Tyra Banks has officially reached the big 5-0. Happy birthday, queen! To celebrate, the model and entrepreneur shared a series of makeup-free selfies on her Instagram, and her skin is seriously flawless. Seriously, this star was looking confident as ever while wearing a fuzzy charcoal robe with her curly hair cascading all around. She also took the moment to share some her wisdom about what turning 50 means to her.

"50. I can’t believe I’ve been on this earth 🌏that many years," she captioned the post. She went on to add that while she has fears about getting older, sharing that "things just aren’t the same anymore. Our bodies. Our energy. Our minds. 🧠," and that she's truly feeling better than ever. "But I gotta say, my mind is FIERCER THAN EVER. Wise, baby."

Tyra also included anecdotes about making pivots in your career later in life, and avoiding getting "stuck."

"You don’t have to stay stuck. You can start off doing one thing, and as the years go by, you switch that ish up. ➰Yeah, I started in the fashion world and did the whole magazine covers, catwalks and couture 💄 thing and more but I have pivoted, baby. Again. You can 2. Can’t stop. Won’t stop. You hear me?!" she wrote. Heck yes, Tyra!!

Of course, this queen got lots of b-day love from her famous friends. Singer Chaka Khan wrote, "WISE AND BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! ENJOY LIFE ( whatever age you are) Have. A BLESSED SOLAR RETURN!!!!!!!!❤️❤️🙌🙌👏👏🔥🔥." Fellow model Iman commented, "Wishing you the happiest of birthdays 💕," while model Beverly Johnson added, "Happy Birthday Day Beauty 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥."

Now, if Tyra's snap has you wondering how she gets such flawless, glowing, pristine skin at 50, you've come to the right place. Women's Health has all the answers for you.

For starters, she's all about the face rollers. "A young friend of mine was like, 'Girl, you got to roll this cold jade thing on your face.' And I'm like, 'It feels good, but what is it doing?'" she shared with PEOPLE.

Plus, she says her soft skin is a product of lots of serious moisturizing. "I'm obsessed with moisture. I'm not afraid of oils. I think my obsession with moisturizing is one of the reasons I've held onto not looking my age," the former America's Next Top Model host shared in an interview Total Beauty. "My mom taught me to lotion every part of my body right after I get out of the shower or out of the bath before your skin dries up. So the buttocks, the boobs, the back, legs... I look like a Cirque du Soleil performer when I'm moisturizing."

Another fave beauty product (that's also super affordable!) is Vaseline. Tyra shared that she's a big fan of this beauty product during an episode of The Tyra Banks Show.


For now, she's also skipping out on plastic surgery to make herself look younger. "I have not had age plastic surgery stuff," Tyra told PEOPLE. "Not against it. I just haven't had it yet. Maybe I'll need a little something, something. But I'm not insecure about it."

On turning 50, Tyra also told the pub, "I look in the mirror and I don't feel 50," she said. "I keep saying I'm 50 as an excuse. When people ask me I say, 'I ain't doing that—I'm 50.' Or, 'I'm just going to tell you what I think because I'm 50.'"

Preach, Tyra!
