Supermodel Georgia May Jagger has spent over 16 years in the spotlight, but these days, she’s taking a more intentional approach to her well-being. As the daughter of rock-and-roll icon Mick Jagger and model Jerry Hall, she is no stranger to fame, yet she finds herself more drawn to authenticity, believing that “real routines” and “real skin” are the future of beauty. This commitment to honesty is also the foundation of her new skincare brand, May Botanicals. Recently pregnant with her first child, Jagger’s self-care philosophy has become even more focused on nourishment and grace. Here, she shares her most beloved essentials, from hydrating skincare to a minimalist makeup routine, and reveals how her life has shifted to prioritize what truly matters.
From Fashion to Founder: A Commitment to Reality
Georgia May Jagger’s journey from supermodel to skincare brand founder was a deeply personal one. For most of her life, she struggled with sensitive and eczema-prone skin, issues that were often exacerbated by her demanding career in fashion. These personal frustrations became the inspiration for May Botanicals, a line she began developing five years ago with a clear mission: to create products that are both effective and gentle enough for even the most reactive skin types. Her commitment to this principle is evident in her decision to make every single product dermatologically tested.
Perhaps the most unique and intentional aspect of her brand is that the entire line is pregnancy-safe. Having just announced her own pregnancy, Jagger says this was a crucial factor for her. She didn’t want people to have to struggle with changing their routines after they became pregnant and knew that creating a safe, consistent line would be a huge benefit. This thoughtful approach has made her own pregnancy journey much easier, as she can continue to use her products without worrying about potential risks. May Botanicals isn’t her first venture into the beauty business; she also co-owns the popular hair care company, Bleach London. Through both of her brands, Jagger is proving that her career is no longer just about being the face of a brand, but about creating products that solve real-life problems for women.
The Secret to a Pregnancy Glow
Since becoming pregnant, Georgia May Jagger has focused her self-care on combating puffiness and ensuring her skin stays hydrated and healthy. She says she feels fortunate that her skin has been relatively well-behaved, but she has been extra diligent about using hydrating products. For her body, she uses Osea’s Undaria Algae Body Oil, which she follows with her own May Botanicals Super Balm, a multipurpose product with beeswax, shea butter, and sweet almond oil that she uses on her belly and other areas. She is also a fan of exfoliating her face once a week with the Goop Microderm Instant Glow Exfoliator or Sisley Paris’s Exfoliating Enzyme Mask.
For her face, she has become “very into anything cooling” to help with pregnancy-related puffiness. Her go-to remedy is her May Botanicals Kelp! Seaweed Sheet Mask, which she keeps in the fridge for an extra cooling effect. She uses the Jenny Patinkin Cryo Glow Globes on top of the mask for a depuffing boost. On days when she doesn’t have time for a full mask, she uses a cold rose quartz roller or the Isamaya × FaceGym Sculpt 01 Gua Sha with her May Botanicals Daily Dose Moisturiser. This commitment to a cooling and hydrating routine is a testament to her belief in listening to her body and giving it exactly what it needs to feel its best.
A Minimalist’s Makeup Must-Haves
When it comes to makeup, Jagger has a minimalist philosophy. She prefers a “no-makeup makeup” look and has a core collection of products she relies on. She is loyal to her base makeup and doesn’t switch up her foundation or bronzers very often. Her go-to is the Chantecaille Future Skin Gel Foundation, which provides a sheer, natural finish. She also uses two different mascaras: Hourglass’s Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara for a daytime look and YSL Beauty’s Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils for a more dramatic effect in the evening.
For her lips, she says she’s been having a “love affair” with tinted balms and liners, which she admits to buying a lot of. Her favorites include Clinique’s Almost Lipstick in Black Honey, a sheer, buildable shade, and her own May Botanicals Super Balm on top of a lip liner like the Victoria Beckham Beauty Lip Definer in No. 4. This simple routine allows her to look polished without feeling weighed down by too much makeup, reflecting her overall desire for a more authentic and effortless beauty routine.
Holistic Wellness: From Mind to Body
Beyond her beauty routine, Georgia May Jagger nurtures her mind and body through a variety of self-care practices. Since becoming pregnant, her reading list has shifted to baby books, with The First Forty Days being a current favorite, which focuses on nourishing a new mother. She also loves to listen to old-school soul music and true-crime podcasts. For her physical well-being, she has been practicing Pilates at Ozar Wellness House, a studio specifically for people with back issues. She also does a lot of hiking. She says she has been trying to keep up with her fitness routine, even if it feels like she’s “literally doing nothing” some days, and that this consistency has been key.
A major shift in her routine since becoming pregnant has been her newfound commitment to taking vitamins every day. She admits that before this, she “couldn’t really be bothered,” but she has noticed a significant improvement in her skin and hair since she started. She plans to continue this habit after her pregnancy. For her, this simple act of taking vitamins is a powerful reminder that self-care is not always glamorous but is often found in the small, consistent actions we take to nourish ourselves from the inside out.
The Power of Intentional Self-Care
Georgia May Jagger believes that true self-care is about more than just the products you use; it’s about being intentional with your time. A big part of her brand’s philosophy is the idea that you can give yourself a “mini facial” in just 15 to 20 minutes. This provides an opportunity to step away from your phone and “check in with yourself.” She feels that this type of “one-on-one time” is crucial for reconnecting and recharging. For Jagger, the ultimate act of self-care is to take time for yourself and to be fully present in that moment, even if it’s just for a few minutes.
