The secret to Gwen Stefani's beauty is not such a secret after all. If you've seen Gwen photos lately, there's something she has been inseparable from and it isn't her husband Gavin Rossdale, or her children Zuma and Kingston, it's that shady, little umbrella she won't let go of.

With summer in full swing in the U.S., Gwen Stefani and her kids have been photographed at play in parks and beaches. While Zuma and Kingston enjoy the sun, their rockstar of a mom watches them from under her umbrella, or the brim of her hat. The No Doubt singer is no fan of the sun. No wonder her 43 years isn't visible on her face at all. This "Settle Down" singer is serious about her sun protection. Gwen is also a L'Oreal model whose face is all over lipstick, mascara, and hair color adverts. Aggressive skin care is just part of the job. Besides, what better to show off the fashion designer's signature red lips and platinum blonde hair than a glowing complexion?

Umbrella-wielding aside, fitness plays a huge part in Gwen's busy life. The proof is in her abs! The "Hollaback Girl's" former trainer shared with Shape Magazine that high-intensity weight training and cardio is the way to go to get Gwen Stefani's body. All that sweating and healthy living shows in her gorgeous skin. Gwen even gives her fans a reality check when it comes to keeping fit. She tells Harper's Bazaar, "There is no secret: You just have to eat healthy, work out, and torture yourself!" So much for that magic pill, then.

As for what she puts on her umbrella shaded face, Gwen Stefani's makeup routine can be narrowed down to her signature look - matte red lips and she's good to go.
