For Kate Moss, age is just a number.

The supermodel recently opened up about approaching her 50s, explaining that she's in "denial" about celebrating her milestone birthday in January 2024.

"I'm not turning 50," she cheekily told U.K. newspaper The Times in an interview published Sept. 24, per People. "No. I'm not thinking about it. I do not feel 50."

And while the Cosmoss founder facetiously discussed her thoughts on aging, she was very serious about clarifying her use of cosmetic injectables such as fillers and Botox.

"No comment," she said. "Au naturel. Next [question]." 

Instead, Kate credited her wellness routine for giving her such a youthful spirit. Some of her self-care rituals include charging her crystals and moon-bathing, an Ayurvedic practice that consists of exposing yourself to the light of the moon in order to absorb its lunar energy.

"I put all my crystals on a tray and put them outside in the garden," she explained of her practices. "Just cleansing the crystal, charging the crystals."

In addition, Kate revealed she believes in the power of affirmations.

Some of her mantras include saying, "embrace the unknown" and "trust the universe and it will lead the way."

And while Kate has created a wellness routine that makes her feel good from the inside out, there's one bad habit she can't seem to kick to the curb.

"I still smoke occasionally," she shared, noting she's cut down on cigarettes more than ever before. "I've heard that when you stop, you can really tell [by your skin]. But I haven't stopped...yet."

Of course, there's no denying that whatever Kate is doing in the beauty department is working. After all, she continues to be booked and busy with modeling campaigns and runway shows.

And now, her 20-year-old daughter Lila Moss is following in her footsteps. 

"It's so funny because I copy her outfits consistently," Lila told Vogue in March about her mom being her muse. "I can't steal her shoes, which is devastating. She's a size 6 and I'm a size 5 and it's one of my biggest regrets."
