In a 2016 interview, James Corden compared Stefani to Benjamin Button, a fictional character who ages backward and gets younger with time. Speaking during Corden's 'Carpool Karaoke' segment, Stefani explained how her life "blew up" and she "started falling in love."

"Then I wrote a whole record about that. So that’s […] what the facelift is," she said. "I’m writing music about happiness and truth.”

Gwen Stefani's secret to agelessness

Stefani has said in the past that among the things she does to take care of herself is being serious about sun protection. She also pays special attention to her hair. "I really do take care of my hair, even more than my face. Because you have to if you're a blonde," she said in the past.

Stefani previously revealed that she believes good lighting has a massive impact on a person's look and makeup. She also focuses on spiritual exercise. "I used to do a lot of fitness and physical exercise, which I still think is really important, but spiritual exercise is the one thing that really got me to where I'm at," she said.

Among other things, Stefani believes in letting her skin breathe, likes to use bold lipsticks, relies on a sweat-proof foundation, and prefers to explore new makeup trends and techniques. "That's the story of my life really; flaunt what's good about you and disguise the rest!" she said in the past.
