Marisa Tomei, 61, Credits Functional Movement and Sleep for Ageless Appearance
The Oscar-winning actress shared her approach to health and wellness, emphasizing simplicity and nature.
Marisa Tomei, 61, revealed her straightforward philosophy for maintaining a youthful appearance and fitness without adhering to a traditional gym routine. The Oscar-winning actress told People that her wellness strategy prioritizes "functional movement," adequate sleep, and time spent in nature.
"I do exercise, but I tend to favor functional movement, like walking," Tomei stated in the interview published Friday. She also noted the importance of "a lot of sleep" and being outdoors, adding, "I don't even go to the gym."
This approach aligns with her co-founding of the supplement company Terra Mare, which aims to promote simplicity and reduce societal pressure on women to strive for unattainable perfection. "Slowing down, remembering simplicity and letting go of perfectionism," she described as a significant aspect of her life.
Tomei credits her mother for instilling the value of shared meals and family time. "Shared laughter, shared insights, being together and in tune with one another is grounded in science — these are actually things our bodies respond to and lower our stress levels," she explained.
In previous discussions about her lifestyle, Tomei has highlighted the importance of internal health influencing external appearance. "What I eat and how I connect with my body feed my external," she told Vogue in August 2017. Her dietary preferences include "seasonal, local, and organic foods as much as possible, almost all the time."
Her exercise regimen incorporates practices like dance meditation, which she described as a "moving meditation" that helps her feel "at home in my skin." She also mentioned hiking, calisthenics, and yoga as occasional activities, but considers the "inner stuff" to be the cornerstone of her well-being.
For skincare, Tomei has spoken about the benefits of infrared saunas and dry brushing, aiming for her look to be "all about the skin." She also emphasized hydration, consuming a fruit and vegetable-rich shake daily with chlorella tablets, and using skincare products with "organic, biodynamic ingredients."
