There’s no doubt Crawford takes care to live a healthy lifestyle and watches what she puts into her body, which contributes to her stunning appearance. Still, Crawford has a few tricks that she turns to in order to ensure that her skin stays smooth and flawless at all times.

In an interview with InStyle UK, Crawford admitted that she does rely on the services of a cosmetic surgeon. “I’m not going to lie to myself, past a certain age, creams work on the texture of your skin but, in order to restore elasticity, all I can really count on is vitamin injections, botox, and collagen,” Crawford stated.

“I have a very simple, healthy life, which works miracles,” the supermodel said. “I drink a lot of water, watch what I eat, and exercise… but I owe the quality of my skin to my cosmetic surgeon.”

Many celebrities might not be so open about their affinity for cosmetic procedures, but clearly, Crawford has no such hangup and doesn’t mind being open with her fanbase. In doing so, the iconic supermodel could be helping to break down yet another barrier for women.
