Tell yourself you’re cute with Andreja Pejic

Stretch to Donna Summers and blend your smoothie to Kylie Minogue - the newest face of Kérastase model Andreja Pejic talks us through her beauty essentials and the soundtrack to go with it.

My morning beauty routine is ...
Wake up, meditate to Concentration Maximum on Spotify, stretch to Donna Summer, make my matcha and spirulina smoothie to Kylie Minogue. Then I cleanse my face with iS Clinical, [the] Youth Eye Complex is a serum by them I'm currently obsessed with but I apply it all over my face. On top of that, Clinique's Broad Spectrum SPF50 sunscreen. After putting a look on I tell myself "you're cute" in the mirror and I'm out.

My night beauty routine is …
At night time it's all about a non caffeinated herbal tea. Tea I feel like is very important for the skin. I watch a lot of Golden Age of Hollywood films to inspire me to be more beautiful. Paula's Choice Intensive Recovery cream or the Drunk Elephant Polypepetide cream. I look for ingredients like Retinol, VitaminC, Niacinamide. In the winter I'll exfoliate with AHA but not in the summer.
