When I was growing up, I religiously tuned into the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show every fall. I loved watching the Angels grace the runway in their extravagant lingerie and multimillion-dollar fantasy bras. One of my favorite models was Miranda Kerr. She has a glowing aura and down-to-earth humility that’s as rare as the diamond- and aquamarine-embellished fantasy bra she wore for the 2011 runway show. I recently got the opportunity to chat with the supermodel, and thankfully, she didn’t shy away from sharing her beauty secrets. It turns out, there are a few tricks she picked up backstage at Victoria’s Secret that she still swears by to this day.
Skin prep: “One of the best tips I picked up backstage is the importance of skin prep,” she tells me. “Starting with a clean, exfoliated base makes all the difference.”
Facial massage: “I still swear by facial massage and using a cold tool like our Rose Quartz Gua Sha ($67) to de-puff and boost circulation before makeup.”
Face oil: “Mix a few drops of face oil into your foundation for a dewy, radiant finish. It gives that lit-from-within glow that always photographs beautifully.”
In addition to being an Angel (literally and figurativelyāshe’s so sweet), Kerr is the founder of Kora Organics, a clean skincare line that features organic ingredients including turmeric, kakadu plum, and her favorite, noni fruit, a tropical fruit native to her home country of Australia. Now, if you’re wondering why organic ingredients matter in skincare, Kerr can tell you. “Organic ingredients are not only healthier for your skin, they’re better for your overall well-being and the planet,” she says. “They can contain up to 60% more antioxidants than nonorganic, which means they’re more potent and effective.” (Okay, I just might be converted now.) And speaking of efficacy, Kerr has one skincare tip that everyone needs to know: “Don’t underestimate the power of a simple, consistent skincare routine,” she tells me. “You don’t need a million products, just a few high-quality, nourishing ones that truly work for your skin.”

KORA Organics
Noni Glow Radiant Face Oil
“This is my liquid-gold face oil. It’s the first product I created, and I still use it every single day. It gives my skin the most incredible glow and deeply hydrates without feeling heavy. I love pressing it into my skin after applying serum or mixing a few drops into my moisturizer.”
KORA Organics
Milky Mushroom Ultra-Hydrating Mask
“This mask is so nourishing and restorative. I use it every night as a hydrating sleeping mask, and my skin feels so bouncy and hydrated in the morning. I also use it as a quick, flash 10-minute hydrating mask before events or photo shoots. It plumps, soothes, and gives me that bouncy, radiant look.”
KORA Organics
Turmeric Brightening Pore Scrub + Exfoliating Mask
“This is like a facial in a tube. I use it most days, either as a quick scrub, or [I] leave it on for 10 minutes for a more detoxifying treatment. It instantly brightens, smooths, and refreshes my skin. It’s the product I reach for before events or photo shoots.”
“I’ve used Slip eye masks for years, they’re a must-have in my sleep ritual. The pure silk feels so luxurious and gentle on my skin, and it really helps block out light so I can fully unwind. I wear one every night and even take it with me when I travel. It’s the ultimate little luxury for better sleep and waking up refreshed.”
doTERRA
Doterra Lavender Essential Oil
“I’ve used aromatherapy for as long as I can remember. Peppermint is energizing, sandalwood is grounding, rose is nurturing, and lavender is incredibly calming. I diffuse them around the house, use them in baths, as a fragrance, or for self-massage.”
Primally Pure
Body Dry Brush
“Dry body brushing is one of my favorite morning rituals. I do it before I shower to stimulate circulation, support lymphatic drainage, and exfoliate my skin. It wakes up my body and feels so invigorating, like a little spa treatment at home. I follow it with the Kora Enriched Body Lotion ($59) and Noni Glow Body Oil ($67) for soft, nourished skin.”
