Natural beauty secrets of the supermodels

Glossy hair, long limbs and impossibly fresh faces that never belie the stress of international travel, photoshoots and remembering to eat well - just how do supermodels stay looking so beautiful?
Luckily for us mere mortals, some of them have spilled the beans on how to get their glowing skin, telling Elle.com how they keep their complexions clear of any blemishes.
Canadian model Anais Pouliot said she uses organic beauty products that contain plant extracts to keep her skin in check. "I try to use more natural products on my face," she explained. "I like argan oil-when you put it on before you go to bed, you wake up with baby skin. Really soft baby skin."
Fellow model Karolina Kurkova is also a fan of herbal oils. "For removing my mascara, I like using coconut oil," she said. "[I use] things that are organic and natural for the skin, and won’t just sit on it. Having great skin also has a lot to do with what you eat-if you eat junk, it’s going to show."
Zimbabwean-born beauty Nyasha Matonhodze reckons the less you put on your face, the better - especially when it comes to makeup.
"My face tends to break out due to all the makeup during fashion season so I make sure to always wash it before I go to bed. And then I just apply cocoa butter - it smells absolutely amazing and it’s not too harsh on the skin."
Other models rely on keeping hydrated to keep their complexion looking clear, with Josephine Skriver noticing that her skin can look dull and grey if she doesn’t drink enough water. Daphne Groeneveld pointed out the importance of sleep, saying that getting enough quality rest at night is key to her gleaming face.

- Which is the best oil for hair growth and thickness?Apr 22, 2021Thank you Emiliano for your comment. In this blog we are referring more to oils, more so than butters and while we agree with you Shea is an excellent emollient for hair, it's consistency is more buttery and it is used more as a leave-in remedy to smooth hair texture. We have suggested Coconut oil as it helps slow down hair loss by penetrating deep into your hair shaft to prevent protein loss, which in turn prevents breakage. When applied to your scalp, it simultaneously moisturises and removes build-up around your hair follicles to encourage hair growth and is one of base oils always used in Ayurveda for hair treatments. As this post is more focused for hair and not for skin, the comedogenic scale applies to skin/pores and not hair follicles. Thank you again for your feedback.
- Which is the best oil for hair growth and thickness?Apr 22, 2021Hello Zu, yes hair loss can be very stressful and this in turn amplifies the cause almost.. Perhaps with Covid, your system may have been depleted of nutrients and fighting the virus can take its toll on your immune system, so sometimes our hair and skin suffer when we have been ill. We really believe in oils for scalp massage as the best way to revive the growth and help regenerate the follicles. It may be also worth at looking at internal supplements and making sure you are getting enough of omega oils, perhaps plant based such as nuts and seeds in your diet. For external oil treatment, would recommend the Really Good Hair oil which we create with Brahmi, this herb is known to help bring the scalp back to health and improve growth. Biotin is also a good vitamin to take as a supplement to help with hair growth so do look into that. So hope these tips will be helpful for you.
- Which is the best oil for hair growth and thickness?Apr 22, 2021I, am very surprised that your article did not include Organic Shea Butter and that coconut oil, is your number one choice for hair growth and thickness. According to the comedogenic scale, coconut oil, has a rating of (4), on a scale from (0), to (5), on clogging your pores. Why would anyone put coconut oil, on their hair or skin knowing the pores will get clogged up. Shea Butter, on the other hand has a (0), rating on the comedogenic scale, which is great for dry hair and skin and won't clog up your pores.
- Which is the best oil for hair growth and thickness?Mar 29, 2021Thank you for your very informative article. I suffered COVID in December, 2020, and in February I started experience extreme hair loss and all my hair jus falls like a person who is under going Chemo therapy. It's very depressing. Had to cut off all my hair and even the little that is left is falling off daily not sure what to do. Please suggest something.
- Carrot Oil for Face Mar 15, 2021Hello :) You can use carrot oil only in small drops on your skin in the morning/during the day since it is highly potent. Carrot oil is rich in vitamins and is a very effective moisturiser. You can also mix a few drops of Carrot Oil with your favorite face cream. You can do that at least twice a week or include it in your daily skincare routine. Hope this helps.
- Carrot Oil for Face Mar 15, 2021Can I use the carrot oil in the day time? Because I am using Vitamin c serum in the night. Please advise. Thanks
