After waking up, Irina first wipes her face with an ice cube to refresh the skin after sleep. The model borrowed this habit from her mother. Also in the morning, the model applies moisturizing cream. In the first half of the day she prefers not to wear makeup, and in summer she never uses thick products.

Lip balm is a must in Shayk’s purse. And to cleanse her skin at the end of the day, she applies a collagen mask, after which she uses a moisturizer.

In addition, the celebrity is practicing facebuilding. With the help of simple exercises you can maintain the elasticity of the skin, smooth wrinkles and tighten the contour of the face. “To keep the oval of the face clear, I do special exercises, for example, inflate the cheeks, and then forcefully blow the air out of one side of the mouth and then the other,” says the model.

Negative emotions have a bad effect not only on the internal, but also on the external state. “All our worries are instantly reflected in our posture,” she says. Meditation and meetings with friends help Irina to fight stress and fatigue. Once a week in New York Irina Shayk goes to a Russian bath – this habit also helps to get rid of negative emotions.
