For Kourtney Kardashian Barker, self-care is a holistic practice that extends far beyond a simple routine. As the founder of the health and wellness brand Poosh and the supplement company Lemme, she has built a philosophy centered on nourishing the body from the inside out. In this exclusive interview, the mother of four shares the deeply personal and practical ways she finds balance, from the parenting audiobooks that guide her to the daily habits and holy-grail products that help her feel her best.
Inside-Out Wellness: From Supplements to Diet
Kardashian Barker’s approach to wellness starts with what she puts into her body. Her company, Lemme, focuses on targeted gummy supplements designed to improve everything from focus to digestion. The latest product, Lemme Greens, was developed after hearing from customers who wanted an easier way to get their daily vegetable intake. She notes that the new product also contains biotin for hair, skin, and nails, along with clinically studied probiotics to reduce bloating. For a quick energy boost, she relies on eating clean, including her “new obsession” with frozen wild blueberries, which she eats in coconut yogurt or in smoothies for their concentrated health benefits.
Her Go-To Beauty Routine
When it comes to makeup, Kardashian Barker has a “less is more” philosophy. She admits to wearing no makeup 90% of the time. When she does apply it, she’s perfected a “five-minute makeup look” that makes her feel her best. Her go-to products include a compact from No Makeup Makeup and Kylie’s Precision Pout Lip Liner, which she says “brings me to life.” She notes that her family is so used to seeing her with a natural look that they’re shocked when she wears bolder makeup for a photo shoot. For her morning routine, she loves using Jillian Dempsey’s Hydrating Eye Masks right out of the fridge and applies them while using the Gold Sculpting Bar.
Body and Mind: The Movement and Mindset
To stay fit and decompress, Kourtney has developed a few simple, yet effective, habits. Since she’s breastfeeding and can’t have caffeine, she’s found a clever way to stay active: walking on her treadmill during phone calls or Zooms. She says this allows her to get in up to five miles a day, which is a great way to move her body when she has little time for a full workout. She also has a dedicated time for Pilates once a week with her daughter, which serves as a special mother-daughter date. Beyond physical activity, she finds balance by listening to parenting audiobooks, and she advises new mothers to “trust your instincts and tap into the maternal power that’s within you.”
Moments of Decompression and Mindfulness
Kardashian Barker has a few quiet rituals she uses for self-care. She is a fan of magnesium bath flakes from her Kourtney x Barker Wellness line, though she notes that since having a baby, baths are rare. She loves using Iota’s Supervitamin+ body wash and their body serum in the shower. She’s also rediscovered her love for Gua sha, which she says has made a “huge difference” in her skin. She sees her five minutes of Gua sha each morning as a cherished moment of “me time” that she looks forward to. When it comes to aromatherapy, she’s become more conscious of keeping the air clean for the baby and relies on her husband, Travis, to light candles and incense when they travel.
