Helena Christensen’s AM/PM Routine

…but I haven’t really had a lot of it since my son [Mingus] was born, 19 years ago! I typically wake around 7.30am, feed my dog Kuma and then take him for a walk to my local coffee bar [Christensen is based in Manhattan]. My favorite breakfast is porridge cooked with milk and topped off with banana, brown sugar and a big lump of melting butter in the middle.

…so I always make it up before I leave the house. Every morning, even on the coldest of days, I air out my room and shake out my comforter and pillows.

…I wash my face with Ole Henriksen Face The Truth Gel Cleanser and tone with Christine Chin Hydrating Toner. Then I use Joanna Vargas Rescue Serum, Lumity Natural Anti-Ageing Facial Oil and moisturize with Nimue ai Day Cream. I use coconut oil on my body and always finish with a spritz of Strangelove NYC Lost In Flowers perfume. If I’m working from home, I love to apply a face mask.

…Kjaer Weis Cream Blush and Bobbi Brown Pressed Powder are my go-to products. I like ’50s-style eyeliner – I use Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner because it stays on all day (and night).

…and yoga twice a week. They keep my body strong, firm and toned. I started enjoying working out when I began to understand the anatomical aspect of it and learned how to recruit muscle groups.

…whenever I go on vacation, I have to pretend I’m traveling with other passengers just so I can get away with more see-through bags and 100ml bottles in my carry-on.

…with the fire on, a movie, a glass of wine and some cheese. I love a bath and put in salts and Herbivore Coconut Milk Bath Soak. I like to light a candle and ponder life and death as I soak.

…when he was younger; now it’s three times a week. Cooking is calming and I love the scents it creates in my home. My signature dishes are tilapia fish stew, rock-shrimp pasta and Moroccan chicken. I’m always conscious of buying fresh and organic farm food, but I also love ordering in.

…but it’s not a massive issue for me if I forget. I cleanse with Joanna Vargas Vitamin C Face Wash – it is so delicious.

…right now, I’m listening to artists including King Krule, Coleman Hawkins, Tei Shi, The The, Talk Talk, The White Stripes, Alice Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Lil Peep, PJ Harvey, Meek Mill, Nephew and Depeche Mode. The list is long!

…you’ll find a Stephen King novel, my glasses and Strangelove NYC Dead Of Night perfume, which is super seductive and full of the purest oud and Damascus rose.
