About working as a model
I have unusual parameters for the profession: growth does not reach one hundred and seventy and I started modeling at that age, which many agencies already consider "retirement". But for me it was not a barrier, but a challenge. I love work very much and chose it consciously, having graduated from the university and having had time to try myself in other excellent professions that simply did not go. I realized that on the set I get maximum pleasure from the process and almost always enjoy the results. In addition, I always wanted to do something performative, related to the body, to talk through plastic.
Of course, there are some minuses: I have very lively facial expressions, I often laugh and make faces during filming or rehearsals, my neck and face muscles get tired of it. Therefore, almost always there is a massager on hand - well, or fingers. I even have such a ritual of "dumping" on the set: if we remove not fashion, but art or tests, where makeup is required minimum or it is not needed at all, I take my face in my hands and feel it calmly, as if trying to feel it shape, temperature - it is a great stress reliever. Since they take off and paint me a lot, in everyday life I almost do not use make-up, my maximum is tint on cheeks, nose bridge and lips over CC-cream. Occasionally wear bright lipstick. But most of the time I do not do makeup at all. In my arsenal - patches, serum, moisturizing or nourishing cream. On the casting I go "without everything," I give my face a rest.
About careful care and bath
I grew up on the sea, and I took all the rituals of beauty and health from my grandmother and grandfather, with whom I lived in Taganrog. My grandmother always had a whole arsenal of cans with scrubs and moisturizers for almost every bulge on the body. I stopped using scrubs after reading the book “Beauty Myths”, and almost immediately noticed how it affected my skin: it became less capricious for temperature changes and ingrown hairs, I completely forgot. Otherwise, everything is like a favorite granny: this cream for the elbow, this one - for the nasolabial cavity. Although there are times when I use almost nothing, and banks collect dust and wait in the wings. These are usually periods of intense training in the pool, when one tool replaces the other four, or the first week after the bath day.
I adore the bathhouse, I feel after her like Ivan from the fairy tale about the Humpbacked Horse. Three boiling and chilling cauldrons - and you are fresh, beautiful and ready to perform any tasks. I consistently taught myself to this ritual: earlier I had difficulty tolerating temperature drops, but at some particularly difficult moment in the long Moscow winter I decided to conduct an experiment on myself. The experiment was justified, after the bath it really became much easier to wake up in the morning, the body was freed from the usual "frost" clamps, and now I'm freezing much less.
From my grandfather, I inherited a passion for collecting massagers. He is a distinguished gymnast and Zen Buddhist. The only one who could wake me up at five in the morning to bathe my face with the hard side of a sponge (maybe that's why I had no skin problems during puberty), and arrange an early jog to the city beach. From him I know that any, even the most undesired physical activity at some point begins to bring pleasure and joy. When you get used to the cold sea water and can no longer climb to the shore, prolonging the pleasure. Or when you walk from the beach already walking step and collect cherries from the trees, and spit out the bones on the asphalt, squinting from the bright sunlight.
About drama
The coolest of habits I recently acquired is to dump the inner heat of passion. It seems to me that in my entire life I have experienced three or four puberty periods and could easily have won the world title of drama queen. Most recently, I realized that the drama also has its own laws (although it would seem that everyone in school went through this), that the theory was given to use it in practice, and everything needs moderation and balance.
Now I watch myself very carefully, and when the idea of a situation in my head threatens to swell out of tee rex with the size of a tiny mollusk, I go two steps away and look at myself from the outside, watch what and how I say the words, what thoughts go through my head and how comfortable this posture is for me. Then calmly adjust everything that does not suit me, and come back to life. So far this has not become a full-fledged habit — rather, it is a practice to which I often turn, and it is thanks to her that I can come into harmony with myself.
