Vera Wang, 75, talks ‘very balanced’ health routine: ‘Minimal’ skincare, Dunkin’ Donuts and lots of sleep
Vera Wang revealed her down-to-earth beauty tips.
The bridal gown designer, who told Page Six Style she is “75-and-a-quarter” years old, said at the DKMS gala on Thursday night that she is very low-key when it comes to skin care.
“I’m pretty minimal, I have to say,” she told us. “Maybe it’s because I’m Asian, but I’ve always been pretty minimal.”
“Soap, some cleanser, but I don’t do 18 steps! I know that’s the thing to do now, but it’s never been a part of my regime,” she added.
She also keeps an even keel attitude when it comes to aging. “I don’t know what 75 should feel like, I don’t feel like I did when I was 20,” she said.
“I’m sort of very balanced in terms of my health, hopefully,” Want added. “I work very hard at that. Towards mental health as well as physical health, so those are important things.”
Wang has garnered attention in the last few years for her edgy outfits and bikini snaps with people jokingly accusing her of “aging backwards.”
Unlike other high-powered celebs who boast of getting by on little sleep, Wang stresses that shut-eye is “very important.
“Minimum, eight (hours a night). I don’t feel healthy unless I get eight,” she told us.
And Wang is also refreshingly relaxed when it comes to her diet, which she previously boasted included fast food, doughnuts and vodka.
“I have my own vodka [line] and I don’t do Dunkin’ Donuts every day, but I’m not that rigid about food period,” she explained.
That also includes occasional Big Macs in the office.
“I think (I like it because) it’s simple,” she elaborated. “I don’t have to to think about it and I think if you’re very very busy and you have a very full schedule, there are certain things during the day [you can have] that are just easier.
I wouldn’t say donuts every day, but I love Dunkin’ Donuts. It’s very American, that’s how I feel.”
Wang attended the gala with her daughters, Josephine and Ceclia, where she was honored.
The evening raised $4.7 million for global work against blood cancer.
