Some people just never seem to age on the outside. In most cases, they accredit their preserved looks to some expensive magic skin potion that’s not so feasible for everyday folk and/or a little help from costly modern cosmetic procedures. Victoria Featherstone Pearce may look like she’s in her 20s, but she’s actually closer to 50, and her ageless look is all about what she’s doing from the inside out.

Bystanders often confuse the 48-year-old model and charity worker as being in her 20s. From her glowing hair, wrinkle-free skin, fit and trim body, healthy nails, and vibrant complexion, this East Londoner is a stunning beauty. But, there are a lot of beauties in their own right across the age spectrum, right? So, what makes Victoria so special?

 “I have been a vegetarian since I was six years old and became a vegan overnight when I learnt about the dark side of the dairy industry at 33,” the model told Totally Vegan Buzz. “I believe this has helped my appearance. I feel healthier and better than I did in my 20s.”

Victoria accredits her beautiful and youthful appearance and fantastic health to her lifestyle. There’s no Botox for this girl. Instead, she believes in a teetotal lifestyle, including a clean vegan diet and only using cruelty-free skincare and beauty products.

“In the modeling industry, I have had experiences where we have spoken over the phone and I will be dismissed due to my age. People hear I am 48 and a distorted image appears in their mind – just because I am older it doesn’t mean I look it,” she explained.

According to Victoria, the switch hasn’t just preserved her youthful appearance. She says she even feels healthier than when she was actually in her 20s. You might recognize Victoria from her work on Sony TV, Guinness, and Birds Eye Peas commercials.

“I am not ashamed to say I feel and look good – I want to continue rocking it and being sexy until I am 90!"

“I believe mature models have a lot more to offer and I don’t want to be just a number,” she added.

Of course, we all know that beauty and health aren’t just skin deep. Victoria strives daily to keep herself mentally healthy, and she works tirelessly as a mental health advocate. Due to her own battles with it after finding out the man she thought was her biological father wasn’t, she’s dedicated herself to innumerable campaigns spreading awareness about depression.

Most people are surprised to learn to bubbly model suffers with depression. She admits that there are many times her feelings don’t match the outside, that she’s contemplated suicide, and how helping dogs has given her purpose in life. Her story really cements that there’s no single face to depression and how we can’t just assume that a beautiful outside equals a beautiful mindset.

Plant-based lifestyles are trending for an array of reasons from environmental concerns and health benefits to ethical and moral standards.

For Victoria, veganism seems to be a little of everything, and the benefits are showing from her mental and physical health to her overall youthful appearance.
