Jess Hunt is a fashion influencer and the founder of Refy. She has a large following on social media. Hunt recently took a Pilates class to help keep herself in shape. She shared a mirror selfie on her Instagram story from the studio. In it, Hunt modeled a chic set of workout clothes.
She Does Pilates
Hunt likes to do Pilates to keep herself in shape. The Cleveland Clinic states that Pilates has a lot of health benefits. “Some of the principles that guide the Pilates method include concentration on each movement, use of the abdomen and low back muscles, flowing, precise movement patterns and controlled breathing. Depending on the exercise, Pilates routines can be performed on specially designed apparatuses, including a bed-like structure called a reformer, or more simply on a mat or blanket. Pilates is a form of strength training, but it doesn’t look like some of the other strength training exercises you might be familiar with. Pilates focuses more on improving muscle tone than building muscles, but the result is similar: greater stability and endurance. Pilates isn’t going to bulk you up — if anything, it’s designed to cultivate a longer, leaner look. Still, it can lay a strong physical foundation for muscle-building activities — and may even reduce your likelihood of injury.”
She Prioritizes Self-Care
Hunt shared some of her wellness secrets with Net-A-Porter. “Sunday is my self-care day,” she says. “Or, rather, my self-care evening. I have a shower and use a textured exfoliating mitt and then cover myself with Laura Mercier’s Ambre Vanillé Souffle Body Crème. Or, if I’m having a bath, I’ll use lots of oil. I love to use a mask, usually from 111Skin, either for brightening or hydrating; and I always have

Hunt shared some of her skincare secrets with Net-A-Porter. “I have super-dry skin but, a year ago, I went to see a dermatologist, who put me on an incredible SkinCeuticals regimen and it’s made my skin so much better,” she said. “I simply cleanse and then use its Hydrating B5 serum, Phyto Corrective serum and Ultra Facial Defense SPF50+ Facial Sunscreen. I also love the Ren Clean Skincare Radiance Brightening Dark Circle Eye Cream – it works, instantly.”
She Stays Hydrated
Hunt tells Net-A-Porter that she makes sure to keep her skin hydrated. “On a ‘bad face day’ my skin can get really dry, so I use a richer cream – the SkinCeuticals Epidermal Repair treatment really helps me – I’ll put it all over my face like a face mask, as it just fixes my skin. I also drink loads of water – if I’m looking puffy then I know I have to drink more. And I always do my Brow Sculpt – good brows really help freshen the face!”
She Doesn’t Diet
Hunt tells Net-A-Porter that she doesn’t like to diet. “I try not to follow a diet as I find it restrictive and it can control your life. I used to model and was so conscious of my weight and what I ate. Some days I would only eat almonds – I was so miserable, but I thought that was what models did. I try to eat intuitively now and breakfast is my favorite meal. But, if I wake up and I’m not hungry, I don’t eat until about 11am.”
