There's so much the world can learn from this role model! Keep reading to learn why we deserve to love our bodies at any age!
The Corsica native was busy raising two children when a chance opportunity opened many doors.
Her sister asked her to replace a model at the last minute at Paris Fashion Week, which soon led to her working with various fashion designers.
But the model, who found her first gray hair at 11, never thought about dying it.
“I’m passionate about what I’m doing. I have no time,” she told The Guardian. “It’s beautiful. It’s silver!” She added that she refused a lot of money to dye it.
“On the contrary, I was quite proud to stand on what was right for me despite the critics and this has always been like this all my life, a great asset in fact when I started modeling," she told Bright Side.
She also gained a lot of inner confidence by refusing to conform to the industry's standard beauty norms.
"Money has never been the thing that would make me do things that felt wrong for me to do," she said.
Her Instagram account, @yazemeenah, currently has over 319k followers.
There, she shares gorgeous shots from photoshoots, as well as shots of her hanging out in nature, one of her favorite places to be.
As such, her skin and eating habits tend to be as natural as possible. No wonder she looks so youthful!
She uses fresh organic products for food and for her beauty oils (she likes to rub olive oil on her skin and rapeseed into her hair).
"Most of the time, I eat organic food and cook it fresh every day. I eat mostly vegetables, fruits, nuts and some good-quality fish and meats," she said. Along with this, she prioritizes lots of sleep and water.
She told The Guardian that she has actually refused plastic surgery, aside from having minor facial injections to erase blood vessels.
“Take advantage of how you are,” she said. “Do not destroy your capital.” Another beauty secret lies in her exercise routine.
She likes being in tune with her body. She told Sweaty Betty that she'll spend between 30 minutes and an hour doing it each day. All in all, her secret to a healthy lifestyle is staying balanced.
She never glorified youth, which means redefining the world "beauty" to apply to any age.
"We are all different ages and sizes and that’s the beauty of it. We’re real women," she told the Daily Mail.
