1. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Kardashian has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She shared some of her tips with Byrdie. “I have psoriasis. It was triggered when I was 25. I try to avoid flare-ups by making sure I’m taking the best care of my skin from the inside out, by living a healthy lifestyle and eating plant-based as much as possible. It’s part of the reason that skincare is such a vital part of my self-care routine.”

2. She Educates Herself

Kardashian tells Byrdie that she does a lot of research on skincare to not just take better care of her skin, but to make better products in her line. “I’ve always had a passion for skincare and makeup, but my psoriasis diagnosis really inspired me to learn more about my skin and the best ways to take care of it. I’ve had the incredible opportunity to learn from some of the top dermatologists and estheticians over the years, and I created Skkn by Kim because I wanted to share what I’ve learned to help bridge the gap between these experts and people at home seeking high-quality skincare solutions.”

3. She Loves Hyaluronic Acid

Kardashian tells Byrdie that she loves to use hyaluronic acid. She even uses the ingredient in her products. “Hyaluronic acid has made such a difference in my skin. I started using it a few years ago, and it plumped up my skin and kept it hydrated. When I created our Hyaluronic Acid Serum ($90), I wanted it to be like a drink of water for the skin. It’s formulated with multi-molecular weights of hyaluronic acid–the low molecular weight delivers below-the-surface hydration, while the high molecular weight delivers immediate hydration to the surface of the skin. It delivers long-lasting moisture while reducing the appearance of fine lines.”

4. She Exfoliates

One of Kardashian’s biggest skincare tips is exfoliating. She tells Byrdie that she uses her exfoliator regularly. “I use it about twice a week after my Cleanser. I used to not understand the value of a scrub, but exfoliating your face is so important, and our Exfoliator has both mechanical and enzymatic exfoliators to help remove dead skin cells and promote skin resurfacing.”

5. She Weight Trains

One thing Kardashian likes to do to keep herself in shape is weight train. She shared an Instagram story from the gym of herself using weights. Kardashian revealed in the caption that she likes to take breaks from lifting heavy weights. "We’re back in the gym heavy! I would say every six months I take two weeks off from lifting. Sometimes you just need a break to recharge and chill, but then I miss it so much and feel so good to be back at it."

According to this post on her website, Poosh, Kardashian “is a jump rope beast.” The reality star revealed that she likes to jump rope for five minutes each day. Jumping rope isn’t just for kids anymore; it is a great way to keep both your body and your mind in shape. According to this study from Ace Fitness, “Jumping rope can help improve your cognitive function. This is because jumping rope involves learning new motor patterns, which improves the nervous system communication between your brain, wrists and lower leg muscles. This, in turn, helps to improve your overall cognitive function.”

2. She Drinks Extra Virgin Olive Oil In The Mornings

Kardashian is open about liking to drink certain things and take supplements. She says that she usually does this first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. According to this post from Poosh, one of the things Kardashian likes to drink in the mornings is extra virgin olive oil, or EVOO. Studies have shown that drinking EVOO in the mornings can reduce inflammation, improve your skin, and help with weight loss.

3. She Got Muscle Testing Done

Kardashian revealed to E! News that she and her family decided to make a lot of changes to their diets. She says that they decided to do a series of muscle tests, which revealed a lot of sensitivities to food. “We had muscle testing done, which showed we all have sensitivities to corn, gluten and dairy,” she says. Kardashian then began to adjust her family’s diets accordingly.

4. She Stays Hydrated

In an interview with Byrdie, Kardashian revealed a lot of her biggest wellness, diet, and weight loss secrets. She says that one of her most important tips is staying hydrated and drinking enough water. “Whenever I notice that I’m feeling bloated or like I need to step up [my body] or something, it’s always because I’m not drinking enough water,” she says. “When I step up the water, I’ll instantly lose like two pounds in one day.”

5. She Indulges Once In A While

Kardashian does try to eat as healthily as she can, but she also says that she isn’t afraid to indulge once in a while. “Even though I eat healthy most of the time, I think it’s really important to have something sweet,” she wrote on her app. “Of course, I derail from eating healthy sometimes, because you have to live your life!” Kardashian does say that she does keep her indulgences somewhat healthy, one of her favorites being a pudding made from chia seeds.

Kim Kardashian certainly knows how to steam up social media. The reality star shared a smoking hot swimsuit selfie on Thursday, taken from the Bahamas where she is currently vacationing with close pal Pete Davidson. “Sweet sweet fantasy baby,” she captioned the snap, referencing lyrics from the Mariah Carey song "Fantasy." In just over an hour the photo amassed over one million likes on Instagram. How does the 41-year-old keep her body in the break-the-internet form?

1. She Lifts Weights

Kim has worked out with tons of trainers, but really transformed her body when she started training with bodybuilder Melissa Alcantara, who busts her famous butt in the gym. "I’ve been working out really hardcore with a bodybuilder for one year. September is our one-year anniversary,” Kim revealed to E! News in 2018, via People. Ever since, the duo have been lifting “heavy weights,” per Kim with Alcantara adding to Women’s Health that 85% of their training is done with weights.

2. She Works Out Every Day That Ends in “Y”

If you want Kim’s body, you will have to work hard for it—every day. “I work out about an hour-and-a-half every single day,” she confessed to E! News. "The Department of Health and Human Services recommends that healthy adults include aerobic activity and strength training in their fitness plans, specifically:

• At least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week, or an equivalent combination of moderate and vigorous aerobic activity
• Strength training exercises of all the major muscle groups at least twice a week," says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Has a “No Excuses” Policy

Kim doesn’t make excuses to miss her workouts. Her trainer explained to People in 2020 that Kim shows up no matter what. "Just like anybody else, there are days where Kim's not really feeling it, but she will do it," she said. "Then there are a lot of days when she's killing it! She never questions the stuff that I make her do, she's just like, 'Okay,' and I love that."

4. She Sprints
