Helena Christensen is no stranger to head-turning appearances and at the age of 53 she looks and feels better than ever.

The Danish supermodel showcased her unbelievably toned physique on Instagram over the summer when she wore a cute striped, two-piece - but it was her many tattoos which fans couldn't get over.

In the photos, Helena looked natural as she posed in the waves with a beautiful backdrop. One image saw her lifting her arms and placing her hands in her hair, and she showed off her many inkings.

Helena’s arms had a series of tattoos up them from stars, to flowers and numerous other natural-inspired markings. Her fans loved her look, but some of them were left less than impressed. 

"You are amazing. But the tatoo [sic] is too much," wrote one fan, to which Helena quickly commented back: "Thank god there's only 9 of them then."

Helena continues to stun her fans with her modeling

The star is an advocate for coldwater swims, which help keep her young. Explaining the practice, she wrote: "A dip in some cold water boosts oestrogen and testosterone production, adding an edge to fertility and libido. "The benefits of increased libido include more confidence, higher self-esteem, and enhanced mood.

The heart has to pump faster in cold water and the body must work harder to keep everything warm." Helena continued: "Plus so much more, metabolism and immune system boost, burns calories, improves circulation, reduces stress."
