As the fashion world converges on London for Fashion Week, all eyes are on the catwalk, where designers and models highlight upcoming styles and trends. Behind the scenes, there's a team of beauty experts working tirelessly to ensure that every model's skin is glowing and radiant. From beauty editors to top models, these skincare aficionados have their product preferences that keep their model’s complexion catwalk ready. Join us as we look at the skincare secrets of beauty editors and models, featuring luxurious products from top brands like Biologique Recherche, Auteur, Ayuna, Sapelo, and Aman.
Catwalk prep
Before stepping onto the catwalk, beauty editors and models alike know the importance of prepping their skin to ensure a flawless complexion. Cleansing is the first step in any skincare routine, and Biologique Recherche Lait EV is a favorite among industry insiders from Harper’s Bazaar, Elle and Notion Magazine. This gentle and extremely nourishing milk cleanser designed for dry skin effortlessly removes daily impurities without stripping the skin's natural oils. Formulated with strengthening and protecting Tsubaki Oil, omega-rich Raspberry Extract, and skin-repairing Avocado oil alongside low molecular weight hyaluronic acid to deeply replenish the skin and restore a healthy skin barrier. The skin is left balanced, soft and refreshed – ready for the flawless make-up application.
As a skin pick-me-up between shows and whilst on the move, L’Eauxygenante is a hydrating antioxidant and oxygenating mist that stimulates the epidermis and envelops it in a protective veil. It contains high concentrations of antioxidants extracted from Orange and Kiwi cells and Edelweiss extract, which has potent anti-free-radical properties.
Hydration is Key
Hydration is essential for maintaining radiant skin, especially during the hectic days of Fashion Week. The Sapelo Renewing Serum is a go-to product for beauty editors and models alike. This lightweight essence replenishes moisture and balances the skin's pH levels, giving it a smoother appearance
For an extra boost of hydration and nourishment, beauty editors and models swear by Sapelo rejuvenating cream. This luscious cream is packed with 65 unique active ingredients, including a blend of 6 potent peptides that work to reverse signs of ageing by boosting collagen production and preventing glycation. Reinforced with an optimised complex of ceramides and antioxidants to repair and protect, it leaves the skin plumped, smoothed with a youthful glow. Alyssa Weiss, founder of TravelBeauty.com said that “Sapelo skincare is literally the best topical anti-aging I have ever come across.”
Luxurious Masks
In the chaos of Fashion Week, taking time to indulge in a luxurious mask is necessary for beauty editors and models. For an immediately radiant and luminous complexion, Ayuna Balm K is a brightening mask that incorporates phytonutrient benefits that combat dyschromia and wrinkles for a healthy-looking complexion. The potassium rich broccoli sprouts mitigate hyperpigmentation and refines texture whilst Tasmanian Pepper brightens the skin and visibly diminishes the appearance of dark spots.
Protecting the Skin
Finally, shielding the skin from the harsh effects of the environment is crucial for maintaining a healthy complexion. Velo from Ayuna is our go-to sunscreen for glowy and protected skin. This lightly tinted day cream features 6-in-1 protection against environmental aggressors, including UVA/UVB filters and anti-pollution shield while providing essential hydration and skin barrier support. The sunscreen has a non-greasy, illuminating finish which creates a perfect base for a make-up application.
So, as we watch fashion week unfold in London, the spotlight isn't just on the latest trends in fashion – it's also on the radiant skin of the models gracing the catwalk. Behind the scenes, beauty editors and models rely on a curated selection of luxurious skincare products to keep their complexion glowing and runway ready. From cleansing to hydration to protection, these skincare secrets ensure that every model shines with confidence and grace.
