Good karma: Caprice says that being happy is her secret beauty weapon
You’ve got to start looking after skin early to maintain it and I’ve been really careful ever since I started modelling and it hasn’t gone haywire yet. It’s also vital to change the products you use every two months so your skin doesn’t become immune.
Right now I’m using a La Prairie anti-ageing serum gel (£111), on top of an organic antioxidant liquid then on top of that some organic Abaco Neem cream from the Bahamas. I use tea tree oil to dry out spots and rehydrate my skin.
I visit this incredible woman called Janet Ginnings in Mayfair whose has been doing an Oxyjet Facial (£135) on my skin for ten years and it’s incredible. It pushes oxygen to the first epidermis of your skin, rehydrates is and rejuvenates collagen.
For my body I use organic body scrub from Jason (£6.99) and use a loofah to exfoliate every single day.
MAKE UP
If I have an event my make up is much heavier but if I’m just going out to dinner with a few mates I’ll just use a minimal amount to keep myself looking fresh. I love MAC studio sculpt foundation powder (£22.50) rather than the liquid because that makes me break out.
For lipstick I’ll use MAC Slimshine in Bare (£12.50), mascara is Max Volume lash (£12), lip gloss is Chelsea Girl by Nars (£16) and my eyeliner is L’Oreal black liquid liner (£4.39) then a MAC Peachey keen blusher (£13) and Bourjois Bronzer (£5.60).
HAIR
I’ve been bleaching my hair every six weeks for ten years and it's taken a hell of a beating. About 18 months ago a colourist in South Africa put so much colour in it and it became so brittle that it almost snapped clean off.
I was told that the only way to save it would be the shave it all off but I told them to forget it and started scouring the net for a solution, which I found in Matthew Alexander’s Biolustre treatment. After two treatments my hair was feeling like it did when I was a teenager. It's amazing.
For day-to-day care I use Kerastase shampoo and if I really need to rehydrate my hair I put flax seed oil on my hair overnight which works wonders.
EXERCISE
Before I was 30 I used to be able to get away with not doing much exercise but now I have to work harder to stay slim.
I run a lot, I play tennis three times a week, I do weights at home and I take my chihuahuas for a two mile brisk walk round Hyde Park every day too. I pretty much make sure I do some exercise every day.

After more than 15 years modelling it's inevitable that I’ve become obsessed with my weight.
I stand in front of the mirror every single day of my life and look myself up and down. I can look at my body and I can tell that I’ve put on two pounds without getting on the scales. And when I get on them I’m right every single time.
My job means I’m very self-disciplined about what I eat. I occasionally pig out on pizzas or nachos but most of the time I'm sensible.
I don’t actually restrict myself in terms of what I eat but I do in terms of when and I try my hardest never to eat after 5pm.
If I do have do go to a function, in the evening I'll just eat a small piece of fish and vegetables. No desserts.
SECRET WEAPON
Overall my karma is good and I’m a pretty happy person and I think that has a lot to do with it. You can have the most beautiful woman and if she has a really evil nature she can be so ugly.Caprice lingerie is available from Shop Direct, Asos and Figleaves.
