Speaking to the Today Show in November about her book, Christie said her top beauty tip is to smile.
'It instantly lifts the face and it just lights up the room,' she said.
The model admitted that she inherited her mother's good genes, but said there were many ways to stop the aging process.
'I had a gorgeous mom,' Christie said. 'She was beautiful, so I lucked out there.
'But there is a lot that you can do, from what you eat, to exercise to the creams that you use on your face 24 hours a day. You're so in control of that and you have a lot of influence there.'
And she said sunblock is the one beauty item she can't do without.
