If you ask Ellen directly, she’ll probably laugh and say, “I don’t know,” just like she did during an interview with Good Housekeeping. Some might think her youthful glow is tied to her plant-based diet, given that she’s one of Hollywood’s most famous vegans. But Ellen herself has admitted that her switch to veganism at age 50 wasn’t the magic bullet. Instead, she credits her fitness and self-care routine. With a schedule as hectic as hers, it’s no surprise that staying active and prioritizing her well-being are key components of her lifestyle. It’s not just about looking good—it’s about feeling great too.
How Does Ellen Stay Fit Without Boring Workouts?
Now, let’s talk about Ellen’s fitness routine. If you’ve ever watched her show, you know she’s all about having fun, so the idea of her trudging along on a treadmill seems about as likely as her giving up jokes. In an interview with Shape magazine, she revealed her unconventional approach to exercise. “I first started doing power yoga in LA, which really makes no sense. Power yoga? It’s the opposite of what it should be. Yoga is supposed to calm you down!” she joked. Beyond yoga, Ellen also incorporates strength training into her routine, including good old-fashioned crunches. And yes, her furry friends often join in, making her workouts both challenging and hilarious.

Ellen’s Secret to Beautiful Skin: Less Is More
When it comes to skincare, Ellen proves that sometimes the simplest routines are the most effective. Renowned makeup artist Pati Dubroff, who has worked with Ellen on countless campaigns and photoshoots, revealed that the star’s natural glow often speaks for itself. “Ellen’s skin has a natural radiance, so she doesn’t need much makeup,” Dubroff explained. It’s clear that Ellen’s good genes play a big role, but her positive attitude and overall lifestyle also contribute to her flawless complexion.
But Ellen’s best beauty advice might just be her philosophy on happiness. In a CoverGirl campaign, she shared, “Nothing makes you look younger than a smile, and being happy. If you look at babies, they’re always smiling and laughing, and their skin is flawless.” Ellen’s wisdom reminds us that true beauty comes from within, and that joy is one of the best anti-aging remedies out there.
