1. She Uses Face Washes

Jeffries has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She revealed some of her secrets in an interview with Allure. Jeffries says that she likes to use facial washes and moisturizers. “I use my Clarisonic in the shower and alternate between using just face wash or an additional scrub. I love simple ones like St. Ives. I'll use the Clearogen Acne Regimen and then the toner, too. I struggle with acne sometimes, and it really helps to prevent it. After that, I’ll use a sensitive moisturizer by Cerave — it has SPF in it so I don’t need an additional sunscreen.”

2. She Puts Charcoal Tablets In Her Water

Jeffries makes sure to stay hydrated. And she also has a secret to making her water more effective. “I also drink a lot of water, I put an activated charcoal tablet in there, shake it up, and drink those three times a week,” she says to Allure. “The charcoal also has the same effect where it pulls out all the toxins out of your mouth, because charcoal absorbs all the toxins in the body. If you look at it it’s very porous, so it can absorb all the toxins in your mouth and absorb stains off your teeth.”

3. She Keeps Her Hair Healthy

Jeffries has amazing hair, and she tells Allure that she tries to do as little damage to it as possible. “I try to avoid heat as much as possible, so I do a lot of hairstyles that are heatless. Whenever I do my hair curly, I keep scrunching it with my head flipped over in a towel until it’s 70% dry. When I do a big, volumized natural look, I'll blow-dry my hair with a 2.5 inch round brush.”

4. She Uses Face Masks

Jeffries tells Allure that one of her favorite skincare products are different face masks. “I’ll do my face masks and eye masks at night sometimes. I like to try out new masks almost every time. I’ve been trying the L’Oreal clay masks lately. There's a charcoal one, a red one, and a green one with eucalyptus.”

5. She Eats Healthy

Jeffries makes sure to eat healthy. She revealed some of her secrets to the DailyMail. “I have problems with a lot of different foods and when I eat them I don’t feel so good,” she says. “I try to stick to exactly what I’m supposed to eat so that I don’t feel sick and then I just stay in shape because everything’s pretty healthy…I try to stay away from sugar as much as possible.”

Chantel Jeffries works hard and plays hard, living her best life on vacation at the beach. The DJ shared a snap of herself posing on the sand in a red bikini, with beach umbrellas and blue skies in the background. Jeffries is relaxing after performing a set poolside at Strawberry Moon in Miami Beach, making this a busy summer for the star. So how does she have the energy? Here are 5 ways Jeffries prioritizes her health and wellness, and stays on the move.

1. No To Dairy, Yes To Water and Vitamins

Jeffries avoids dairy and stays hydrated. “For me beauty starts being healthy inside out, I think it’s really important for me to drink a lot of water, exercise to have healthier skin,” she says. “For my skin care I use CLEARGEN, it keeps my skin glowing. For my beauty products, obviously Chantelle XO eyebrows is very important, that is the main focus of my face. I also really like eyelash extensions! I mostly make sure to drink a lot of water, I have to stay away from dairy because it makes me breakout. I take supplements – a lot of vitamins!”

2. Cardio and Weights

Jeffries does cardio and weights whenever she can to maintain her physique. “I try to work out almost every day when I’m in town,” she says. “When I’m traveling, it’s kind of hard. I mostly do cardio and lift weights and work at Equinox – I like it there because I usually sweat in a steam room post workout. I put coconut oil on my hair quite a bit – my hair is usually really dry so I have to make sure to put a lot of moisture on it.”

3. She Plays Golf

Jeffries loves to play golf when she gets the opportunity. “We know that the moderate physical activity that golf provides increases life expectancy, has mental health benefits, and can help prevent and treat more than 40 major chronic diseases such as heart attacks, stroke, diabetes, breast and colon cancer,” says Dr Andrew Murray from the University of Edinburgh. “Evidence suggests golfers live longer than non-golfers, enjoying improvements in cholesterol levels, body composition, wellness, self-esteem and self-worth. Given that the sport can be played by the very young to the very old, this demonstrates a wide variety of health benefits for people of all ages.”

4. Adventurous Spirit

Jeffries, who has a background in modeling, is passionate about trying new things. “I would describe myself as energetic and adventurous,” she says. “I love trying new things. Keeping life interesting is what it's all about. There aren’t too many things I won’t try at least once. Oh, and I love to make people laugh. Being 5’6” I never really thought of being a model.”

5. Her Beauty Tricks

Jeffries’ beauty tricks are all about giving the illusion of a natural look. “I’ve learned so many tricks, but if you’re on the go and you’re a little greasy, you can always grab those toilet seat covers and use them to blot your skin,” she says. “That comes in handy a lot. Hair spray on a spoolie brush or toothbrush works really well too. And one of my favorite looks is faux freckles, because it makes you look like you’re wearing less makeup. And I love applying your makeup setting spray before you highlight, because it makes the highlighter really show. And I do that before my mascara, so it doesn’t make my mascara run.”

Chanel once photographed her diet plan for a friend and shared it on Twitter with the world. On it was a list of healthy things to heat (avocado, eggs, chicken, greens), a list of things to enjoy in moderation (bananas, berries) and a list of no-nos (rice, bread, high-sugar foods, dairy). It was a perfect balance of lean proteins, healthy fats and foods high in fiber.

3. This is Her Day of Meals

For breakfast, she enjoys “eggs with avocado and turkey bacon or chicken sausage” or “unsweetened coconut yogurt with granola, stevia, chia seeds and cinnamon.” For lunch, she might have “grilled salmon with carrots and avocado, quinoa or sweet potatoes” or a “chicken bowl with cauliflower rice and broccoli” or a “turkey burger with avocado, lettuce wrap.” For dinner, she may have “chicken or ground turkey tacos with corn tortilla or lettuce cups, sushi or turkey meatloaf.”

Chanel enjoys rice cakes with almond butter or a vegan protein shake with blueberries and almond butter. “Among the biggest benefits of switching from peanut butter to almond butter? You can enjoy significantly more calcium in every spoonful,” says our sister site Eat This, Not That! "Almond butter is an excellent plant-based calcium source. It provides about seven times more calcium than peanut butter," registered dietitian Amy Richter, MS, RDN, LDN, owner and founder of The Acne Dietitian, told the site.

5. She Avoids Dairy and Gluten

“I have problems with a lot of different foods and when I eat them I don’t feel so good so I try to stick to exactly what I’m supposed to eat so that I don’t feel sick and then I just stay in shape because everything’s pretty healthy,” she has said. “I try to stay away from sugar as much as possible… I don’t eat dairy or gluten because I’m allergic, so I just think during the holidays, being active and going for walks and stuff like that because you’re eating so much. Whenever I’m home, every time I finish a large meal I like to go for a nice walk. It’s good to digest your food and clear your head anyways.”
