How does she manage to look so stunning? What products does she use? And how much do they cost?
There’s nothing that piques our curiosity more than the beauty and wellness secrets of celebrities. When it comes to models and beauty moguls like Miranda Kerr, 42, who must maintain a flawless appearance as part of their career, their routines and must-have products become particularly captivating.
Kerr, the brains behind Kora Organics, resides in Los Angeles and balances her life as a mother of four. She shares Flynn, 14, with her former husband, actor Orlando Bloom, and has three more children—Hart, 7, Myles, 6, and Pierre, 1—with her current husband, Evan Spiegel, the CEO of Snapchat.
Here’s a glimpse into the rituals, products, and habits that help her stay at the peak of her beauty and wellness game…

Watch the sun rise
Every morning, I rise at 5am, and surprisingly, I’ve grown to enjoy this routine. I used to be a night owl, but my husband, an early riser, has positively influenced my habits.
One particular habit I cherish is watching the sunrise through an open window. Many health experts suggest that the 20 minutes before sunrise are when the healing infrared rays are most potent. These rays are believed to aid in healing, relieve pain, and boost energy. Incorporating this practice has left me feeling invigorated.
Meditate daily
I’ve meditated since I was 18. Every day is different, some days you go deeper – into a bliss state – and some days you don’t go as deep, and that’s OK. My teacher explained to me that it’s like swimming – it doesn’t matter if you’re in the shallow end of the pool or the deep end of the pool, you’re still getting wet. I think it’s a really good way of releasing stress – it’s like a pressure valve – and if you’re not clearing that kind of energy I feel like it definitely shows on your face and in your eyes.

Use crystal-filtered skincare
I think your skincare routine should feel like a little at-home spa moment. It’s one of the reasons every single one of my products is filtered through rose quartz crystals in the manufacturing process, so they have a beautiful, loving energy.
If I had to pick a favourite item from the range, I’d probably say the Turmeric Brightening & Exfoliating Scrub + Mask (£20, uk.koraorganics.com). It’s like a facial. The results are instant: your skin is radiant and glowing. I’m obsessed.
Amp up your wellness with gadgets
I have a Weber Medical LightMat (from around £500, wmedicalsystems.com) which uses red and infrared LEDs to calm inflammation, and I have the helmet (around £3,000) from the same company – it shines light through the skull to help with cognitive function.

I also use a device called the Truvaga (around £200, truvaga.com) which is a vagus nerve stimulator that helps calm you down. We live in a fast-paced world and these help re-balance me.
Oh, and I have a power plate in my bathroom that shakes your whole body. I think it’s supposed to be good for circulation and blood flow, so I stand on that while I’m doing my skincare and make-up.
Eat according to blood tests
I’m gluten-free, dairy-free and egg-free because I had my blood tested and they were causing inflammation. Instead I eat gut-friendly foods, such as sauerkraut, coconut yoghurt kefir and goat’s milk kefir. And I’m a big fan of juices – I have celery juice, noni [a bitter, mango-sized fruit from the coffee family] juice and aloe juice daily.
Make your make-up multi-task
I like the Kosas LipFuel Lip Balm (£19, kosas.com) in the shade Pulse, and I’ll sometimes use that as blush as well. For years, I’ve used the RMS UnCoverup Concealer (£39, rmsbeauty.com) and I’ll put a drop of my Kora Organics Noni Glow Face Oil (£29, uk.koraorganics.com) in the pot then use a make-up brush to put it all over my face. It gives you a light amount of coverage, so it looks like you just have healthy, glowing skin.
Choose the exercise that works for you
I have a bike called the Carol bike (£2,595, carolbike.com) where you can do a super-quick ten-minute ride – it’s like HIIT and it’s the quickest way to get fit. I’m all about efficiency so I really enjoy doing that. I went through a stage of doing weights and I did quite like it, and I want to get back into Pilates, but right now I’m meditation and yoga-focused.
My meditation teacher taught me something called rounding [a specific sequence of yoga poses, breathwork and meditation] and I’ve been very much into that rather than pushing myself. I feel it’s exactly what my body needs right now.
