The Top Chef host and supermodel, who gave birth to daughter Krishna Thea in late February, claimed that the stresses of being a new mum can be alleviated with a few tricks.
"Lately it's been getting a foot massage [that] makes me feel really good," she said. "Because I feel like when you feel relaxed, it shows on your face and your muscles aren't tense. So that makes me feel beautiful."
The 39-year-old also credits sleep with feeling refreshed and healthy.
"It's important for weight loss, it's important for your skin, it's also important for mental clarity," she said. "So it is one of those unsung heroes of a person's beauty and wellness regime."
Lakshmi's charity The Endometriosis Foundation of America has recently partnered with Dial NutriSkin Body Wash to donate $1 for every new Dial Facebook fan. Dial will also donate $1 every personal beauty story posted to DialSoap.com.
