AN age-defying woman has revealed her biggest secret for maintaining a youthful appearance.
Moon Onyx Starr has been mistaken for being up to two decades younger than her age of 41.
Starr, who lives in London, England, is a self-empowerment expert and motivational speaker with a rapidly growing following on Instagram.
Speaking to The U.S. Sun, she revealed her tips for looking younger.
Starr embraces a holistic approach to beauty as a healthy lifestyle is just as important as quality skincare.
This includes getting enough sleep, eating well, exercising, and cutting out habits that prevent her from feeling her best.
“Most importantly, it is how you feel about yourself that will have the biggest impact,” she said.
“We need to work on our mindset, self-love and self-worth.
“What you focus on expands so ensure you are focusing on your amazing qualities, what you love about the way you look and how you speak to yourself.
“Be kind to yourself, treat yourself with the same love and compassion that you would your best friend.
“If you keep telling yourself you are getting or looking ‘old,’ you will feel that way.
“The way you feel about yourself will affect the way you carry yourself and how you care for yourself.
“You have the power to change your self-perception and the ability to empower yourself to feel and look your best by taking charge of your life, wellness, wellbeing, and self-care.”
Starr said “less is more” when it comes to skincare as she revealed her routine hasn’t got an excessive amount of steps.
“In the morning I will gently wash my face with warm water and will then apply a toner, hyaluronic acid, and moisturizer,” she said.
“SPF is also very important, but I have not yet found one that I swear by.”
Makeup is reserved for special occasions and events to allow her “skin to breathe.”

She keeps her skin dewy throughout the day by using hyaluronic acid.
“Hyaluronic acid is one of my favorites for an added boost of moisture and hydration,” she said.
“I love Evolve Organic Beauty’s Hyaluronic Eye Complex, which I apply under my eyes in the morning after cleansing and toning and before moisturizing.”
She is currently “enjoying” Noni Glow Face Oil in her nighttime routine to nourish and brighten the skin.
“At night, I wash my face with a cleanser then tone and apply a few drops of a face oil such as rosehip oil to my face and neck, gently massaging it into my skin,” she said.
Moon Onyx Starr previously revealed the two beauty brands that “transformed” her skin in her mid-30s.
She said Herbivore Botanicals and Dr. Roebuck have active plant-derived ingredients to rejuvenate the skin.
Her appearance has become more radiant since she made them a staple in her routine.
She also swears by weight lifting to keep her body tight and yoga to improve flexibility.
“Inversions such as headstands can help increase blood circulation, detoxify the body, and boost the lymphatic system,” she added.
