Asya Soskova about favorite cosmetics and fragrances

IN RUBRIC "ON THE FACE" we study the contents of beauty cases, dressing tables and cosmetic bags of girls of interest to us - and show all this to you. The new issue is Asya Soskova, director of organizational development for Ketchum Maslov.

About the choice of cosmetics

When I need to find something new, I often read blogs, I especially like skromni-beauty.com. I don’t hide it, I often lead on branding and buy some things by chance, having heard something about the brand. For example, I liked the packaging, the names and slogans of Bliss so much that I ordered their peeling wipes on feelunique.com - I buy almost all of the cosmetics there or on trips - and now I’m not overjoyed.

More and more attention is paid to how environmentally friendly the funds are. It is important for me that cosmetics are not tested on animals and were as harmful to the environment as possible - I collect plastic packaging and hand over for recycling. I can’t say that I buy organics on purpose, but if I found something I like, and these are products without parabens and silicones, I’ll be happy to buy them.

About care

With age, I began to feel better about my skin and realized that there were no miracles from the series “put on a mask - I woke up a dozen years younger”. And that the enlarged pores will be clogged, no matter what you do, and they can only be disguised. Now there is still a need to fight not only with the unpleasant shine for me, but also with the signs of maturing skin, so I began to pay attention to the anti-aging rulers.

I have been using Kerastase hair products for many years now - perhaps something better has appeared over the years, but I am too lazy to choose. Sometimes, when shampoo and balm come to an end, I buy Dove products - they are able to maintain hair in the right condition for a while. I still remember the thermomilk and clay or wax for styling. Recently I tried powder for hair, but I haven’t understood it yet.

About decorative

I have a mandatory minimum, without which I do not manage: mascara, loose mineral powder, blush, lip gloss. I recently discovered Urban Decay pencils and lipsticks and are now looking for the right shades. It seems that when I first started using makeup, there were no lipsticks with such a pleasant texture (or I just did not have money for normal brands). I love scarlet lipstick - you can barely paint your eyes, but with red lips your face becomes very expressive - I often use this trick when I’m too lazy to dress up.

About Supplements

I recently refused meat and fish and began to carefully monitor that the body gets everything you need. I try to take a complex of vitamins and minerals for vegetarians, as well as try superfoods like goji berries and chia seeds and natural protein supplements with substances that are few in vegetable food. Purchased them in a recent trip to New York - there it costs a penny, and the choice is huge. And these things are easy to combine with any food.

About aromas

I gradually turn into a perfume maniac - I think it happens to everyone who discovered selective fragrances. Previously, I used the mass, and for a long time the same ones, and when I wanted to choose something new, I was lost and bought “as usual”. The story of the selections began with the Blood Concept, which I stumbled upon in a small shop in the Italian Alps. This is a very sharp, unusual, audacious aroma that I could not stop sniffing all evening and bought it the very next day. In the same store I was handed a sampler of the Craft Andrea Maack flavor, which has since been my signature scent, I have not met anyone else anywhere else, and with it I always collect an incredible amount of compliments. I also love everything that makes handsome perfumer Pierre Guilaume, all of his lines just a work of art. And some of Parfuimere Generale and Huitimie Art, although they have become quite popular, I still really love. So far my collection is quite small, but I will definitely replenish it, because I like the flavors because they are revealed in a very special way on different people.
