3 Skin Care & Well-being Habits Supermodel Miranda Kerr Does Every Day

"I believe strongly in the mind, body, skin connection. Even what you think affects the skin at the cellular level," says supermodel Miranda Kerr, founder of Kora Organics. Kerr is a bonafide wellness and beauty expert; just listen to this week’s Clean Beauty School to hear for yourself. Between waxing poetic about skin care ingredients, she explains why she became a certified health coach and gives us book recommendations of psychologist David Hawkins’ tomes on consciousness.

"There is such a strong link between the mind and skin. Every thought you think affects your body," says Kerr. One small way she infuses this philosophy into her life? She practices mantras during daily skin care or health rituals, blending together mindfulness and action.  

"Healthy skin is the most beautiful skin. So if you feed it the right nutrients, both internally and externally, then it will really be at its best," says Kerr. 

Certainly her day is filled with liquids: "I start my day with 32 ounces of room temperature water with one lemon squeezed, and then after that I have 32 ounces of celery juice. I follow that with dandelion tea, or coffee if I need it. Later, I do a smoothie with spirulina, barley grass, frozen blueberries, banana, fresh orange juice, and seaweed," she says. 

What you feed your body is a huge part of the skin care picture for Kerr—but quality, organic topicals are essential. "It's such a misconception that organic ingredients aren't as effective," she says, noting some research that says organic plants contain 60 percent higher antioxidant1 content than their traditionally farmed counterparts. "My skin has never been better than when I started using organic products."
