Model Ellie Goldstein shares her go-to beauty routine, as well as her lessons in authenticity.
Ellie Goldstein’s Guide to Clear Skin and Confidence
Since starring in a campaign for Gucci Beauty in partnership with Vogue Italia last year, British model Ellie Goldstein has become an exemplar of come-as-you-are confidence. Diagnosed with Down syndrome at birth, Goldstein—who is signed with Zebedee Management—was tapped for her authenticity. Since then, the model has continued to espouse her commitment to confidence and beauty of all kinds. “I love taking care of my skin on my face because I love to look wonderful and beautiful all the day,” says Goldstein, who begins her routine with a dose of vitamin D to boost immunity.
Next, a trusted cleanser and toner ensure her visage is clean as can be, as well as ready to absorb a round of moisturizers, including Weleda Skin Food Light. “It’s very cold at the moment, so I have to moisturize my face because I get dry skin a lot of the time,” says Goldstein, who layers on Avon’s Distillery Sleep Potion Night Cream for extra hydration. “I moisturize my face every day and every night.” Touches of The Body Shop’s Mango Body Yogurt and Hand Cream ensure that skin is both smooth and scented, while a spritz of hair oil keeps Goldstein’s long brunette locks—which she allows her mother to cut on occasion—glossy and tamed. A pull of a brow pencil and a swipe of pink lipstick offer a subtle wash of day-ready glamour, but Goldstein’s ultimate beauty tool is her unwavering self-assuredness. “Be confident, never give up, and be yourself, no matter who you are—just be yourself,” says Goldstein. “Be perfect, in yourself.”
