The woman of the hour? Undoubtedly Kylie Jenner. After her jaw dropping runway debut at The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on Sunday, the internet has been sent into a spin. Social media feeds are awash with clips capturing Jenner make history while donning the most expensive iteration of the brand's iconic Fantasy Bra, worth a cool $50 million, as well as the reactions of the onlooking crowd, which included boyfriend Timothée Chalamet who clapped and cheered from the FROW.
Another big topic of conversation? Jenner's show stopping beauty look, which counted Kylie Cosmetics staples (obviously) like the Skin Tint Blurring Elixir Foundation, £28, an unmistakably VS-coded bouncy bombshell blowout, and apearlescent powder pink manicure. Radiant, flawless and glowing from top-to-toe, there's no denying Jenner set the runway alight, but how did the latest angel to earn her wings prep her skin for the show?
While there is no denying Jenner will have relied on a bank of professionals and treatments to get runway-ready, her daily skin maintenance came byway of something far cheaper and more accessible. Just before her big VS reveal, Jenner had taken to Instagram to post an evening 'get ready with me' video where she walked through her bedtime skincare routine, which she has now been simplified after a bout of bad skin.
It starts with Pond's iconic and multi-tasing Cold Cream Make-Up Remover, £13.65, and concludes with Dieux Skin's Air Angel Peptide Plumping Gel Cream, £26, which seems a fitting choice. Having stripped her skincare routine to the basics, which is exactly what any good dermatologist worth their salt would advise, her routine counts only one active treatment, Celimax's The Vita A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster, £14.48.
After cleansing, Jenner explains, 'I just started using a retinol. I told myself I would start this year. This one has been my favourite,' while holding the Celimax tube in hand. 'I'm starting around my eyes because I'm really sensitive to retinol and honestly that is where I see my little fine lines, so we're just trying to reduce and honestly I have seen a difference.'
We're not surprised Jenner counts it among her skincare favourites. The Korean skincare treatment is well-loved by a slew of internet beauty buffs and is currently ranked Amazon UK's number one bestselling face night care serum, with one selling every two seconds worldwide. Why? It boasts 0.1% nano-retinal, a concentrated dose of vitamin A (retinaldehyde) which allows for quicker, controlled skin penetration while reducing surface irritation to address texture, lines and pores. A-Shot™ micro-spicules are also included in the mix to gently stimulate the skin and support ingredient absorption, while low-molecular weight peptides tend to the appearance of pores and hydration, which helps to swerve the possible irritating effects of using retinoids.
The result? Smoother, glossy, and more radiant skin. No wonder it's Jenner's secret skincare weapon.
