Adriana Lima‘s Beauty Secrets

-By Zino Ostendorf

Brazilian beauty, Victoria’s Secret Angel, topmodel, mother. Adriana (born June 12, 1981) has one of the most beautiful faces in the world in my opinion. Modelling since age fifteen, this superstar has impressed the world with her looks and gathered world fame. She’s one of the top 5 highest paid models in the world. In the video Adriana Lima tells you her secrets.

She explains that to get in optimal shape she has a one month routine in which she does a lot of cardio. Boxing is her favorite sport. And jumping rope is of course common at boxing, but for cardio alone it is very effective as well. 10 minutes burn the same calories as 35 minutes of running. Jumping rope burns 1000 calories an hour, it’s that intense.

For a balanced diet she cuts out carbs and sugar, claiming to only eat proteins. Before you are going to mimic such a thing, make sure you still get the right, and enough, nutrients. Adriana has expert dietists of course and I personally believe you shouldn’t cut out all carbs.

The next step to looking good is a nice tan. She uses a bronzer which is responsible for her ‘glow’, business woman as she is advertising a little along the way.

Lips, lashes and cheeks. Black mascara is the best for those sexy long lashes. A bronzer for the cheeks and for the lips a shimmery gloss. I can not argue with her. Also body lotion to keep the skin soft and glowy and good shampoo and conditioner for shiny healthy hair.

While Adriana tells everything she does, it bothers me that so many people say it is just genes. It is not just genes. In her case, her extraordinary mix of Portuguese / French / Native-American / Caribbean blood worked out beautifully and makes here stand out of the croud, BUT only because she also works really hard for it. She’s is a fanatic boxer, training hours and hours to keep that figure runway ready. Don’t forget she’s in her thirties and she’s a mom. I know it sounds a little defensive, but that’s because I have a little crush on her =)
