Model-turned-businesswoman Miranda Kerr has great skin. Sure, she has access to the best of the best derms and beauty treatments, but it’s skincare, too. If you’ve tried her brand, Kora Organics, you know how well it works without irritating the skin. It would only make sense Kerr would want to expand the Kora Organics line to body products. Skin doesn’t just stop at your neck.

“I feel it is important to take care of our bodies like we do our face,” Kerr tells STYLECASTER. Previously, the brand had a body lotion and body wash, and there’s still the best-selling Noni Glow Body Oil ($54 at Amazon). But this new body collection is reformulated with “new-and-improved,” organic ingredients and more sustainable packaging.

“We are also now Climate Neutral Certified for 2021 and beyond!” she says. “Climate Neutral will measure all of Kora’s carbon emissions for each year beginning with 2021 and we will purchase verified carbon credits to offset our entire footprint. These carbon credits fund projects across the globe which help combat climate change and replenish the environment, such as tree planting, water filtration systems, renewable energy sources and more.”

“Last year we began launching all our products in more sustainable packaging,” she continues. “We will be using more glass, aluminum, post-consumer resin and recycled FSC/biodegradable paper for our packaging. Our ultimate goal is to continue finding new ways to lower our carbon footprint with more sustainable business and manufacturing processes.” The brand also partnered with the Organic Farming Research Foundation, which works to inspire, educate and inform the public about organic farming.

In addition to the reformulated body lotion and wash, Kerr added an entirely new product to the offerings, inspired by the best-selling Turmeric 2-in-1 Brightening and Exfoliating Mask ($50 at Amazon). “I also received so much positive feedback from customers and dermatologists that were recommending this face scrub for Keratosis pilaris on the back of their arms, so I wanted to create a Body Scrub version that was just as powerful and uplifting but with a formula specifically designed for your whole body. I was inspired by our best-sellers in skincare in wanting to bring certified organic ingredients and powerful results to your full body.”

I asked Kerr how she incorporates these new products into her routine so we can pretty much do the exact same thing. She starts by dry brushing with her Dry Body Brush ($32 at Kora Organics). Then, she cleanses her body with the Renewing Body Wash, which she says “is an incredible gentle cleanser that helps bind moisture to your skin even after rinsing.” Next comes Invigorating Body Scrub, which “scrubs away all my dead skin and leaves me feeling silky smooth, and glowing.”

When she gets out of the shower, she applies the Nourishing Body Lotion, “which leaves my skin feeling hydrated and strengthened,” with “a layer of the Noni Glow Body Oil” all over her body. “My skin has never felt so soft,” she says. Sign me up.

Up until age 75, I felt 18 years old at the core. The girl I used to be still lived inside me and dictated my approach to life. That girl had always hungered to learn new things. She enjoyed traveling independently, taking a chance on whatever food and lodging she might find; she liked to dance and ski and ride her bike and do yoga.

To be sure, as the years passed and I continued to do those things, I had to make accommodations for lesser physical strength and greater vulnerability. But my inner 18-year-old was nonetheless still happily in charge.

In the Blink of an Eye

I was far from blind to the fact of aging. At age 60, out of curiosity, I decided to start keeping track of the bodily changes to come. I labeled a page in the back of a notebook “Things Falling Apart Post 60” and added items as I noticed them.

The entries were little things like small, red moles appearing on trunk; base of right thumb occasionally aches; and so on. Time passed, and then I labeled another page “Entropy After 65” and continued listing incremental changes. (When the irises of your eyes turn gray around the edges, it’s called arcus senilis. What an unkind name!)

Tipping Point

I continued the chronicle of curiosities – that’s what my 18-year-old psyche called them – and labeled the next page “Patching It together Post 70.” The principal entry was a list of foods I now found harder to digest (including red wine but not white, thank goodness).

When I hit 75, I labeled the new page “75 – Now I’m Old” tongue-in-cheek. But right away, my entries turned into paragraphs rather than one-liners because the issues had become more complex. Consider rising blood pressure: was it due to aging, or to genetics, or to the stress of the pandemic? I went back to the label and added the words “no more fooling around” in lower case.

At long last, that 18-year-old living inside me lost her primacy. I no longer had confidence that my body would respond to the fun stressors, like playing with kids or jumping over puddles, with appropriate resilience. It wasn’t a question of practice; deep down, I knew that I would not be able to recoup my former elasticity no matter how I tried.

What Now?

At the start of the pandemic, a friend had said, “Don’t worry, it won’t kill you.” I wondered how she could be so sure. Lack of resilience affects one’s response to all kinds of stressors, infectious as well as metabolic.

I’d enjoyed exercising and eating organic food for decades, and I was in really good shape. But a careful lifestyle doesn’t make up for the natural effects of aging. Every time a DNA molecule replicates, it can lose a little something. Those losses accumulate and cannot be reversed.

The New Regime

When my mother was my age, she sprinkled lemon juice on her French fries instead of salt. At the time I thought it yukky, but she ate them with gusto. (She hadn’t told me her doctor had demanded she change her diet.) I recently tried squeezing lemon on my fries; they tasted like tangy potato rather than salt. Different, not bad. I finally understood what my mother had been up to.

My attitude toward my body has changed from cataloging limitations to celebrating gifts. I’m not “settling” for life in a reduced state; I love what my 70-something body can do, with the support of 21st century medicine when required. It’s a privilege to grow older in relative health and comfort in these challenging times.

So, pushing 80, I had a talk with my 18-year-old psyche, telling her to move over because grandmother had come to town and would be sleeping in her bed!  

Let’s Have a Conversation:

Do you have concerns about how your body is aging? What changes are you noticing in this new decade? Are they for the better or worse? What can you do to keep your body as strong as possible for longer?
