At the “Dior Skincare Talk”, a videoconference that brought together elite beauty experts, including A-list guest star Gisele Bündchen (the face of Dior's Capture Totale line), the health-conscious model revealed her everyday skincare tips for rejuvenating her skin.
1 / Vogue: A favorite food or food supplement for energizing your skin?
Gisele Bündchen: I think we are what we eat. And that food should be our medicine. It is very important to drink plenty of water and eat food that comes from the earth, like fruits and vegetables, rather than processed food. All of this is reflected directly on the skin.

2 / A trick or a beauty ritual you use to hydrate your skin?
Water is your best ally to have beautiful skin, so you need to drink plenty of it. I also rely on electrolytes, which help better absorb water and increase hydration tenfold. I take a drink with a lemon flavor which is a very good bonus. Rest is also essential since a lack of sleep is marked immediately on the features of the face.
3 / A yoga pose or a breathing exercise to oxygenate your complexion?

There is one breathing exercise that I did a lot of when I was prone to panic attacks that still helps me refocus today: alternate breathing. You just have to inhale, block the right nostril to hold your breath for a few moments and then exhale from the left nostril. Then, the same with the left nostril. You can continue the exercise for 1, 5, or 10 minutes depending on the time you have available, as soon as a need for calm is felt ...
4 / A professional secret for achieving a supermodel glow?
I always remove makeup with organic coconut oil (the same one I use for cooking) because it is, in my opinion, the easiest way to remove all traces of makeup. I put it all-over on my face, remove it with a cotton ball and then rinse it all off with lukewarm water. Then I intensely nourish my skin with a good moisturizer, before applying makeup. This is the secret to making it healthier and smoother. And of course, drink lots of water!

5 / Your morning and evening skincare routine for slowing down the effects of time on the skin?
In the morning, 1 / I cleanse my skin, 2 / I spray my face with an aromatherapy mist in which I incorporate different ingredients as needed, whether it is rose or lavender. 3 / I apply the serum from the Capture Totale line by Dior, Super Potent Serum, because it leaves my skin healthy, hydrated, and plump. Living in Florida, with humid air, I don't really need a moisturizer besides the serum. In the evening, on the other hand, I clean my skin, sometimes I exfoliate it, then I draw my serum, a moisturizer, from time to time a mask, an eye contour, and I'm ready to go to bed. It is very important to put on your moisturizer at night so that the skin has time to absorb it. Even more essential: surrounding yourself with positive thoughts, having constructive conversations, reading and watching inspiring things ... Because beauty is not limited to what you put on the surface of the skin, but also what you decide to bring to your body and your mind. And then there is love, the love that we have for ourselves and for others.
