Candice Swanepoel

The South African stunner knows the importance of removing her make-up, but likes to keep it natural. “Because I wear a lot of make-up for work, it’s really important to keep my skin clean after work, so I use a great natural face wash, Tea Tree Oil and Green Tea,” she reveals. “I use organic coconut oil to take my make-up off, I also add it to my smoothies to keep my skin glowing. It’s a great all round natural beauty product.”

Joan Smalls

Joan Smalls actually ignores the labels on her skincare items, preferring to tailor products to her complexion instead. “In the morning, I always make sure to wash my face with a salicylic acid cleanser and moisturise with a combination of lotion and Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair,” says the model. “I know it’s supposed to be used at night, but I like putting it on for daytime because it makes my skin look dewy and glowing!”

Amber Valletta

The secret to Amber’s ageless skin? The supermodel reportedly cleanses her face with goat’s milk. “It’s a natural lactic acid,” Valletta explained. “I don’t use it every day because I travel a lot, and it doesn’t travel well. Mostly, I’ll just splash it on my face a few times a week after cleansing, then pat dry.”

Shanina Shaik

To keep her skin super soft, former Victoria’s Secret Angel Shanina Shaik makes a beeline for the children’s aisle, “Using Johnson’s Baby Oil straight out of the shower is really good,” she says. “It stays in your skin for 24 hours.”

Kate Moss

The secret to Kate Moss’s lively look? The supermodel reportedly ices her face before hitting the town. “Get some ice, put it in the sink, put some cucumber in there too and stick your head in it,” Moss told the Daily Mirror. “Apparently, it’s an old-school thing that Joan Crawford used to do. It really wakes you up.”

Karolina Kurkova

Karolina Kurkova’s morning skincare routine sounds like it would be quite a pinch: “I squeeze a bit of lemon juice and wash my face with it,” says Kurkova. “The acid kind of pulls everything out that wants to come out and dries everything out, so it’s not so glamorous, but you just shine!”

Arizona Muse

This model gets her glow by mixing her make-up with her skincare. “My number-one beauty tip is to mix Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair with foundation,” explains Muse. “It just turns every foundation into the most sheer amazingness.”

Miranda Kerr

It’s no secret that Miranda Kerr credits her flawless complexion to the powerful antioxidants found in Tahitian Noni Juice, but it seems the supermodel also has a host of other beauty tricks up her sleeve. “Body brushing is very important,” says Kerr. “It detoxifies the system, gets the blood circulation going, and is really reenergising. It’s one of my favourite rituals – I do it morning and night. I also love getting body scrubs. I exfoliate my skin every second day.”
