From how to eliminate acne marks to the best eye contour for men, from hair serums so as not to envy Jared Leto's hair and the use of niacinamide. David López is a true beauty freak, he doesn't skip a trend but he doesn't let himself be carried away aimlessly by them. He leads the way writing in GQ about what really matters: good hair, a good serum, a contour that works. The beauty that is. He does it because he is a taster; Test and apply before recommending. And since we can't delve into his cosmetic wardrobe or hire him as a guru, we suggest read him in GQ online . And here, of course, where we have subjected him to a test to find out everything about his routine and his whims beauty
1. Your favorite Laconicum product.
At the beginning of 2021, I ordered the Lumilixir hyaluronic acid and vitamin C serum from
2. What's the geekiest thing you've ever bought.
Please, a minute of silence for all the face masks veils with animal faces that I have used over the past few years. Bear, lion, dolphin... Almost the entire zoo, come on. I'm not hiding.
3. A hobby beauty in your routine.
As a person who likes to take good care of my hair - I have it very curly, dry and with highlights - and who is afraid of baldness, I cannot go to sleep without having had a massage on my hair. the scalp. It stimulates circulation for stronger and more resistant hair, I see more volume when I finish it (which is why I also do it before an important event) and, by the way, it relaxes a lot.
4. A product that you don't know what it is and you're embarrassed to ask.
To this day, I am still quite lost in the field of cleansing oils. It may be because the word 'oil', as a person with oily skin, causes me rejection (even using products that I know include oils in their formulations and work wonders for me). And then… is epigenetics the metaverse of skincare?
5. If you arrive home late, it is most likely:
Whether it's 12 at night or 6 in the morning, whether I've put on makeup or not, I can't get into bed without having cleaned my face at least. Of course, I reduce the steps to the basics: cleansing and moisturizing cream. The eye contour and serum can wait a few hours...
6. What product or trick fixes a bad day?
I have two: the flash Light Up facial mask by PSA, which I discovered thanks to Laconicum, which illuminates the face and It gives you a rested look in 5 minutes (although I leave it on as long as possible, especially on the weekend); and Shiseido's Color-Smart moisturizing cream with protection factor, which goes from white to skin color when applied (magic), blurs small imperfections and evens out the tone.
7. Your favorite scent and one you can't stand.
Although I am experimenting more and more with perfumes, mine are intense aromas, like oriental and woody ones. Slow Dance by BYREDO is one of my favorites, but I also love the barbershop smell of At The Barber's by Replica, the Maison Martin Margiela line. Excessively floral aromas cost me a lot more, although I admit that Rose Cherie and Santal Pao Rosa by Guerlain have surprised me a lot.
8. An infallible beauty trick.
Apply a little highlighter on the cupid's bow for slightly more plump lips with more dimension.
9. On a bad hair day, what do you do?
Bless the dry shampoo. You apply, massage and off you go! I don't delay washing much longer, though.
10. The last whim beauty that you have given yourself.
I have repurchased the Social Life Shampoo by Larry King, I love the way it smells and the way it leaves my hair. It doesn't cost two dollars, but it's worth it.
