1. She’s Cautious Of The Messages She Sends

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 a swimsuit model and former Dancing with the Stars competitor. Naturally, this means that she’s into keeping fit, and she isn’t afraid to show it off, even when she’s not doing a shoot. Ren posted a new swimsuit shot to her Instagram story. She wore a leopard print number. She shared another photo in Alo yoga clothes. "Crushin on," she captioned it. How does she stay so fit?

Ren tells Page Six that she is a big fan of journaling to help with her mental health and wellness. “Journaling is as necessary to me as having coffee in the morning. My godmother calls it ‘taking out the trash,’ because journaling has a similar effect as meditation. It cleanses your mind from recycled thoughts and shows you what your patterns are.”

2. She Has Her Own Wellness Support Group

Wellness is very important to Ren. So much so that she started her own wellness support group, called We Are Warriors. "My goal for this is that it becomes so powerful on its own, that it will stand on its own," Ren told Insider. "I don't want We Are Warriors to be associated with me. I want it be so authentic and whole and powerful that it stands on its own, and then we just have these amazing leaders and people in spaces."

3. She Does A 10 Minute Ab Workout

Despite being a model, Ren tells Glamour that she doesn’t feel pressured to look a certain way. She also says that she wants other girls to feel the same. “I want to be that girl to be like, ‘No, get the nose job. If you want it, get it. Don't feel like you're being peer-pressured into society's beauty standard. You're doing what you know is going to make you happy, and that should be celebrated.”

5. She’s Consistent With Skincare
