GABRIELLE UNION COVERS WOMEN'S HEALTH MAGAZINE SHARES HER BEAUTY SECRETS

Defying age...For her Women’s Health cover, Gabrielle, 44, shares her beauty secrets, which include lots of water, saying “hell to the no” when warranted, and of course, good old fashion genetics.

“My best anti-aging tip is the ability to say no,” she tells the magazine. “As women we run ourselves ragged saying yes to every freaking thing, whether it’s to our family, spouses or careers. I sleep eight hours a day and don’t let myself stress out. A lot of people call it selfish, but I don’t have any wrinkles.”

Gabrielle went on to note the key role good genes play in the preservation of her looks, saying “Both my parents have aged quite well. 

They have gorgeous skin and I’m blessed to have inherited those traits. Still, I take nothing for granted. I take care of myself because along with these great genes, my family also has a history of diabetes and high blood pressure. These things lead to death and so I eat right and exercise because I want to be as vital as possible in this stage of my life.
