If you’ve ever browsed pictures of models and wondered about the secret to their seemingly flawless skin or perfectly proportioned features, here’s what you should know: it’s not all genetics or Photoshop work. Instead, the secret to their stunning features is their commitment to regular beauty maintenance. Let’s take a closer look at some essential beauty treatments that have long been non-negotiables for models and you might consider adding them to your routine as well.
Eyebrow Threading
Your eyebrows frame your face, and if they’re defined and groomed, all your features will fall more in line. Eyebrow threading is a simple way to achieve that polished look, as it makes the skin around your eyes appear lifted and your face look more defined.
A big advantage of threading is that it’s much gentler than waxing, which is especially important if you’re doing professional shoots on a regular basis. Chemical irritation is not really an issue with threading, which is why professional models prefer it when they have to face the camera.
The average cost of eyebrow threading is not exorbitant either, coming in between $15 and $20, give or take a few bucks, depending on whether you’re visiting a threading bar or a regular salon. Also, upscale salons may cost you a bit more, usually between $25 and $40.
To get the best results, you should take threading as an ongoing commitment instead of a one-time fix. Most professionals recommend coming back every three to four weeks to achieve and maintain your desired shape.
Professional Facials
If eyebrow threading is all about structure, a professional facial is all about radiance. Models have glowing skin in every picture not just because they use the right skincare products at home, but also because they have regular facials.
If you’re looking for skin that’s camera ready and glowing, you can’t just achieve it with an at-home skincare routine. The reason is that professional facials deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate your skin all at once.
When scheduling an appointment for a professional facial, be prepared to spend about 60 minutes in treatment. Typically, your session may involve skin cleansing, exfoliation, extractions (if necessary), a treatment mask, and moisturizing. To get the best results, you may have to schedule your facials on a regular four- to six-week cycle, which is what most models do.
Lash Tinting and Lamination
The last treatment that models swear by is eyelash tinting and lamination, often done together. Eyelash tinting makes your lashes darker, and lamination positions them in a way that they stay curved upward for several weeks. This seemingly simple treatment can make all the difference to how your face appears in professional photographs.
When going for this lash treatment, expect it to last about 45 to 60 minutes. During the session, you have to lie down on your back, with a lifting solution applied to your eyelashes. After this process is done, your eyelashes are tinted with semi-permanent dye. Ideally, you should do this every six to eight weeks for the best results.
Endnote
The models you admire aren’t keeping secrets; it’s only that they have strategies about how to maintain their good looks. The good thing is that you can do it too because all these routines don’t require you to break the bank. All you have to do is choose one treatment option that appeals to you most, stick to it for a short while, and see how it changes not only your pictures but also your perception about your face.
