Exclusive: Kourtney Kardashian Reveals The Craziest Thing She's Done for Beauty
By Brittany Burhop Fallon, Beauty Director |
Reality
superstar Kourtney Kardashian has quickly climbed the ranks to become a beauty
and fashion mogul, along with her sisters Kim and Khloé. Their beauty
collection, Kardashian Beauty, features everything from blow-dryers to lip
gloss, and their fashion lines, Kardashian Kollection and Kardashian Kids, are
wildly popular. As a mom of three and bustling businesswoman, how does Kourtney
make it all look so easy? We got the scoop from the star herself.
NewBeauty: What anti-aging advice
has your mom passed down to you?
Kourtney Kardashian: My mom has always told my
sisters and I to exfoliate with a hot washcloth after we wash our faces. She’s
always encouraged us to keep our skin extra clean and to use a moisturizer.
NB: You’ve said the placenta
pills you took after your pregnancy were “life-changing.” How so?
KK: While I was taking them,
I had so much energy and was very happy. I felt like they also benefited my
skin and hair. Every mother should take them if possible!
NB: Which products from your
Kardashian Beauty collection should every woman own?
KK: My favorite product is
the Take 2 Dry Shampoo because with my schedule,
I always need to be able to get ready quickly. I also love the scent! My
sisters and I went back and forth perfecting it for weeks. Another favorite of
mine is the Black Seed Dry Oil. I like to use it when my
ends are dry or when I wear a sleek and polished ponytail.
NB: What is your most
effective trick for losing post-baby weight?
KK: Easing back into
exercising is important. I started by taking walks with the baby and kids and I
ate as organically as possible, but I also liked to include full-fat healthy foods as well. I eventually worked up to doing workout sessions five days a
week with my trainer. If I am going to spend an hour in the gym, or even at
home working out, it has to be effective, otherwise it’s just not worth my
time. Jumping rope is a good workout if you only have a short amount of time. I
will usually do 10 sets of 200 if I am in a hurry.
NB: What’s the craziest thing
you’ve done for the sake of beauty?
KK: I went to a naked Korean
spa with my friends...it was just not my thing!
NB: Has your beauty routine
and overall style changed since having kids?
KK: Yes! After paying
attention to the products I was using on my children's angel skin, I started
paying attention to what I was using on my own skin as well. I love products
that are as chemical-free as possible, so I keep my routine simple. My style
has changed in the sense that if I am with my kids, I dress to play and have
fun with them. This doesn’t mean I’m not stylish, but just that I had to swap
out my heels and buy a lot of amazing flat shoes.
NB: Do you currently follow
any holistic wellness practices?
KK: I take ghee every
morning, work out and eat clean.
NB: What are your
can’t-live-without wardrobe staples?
KK: A RAILS denim shirt,
Saint Laurent flat boots, Yeezy sneakers, Kardashian Kollection black leggings,
a leather baseball hat and a Balenciaga motorcycle jacket.
NB: What’s one fall beauty
trend you’re most looking forward to wearing this season?
KK: A dark lip!
NB: Have you tried any new
spa treatments lately that you loved?
KK: I just love a good
massage. I have been into seeing a chiropractor lately, too.
NB: What is one thing you’d
like to do in your life that you haven’t done yet?
KK: I have always wanted to
get an airstream or an RV and just drive all over the country. I love to travel
and explore, especially small towns.
