DENMARK-BORN BEAUTY, Helena Christensen, is a timeless icon. In spite of her global fame and decades-spanning modeling, photography and fashion career, this former Miss Universe winner still looks, feels and lives completely true to herself.
Grounded and gorgeous, Helena’s beauty routine matches her outward vibe. Though she’s undoubtably picked up a few industry insights from working on campaigns for Chanel, Prada, and Karl Lagerfeld himself, Helena keeps it simple and classic: red lips and a messy bun, plenty of water, and coffee grinds for a totally natural (and basically free) exfoliator.
