"When I started to have kids, I tried to be as healthy as possible, and by doing so I feel my best today in my body and in myself overall," she explained to Vogue Australia.

"I work out by doing something different every day, from tennis or a yoga class, to a 15-minute abs class online or walking on the treadmill for an hour while watching a movie." As for her diet, Claudia eats locally grown organic produce and likes to treat herself to chocolate and wine every once in a while.

Stickler for skincare

The blonde beauty shared with the publication that focusing on skincare had allowed her to maintain her youthful visage for so long.

"I have a busy schedule, whether it's work, being a mom or spending time with my husband, so my morning and evening skincare routines are two of the few times in a day that I have to myself," she said.

Claudia takes her skincare very seriously

"It's really important to take time for yourself for your mental health and wellbeing, but also the key to having good skin and slowing the signs of aging."

She continued: "Having spent years on photoshoots with make-up being taken on and off, I learned from a young age how important it is to take care of your skin. I've always been rigorous about cleansing and using natural skincare products that nourish and fortify your skin, which is why, as I turn 50, my skin feels better than ever."

She opened up about the important of aging gracefully

Claudia has been open about aging in the spotlight and thinks that aging should be praised, not feared. "I think age should be celebrated and revered. There's a reason we have cakes and parties on our birthdays, and I feel the same way about getting older each year," she told Vogue Australia.

"I am so happy to be turning 50 and have never felt more confident or happy in my life. I don't try to look or feel younger; I embrace now. If you're happy and healthy, the rest will follow."
