Stunning 61 year old model shares self-care beauty secrets

I just read an inspiring story about how online retailer Dreslyn hired a 61 year old to model swimsuits for their catalog and people were stunned not just by her beauty, but by her natural approach to aging well. She says she has done little other than eat organic food regularly, including a daily avocado, and has always used oil on her hair and sugar scrubs on her skin. Brooke Taylor Corcia, Founder of Dreslyn, decided to choose Malibu, California-based Yasmina Rossi as their model of choice for the collaboration with lingerie house Land of Women because, as she said to Huffington Post, “This is a woman who radiates health and vitality. She’s confident, she’s a visual artist, she takes care of herself...(it's) all about being a person who’s well-lived and well-traveled and has intelligence and confidence, and letting that shine through.”

What is more insightful to me than what Rossi says she does to stay beautiful is what is obvious that she does not do. You can tell in the pictures that she has little to no make-up on. She does not dye or chemically process her hair. I'd bet that she uses as few chemicals as possible on her body, as she states she does for the food she eats by eating organic "long before it was trendy". Her lean and sculpted body prove that she has not taken to abusing herself through food or drug addictions. She has not given in to society's seeming desire for her to remain young-looking forever. Rossi shows courage in a confused industry, and gives me new visions of how to be a gray headed goddess when the time comes.

You have to see the pictures of this 61 year old owning her natural beauty and selling these swimsuits at https://www.boredpanda.com/61-year-old-fashion-model-swimwear-campaign-yasmina-rossi/.  I chose to link boredpanda's article instead of Huffington Post because HuffPost excluded my favorite picture, which is the one where her gray hair perfectly matches the color gradient of a gray horse photographed with her. I honestly thought they had put her next to a unicorn until I did a double-take, because they look so powerful and mystical together. I think we can agree that the real "unicorn" in the pictures is none other than Rossi herself, as she shines her light and shows another option to society's screams of diets and facades. She proves that no matter your age, your beauty comes from loving and taking care of yourself. You are a work of art waiting to be carved from self-care. Your beauty will not come from altering yourself, but by embracing who you naturally are and becoming more and more you!
