Every month we ask an industry pro to share with us their all-time favourite products across makeup, skincare and fragrance
Argentinian model Cami Romero regularly jets into Dubai to shoot campaigns and editorials for some of the leading international and local brands. Spending so much time in the makeup chair has resulted in knowing a lot of what does and doesn’t work for her. With a wealth of industry knowledge and an understanding of what her sensitive skin needs, she shares with us her ultimate makeup and skincare heroes.
Retinol B3 Dhs132 La Roche Posay
I use this serum in the evening, it’s made with retinol and vitamin B3. If you are concerned with dehydration, skin irregularities and signs of wrinkles, but also searching for a serum suitable for sensitive skin like me, this is a good choice.
I love mask day! It clarifies my skin in such a way it glows after just one use. Makeup and air pollutants affect the skin so I maintain its purity by using this mask. Good for pore cleansing and the smell it’s like a mini spa day at home.
Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion SPF 50+ Dhs200 Shiseido
This is a nice non-greasy formula which works for my sensitive skin and amazing for applying makeup on top and it comes in a small container which makes it great for travelling.
Chance Eau de Parfum Dhs470 for 50ml Chanel
It’s a really nice soft and floral fragrance! It feels like summer on my skin.
Luminous Silk Foundation Dhs245 Giorgio Armani at Sephora
It has a medium buildable coverage and a luminous finish that leaves my skin looking naturally flawless (Thank you Hindash!).
Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment Dhs392 Sunday Riley
It’s a chemical exfoliator. I use it for skin clarity, radiance and younger-looking complexion. It brightens the appearance of age spots and discolourations, and the smell is amazing.
Essence Toner Dhs80 Pyunkang Yul
Pyunkang Yul is a famous brand in herbal medicine in Korea before skincare. This toner is created from that concept. It calms, balances and hydrates my skin without irritation because it’s made with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant ingredients. Use it morning and night.
Rose Quartz Gua Sha Face Sculpting Tool Dhs175 SALT on ounass.com
This is ideal for contouring the face, especially the jawline, which you can use with oils and serums. The facial massage helps all the ingredients in the products absorb deeper into the skin, it depuffs the eyes and smooths out fine wrinkles, resulting in a fresh and healthy complexion.
