When it comes to ageless beauty, Cher insists that it's all about what you put — or rather don't put — in your body.
The iconic singer, who turned 72 years old in May, has revealed her simple secret to looking eternally young, and it has nothing to do with plastic surgery. However, her strict rules don't leave any room for the occasional vice.
'All right. I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs — I never have,' she told the Today show. 'I work out. I'm pretty good with my diet, except I like chocolate.'

'I think, also, I've always kept working,' she added.
The Emmy, Grammy, and Oscar winner mentioned nothing of plastic surgery, which she first turned to in 1985 after seeing herself on the big screen in Mask.
'It makes me happy. You know, if I want to put my tits on my back, they’re mine,” she once said of having cosmetic procedures.
Cher has owned up having rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, a facelift, and dental surgery, though any speculation of recent procedures is merely rumor.
And while abstaining from cocktails and the occasional cigarette may seem impossible to some, Cher is clearly on to something.

Jennifer Lopez, who looks half her age, also nixes alcohol, caffeine, and smoking to keep herself looking young.
'I don't drink or smoke or have caffeine,' the 48-year-old told Us Weekly in 2016. 'That really wrecks your skin as you get older.'
In addition to sharing her anti-aging secrets, Cher and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again producer Judy Craymer sat down with Today show star Kathie Lee Gifford to talk about her role in the film.
Cher plays Meryl Streep's mother in the sequel despite — despite only being three years older than the actress. However, she gushed that being on set was an amazing experience.
'This was one of the most extraordinary adventures of my life,' she said. 'Everyone was so gracious and they just loved me.'

Cher said she is a 'huge fan' of the Broadway musical, but it was actually her agent Ron Meyer who called her and told her she was doing the film.
'I never thought I would do many movies,' she admitted. 'I believe what belongs to you comes to you, and I would never would have thought this belonged to me, but obviously it did.'
The actress said that what she loves about the film 'is that it shows women being in control of their life.'
Cher enjoyed singing the Abba hit 'Fernando' so much in the film she decided to record an entire album of the band's covers.
'It's not what you think of when you think of Abba because I did it in a different way,' she explained.
The legendary star is currently dividing her time between Las Vegas and Washington, D.C. while performing her 87-show residency, 'Classic Cher.'
She is also working on 'The Cher Show,' a musical based on her life.
