Just the other week, we got a couple of awesome fitness pointers from the trainer to many a Victoria's Secret Angel on how to maintain an active, healthy lifestyle. So now it seems only appropriate that we share a recent chat we had with Behati Prinsloo, a longtime VS model and natural beauty advocate, on her daily beauty regimen. Behati is the face of the brand's newest fragrance launch, Angels Only, a fruity floral scent with notes of apple blossom, freesia, and violet. (But more on that later this week!) She took us through a day in her very busy life, sharing all the secrets of her beauty routine. Read on to get the scoop!

8 A.M.: "After waking up, I wash my face using Luzern Pure Cleansing Creme. This is a brand whose ingredients are all cultivated in the Swiss Alps, so it's organic and not drying. Then I follow up with Georgia Louise's Hydrating Rose Water, which is only available in the U.K. right now! I moisturize with Luzern lotion, and if I need extra freshening up, I'll add with a mist of Santa Maria Novella's Rose Water. It instantly makes you look awake, which is nice. I always make sure to finish with SPF 50, but I don't use any brand in particular. I'm trying to find one that's not too oily. I usually treat myself to a monthly facial, but I also love masks. The Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask is one of my all-time favorites. And for body lotion, I usually use Nivea or just plain coconut oil. Lately I've been in need of a hint of color, though, so I've been using Victoria's Secret Beach Sexy Self-Tanning Lotion!"

8:30 A.M.: "I don't really wear much makeup on a daily basis-I keep it minimal. I wish I could give myself a cat eye, but I fail every time! Instead, I keep it simple and natural. I love using RMS Beauty Living Luminizer, CoverGirl mascara, and By Terry's Baume de Rose with a bit of Victoria's Secret Lip Sheen on top. If I have any redness, I use RMS Un-Cover Up to conceal it. I really love fragrance, though, so I always spray my favorite, even when I'm not wearing makeup. I usually mix it up between Victoria by Victoria's Secret or their new scent, Angels Only."

9 A.M.: "Like my makeup, I keep my hair simple. It's either down or in a ponytail. I use Aveda to wash, and sometimes I'll spray with Redken Nature's Rescue Sea Spray. If my hair ever feels dry, I'll use a tiny bit of MoroccanOil. If I'm working back-to-back, I'll shampoo daily. If not, I do it every other day. I don't use it all the time, but my favorite product is Oribe Dry Texture Spray. It's a dry shampoo and a texturizer in one, so it's easy to use."

10 A.M.: "My exercise regimen changes depending on my schedule. When I have a shoot or a big job coming up, I try my best to work out four or five times a week. It's important to mix things up, so I'm trying different workouts all the time. Right now, I'm doing yoga with a personal instructor and I love it! I also do Pilates, strength training, and some hiking. I love my VSX sports bra and leggings, and I stay hydrated with my Klean Kanteen water bottle. I also have these great limited edition Beats by Dre Alexander Wang headphones.

6 P.M.: "If I'm going out at night, I might use a pencil to make my eye a little darker and smokier, but I usually just stick to my normal daytime makeup. If it's a special event, I get to work with a lot of different hair and makeup professionals, so thankfully I'm in their hands! I honestly can't pick a favorite person I like to work with-that would be like choosing a favorite child! The one thing I do prefer is to keep my hair down and parted in the middle with beachy texture. The Oribe spray is really perfect for that. I don't change up my fragrance at night, I'll just reapply some more. If I'm going out, I think I'd probably stick with Angels Only. Plus, a good manicure and pedicure is essential! Right now, I'm wearing Essie Wicked with my favorite Chanel top coat, and Chanel Blue Rebel on my toes."
