Beauty INSIDER

This week’s model Helene shares her beauty secrets with us…

Beauty-wise, what would you never do?

Can I rephrase that as “never do again”? That would be microdermabrasion, which I have seen skin destroyed by. It goes against all I believe in when it comes to treating skin – it’s all about nurturing it, not sandblasting it!

What’s the next beauty treatment you’d like to try?

My eyebrows are thinning a lot as I get older, so I’d love to fill them in somehow and have heard amazing things about what they can do at the ON Brow House in central Auckland. I’d do anything to have my bushy brows back!

What skincare/make-up trend excites you right now?

The variety of incredible new nourishing foundations that are coming to market all the time. I love rms beauty’s Un Cover Up and also the work of local beauty brand Aleph. It’s the brainchild of an Auckland make-up artist called Emma Peters. The foundation/concealer formula she’s created is next level. Have you tried any beauty supplements?

The one brand that seriously delivers for me is Advanced Nutrition Programme. I’m a repeat buyer of their Skincare Box Ultimate, a pack that supports healthy skin, strong hair and nails, and a brighter complexion. You notice the difference in your skin after just a few days.
