Standing 1.7 m tall and weighing about 68 kg, Tom Cruise is known as the “ageless man” in Hollywood because his appearance has not changed much over time. According to Esquire magazine , Tom does everything to maintain his handsome appearance, including an elaborate skin care routine morning and night every day for three decades. Actors often soak their faces in ice water for 60 seconds, then cleanse twice, apply toner, face serum, eye serum, eye cream, face moisturizer and neck cream. The process takes 30 minutes, so on busy days, the actor always wakes up at 4:30 a.m. to take care of his skin. Unlike many stars who often share the cosmetic brands they use, Tom Cruise keeps it a secret.
In addition to basic care, Tom also uses an LED mask and visits a dermatologist weekly. According to Men’s Health , Tom loves other non-invasive treatments such as microneedling to produce collagen, laser treatment to tighten the skin. The actor told this magazine he has never had and will never have cosmetic surgery. In 2016, when attending the BAFTA awards ceremony, Tom appeared with an unusually swollen face, raising rumors that he had Botox injections, but the actor avoided all questions.

To increase his endurance for action scenes, Tom Cruise goes to the gym and participates in many activities. “Sea kayaking, caving, fencing, jogging, weightlifting, rock climbing, hiking… I do almost everything,” he told Men’s Health . By applying a variety of exercises and different sports, Tom maintains ideal health, but he never shares workout scenes. A source told the magazine Tom’s body age index is only half of his actual age. Tom often presses dumbbells with one arm to discover physical weaknesses, thereby effectively overcoming them.
For many years, Tom limited his sugar intake and followed a low-carb diet with a menu containing only 1,200 calories. According to Dr. Paul Clayton, author of Health Defense , eating low-carb helps Tom stay young because carbs create insulin – a hormone that causes aging. The actor loves grilled food because food cooked at low heat can avoid causing chronic tissue inflammation and reduce the body’s aging speed. On busy days at the studio, Tom Cruise always prepares snacks such as blueberries and nuts, not only for himself but also for the entire film crew. According to E! News , Tom likes to eat dates with peanut butter and coconut sprinkles during his breaks.
