On Monday, July 28, the supermodel, 60, shared two photos of herself in an empowering Instagram post that accompanied her thoughts on aging gracefully. In the first snap, she appeared fresh-faced in a white bikini while posing on a beach bed, while the second image showed her in a dimly lit bathroom.
'This is me. Vacation, pretty light, posing for a shot,' she wrote in the caption of the post, referring to the first photo.
Speaking about the second snap, she added, 'This is also me. Home, not great light, not posing. This is 60.'
Porizkova revealed that throughout the years, she hasn't followed a perfect regimen but has learned many lessons.
'This is 60 years of sometimes healthy eating, sometimes not,' she continued in the caption of the post. '60 years of sometimes working out, sometimes not. 60 years of doing the right things followed by doing the wrong things and over again and again."
'It's 60 years of learning of what works and what doesn't,' Porizkova said. 'And just as I think I've figured it out, everything changes and I have to start again."
'The beauty of 60 is that now I understand the importance is IN the lesson, not passing the exam,' she concluded.
Porizkova added several hashtags to the post that confirmed she wasn't wearing makeup in the photos and that they were both posted without a filter.

Since reaching the milestone age in April, the Swedish Estee Lauder spokesperson has repeatedly spoken candidly about her thoughts on aging.
'We're so terrified of wrinkles because I suppose wrinkles make us no longer relevant, no longer sexy, no longer desirable, and as women, that has been sort of our calling card — it's tagged with us for such a long time,' she said on the TODAY show in January.
'And I keep looking at wrinkles — mine, yours, any woman that I see — and I think, 'It's your map of life,'' she continued. 'I see how you are as a person. Why would you want to erase it?'
Despite having helped to sell a 'vision of beauty inextricably linked to youth' in her early career, Porizkova has revealed another upside to aging.
'The best part is you finally turn into the person that you were meant to be all along. And perhaps that's not always a happy finding,' she told Harper's Bazaar in April.
'But I think if you try to live your life with an understanding that other people matter, that connections matter, and that love matters, then you won't be disappointed with who that person is that you truly are,' Porizkova added.

"As soon as you start filtering yourself or auto-tuning your photos and stuff, well then, it's not really all that authentic anymore," she said. 'I feel a responsibility to put myself out there as I am."
