Canadian-American model, actress and TV host Kim Cloutier is even more than a triple threat. She’s also a licensed esthetician and the founder of new Los Angeles-based beauty services clinic Kim Klean.

The 36-year-old was featured in the SI Swimsuit Issue in 2009, when she was photographed by Matt Jones in the Riviera Maya, Mexico. The longtime Soma Intimates ambassador and campaign model acted for several years and made her big-screen debut alongside Adam Sandler in the 2014 film The Cobbler.

She played a Quebecoise character named Anik, who was a the main love interest, in Canadian TV show Letterkenny in 2016, and also starred in a two episode-role in the spinoff series, Shoresy. In 2018, Cloutier took on a hosting gig on the reality TV fashion show, Stitched. Contestants were judged by style expert Joe Zee and ELLE Canada editor in chief Vanessa Craft and competed for a $10,000 prize.

The Montreal-born model, who is married to Mark Ricketson, also runs a beauty and lifestyle blog, called the KLEAN Edit.

“I am very curious about the connection between our daily rituals and our overall well-being. From sitting in the makeup chair as a model every morning for the past 15 years —woah time flies! I have started to ponder on the effects certain products have on our skin and long-term health,” reads her website. “I began educating myself on aromatherapy and the benefits of essential oils. Through my research and certification program, I’ve realized that most of the makeup and skincare that we apply on our skin every single day is in fact toxic. I have since felt the need to be an advocate for clean beauty and overall wellness. I want to bring awareness to how simple changes to certain of our daily habits can drastically improve our health and well-being. This is how the journey of #KimKLEAN began! A journey to discover the beauty of clean living and I can not wait to share to with you!”
