Tennis Pro Naomi Osaka Serves Her 9 Must-Have Products For Self-Care

Professional Japanese Tennis Player Naomi Osaka knows a thing or two about keeping things cool on and off the court. The tennis star has made quite the name for herself, becoming the first Japanese player to win a Grand Slam. She then went on to win the singles title four years and currently ranks as the highest-paid female athlete.

The court isn’t the only place Osaka shines. She seems to have made it a goal to use her influence to bring awareness to mental health and other social issues. Through her various brand partnerships, like Louis Vuitton and Airbnb, Osaka has gained experience outside of the sports industry. She has even ventured off on her own business endeavors launching her skincare brand, Kinlò in 2021. Given Osaka’s busy schedule, she has to be creative and efficient when it comes to self-care routines. In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the athlete revealed her self-care essentials.

Refresh and Relax

Because Osaka is usually on the go, she shares that she usually opts for showers since they are the most convenient. When she has the chance, she enjoys a relaxing bath complete with soothing bath salts. Following the bath, she tends to her skin using her brand Kinlò’s Coconut Body Oil. Although she doesn’t always have the time to sit down and enjoy a good book, she finds time to read while on a plane to her next destination. For her day-to-day beauty routine, Osaka relies on her Kinlò Golden Essentials set. The athlete uses this sunscreen and lip balm daily to protect herself from the harsh blue light on computer screens while attending virtual meetings.

Rather than the typical bath salt, Osaka goes for a more unique option. These bath flakes are Naomi’s pick because of their unique flakey texture and the luxe Hinoki scent.

Osaka’s post-bath body oil pick comes from her own sun care line. The oil is meant to provide the skin with moisture, it can also be used on hair and nails.

Staying Fit

Aside from her hard work on the courts, Osaka has also explored other fitness methods. One of the things she told Harper’s Bazaar that she has been “very into” lately is hot yoga, she attends 90-minute classes. Osaka also values her massage treatments, which she supplements with Hyperice Hypervalent Go when she needs to take matters into her own hands. Mental fitness is just as important to her. She explains, “For me, meditation—even if it’s just for a few minutes when up–is really helpful to set my intentions for the day and start it with a great mindset”. Music also fuels the athlete and helps her gain concentration when needed. When it comes to food, Osaka remains mindful that what she eats is essential to her performance. She makes smoothies regularly full of greens and fruit, topping it off with BodyArmor Lyte
