Cindy Crawford Stuns on Ladies' Home Journal, Talks Botox, Cellulite

Even a supermodel like Cindy Crawford is powerless in the fight against Mother Nature -- the brunette beauty reveals that she has cellulite and tried Botox!

"If I put on a few pounds it goes straight to my butt," the still-gorgeous 44-year-old beauty tells the August issue of Ladies' Home Journal. "I risk a picture in the National Enquirer with the headline, 'Cindy Does Cellulite!' Well, I do have cellulite."

At the height of her career, the DeKalb, Ill., native exercised for two hours a day, six days a week, but has since scaled back.

"I put pressure on myself because I have that Midwestern work ethic, but it never felt unhealthy," says the runway legend, who now hits the gym three times a week for one hour, doing a combo of stretches, cardio, squats, steps, and lunges.

Though the married mother of two adheres to a mostly Mediterranean diet of fruits and veggies, whole grains, and proteins like meat and fish, she does allow herself to indulge in favorites like dark chocolate and pizza.


"If the kids want to go for ice cream, I'll get ice cream, too," says Crawford, who was photographed for the magazine looking Malibu beautiful in beachy hair and a pale slip dress. "I don't want my daughter to think that being a beautiful woman is about depriving yourself. She sees me exercising. She sees me eating right. I want to be a good example for her."

That includes not hiding the fact that she has had a little help in maintaining her youthful glow. "When I was 30 I might have said, 'I'm just going to age in a way that honors time and is completely natural,' but I'm no longer so highbrow about it," says the entrepreneur, who uses sunscreen, moisturizer, and an anti-aging night cream regularly, and has skin-care lines at Sephora and on QVC.

"I've tried Botox but it scares me," she continues. "Plastic surgery is really scary, but as long as you don't use these things to change your face, I think it's OK." Ultimately, "I don't expect to look the way that I used to," says Crawford, "because at best that would be deeply frustrating."

She had botox but it scared her - lol

She admitted to having 10-12 years of botox starting at the AGE of 30. It took her 10 years before she admitted it because she stated it was her Meaningful Beauty Product and Lifestyle that kept her skin wrinkle free.

I don't know if she thinks the public is stupid. LOL

This picture is so photoshopped. I recently so a picture of her at a waterpark and she was not nearly as thin.

In addition, she looks manly in the face.

Hey look at me I type in all caps to try and convey my heightened energy and to try to make what I'm saying look more important! Oh I also end my rant with a question to Cindy Crawford as if shes actually taking the time to read my post! Wow I have such a miserable life! Darn!

She has a really healthy attitude, I think. The diet is important - nothing processed, no dairy products. I used to be "highbrow" about plastic surgery, too, but then I hit 50 and gravity took its course. Now I'm not so sure I won't try it.

By the way, ALL women have cellulite. Even skinny ones. Just accept it, ladies! Our skin is different from men's.

Cindy Crawford is a big phoney. She had years of botox which she admitted in 2006.

Look up: "Cindy Crawford admits to Plastic Surgery".

She is going to freak out when she hits the BIG 50. A women's body totally changes through Menopause. No matter how much your exercise, diet ect your skin changes, your weight goes right to your stomache ect. I looked great until 50. that is when the real challenge starts when you are a women.

Age 50 seems to be the magic age for women when things get really challenging. Everything falls apart in the looks department.

Beauty is a Curse. When a women starts to lose it they freak out and go to Botox ect.

Cindy lost her famous look through her 11 years of plastic surgery which she admitted in 2006.

this picture is so photoshopped. They made her look approximately 50 pounds lighter. I agree though her face looks manly. Maybe it is all her plastic surgery over the years.

She will really find it challenging when she hits 50. When a women goes through your changes your body and skin goes to hell. She better enjoy her last 5 years.

Menopause is no fun for a women. Your body changes and the weight goes on. it becomes very challenging regardless of how much you exercise and diet. I held my own in my 40's and always was trim and fit. 50 seems to be the magic number for women when their bodies change.

We all age ...or look "aged" at different timelines.
The same as needng Bifocals. Most need them around 42. was fortunate, but dd need them at 52.

If had my choce, would be happy to be the way I was between 48 and 54.

I'm older than that now...but, as Oprah wll attest...."the puzzle pieces move around" LOL!!!!

And that does not mean putting on weght!

A pretty, natural face, will let the real inner sunshine show!


Pick up any magazine, and you wll see a proliferation of plastic surgery ads. And Botox etc.

Who knows who or what anyone looks like anymore!
