There aren’t many people who consider an immune booster — comprised of lemon, honey, red onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt — to make up their breakfast. But then again, there aren’t many people like Ricky Martin. After downing his morning nutrients, the 49-year-old Latin musician revealed the secret to caring for his voice: alkaline water. Then, he jumps right into his skincare routine.

After spritzing rose water on his face, Martin cleanses his skin with Kumiko Matcha soap, which is a simple dry soap packed with antioxidants. Then, he washes the product off before massaging his facial muscles with a cube of ice — not only does this stimulate circulation, he says, but it provides him with a gentle touch of rosy cheeks.

“For many years of my life… I was so overwhelmed with what was happening in my life,” Martin recalled on Vogue’s Beauty Secrets. “I started traveling on my own. I went to India, I found meditation, I went deep into meditation, and it was my salvation.” Now, the father of four said he wakes up early — around 5:30-6 a.m. — to find his moment of silence, which he accomplishes by practicing guided meditation using the Headspace app. “I wish I could be in the lotus position for three hours a day, but 15, 20 minutes, half an hour… it really makes a difference,” he said.

Jumping back into his skincare routine, Martin uses a toner on his face and follows with Aesop body lotion. To stimulate the production of collagen, he daubs Kumiko Matcha Intense Recovery on his skin, and for “a little extra love for the eye,” he relies on the Repechage Eye Rescue Pads. After, he applies a serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen. Then once again, he dusts his skin with another facial mist.

Of course, Martin couldn’t forget to style his hair. “I’m gonna go on the road in September with Enrique Iglesias, and I’m gonna need 20 bottles of these,” he said about his Blind Barber sea salt spray. And finally, he shared his key to success: smelling good. With the help of Loewe 7, Martin ensures that he’ll smell fresh all day.
