Fact: Miranda Kerr has amazing skin. I mean, in general, most supermodels do. So what does the Miranda Kerr skin routine look like? With her wedding to Snapchat cofounder Evan Spiegel just around the corner—the two told Female First they'll wed sometime this year—the supermodel is kicking her skin-care routine into overdrive to help prep her complexion for the big day.
Her number-one trick? Sweating it out in the sauna. "I really love going in the infrared sauna, just to detox," Kerr recently revealed to InStyle. And she's exactly right, although it's not the getting-drenched-in-sweat part that's actually beneficial. As we've told you before, sauna time softens pores, which in turn releases trapped dirt, debris, and dead skin cells that could be making them look large and dusky.
And that's just the beginning of Kerr's pre-wedding prep plan. Along with detoxing in high and humid temps, the 33-year-old model (and founder of Kora Organics) is also big on exfoliating—from head to toe. "I'm such a big fan of body brushing, like dry body brushing. I love it," she told InStyle in the same interview. "I do it every morning religiously. It stimulates the lymphatic system. It detoxifies your body."
She's got a point there. Dry brushing helps slough off flaky, dead skin by rubbing a soft natural-bristle brush (like the
) in a light, circular motion everywhere on your body—except the delicate skin on your face and chest, says Santa Monica dermatologist Karyn Grossman. "You can use your Clarisonic for that, which isn't as aggressive," Grossman previously explained to Allure. "You can be a little tougher on your knees, elbows, ankles, and the tops of your feet, where the skin is thicker."
