1. This is What Motivates Her

What motivates Kate? “For me, I know that when I'm active, when I'm healthy, when I'm strong, I feel so much better. It never leaves me. I get motivated to do different things, though. One of the things that I find helps a lot of people, number one, is support—like friends, apps, cute clothes. When you look good in something, it does motivate you to say, 'Okay, I'm going to take a walk' or 'I'm going to go for a hike' or 'You know what, I'm going to walk around the block.' The little, tiny things can be really motivating,” she told The Thirty.

2. This is Her Beauty Regimine

"When anyone asks me about my beauty regime, my answer is always sleep, water, and healthy food. For me, that's where it all starts. Beauty really comes from how we treat our bodies and how we honor ourselves," Hudson told Marie Claire.

3. She Worked Out at Home During Quarantine

“But the one thing that did change a lot for me is I got really excited about doing my own fitness—not feeling like I had to go anywhere but actually getting into all the different things that were out there. It was really fun dancing with people on live feeds, and then, I discovered so many different apps,” she told The Thirty. “I go back and forth between a couple of different things. We did just launch our fitness app for Fabletics, and they're doing a great job, but it's brand-new, so I'll talk about other apps as well. I like an app called Obé. What I love about Obé is it's hard. I find that in some apps, it's not a really hard workout. It seems I can get a real workout, especially with the 45-minute ones.”

4. This is Why She Started Her Own Supplement Line

She created her own supplement company, called INBLOOM. “I hate pills,” Hudson told ELLE.com. “And I actually like when things absorb quicker, so I created powders." Why? “I've been asked to do a lot of beauty [in my career], whether it be makeup or skincare, and I love all of it, but I'm a big believer in beauty being an inside-out experience,” she told the website. “And so I thought, what better way than to start with a system that I could create, that could support health and nutrition and wellness. I wanted to create an easy, accessible, premium program so that you're getting top ingredients, that there are no synthetics. I wanted everything to be very pure and very little filler.”

5. She Makes Me Time

“I do check out. I go away with [my family], usually to our ranch in Colorado. I sit and look out at the mountains," she told Women’s Health. "My doctor says I should be going away on my own, but I’ll do that when my kids are a little bit older.”

Kate Hudson works hard to have a fit figure at age 43. The star of this year's most hotly anticipated movie, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, just celebrated a very important holiday on Instagram.

1. She Uses A Variety Of Products

When it comes to skincare, Hudson believes in using a variety of different products. “Everything for me has always been about customizing my experience,” she tells Glamour. “I don’t just use one product. I use so many different products, and every day my skin is doing something different, whether it’s environmentally or hormonal. I try things all the time, I don’t know why I’m not a beauty blogger. I love using different products, I also think our skin needs different things. One skin-care routine, I don’t buy into it. That’s why I’ve never done a line myself. I would get bored of it.”

2. She Only Washes Her Face At Night

Hudson tells Glamour that she only washes her face once a day. She also says that she opts to do so at night. “​​My routine in the morning is easy. I don’t wash my face unless I had a night out that was a little more alcohol-heavy than I had hoped. I’ll use Egyptian Magic if I have any eye-makeup residue, anything that is sticky. But other than that, I don’t ever wash my face in the morning. I wash my face very thoroughly at night, and then I let my face oils actually hang out. I don’t want to strip my face too much.”

3. She Uses Face Masks

Another part of Hudson’s skincare routine is using face masks. “I formulated my mask so that I could use it at least three times a week,” she tells Glamour. “I love my masks so much, and I wanted one that I could customize, that I could make it heavier or something light. I find that when I’m working, I need masks more. I want to be able to apply it without having it be a once a week thing. If I’m on a set, my skin gets so tired, and it’s good to have something that can liven up your skin. So in that case, I would do a thinner version of my mask for three to five minutes.”

4. She Stays Hydrated First Thing In The Morning

Hudson broke down her daily routine and diet to Harper’s Bazaar. She says that she likes to start her day off by drinking water and celery juice. "First thing I do when I wake up is I stare at the wall and I think to myself, 'Am I going to get up now? Or am I going to get up 50-minutes from now? Or am I just going to go back to sleep?' And then I drink water. I do not eat first thing in the morning. The first thing I do in the morning is I have celery juice. And if anybody does celery juice on an empty stomach they know why—cause it's a joyous morning activity."

5. She Challenges Herself

Hudson makes sure to push herself when it comes to fitness. She says that she always wants to feel like she has accomplished something. "I'm definitely challenging myself in new ways, which I need," she tells People. "I like to be able to set new goals to see what I can accomplish, and I love how flexible and strong I feel after a good workout, especially doing Pilates, which never gets easier."
