“In my life I put a minimum of cosmetics on my face – powder and lip gloss. As a child, my dad did not allow me to do makeup, except that I could secretly tint my hair with henna. So he had to paint his lips and nails in the entrance when he was not seeing. When my sister and I were in high school, every Sunday we gave it to dad by heart according to the chapter “Eugene Onegin”. Once I went to visit my father to tell another passage. Even then, they did not live with their mother. So I specifically went to that meeting with painted nails, nevertheless I was already 16. I was ready to parry my dad’s remark about my appearance with lines from Eugene Onegin: “You can be an efficient person and think about the beauty of nails” and beyond according to the text. But he didn’t even say a word about my nails. I probably realized that I was already an adult. I think nail care should be trusted by the master, so it’s calmer. She comes to my house once a week and does a manicure. Everything is as it should be: strengthening agents, good varnish. “
“When treating your face, it is important to wash your face thoroughly in the morning and in the evening. I do this with gel and tonic. Then I apply moisturizer and eye contour. I don’t use folk remedies like cucumbers. Now I take part in the TV project “Just the same!” I’m worried about how the makeup will affect my skin. True, the make-up artists assured me that there was no harm. Moreover, they said that these masks even contain glycerin. The only thing they advised was to buy a panthenol cream and apply it on the face after removing the makeup to soothe the skin. “
Force yourself to go to the gym
“As for keeping my body in good shape, I work out in the gym. I tried everything: group classes, yoga, swimming. But she made a choice in favor of simulators. I even learned to do push-ups. The most difficult thing is to force yourself to come to the gym and change. And then everything goes like clockwork. And at the end of the lesson, you feel a sense of pride. “
“I also really like relaxing massage accompanied by oriental music without words. Not to the classics: it does not allow me to relax, I begin to sing a melody in my thoughts, think about the notes. I have a wonderful salon next to my house. It is a pity that there is not always enough time for this. The last three sessions had to be canceled. I don’t like the wraps. I tried it once – wet, slippery, disgusting and, in my opinion, useless. “
Cook for your husband, not yourself
“At home, my exercise is cooking. The cook is mainly for guests and Volodya (Vladimir Presnyakov, Jr., the singer’s husband – Прим. Woman’s Day). He is my grateful eater. I try to limit myself. Still, the TV camera adds a few kilograms. I am often told that in life I am very thin. But I’ve never been fat. I love to eat delicious food, but sometimes I refuse sweet, mashed potatoes with a cutlet. And I try to fast every year. “
