Gwyneth Paltrow turned heads this Christmas as she showed off her incredible figure in a skimpy bikini in Barbados. The mum-of-two, who turned 50 in October, hit the beach for some festive fun with her family and looked effortlessly gorgeous as she strolled along the sand after a quick dip, the Mirror reports.
The blonde beauty went makeup free in her floral two-piece bikini as she soaked up the sun with her husband Brad Falchuk - who she married in 2018 - along with daughter Apple, 18, whom she co-parents with Coldplay's Chris Martin. The teenager also looked like she was having a blast as she was seen holding a pink snorkelling mash to explore beneath the crystal blue waters.
GOOP founder and American actress Gwyneth is known for looking after her appearance as she regularly gives fans exercise advice and healthy eating tips. The businesswoman has managed to maintain her stunning looks for years as she celebrated the milestone with a luxurious trip to Italy.
The star shared some pictures from the lavish getaway with Brad on her Instagram, including a make-up free selfie and some snaps of some mouth watering food delicacies she enjoyed while on vacation. Gwyneth has shared some of her secrets in the past about how she looks so good at 50 as she explains that a minimal approach towards beauty and fitness works best for her.
The actress revealed one of her biggest credits to her youthful appearance is professional facials as she reveals: "I've always been pretty consistent. Like I've always kind of been minimal."We have a really strong peel pad that I do once a week. Then we have the microderm exfoliator, which is awesome.
"And then we have the new jelly cleanser, which is much lighter," she said. Gwyneth also rocked up some controversy in the beauty world when she confessed she doesn't wear SPF.
Instead of covering herself in sun cream from 'head to toe' to protect her skin she only puts a bit on her nose 'where the sun really hits'. The mother, originally from Los Angeles, said she believes there are 'harsh chemicals' in 'conventional sunscreen' in her disputed beauty tutorial video as she states she prefers to use a 'clean mineral sunscreen'.
The Goop founder also includes her very minimalistic approaches in her fitness regime as she claims she has been doing the same workout for fifteen years. Gwyneth follows the methods of celebrity personal trainer Tracy Anderson who has worked alongside the likes of Victoria Beckham and Madonna.
Tracy's workouts include dance cardio and small weights and she also does not speak to her clients during sessions as she expects them to just simply mimic her moves instead. Gwyneth showed off her toned figure at the beach alongside her daughter Apple who she was spending some time with her eldest daughter who headed off for university in the Autumn this year.
The mum opened up about her close bond with her daughter as she described dropping her at college as 'truly horrifying'. The emotional star said: "I was sick to my stomach, bursting into tears."
Gwyneth who had a great relationship with her kids Apple and Moses, 16, paid tribute to them in a birthday speech this year as she exclaimed that 'they are the greatest accomplishment of my life'.
