Christensen revealed her wellness secrets to IntoTheGloss. She says that she does a variety of different things to stay in shape. “I box to work out, and I’ve been doing it for 12 years, three times a week. If I’m traveling I might run or swim and go to some yoga classes. I always thought [exercise] was annoying, but now I really dig it.”
Christensen has amazing hair, and she makes sure to take care of it. She revealed some of her secrets to IntoTheGloss. “My hair is very good for the [modeling] business as it’s easy to work with and has a dry texture. But in real life all of that doesn’t work. To keep it healthy, I’ve been using pure coconut oil as a mask, and I will leave it in for hours or all day if I’m working from home. Then I might spray in some leave-in conditioner or a little hair serum.”
Christensen says that she makes sure to take care of her skin. She tells IntoTheGloss that she gets facials on a regular basis. “I’ve been pushing myself to go to facials more because it really makes a difference. So I go to Joanna Vargas, who is wonderful. I really look forward to our sessions because we can talk forever, but the actual treatment is also amazing. I sent a few girlfriends there from Denmark, and they came out feeling super invigorated and fresh-looking. Maybe once a year, I’ll go to Christine Chin for full extractions of whatever is in there.”
Christensen opened up about her approach to eating and exercise in an interview. She says that she’s motivated by her favorite indulgences and to be healthier. “I work out to make myself stronger, so that my body can be healthy and I can move gracefully. [And so I can eat] pasta and cheese. I just would not be able to cut it out. Food is one of my favourite things in life.”
In the same interview, Christensen says that she struggles to meditate. However, she does have a secret to doing this. “I do a lot of things on my own, at my own pace, in my own little universe. When I’m in water, that’s the highest form of meditation I can experience for sure… I want to be in it and around it as much as possible. When I go upstate, as soon as I arrive I just run to the river and throw myself in. It makes me feel alive.”
