Kendall Jenner Shares Her Self-Care Routine, From Ice Facial To Intentional Journaling
Between balancing a successful modeling career, running an exclusive clothing line with her sister Kylie Jenner and launching her own business, Kendall Jenner wears many hats.
If you’ve ever found yourself wondering how the second youngest Kardashian sibling takes care of herself considering all the things she has on her plate, you’re not alone.
Interestingly, despite being one of the world’s most sought-after supermodels with access to top experts and the finest products at her fingertips, Jenner has a surprisingly relatable approach to self-care.
Here, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star opens up about some of her go-to self-care habits that help her thrive:
After having her morning cup of tea, Jenner likes to start her day with skin icing. “Something I’ve been doing a lot lately is an ice facial. I take a bowl of ice and dip my face into it first thing in the morning,” she says. “It’s amazing for your skin but also really incredible for helping with anxiety,” she adds.
This type of grounding technique can help jolt the system out of the “fight or flight” response, steering your mind away from the feelings of anxiety and panic—helping you refocus on what’s happening in the present moment.
Rebalancing With Meditation
“I also make time to meditate,” says Jenner. She practices transcendental meditation—a form of meditation that involves silently reciting a personalized mantra (typically a single word or sound) for 15-20 minutes to avoid distracting thoughts and promote a state of relaxed awareness.
Setting Daily Intentions
“Next, I write out my intentions for the day before I head out for my AM workout,” Jenner shares.
Setting daily intentions is a simple yet profound way to purposely choose how you want to spend your day instead of allowing the day to happen to you. It helps you hold yourself accountable. Plus, it provides you the opportunity to align your daily tasks with your long-term goals and keeps you motivated to achieve them.
Sweating It Out
“Then I throw on an Alo Yoga set and head to my favorite reformer pilates class,” she says.
Regular exercise is yet another powerful self-care tool that’s backed by years of science and extensive clinical evidence. Being active not only pumps up your heart and improves overall physical health but also stimulates the production of endorphins aka the “feel good” hormones that enhance mood and positivity.
Simple Skincare
“I find that a simple routine works best for my skin type,” says Jenner. “The most important step for me is washing my face and removing any makeup. Especially during fashion month or shoot days when I’m wearing a full face of makeup all day long,” says the supermodel who reveals that it’s the number one skincare rule she swears by. “I usually double cleanse at the end of the night and even throughout the day to let my skin breathe and avoid breakouts,” she adds. Her go-to face wash is Clean Natural Facial Cleanser created by her Beverly Hills-based dermatologist, Christie Kidd.
In addition, “I always make sure to include some sort of SPF in for the day,” Jenner shares.
“As an extension of my skincare routine, I also place a huge emphasis on oral beauty,” adds the 26-year-old. “I believe that taking care of your teeth is just as important as taking care of your skin so I have a little daily routine that gives some TLC to my smile,” she says.
“Before going to bed, I read while doing my quick five-minute whitening routine with Moon’s Dissolving 56CT Whitening Strips. I also add a whitening boost treatment once or twice a week with the Moon Dust Advanced Whitening Paste Booster,” she reveals.
When asked what’s the best beauty advice she has ever received, Jenner replies, “[it’s] definitely from my mom. She taught me from an early age that beauty comes from within and shines outward. If you’re not feeling great about yourself, it will show on the outside. So prioritizing self-care and wellness are most important.
Jenner has been seen sporting an ᴀssortment of cute sets from the celeb-loved athleisure brand that she has an ongoing partnership with. Her most recent look on Instagram featured this chic sports bra from the brand’s latest Embody collection that she paired with matching dark brown shorts.
