Out of all the Kardashian-Jenners, Kourtney Kardashian is our pick for most likely to have her own HGTV show. The 38-year-old mom of three is constantly blowing our minds with her genius wellness hacks, from a shampoo substitute found in your kitchen to a skin care product you can grow in your living room.
Though it’s hard to call any of the Kardashian-Jenner ladies “relatable,” Kourtney—with her DIY beauty products and at-home spa routines—has always seemed the most down-to-earth. To make your lives a little easier, we rounded up 10 times the eldest Kardashian sister gave the most life-changing wellness advice. Check out Kourtney’s best tips, ahead.
Growing aloe vera in her house
As an all-natural skin care solution to dryness, irritation, and burns (including sunburn), Kourtney is a big fan of aloe vera. However, instead of buying the product bottled at her local drug store, the reality star harvests the gel herself from tons of potted aloe vera plants scattered around her house.
“If the kids or I get a sunburn, I always use fresh aloe vera applied directly to the skin,” Kourtney wrote on her website. “I keep aloe vera plants in my house, too. You can just break off a leaf and squeeze it to get a small amount of gel.”
Apple cider vinegar as shampoo
On her off days from washing her hair, Kourtney uses apple cider vinegar, a common salad ingredient with properties that gently clean the hair and scalp, to keep her locks sleek and shiny without stripping them of their natural oils. “Every now and then, I’ll rinse my hair with apple cider vinegar,” she wrote on her website. “It’s known for holding in moisture without stripping your hair of its natural oils.”
Drinking green tea before her meals
To stave off unnecessary cravings, most notably, the bread basket at restaurants (Kourtney's biggest vice), the mom of three's first order of business every time she eats out is ordering a cup of green tea with almond milk. The drink doesn't replace her meal. Instead, it serves as a healthy alternative until her main entree arrives.
