ChroniquesDuVasteMonde: You sit a lot on the plane, are constantly making up heavily. How do you manage to have such a good skin anyway?
Elsa Hosk: Actually, I have a difficult skin that tends to acne spurts, especially in hormonal changes. At the moment, thank God, I have a good grip on this. However, I have learned to be very consistent with care and not to change products too often. What I do not work at all are typical acne products, as they usually dry out the skin and are very aggressive. On the other hand, natural oils such as argan oil or coconut oil are really good for me. They bring my skin into balance and also make a nice glow.
What is essential in your luggage when traveling?
Not much. When I fly, my skin needs moisture, so I prefer the "Aquasource Gel" from Biotherm. I also take Lipbalm with me. And a mild face cleansing gel for make-up removal. That's it. I paint my private very little.
Do you believe in a good-skin diet?
Yes of course. Although I eat what I feel like, I mainly eat organic food and try to avoid industrially processed foods. This is the healthiest in my opinion? also for the skin. In America, where I live, it is sometimes not so easy to get good products. The standard for food is much lower there than in Europe. In addition, I drink a lot, which does the skin very well. I start every day with half a liter of water. Since I do a lot of sports and therefore sweat a lot, I'm always really thirsty.
Is there something that never comes to your plate?
Foie gras, meaning foie gras. Since geese are fattened for that, I can not eat it.
And what do you always have in the fridge at home?
Honestly, nothing. I travel so much that everything in my fridge would spoil everything. That's why I usually eat in the restaurant. I love Italian food. And Swedish. My favorite food is smoked fish and Swedish meatballs. These are the best!
Even before the Victoria Secret Show?
Of course, then I'll be careful to eat a lot of protein and little fat. The muscles should be specially defined at the show. That's why I eat lean meat, beans, lentils or grilled fish in the weeks before. However, I've found that it does not help if I ban pizza or chocolate. Then I think about it all the time and eventually need fat and sugar. If I do not forbid it and know that I can theoretically sin at any time, I find it much easier to eat healthily.
This works only with a lot of sports to compensate, right?
That's true. But I also need a lot of sports to be happy.
What does a lot mean?
I train for about an hour five times a week, preferably every time something different. Otherwise I'm bored. In addition, the training is also more effective. Sometimes I do Pilates, then boxing. My friend also animated me to run. Although I'm still very slow, but recently even ran a half marathon. It was exhausting, but I felt like running a whole marathon the next time, preferably in New York. Maybe with a charity project like Fairgirls. The organization is committed against girl trafficking. Since I've seen a movie about it, the topic is very important to me and I support it.
They look very disciplined, were basketball pro. Can you let go and do nothing?
Yes, now I can. When I'm at home, I'm not doing anything. Then I lie on the sofa, watch with my friend "File X" or go eat. That's it. But that was a learning process. I used to want to be perfect, compared a lot with others and was very strict with me. By now I know that life is all about being happy. That's why I do not feel so much pressure anymore.
