Emily Ratajkowski is an extremely successful model, writer, and clothing designer. She released a collection of essays entitled My Body. Her clothing line is called Inamorata. Ratajkowski shares a lot of gorgeous photos on social media. In a recent Instagram post, she is seen in an orange swimsuit, a swimsuit top, and a black halter top. She captioned the post, “Summer of feeling the context of all in which I live and what came before me.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Emily Ratajkowski stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Prioritizes Skincare

Ratajkowski has amazing skin. She tells Vogue that she has learned to prioritize skincare. “I have gotten a lot better at being good with my skin. In my early twenties, I was just like, ‘I’m not dealing with this’, but now I put on sunscreen, use toner, and moisturizer. I have a whole routine. Then I get dressed—hopefully quickly, because my closet is relatively organized, and then I’m out the door.”

2. She Takes Care Of Her Hair

Ratajkowski shared her favorite hair products in her Vogue interview. I always say—even off the record—that Kérastase really did change my hair. When I signed [to be an ambassador] with them about five years ago, I didn’t know about good hair products and while I’m actually pretty decent at make-up, I’m not great at hair. I always just thought I had bad hair and that’s what it was. What’s great is that now I don’t have to do much to my hair because it’s all in the care and maintenance. I love the Extentioniste line because it makes my hair grow really fast! I’m somebody whose hair gets to a certain point and then breaks, but with that shampoo, it gets to a longer point. I also really love the oil—it’s lightweight and smells amazing.”

3. She Has A Nighttime Routine

Ratajkowski shared her nightly skincare routine with Vogue. “I wash my face every night—well, I try to. I use Bioderma—it’s a French drugstore product that’s an amazing makeup remover. It’s the only one that just gets it done and doesn’t feel like it leaves something on your skin, or dries it out. When I’ve washed my face, then I use Biologique Recherche P50—some people don’t love it, but I am somebody for whom retinol is too extreme, so P50 is a happy medium. It balances my skin and I layer it with a pretty thick moisturizer.”

4. She Loves Zumba

Ratajkowski revealed in an interview with InStyle that she goes to STRONG by Zumba classes. “I'm one of those people who, if I go to the gym by myself, there's a 50/50 chance of me actually working out and really pushing myself, so the class environment works really, really well for me,” she said. “I am also someone who, even in a class, will get chatty and [distracted]. I think that’s the great thing about STRONG — the music keeps me really focused and in the zone. You just feel like you're, you know, Superwoman really pushing herself. You end up working harder and it's a better, more intense workout, without even noticing.”

5. She Gets Enough Sleep

Ratajkowski shared her secrets for getting enough sleep in her InStyle interview. “For me, the way I sleep afterward is one of the main reasons to work out. I am always on my phone working and I think that's affected my sleep. I'm also really light-sensitive. When I work out, it's better than taking a melatonin. Because my body has worked hard, my brain finally rests and I think that is so valuable in this day and age — not to sound like an old geezer, but truly I feel that way."

Emily Ratajkowski is taking some time to enjoy the sun, sea, and sand at the beach—and she’s got the selfies to prove it. Ratajkowski, 32, shared a picture of herself sunbathing in a brown and white patterned bikini, her tan legs covered with sand against a background of blue skies and ocean water. The model is thriving while extending her creative endeavors into writing and podcasts—how does she have the energy? Here are 5 ways Ratajkowski is living her best life.

1. No Dieting

Ratajkowski’s weight is directly related to her state of mind, and she refuses to diet. “When I’m stressed or going through a tough time I naturally eat less,” she says. “And the reverse [happens] when I’m happy. My relationship with food is inseparable from my level of happiness.”

2. Yes To Botox

Ratajkowski is glad women are being more open about cosmetic procedures such as Botox and fillers. “For people who don't live in New York or L.A., Botox seems really extreme,” she says. “But even now, all my friends in San Diego, my hometown, they get Botox. It's so normal. I mean, I was terrified. But I was also like, everybody looks great. My best friends were getting Botox and I wanted to try it. With plastic surgery in general, the way we talk about what's normal and taboo has completely changed. It's what I mentioned on the [High Low with EmRata podcast] episode. Like, nose job check. Even Doja Cat tweeted about how she's going to get surgery to get a breast lift. I think there's something really nice about how open women are being.”

3. She Loves Her Moles and Freckles

Ratajkowski keeps her makeup routine light, avoiding heavy foundations, and emphasizes her moles and freckles. “I try not to use that much on my skin,” she says. “I don't use foundation. I'll use concealer, but it ends up being rubbed out over my whole face. I use Gucci Westman's bronzer stick. Then I use Patrick Ta's blush. I apply it with my fingers, then on the center of my cheeks and over my nose. I have a Milk highlighter that has never run out, I've had it for years and God bless it. I use an eyebrow pencil on my lips to line them and I also use that to darken my moles and freckles.”

4. Her Number 1 Tip For Women

Ratajkowski’s best tip for women is to have self-confidence. “I think women are still terribly lacking [in this area] compared with men,” she says. “We have this internal critic and we have a hard time silencing it. We are afraid of what people will say and of appearing stupid when we open our mouths. We focus on what others will think of us – badly, of course. However, most of the time they probably think… nothing at all!"

5. Writing Changed Her Life

Ratajkowski says writing made a difference in figuring out who she really was. “When I started writing, that helped,” she says. “I wasn't fulfilled in my career and in my life. It was a really hard time for me. I had made all this money. I was famous. I was 'successful' in all of these ways that people tell you should make you happy. Realizing that I wasn't and I wasn't fulfilled, I had to figure out what would make me happy.”

Model, fashion designer, activist, and author Emily Ratajkowski wrote the book about her body—titled, appropriately, My Body—and she isn’t afraid to own it. She posted another stunning photo to her Instagram story of herself posing outside next to a car. Ratajkowksi wore a dark ensemble—long coat over swimsuit—and looked great.

2. She Eats A Balanced Diet

Ratajkowski says that when it comes to her diet, she tries to eat healthy, but she isn’t afraid to indulge. She says that she tries to balance her diet and eat a variety of things. "I like to keep it really balanced to give my body energy and also be healthy," she said to Elle. "I wouldn't say I am the type of girl who craves Doritos but I definitely love a good cupcake sometimes. You know what I mean? Or a croissant in the morning. I think it is like really important to give yourself a break."

3. She Works Out With Others
