Ren has a large following. For that reason, she is very cautious about what she puts on the internet, as she wants to be a role model. She tells Glamour that this includes what she publicly says about skincare. “I've made it a purpose of mine to break the taboo [when it comes to treatments]. It's weird when celebrities say, ‘Oh, yeah, I just used this cream.’ It's like, ‘No, you don't.’ I want to help girls understand that…I think it's spiritual and so empowering to be like, ‘I literally can be whoever I want.’”

2. She Works With A Facialist

Ren works with facialist, Sonya Dakar, to help with her skincare. “She's helped me understand the types of substances that work on my skin,” Ren says to Glamour. “She came on and taught a skin course to my community, and she broke down why we need vitamins, why we need hyaluronic acid. Then you don't have to rely on one brand. You can be like, ‘I'm just looking for these exact ingredients.’ It puts the power back in your hands.”

3. She’s Consistent With Skincare

For Ren, skincare is all about consistency. “It's similar to how I feel about working out,” she says to Glamour. “It's not about doing intense products or harsh things. It's really just about consistency and making sure that when I wash my face, it's 100%. If I have to, I'll wash my face twice. That's what I think really took my skin to the next level: when I realized how hard it is to get everything off. It's more of training your skin or body to be on a certain regimen.”

4. She Cleanses

Ren shared some of her favorite skincare tips and tricks with Glamour. “I use two facial cleansers,” she says. “One of them is the Sensi Wash by Sonya Dakar, and the other one is the Blueberry Rebalancing 5.5 Cleanser from Innisfree. The Sensi wash is made with oat milk, so it has this milky feel. That doesn't actually get the makeup off; it just cleanses my face. If have makeup on, I use something soapy that's going to get rid of everything and that's the Innisfree.”

5. She Does Workouts She Enjoys

Ren makes sure to not only workout, but do workouts that she enjoys. She tells Grazia, “Starting my day off with a workout helps me to be my most productive self. I have been a ballerina for 20 years, so ballet is my first love when it comes to movement. I also love long walks and hikes, yoga, and surfing. For me, when I can move through an activity that I love, I enjoy the time spent doing it rather than it feeling like something I need to check off of my to-do list.”

Alexis Ren is one of the most successful current models and now she's off to conquer new lands in Hollywood. “I realized acting is connected a lot with regulating your nervous system, being present, having a connection with God in that way. It’s a very spiritual experience because you have to get out of your own way in order to let whatever’s supposed to happen happen,” she told Ocean Drive magazine, the cover of which she shared on Instagram. In the photos, she posed in a pale blue one piece with white stripes. She captioned the post, “Honored to be on the cover of Ocean Drive.” How does she stay so fit?

Ren tells Yahoo that she used to do things to please others, instead of putting herself first. Ren says that she’s now trying to overcome this aspect of her personality, and wants to give her followers an authentic portrayal of herself. “I was a huge people pleaser; it's something that I had to overcome," Ren said. "I was creating essentially an illusion. It's not real. So, I was like okay, I don't really want to be part of an illusion anymore.”

2. She Wants To Mentor Others

Ren is a mentor, and has her own community for wellness and fitness called We Are Warriors. Ren says that she was inspired to start this program because she wants to help and mentor other people. "I saw there was a huge lack of mentorship within the education system - that's how I have gotten to where I am, that's how I am who I am," Ren said to Yahoo. "We find pieces of ourselves within older people who have accomplished what we would like to accomplish, so if we don't have those reflections, then we don't know what to grasp onto, because we are just a product of our environment.”

3. She’s Not In It For The Money

Ren may be an influencer, but she’s not the influencer who wants to sell you products. She tells ELLE that she doesn’t do paid ads on Instagram, and wants to focus on giving her followers an actual look into her life. “Any of the typical offers have all come to me, whether it's a product for tea, or teeth whitening, or weight loss. And these brands have a lot of money. But [paid posts are] the complete opposite of what I'm trying to do."

4. She Does A Quick Ab-Workout Each Day

Ren tells NewBeauty.com that she makes sure that she keeps up her fitness routine when she’s on the road. She says that she likes to find local places to either walk or run, and brings workout gear with her. “I have a rule, I take the stairs everywhere; I’ll even skip the escalators in airports. I try to do things where I’m staying active all the time. I also like to travel with my TRX and do these really intense ab exercises with it. When I’m in the tropics, I use the beach as my gym. So, morning swims or running on the beach are my favorite.”

She captioned the post, “Happy and light as if there's no strife amen.” She also shared these photos of herself wading in the ocean, captioning it, “Wonder where I am?”

2. She Rides Jet-Skis

Swimming isn’t the only activity Lima does at the beach to stay active. She likes to get her heart racing and adrenaline flowing. Lima likes to ride jet-skis at the beach. Lima posted this set of photos on Instagram of herself jet-skiing in Praia das Toninhas. She captioned the post, “Fucking beautiful you know.”

3. She Plays With Dogs

4. She Benefits From the Sun

“Sometimes a little bit of sunshine is the best medicine. A walk in the park or a bike ride probably puts you in a good mood, and a moderate amount of sun is also good for your physical health. While you’re outside soaking up rays, your body is busy making vitamin D. That’s good news, because this hormone that’s boosted by exposure to sunlight plays an important role in women’s health,” says Johns Hopkins.

5. She Loves the Beach

“Beaches provide many recreational opportunities for millions of people. Boating, fishing, swimming, walking, beachcombing, bird-watching, playing and sunbathing are among the common activities beachgoers enjoy. Beaches provide protection to residents living near the ocean by acting as a buffer against the high winds and waves of powerful storms or rough seas,” says the EPA.
