KHAOULA GHANEM: How do you maintain a healthy Fashion Show body throughout the year?
CANDICE SWANEPOEL: I lead a really balanced lifestyle. It is important to eat healthy but also allow yourself to indulge a bit. I am also incredibly active and I enjoy working out. 
What is your guilty pleasure?
Sticky toffee pudding.
Is there a song that gets you hyped up before the show?
Anything by Bob Marley is always a go-to. I am also a huge Rihanna fan.
What skincare rule do you follow religiously?
Since I model year round, it’s important to really cleanse my skin after work. I use a natural face wash and get a facial once a month.
How do you ensure that your skin looks flawless for the fashion show?
I love using cleansing masks at home when the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is approaching. I also slather coconut oil all over my skin and hair.
Did you ever get bouts of apprehension posing in lingerie and swimwear when you first became an Angel?
When I first started modeling, I was younger and quite shy. I developed confidence gradually with the experience I gained. By the time I had the opportunity to wear lingerie and swimwear for Victoria’s Secret, I was confident and it just felt like the next step in my modeling career.
