Australian model Ashley Hart, 29, is known for her carefree lifestyle snaps, glowing complexion and enviable figure.
And while she takes care to follow a healthy diet and fitness regime, the Melbourne-based beauty also has a weekly ‘beautifying ritual’ that she swears by.
Speaking to Viva, Ashley said the ritual makes her feel as though she is ‘connecting to beauty on all levels’ and is something she takes the time to do ‘at least once a week’.

‘After about 30 minutes in the heat, I plunge my body in my freezing cold salt pool, jump in the shower, wash off my face and hair mask, lather myself in body oil, lay out into the sun to get some vitamin D in, and let my hair dry naturally in the sun.’
Ashley said the elaborate ritual is like a ‘massive reset button’ and allows her to feel ‘completely renewed’ – even after long haul flights, late nights and demanding weeks.

Ashley also incorporates wellness into all other areas of her life and told FEMAIL previously that she feels like the ‘best version of herself’ when she is eating well, drinking lots of water and staying active.
‘I practice meditation, twice every day and my go-to exercise is yoga,’ she said.
‘I do like to try new classes and learn new skills, so I have tried Muay Thai boxing as well as Barre and Pilates classes.
‘When I’m home, I typically wake up approx. 6:00AM so I’ve got plenty of time to jump in the salt pool and practice some yoga before my day really gets started.’

‘I can’t go past a simple, healthy omelet for breakfast and usually a superfood smoothie packed with nutrients, protein and high-energy fat for lunch,’ she said
Water intake is crucial to Ashley’s wellbeing and no matter where she is in the world she is sure to start the day with a big glass of water before enjoying a nutritious breakfast.
‘I can’t go past a simple, healthy omelet for breakfast and usually a superfood smoothie packed with nutrients, protein and high-energy fat for lunch,’ she said.
‘My go-to coffee order is always Bulletproof and for dinner typically grilled fish and a superfood salad.’
Despite her rigorous diet, Ashley does allow herself to indulge.
‘I love a glass of red wine and my home-made chocolate. I use cacao butter and coconut – so simple but so delicious,’ she said.
