Beauty Diary: Sonia Kruger shares age-defying ‘secrets' as she turns 60
Sonia Kruger is about to turn 60 – but it's a fact many of her fans and followers simply can't believe. 'It's actually unbelievable, 60?' declared one fan after her milestone birthday was featured on the cover of Body+Soul recently. 'I can't believe you are turning 60 – you look like you are in your 40s,' remarked another. As one said: 'Oh wow, I had no idea … what an inspiration.' But while the popular TV presenter may appear to be ageing backwards, Kruger says the secret to looking healthy and happy is a lot simpler than you think. 'I think a sense of humour is actually the best kept secret, you've got to be able to have a good laugh with friends and family, because it really is the best medicine,' she tells The Beauty Diary. 'Then I think regular exercise is key. I do weight training and I use Strictly You, my dance fitness app which is great when you're too busy to hit the gym. It's important to have some variety in your exercise routine to keep things interesting. 'I also try to eat well, but I do have a soft spot for licorice bullets, and I must say they also make me very happy.' When it comes to products, The Voice and Dancing with the Stars host does have a few she swears by, revealing she can't live without fake tan. 'I grew up in Queensland and saw a bit too much of the sun when I was young, so for me self-tan is a great alternative,' she explains. 'I love Three Warriors, an all Australian company made with local ingredients like Aloe vera and Tasmanian olive oil. 'It's even certified organic. There are zero nasties in these products and the colour is the best I've found, and I am an experienced self-tanner.' Kruger said her love of tan comes from being professional dancer, joking that back then the colour was 'more than a little orange'. 'My favourite Three Warriors product is the gradual tan that can be used daily as it's the only self-tan product that I find is genuinely really moisturising. 'I also use the Radiant Complexion Serum each night as it's light weight with active ingredients and helps create a buildable glow for the face.' Her 60th birthday also marks her 30th anniversary in showbiz, but when she's not at work, Kruger likes to strip her make-up back. 'My routine has become more about quality over quantity, I like products that are effective and maintain hydration,' she says. 'Years of heavy make up on set means my skin needs a really good break when I am not working, so I tend to keep things pretty simple. 'On weekends I honestly just use a concealer and a tinted moisturiser with some lip gloss and that's really it.' During her recent appearance at The Logies, where Kruger stunned in a custom gold Alin Le' Kal gown, Kruger went all out with a full-blown skincare and make-up routine. 'On the day, we keep some eye gel masks in the fridge and pop them on to reduce any puffiness around the eyes, I also find this adds some extra hydration,' she explains of her pre-event preparation. 'It's truly a marathon, as my hair and make-up need to stay for the long haul, which is why I never skip a setting spray after everything has been applied, it helps make sure everything stays put for as long as possible.' Kruger said she always makes sure she packs a lip balm in her bag as it helps keep her moisturised and extends the colour of her lipstick. The fake tan expert also said she will prep for her fake tan a few days before a major event. 'The day before tanning, I always do a full body exfoliation using Three Warriors Tasmanian sand scrub with Aloe Vera and the exfoliating mitt, this way the skin has the perfect smooth texture and is completely ready for self-tan application,' she reveals. 'When it comes to self- tanning day use the TW brush to buff the tricky spots like hands, feet and ears to ensure a flawless finish. 'What I love about Three Warriors tan is that it doesn't come off on my clothes or my Logies dress.'
