It’s basically a career requirement for supermodels to always look and feel their best before photo shoots (how else are they supposed to look good in front of a camera?). Knowing this, it’s no surprise models partake in a few healthy habits in order to keep their bodies fit, their skin clear and their energy levels up. Here, we scoped out the simple morning rituals that four models do every single morning to look and feel their best, no matter how busy they are.

Lindsay Ellingson, supermodel and cofounder/creative director of Wander Beauty

“I drink a large glass of warm water with lime to keep my body alkaline,” says Ellingson. “To increase circulation and exfoliate my skin, I dry brush my body, which wakes me up right away. I also challenge myself to meditate for 10 minutes every morning using my Headspace app, and I take a raw food multivitamin, which helps to fight free-radical attacks and keeps my skin looking youthful.”

Olivia Culpo, model and former Miss USA

“Every morning, I always take my vitamins,” explains Culpo. “I like to start off the day drinking hot water with lemon. It’s so soothing and it makes me feel like I can take on the whole day without having to load my body with caffeine. It’s a really comforting ritual. I also meditate in the morning.”

Hunter McGrady, Sports Illustrated model

“I always make sure I drink at least 16 ounces of water while I get ready before I head out for the day and make sure I eat a good breakfast,” exclaims McGrady. “This is a must! My go-to is avocado toast and a hard-boiled egg. I have no energy on set without it!”

Miranda Kerr, supermodel and founder of Kora Organics

“I make a cup of warm water with lemon and listen to a meditation to help clear my mind, center myself set my intention for the day,” says Kerr. “Drinking warm water with lemon helps kickstart the digestion process and cleanse your system. Every other day I also like to apply my KORA Organics Hydrating Mask ($34) while I’m listening to my meditation—it helps refine pores, remove dead skin cells and promotes healthy tissue rejuvenation leaving the skin feeling replenished and rejuvenated.”
