The mother of three said she starts her day with a cold shower and a warm glass of lemon water to invigorate the senses and energise her body.
Arguably looking just as good as she did in her twenties, the Dior ambassador then plugged a series of Dior products responsible for her ‘morning glow’.
Elsa praised Dior’s $145 Capture Totale Super Potent Serum for ‘plumping the skin’ and ‘helping with fine lines’, as well as the ‘nourishing’ $175 Capture Totale Super Potent Rich Cream.
Her final four steps comprised defining her brows, applying cheek colour, a quick application of mascara, and putting on lip balm.
However, fans were angered by one obvious omission from her eight-step routine.

‘No sunscreen? How disappointing!’ Commenting under the YouTube video, fans questioned why Elsa was not promoting the use of SPF products in the morning
Commenting under the YouTube video and on Elsa’s Instagram page, fans questioned why Elsa was not promoting the use of SPF products in the morning.
‘No sunscreen? How disappointing! Especially living in Australia. All the serums and creams are useless without sun protection,’ one fan said.
Others agreed, adding: ‘so disappointing to see another morning routine video that doesn’t include sunscreen’, ‘SPF! You need SPF for god’s sake!’, and ‘SPF! You live in Australia!’

She told Harper’s Bazaar in 2020 that she swears by applying SPF 50 to her face every day to protect herself from the sun’s aging rays in Australia.
In the past she has applauded La Roche Posay sunscreen and SPF products, as well as Peter Thomas Roth’s SPF 30 moisturising lotion.

Elsa and Chris, who share daughter India Rose, eight, and twin sons Sasha and Tristan, six, live in a $30million mansion in Broken Head, near Byron Bay.
While good genetics have clearly given Elsa a helping hand in the looks department, she’s also known to treat her body like a temple.
The mother-of-three has made no secret of the fact she eats well – drinking regular green smoothies – and works out regularly, enjoying Pilates, HIIT circuits and boxing to maintain her physique.
