THE VANITY DIARIES: FRAN SUMMERS
THE YORKSHIRE-BORN MODEL SPILLS HER BEAUTY SECRETS, FROM INTENSE EXERCISE ROUTINES TO INDULGENT FACIALS
The model lets us into her beauty and health routine, from fitness classes to the one indulgence she can’t go without
I HIT THE SACK AT… 8pm. I’m such an early bedtime person.
I WAKE UP AT… 6am. Because I’m very much a morning person.
THE FIRST THING THAT PASSES MY LIPS IS… Coffee. I make a pot for iced coffee or an oat-milk cappuccino.
THE LAST THING THAT PASSES MY LIPS IS… Toothpaste. I hate feeling like I might have have bad breath.
MY MAKE-UP ROUTINE… Is non-existent. I wear too much for work so I don’t really wear any. I’m also terrible at applying it.
If I do put on anything, it’s a vibrant lipstick.
MY EXERCISE ROUTINE… Combines a lot of things. I love a barre class but it’s so hard – I tried signing up for an actual ballet class and that was even worse! I also do body combat, which is fun – it makes you feel like a badass and gets frustration out.
WHEN I LOOK IN THE MIRROR, I SEE… My skin. I break out when I’m stressed so when it’s looking clear, I’m like: ‘Oh, I haven’t got a spot this morning.’ I love that.
MY WORST BEAUTY HABIT IS… Touching spots. I just have to feel them out.
MY GREATEST BEAUTY DISCOVERY… Putting eye masks in the fridge. It really makes them so much more effective.
MY MOOD IS… Buzzing. Super happy. I have no complaints at all.
I FEEL HAPPIEST WHEN… Cuddling my dog. She makes me the happiest person in the world.
MY FRIDGE IS FILLED WITH… Pickles and hot sauces. I love them!
THE CRAZIEST THING I’VE DONE IN THE NAME OF BEAUTY IS… Getting a deep cleansing HydraFacial. The therapist uses an actual vacuum to get gunk out.
MY BIGGEST BEAUTY INDULGENCE IS… Facials. I cleanse and use oils myself, but I don’t like using the wrong products, so I let facialists do their thing as often as I can.
TELL US A BEAUTY SECRET… Brown mascara. So natural, but a great way to make your eyelashes more defined.
I DEAL WITH STRESS BY… Exercising.
I like yoga and dog walks. I’ve tried having baths but I just end up flustered and bored.
THE BEST BEAUTY ADVICE I’VE EVER RECEIVED WAS… Not to wash my face first thing. I don’t like to strip the natural oils.
VANITY TO ME MEANS… Loving who you are. It’s good to care about yourself.
THE LAST BEAUTY TREATMENT I HAD WAS… A Cowshed facial as a treat after the shows at fashion week.
