Supermodel Romee Strijd Shares What Products Exactly Needs To Really Glow

Medicine cabinet snapshot:

Estée Lauder, L’Oréal, Biotherm, and Moroccanoil.

Good skin starts with:

Hydrating your skin and yourself is the best thing you can do. I play around with products, but lately I have been washing my face at night, massaging a couple of drops of Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum on my face and neck. I feel like it helps a lot for dryness and dehydration.

Best advice from your dermatologist:

To be honest, I don’t have a dermatologist. I’m lucky that I have good genes, but I think a dermatologist in New York City, especially, would say wash your face and cleanse it.

Best advice from your facialist:

Always use SPF. Sun is definitely not the best thing for your skin. For the face, I use Clarins Sunscreen Multi-Protection Broad Spectrum because it’s superlight and dries matte. For the body, I use Clarins Sunscreen Care Oil Spray SPF 30 and Moroccanoil After Sun Milk.

Makeup miracles:

So many! Biotherm Aquasource Hydrating Gel, Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Cream, Charlotte Tilbury Instant Magic Facial Dry Sheet Mask, L’Oréal Paris Volume Million Lashes Feline Mascara, Giorgio Armani Maestro Glow Fusion Makeup Foundation—I use the 6.5 shade—and Benefit Cosmetics 3D BROWtones Instant Color Highlights in number 2 eyebrow gel. With bronzers I switch between Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Powder Bronzer and Chanel’s Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronzing Makeup Base, and Sheer Illuminating Fluid to bronze and highlight.

Most underrated product:

A good hydrating gel or cream when you wake up. Biotherm Aquasource Hydrating Gel is the one I love now; it feels really refreshing and superhydrating. I also like the Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Cream.

Never leave the house without:

I always think less is more, especially since we’re wearing already so much makeup at work, but I do love a good bronzer and a good brow. I start with a moisturizer; I’m now trying Dior Hydra Life Fresh Sorbet Crème. And if it’s sunny, I also use SPF. I give myself a little bronze with Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Powder Bronzer or Chanel’s Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronzing Makeup Base and Sheer Illuminating Fluid to bronze and highlight. I’ll curl my lashes and use mascara on top, but never on the bottom; the mascara I use now is L’Oréal Paris’s Volume Million Lashes Feline Mascara. Lastly, I give myself a good brow with the Benefit Cosmetics 3D BROWtones Instant Color Highlights in number 2 eyebrow gel.

A good hair day starts with:

A good wash with Pantene Pro‑V Daily Moisture Renewal Shampoo. I blow-dry my hair upside down, and then I put Kérastase Paris Aura Botanica Concentré Essentiel on the ends of my hair because it gets dry from all the blowing out. I like to use Oribe Swept Up Volume Powder Spray in my roots.

Nails must be:

Clean. I love a clean nail. I use China Glaze natural color with hardener in it.

The Victoria’s Secret Bombshell Seduction Eau de Parfum is perfect for spring and summer. It’s airy and refreshing with floral notes!

Beauty from the inside out:

I genuinely believe that the better you eat, the better you look!

Exercise obsession:

I love to switch it up. A mix of weight training to make me feel strong, a lot of walking to make me feel good, and pilates to stretch when I feel too sore after weight training. I also love wearing workout pants and sport bras from Victoria Sport because they are comfortable and you can wear them for any type of exercise.

Product that you picked up from the pros:

LUST: MatteTrance Trios Skin Show Colour from Pat McGrath Labs. I’m obsessed with everything!

Spa-cation at:

I like staying at the 1 Hotel in Miami. It has a great spa at the beach, the best gym, amazing restaurants, pretty rooms, and it is not too far from New York. I like the easy flight.

TSA-friendly essentials:

My travel kit has a small Bioderma makeup remover, a small Embryolisse Concentrated Lait Cream, eye drops, and a Dr. Jart+ Hydrating Mask.

In-tub must-read:

I’m reading Into the Water by Paula Hawkins.

Best advice from mom:

My mom is a hairdresser, so she always tells me to take care of my hair and treat it well. I do put Kérastase Paris Aura Botanica Concentré Essentiel on the ends of my hair and like to use Oribe Swept Up Volume powder spray for my roots.

Best-kept beauty secret:

The most pretty thing a woman can wear is a smile, which is even better when her skin is moisturized.
