Sofia Vergara, 51, admits she will 'fight' aging 'every step of the way' as she shares beauty secrets (hint: one involves a bed, another coconut oil)

Sofia Vergara is one of the top beauties in Hollywood.

And she has no intention of letting her looks slide, the 51-year-old siren told the new digital issue of People magazine.

The Modern Family veteran - who shared why she didn't have kids with ex Joe Manganiello - admitted that she will push back on nature for as long as she possibly can. 'I'm going to fight it every step of the way!' said the Griselda actress.

For now, she feels amazing: 'I feel great. I know I don’t look the same. But I don’t think I am going to ever be the woman that has the courage to be, like, all-white hair.'

She has also tried every silly beauty treatment that is out there: 'I’ve done it all. I mean, you tell me to put cement under your eye, you’re going to look younger, I’ll do it immediately. I do it all.'

The interview also covers her beauty secrets, what her workouts are like, how she is a sugar addict and why she won't cut her long hair.

'It’s like I put coconut oil on my head. I put it on my feet. I’ve wrapped myself in plastic with Aquaphor up to the neck. I’ll do it. I don’t care. It’s not stupid,' she noted. 

And the America's Got Talent revealed her real beauty secret that anyone can do: sleep.

'I take sleeping seriously now. Before, I could survive on six hours, now I know that I don’t look good if I don’t sleep more,' added the designer.

If she has a photo shoot, she tries to wake up earlier because she needs time to get rid of the 'puffiness': 'Our job as actors, it’s not like, put your glasses on, and go pick up your kid at school or go and sit in a desk. You have to be camera-ready and do your job. But it takes longer now that I’m older,' the star noted.

She also hops in the shower every morning to lather up.

'I wash my hair every single day of my life. I mean, unless I’m sick or I have to catch a plane at 3 in the morning, then I don’t have time,' noted the diva.

'But I wash my hair every day. Everybody always told me it’s going to ruin your hair, and it never has.'

And she won't cut her long hair off.

'In Latin America, I mean they used to tell you that once you hit 40, you’re not supposed to have this crazy long hair. So I’m always thinking like, “Is it time? Is it time to cut it?” I don’t know, I don’t want to feel like old-fashioned [with] short hair.

One of the biggest shockers of the interview is that she works out lightly but often: 'I have bad knees, so I’ve never been really into crazy workouts. I’ve worked out kind of like an older person my whole life. I do little weights like this [she curls up her arm], but I am constant. I do it often because I can’t do spinning or any of those sexy exercises now.'

And she loves to eat cake often as she is a self-proclaimed sugar addict.

 For now, she feels amazing: 'I feel great. I know I don’t look the same. But I don’t think I am going to ever be the woman that has the courage to be, like, all-white hair.' Seen left this year and seen right in Miami in the 1980s

'I'm going to fight it every step of the way!' said the Griselda actress; seen last summer in Ravello, Itay

Sofia loves to keep herself looking her very best probably because of where she grew up: in Colombia.

'I think because I'm Latin, we always grow up thinking about looking good, doing your hair, your makeup. It's something that makes you feel good,' she said.

'I love beauty products. I love makeup, I love clothes. And I think now that I'm older, it's great, because you know exactly what you like, what looks good on you, what doesn't look good on you. I don't do what is in fashion. I just do what feels good, makes me feel confident and beautiful.'

And she did not like covering up her looks for her latest series, she admitted: 'I did Griselda for six months. It was a horrific [look],' she said, laughing. 'It was torture.'

Sofia also said that she is grateful that she is good looking because it helped open doors: 'I always knew how I looked, and I was always very thankful, because at the end of the day, you have to be.'

Shockingly, as a teenager she was 'very skinny and not very voluptuous at that time.'

She said: 'So it took me some years to fill in, and then I started feeling confident. But at the beginning I was like, "Oh, I don't have anything." And then God punished me. [Laughs].'

She has also tried every silly beauty treatment that is out there: 'I’ve done it all. I mean, you tell me to put cement under your eye, you’re going to look younger, I’ll do it immediately. I do it all.' Seen in Italy last summer

She also revealed why she did not want to have children with ex-husband Joe Manganiello after welcoming her first and only child Manolo 32 years ago. 

During her marriage to Magic Mike star Joe, 47, it never felt like the right time for them to have a child. 

'There's things in life that might sound like good ideas, but they're not,' she explained in the digital issue of People.

'I was a mother already,' she said, referring to son Manolo, whom she shares with her first husband, Joe Gonzalez. 

'I know what it means to be a good mother or to try to be the best mother that you can, and that takes a lot of sacrifices, takes a lot of energy,' she shared, before explaining that she didn't believe she was capable of doing that again at a certain point in her life.

Vergara split from Joe last year and they finalized their divorce this year - and last year, she admitted that their break up was due, at least in part, to the fact that he wanted children, while she did not.
