7 Things Reese Witherspoon Does To Make 41 Look 21
She's basically her daughter's twin.
When Reese Witherspoon posted a birthday Instagram of 17-year-old daughter, Ava, and 13-year-old son, Deacon, the world took notice. First, because the trio practically looked like triplets. Second, because it reminded everyone that somehow, Witherspoon was old enough to have teenage kids — even though she looks barely legal herself. Clearly, genetics play a hand in this, but it made people wonder: What's her secret? She's got a few, it seems, and none involve sleeping in a cryogenic chamber, a la Austin Powers.
She Gets A Boost From A Very Specific Green Juice.
While working with nutritionist Kim Snyder, Witherspoon became a huge fan of Snyder's Glowing Green Smoothie, which is loaded with spinach, romaine lettuce, celery, an apple, pear, banana, cilantro and parsley. It's basically like starting the day with a massive salad — minus the dressing — and it's loaded with fiber to keep your digestive system running smoothly.
She's All About Getting Stronger.
The Big Little Lies star has been known to go for jogs near her Los Angeles home, and told Women's Health she loves to do hourlong Body By Simone workouts — a combination of dance, strength training, and stretching — a few times a week. "Physical strength is important," she said.
She Gets In Her Greens.
As much as the actress loves sweet tea — it's served to anyone who stops by her store, Draper James — she'll balance out her Southern staples with a hearty salad, or a meal at Kreation Juicery. She's also a big fan of the kale salad and roasted chicken at Adele's in Nashville.
She Stays Zen With Regular Yoga Sessions.
When you're running boutiques, a production company, and starring in HBO series and movies alike — while raising three kids — life can get a little hectic. Witherspoon stays focused (and keeps her arms and abs toned) with regular yoga sessions.
She's Big On Taking Care Of Her Skin.
Remember that graduation speech about always wearing sunscreen? Witherspoon's a believer, stating that if she were stranded on a deserted island, she'd bring that — and plenty of tequila. Jokes aside, the mom of three likes to keep her skin hydrated and protected. Molly R. Stern, Witherspoon's makeup artist, swears by ReVive and Natura Bisse's products. "They're rich with nutrients. They don't clog pores," she told Yahoo. "We get drier as we get older, so keeping the skin moist is important. Beautiful skin equals beautiful makeup."
She Gets In A Caffeine Boost.
Like many of us, Witherspoon enjoys starting the day with a cup of coffee. It's one morning ritual she Instagrams on the regular.
She Saves Her Southern Faves For Special Occasions.
If Witherspoon's throwing a party, she's got a few must-haves: fried chicken, corn salad, and her grandma Dorothea's biscuits are almost always on the menu, according to caterer Annie Campbell.
