Welcome to Beauty Around the Clock, Marie Claire's weekly peek into the daily lives of the most influential women in their industries. How do these women get their work done in a day?

In 2005, before clean beauty was a thing, serial entrepreneur Karen Benke founded Juice Beauty (opens in new tab) on the simple premise that organic products should be luxurious and effective. Since then, she has helped shape the clean category with her outspoken views, launching her own Juice Beauty ingredient farm and gaining several celebrity (opens in new tab) followers in the process. Here is a 24-hour look at her world.

Rise and Shine

I get up every morning at 6 to work out. After a tall glass of filtered water, I run, bike, swim, and do yoga for an hour every morning! The beautiful vineyard trails of Healdsburg, where Juice Beauty farms are located, are perfect for working out. Lucky for us, we have a saltwater, solar-powered lap pool here.

Power Start

My favorite breakfast is banana egg pancakes, a recipe from my daughter's best friend, a triathlete at UC Berkeley. One banana is mashed and mixed with two whipped eggs to make pancakes. Drizzle with olive oil from the farm, add a little organic syrup, organic walnuts, and organic blueberries.

Morning care

Skin care probably only takes 5 minutes: stem cellular (opens in new tab) or green apple cleanser (opens in new tab) or Prebiotics Instant Flash Facial (opens in new tab) Cleans with Stem Cellular (opens in a new tab). Add Stem Cellular (opens in new tab) or Green Apple Serum (opens in new tab). Then mix in Stem Cellular CC SPF 30 Cream (Desert Glow, opens in new tab) and sometimes Stem Cellular Vinifera Oil (opens in new tab).

Beauty Signatures

My signature look is black eyeliner and black mascara: Phyto-Pigments mascara (opens in new tab) and eyeliner (opens in new tab), and Phyto-Pigments lip crayon (opens in new tab). I don't trust the ingredients in nail polish, so I don't wear perfume and leave my nails bare!

Zoom Beauty Hacks

A quick spritz of Juice Beauty Hydrating Mist (opens in new tab) on face and a dab of Phyto-Pigments Lip Crayon.

Beauty Icons

Kate Hudson - she truly exudes beauty inside and out.

Best Advice

Follow your passion.

Hidden Talents

She is good at hula hooping.

Look for a night out

Once you shower, you'll be ready in 30 minutes. Then, use Gwyneth or Kate's Phyto Pigment Liquid Lip (opens in new tab) for a brighter, longer-wear look.

Glam Soundtrack

Coldplay or Lady Gaga, or Bob Seger for my hometown Michigan vibe.

Evening Wind Down

My afternoon skincare routine is brief, except when I mask with Green Apple Peel (opens in new tab). Otherwise, I use Stem Cellular Cleansing Oil or Prebiotics Instant Flash Facial, Signal Peptide Firming Serum (opens in new tab), Signal Peptide Firming Face Balm & Mask (opens in new tab) and Eye Balm ( Open in new tab) only.

Bedside Essentials

Juice Beauty Organic Lip Moisturizer (opens in new tab). Green Apple Essence (opens in new tab) for an aromatic scent.

Lights out

I wish I could say 10:00 or 11:00, but it's usually midnight; since COVID, my husband and I relax by watching Netflix. Then I kiss my husband and one of us says, "I love you."
