has A Complete Glam Team
Despite looking as good as she does, we as the public often forget that celebrities have the means to hire a team of makeup and hair artists, stylists, manicurists, and masseuses to make them look as good as they do. She certainly does not get out of bed looking glam, so having a whole team to do it for her is definitely a plus.
1 Sunscreen Is Also A Huge Must
Considering Kelly Ripa loves vacationing under the sun, she cannot stress the importance of sunscreen enough! Wearing sunscreen not only decreases your chances of skin cancer, but it prevents fine lines, wrinkles, and sunspots from forming. If you're hoping to delay wrinkles for as long as possible, start wearing sunscreen every single day starting now.
