8 Beauty Tips From Victoria's Secret Angels
The skin hacks, masks and moiturisers they swear by
Ahead of the 2017 Victoria's Secret show in Shanghai, we reveal what some of the Angels do to prepare their hair and skin for close-ups – and how they recover afterwards.
Bella Hadid
At the end of last fashion week, Bella Hadid told us how she recovers her look before the next stint of shows. "My skin is tripping out and I think my hair got washed four times yesterday, so usually I like to do a lot of masks. I like to not wear make-up also. I have a few weeks off so I'm going to drink a lot of water, do a lot of detoxing and try and get my body back to the way I like it to be. So, lots of hair and skin masks and just giving my body what it needs."
Alessandra Ambrosio
VS royalty Alessandra Ambrosio told our sister site Harpers Bazaar US how she fights premature ageing and maintains complexion perfection. "I try to keep my skin very hydrated with lots of moisturisers and face serums," she said. "I also always wear SPF to prevent wrinkles."
Sara Sampaio
Portuguese beauty Sara Sampaio has all the healthy hair tips. She says: "With my hair, I only need two things: a good haircut and a good conditioner. If I don't have any time to do anything else, I'm good to go. I work almost every day and when I get home, I have a lot of products in my hair. The one thing that I hate is going to bed with my hair dirty with products because then it gets onto my skin and I start breaking out, so I tend to always take a shower at night before I go to bed."
Candice Swanepoel
The South African supermodel revealed she favours skincare with natural antiseptic properties. "Because I wear a lot of make-up for work it's really important to keep my skin clean after work so I use a great natural face wash, Tea Tree Oil and Green Tea" she told Vogue. Here are the best cleansers, for every skin type.
Taylor Hill
One of the youngest Victoria's Secret Angels told us that coconut oil is the product she can't live without, saying "I put it all over my body and sometimes my face." It's also her secret for flawless skin on the go. "I like to have coconut oil with me when I'm travelling," she said. "It's easy to put in a travel-size container and carry it around".
Gigi Hadid
With a supermodel mother, Gigi Hadid learnt her beauty tips from the best. "My mum [Yolanda Hadid] always taught me to put toothpaste on pimples to dry them out at night. I do that all the time. I don't use anything fancy when I get a pimple," she told Elle US.
Vanessa Moody
Making her VS debut this year, model Vanessa Moody knows the importance of revitalising your hair. "Work mostly affects my hair, as it can become dry from too many products and too much heat," she told AnOther magazine. "So, every few months, I use a good deep-conditioning treatment."
Stella Maxwell
Stella Maxwell's skin secret lies in diligent exfoliation. "I love a good scrub, especially on my face. I like to scrub everything down because I've usually got so much make-up and body make-up and products on. I have to shower every day," she told HuffPost UK.
