Kate Moss is approaching her 50th birthday with caution!

“I’m not turning 50,” the supermodel told U.K. newspaper The Times in an interview published Sunday about her milestone birthday in January 2024, adding that she is in “denial” about getting older. 

“No. I’m not thinking about it. I do not feel 50,” added Moss, who is mom to Lila Moss Hack, 20, through her relationship with ex-boyfriend, Dazed Media founder Jefferson Hack.

When asked if she has had any injectables such as fillers or Botox, Moss said: “No comment. Au naturel. Next [question].”

Instead, Moss — who has a wellness brand called Cosmoss offering products including fragrance and tea — revealed to The Times that she uses a variety of self-care routines to help her feel good both mentally and physically as she gets older.

She added that she “moonbathes,” which is the Ayurvedic practice of lying under the light of the moon in order to absorb lunar energy. When the moon is full, the supermodel said she “charges” her crystals.

“I put all my crystals on a tray and put them outside in the garden,” she explained to The Times. “Just cleansing the crystal, charging the crystals." 

The star, who has been the face of Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Calvin Klein and Alexander McQueen throughout her prestigious runway career, also shared that she starts her mornings by practicing meditation for 10 minutes. She recites affirmations, telling the outlet that her favorites include “embrace the unknown” and “trust the universe and it will lead the way.”

In March, Lila — who is following her mom’s footsteps into the modeling world — revealed that she is still learning from her supermodel mom and leaning on her expert eye for outfit inspiration.

"It's so funny because I would copy her outfits consistently — always wearing black and gray, like skinny jeans," Lila told Vogue for its Diary of a Model video series.

"Now, I come in my outfits and she'll be like, 'Oh my god I'm so jealous you look so cute!' I'm like, 'It's all yours.' "

Lila added that while she always has her eye on her mom's bags, she sadly can't steal her shoes because they have different foot sizes.

"She's a size 6 and I'm a size 5 and it's one of my biggest regrets," joked Lila.

In May, Kate also revealed that she is inspired by other people — but not in the way you might think.

"I had so much admiration for the Queen, and I don't think King Charles will disappoint," she said ahead of the coronation of King Charles. "I love his values on sustainability, the environment. It's a new era in Britain: one to look forward to and that brings hope."

Like the new British monarch, Moss — who told The Times that she once tried waking up at 4 a.m. but “was just so exhausted” — also has a love of gardening.

She told The Times that her vegetable patch includes potatoes, tomatoes, onions, garlic, lettuce and arugula, and that she regularly uses her vegetables to make Sunday lunch for Lila.

The supermodel added that has also cut down on cigarettes. “I still smoke occasionally. I’ve heard that when you stop, you can really tell [by your skin]. But I haven’t stopped ... yet,” she told The Times.

These days Moss has also left the London party scene behind to make sure she is typically tucked up by 11 p.m.

Frasier is my bedtime watch,” Moss told The Times. “It just puts me to sleep."
