She Takes Care Of Her Skin

I like to double cleanse by removing my makeup with makeup-remover wipes, followed by washing my face and then applying retinol serum.”
She Loves Yoga
Kerry loves practicing yoga. She talked about this in an interview with Jay Shetty. “One of the first tools that helped to bring me back to myself was yoga. It was one of the first times that I remember being still in my body in Savasana at the end of that first yoga class I took in high school and weeping because I felt really present in my body.”
She Learned To Love Herself
Kerry opened up about her recovery from an unhealthy relationship with exercise and food to Essence. “Learning how to love myself and my body is a lifelong process,” she says. “But I definitely don’t struggle the way I used to. Therapy helped me realize that maybe it’s okay for me to communicate my feelings. Instead of literally stuffing them down with food, maybe it’s okay for me to express myself.”
