From how to remove acne scars to the best eye cream for men, from hair serums to make you look like Jared Leto, to using niacinamide. David López It is a real beauty freakHe never skips a trend, but he doesn't let them carry him aimlessly. He leads the way by writing in GQ about what really matters: good hair, a good serum, an eye contour that works. Beauty that works. He does this because he's a taster; he tests and applies before recommending. And since we can't delve into his cosmetics wardrobe or hire him as a guru, We suggest you read it in GQ onlineAnd here, of course, where we have put him through a test to learn all about his routine and his whims. beauty.
1. Your favorite Laconicum product.
At the beginning of 2021, I asked for Kings' Day Lumilixir serum Mabel+Meg's hyaluronic acid and vitamin C product. Since then, I've been unable to stop using this product (I'm about to start my fourth bottle!). All the wonderful things I'd heard about it seem unrealistic. Since I've been using it, my skin feels juicier, but without a greasy feeling (very important for me, as someone with oily skin who isn't a 100% fan of the completely matte effect), and I even have fewer acne breakouts. I've tried other alternatives that have done more or less the job for me, but Lumilixir is the one I always come back to and recommend.
2. What is the geekiest thing you have bought?
Please, a minute of silence for all the face masks veil with animal faces that I've used over the past few years. Bear, lion, dolphin... Pretty much the whole zoo, in other words. I'm not hiding it.
3. A mania beauty in your routine.
As a person who likes to take good care of her hair - I have very curly, dry hair with highlights - and who is afraid of going bald, I can't go to sleep without having done a scalp massageIt stimulates circulation for stronger, more resilient hair. I see more volume afterward (which is why I also do it before an important event), and, by the way, it's very relaxing.
4. A product that you don't know what it is and are embarrassed to ask about.
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, makes me repulsed (even though I use 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, you will 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 the face at leastOf course, I reduce the steps to the basics: cleansing and moisturizer. The eye cream and serum can wait a few hours...
6. What product or trick fixes a bad day?
I have two: the face mask flash Light Up by PSA, which I discovered thanks to Laconicum, which brightens the face and gives it a rested look in 5 minutes (although I leave it on as long as possible, especially on weekends); and Shiseido's Color-Smart moisturizer with SPF, which turns from white to skin tone upon application (magic), blurring small imperfections and evening out skin tone.
8. A trick beauty infallible.
Apply a little bit of illuminator on Cupid's bow for lips that are a little more striking and with more dimension.
9. On a bad hair day, what do you do?
Blessed be the dry shampoo. You apply, massage, and off you go! I won'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 KingI love the way it smells and how it leaves my hair. It doesn't cost a dime, but it's worth it.
