Tracee Ellis Ross took to Instagram to post a video of all of her secrets towards looking youthful in your 50s. As is typical of Tracee Ellis Ross, she decided to take it in a funny direction.
In order to show off a few anti-aging wooden tools from Olfa Perbal Paris, Ross made a video to her account to demonstrate how to use the tools, as well as provide some funny commentary on her own anti-aging tips and techniques. She captioned the video “Y’all think this s--- is a game?!?”
As Ross massages her legs and lower back while wearing a face mask and sitting in a folding chair, she uses two wooden tools, a rolling bell, and a pimple. While she is using the tools, she shouts “50 what? 50 what? Years old,” to the camera while the person recording could not help but laugh along.
This is not the first time Ross has turned to her Instagram profile to share health tips in a comedic way with her followers. After turning 50, Ross revealed in a video in April 2023 that her stretching routine helped her feel "hot as ever", despite the new pains and aches she was experiencing.

Many have turned to Ross over the past few years for her anti-aging secrets, but she has always remained clear that she is not afraid of aging and chooses to embrace it in a positive way.
She explained in an interview with Glamour in 2022 that aging is in her opinion an honor, rather than something you should fear. “I think it is an honor to age, and so many people shy away from it and don’t want to tell their age. I love getting older. I look at women who are steps ahead of me and see so much beauty and wisdom in them,” she stated.

In light of celebrities like Ross taking part in the aging process and embracing the changes that come along with it, it makes it easier for others to embrace it, too. According to actress Halle Berry, who spoke on the topic of aging in 2022, the key to aging is to focus on your inner beauty instead of external beauty.
“We're all going to get older. Our skin is going to shrivel up and we're going to look different… I see things changing with my face and body, but I've never put all my eggs in that basket. I've always known that beauty is deeper than the physical body you're walking around in," the actress told AARP.
Although there are limitations to what can be done when it comes to taking care of yourself as you age on the outside, there are also ways that you can ensure that you age gracefully. A lot of the best-kept beauty secrets revolve around what you are putting in your body, and that is especially true for anti-aging secrets.

It is important to keep a balanced diet along with staying hydrated when it comes to taking care of both your inner and outer beauty. You will benefit not only from the fact that you will stay youthful as you age, but your immune system will also thank you for prioritizing the health of your inner self. In terms of your physical health, it is important to stretch as much as possible and be as mobile as possible. You can keep your joints active as you age by walking outside as often as you can, doing yoga, and stretching daily.
The tools shown in Ross's Instagram video don't need to be added to your everyday routine, as they don't need to be used on a regular basis. Also, if you don't use some tools appropriately, such as the ones shown in the video, they can cause unintended damage. Furthermore, they cannot guarantee that you will get the results you want. We should instead stop trying to slow down the aging process of our bodies and allow them to evolve as they are and not attempt to stop them from getting older.
