Welcome to the glamorous world of one of the most famous supermodels of the late 90s and early 00s. UK-born model, Kate Moss began modelling at the young age of 14 when she was discovered at the JFK airport in New York.

Diet And Exercise

Diet

For optimum results, Kate Moss follows an 80/20 diet, where she is careful about what she eats 80% of the time and eats, but eats what she wants 20% of the time. Her healthy drink of choice? A vitamin-packed green juice every morning with an anti-ageing food supplement called “Lumity”. Rich in amino acids, vitamins, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids, the drink wakes up the mind and has the skin glowing from the inside out.

“Food is really important. I try to eat healthily. And I do cook, but not as much as I’d like to because I’m busy, but I cook a good roast. I do good breakfasts – eggs are my forte. I really enjoy food, proper food, but I do try to eat more healthily than I used to. And I think as you get older you have to. When I was young I was so low maintenance I didn’t have to worry. Not what I ate, not about anything really. My skin looks better when I eat well, too. Obviously if you eat all that grease, skin just doesn’t look as healthy. I’ve really noticed an improvement since I’ve been more ‘on it’ with food – like eating salads and all that stuff – I never used to really eat salads. And now I’m like, juicing!”

Exercise

Kate Moss did not always have the best exercise habits. A few years ago she started working out and since then she never stopped, starting with a subscription to a yoga class and thrice-weekly gym sessions at the gym three times a week.

Kate Moss also got herself a personal trainer who helps her to stay in shape. He is famous for his 3-Week body blast program. She did workouts that involve switching between high intensity and low intensity so as to increase heart rate and thus burn more fat and calories.

Workout Essentials:

• 3-minute run on a flat surface | 3-minute run on an inclined plane
• jumping squads
• high-intensity kickboxing
• crunches

“I’ve never been a gym bunny or anything like that. I was always, like, ‘UGH’, it made me feel ill, but now I’ve actually started working out, I’m really quite into it. I’m at very early stages, but I’ve joined a gym and all that, and it’s made me feel really good. I worked out for an hour every consecutive day for a couple of weeks and it was enough that I really started to see the benefits, which I’d never really done before. I always thought ‘this is agony, I’m not coming back. This is torture’. But this time I just kind of pushed through. I honestly lost an inch off my waist in about 10 days. Now I really enjoy it.” she said in an interview with The Guardian.

Beauty Secrets

1. Sleeping In Her MakeUp

“My skincare routine is really simple. I couldn’t be bothered with loads of products and I’d get them all mixed up and not know what I was doing. I haven’t got the time or the inclination to sit there for ages, putting creams on my face. As a matter of fact, I need it to be effective and quick. I’ve been to bed in my makeup on occasions but I wouldn’t make a habit of it, not now. You can always tell the next day. It’s not a good look.”

2. Face Masks All Day Every Day

“Regardless of whether or not I’m working, I just do the same thing all the time. I’ll do a cleanser and a serum and a moisturiser and that’s it. That’s all I need. I’ll sometimes do those gorgeous sheet masks while watching telly. I had one on last night for today. Like a good girl, in bed, with my face mask on for work.”

3. The Perks Of A Good Hairdresser

“My hair takes a battering at work. I’ve got a great colourist (Nicola Clarke at John Frieda) and she is key – she’s saved it really. I don’t really do any moisturisation or hair treatments or anything. I’m very low maintenance with hair. I’m not really there yet.

4. Smokey Eyes

“Makeup, I love. Even more when I’m not working. Then I like doing my own makeup and playing. I love a dark eye, love makeup generally. And I just like dressing up. It’s a passion of mine.”

5. Don’t leave Out The Neck

“When applying your skincare products, don’t leave out the neck.”

6. The Power Of Rosewater

“I heard recently that if you put rosewater on a cotton pad it leave it on your eyes it takes heat from them like burning sensations.”

7. Gua Sha

After applying moisturiser Kate uses a Gua Sha, stating the following: “Then I’ll use a magic tool. It’s good for lymphatic drainage. I learned about the Gua Sha at work just before they started putting the make-up on, on a bit of moisturiser, then they’d always do this.”

8.The Golden Nektar

“You can ingest it. It has a blackberry CBD, which is good for everything as we know the inflammatories. It just makes you less stressed and also your skin is less stressed. You can also use it on your skin. It has collagen, which is vegan. It is made from a plant in Greece and it is called the tears of eels.”

9. Bye Bye Shabby Looking Hair

Finishing of her morning beauty routine Kate Moss uses Sam Mc Knight’s hair product named “Cool Girl“: ” He said he made it for me because my hair was always a little bit shabby looking.”

Recap

Kate Moss has reinvented herself again and again over the years. From the party girl, she was to a spiritually connected being. Although she has drastically changed her lifestyle, she is still the same confident and iconic supermodel she has always been. She shaped the 90s and early 00s like no other by bringing heroin chic to the fashion industry. Over the years, she has taken a lot of criticism, but one thing is for sure: she has always focused on living her life to the fullest and on her terms.

“I want to live my life in a way that when I get really old, I look back at my life and say: aaah I lived it, not survived it.” ⎯ Kate Moss
