You may recognise starlet Camila Mendes from cult-show Riverdale (her first foray in the limelight) or from the many Netflix hit movies The Perfect Date, Do Revenge, and most-recently Upgraded, but it’s her latest venture that has our interest piqued. A red-carpet regular Mendes has long been revered for her strong brows, tousled locks and perfected skin, the latter which can be attributed to new cool-girl skincare brand LOOPS. Mendes has recently joined as the Creative Director for the brand, which sees her further cementing a skincare-first beauty ethos. Speaking with marie claire Australia, Camila shares her tips for a dewy complexion and event-worthy hair.
Camila Mendes’ Beauty Routine & Advice
I swear by… Skin Cycling Our Loops version involves alternating face masks three times a week. Start with the Clean Slate mask to detoxify, then Hyper Smooth a few days later to help lift away dead skin cells, and finish the week with Dream Sleep, which will deeply hydrate and [support] your natural skin barrier. Repeat that process for a few weeks and you’ll definitely see results.
A hair game changer has been… using a leave-in hair mask after showering. The K18 Leave-in Molecular Repair Hair Mask works really well in repairing the damage my hair has endured from colour treatments. I’m not big on hair masks that require you to rinse them out because they take longer and I already spend way too much time in the shower. So this mask is ideal for my hair and schedule.
On the day of an event… I like to prime skin with the LOOPS double take face mask for maximum glow. My favourite tip is to use the loops dream sleep mask the night before. You’ll wake up the next day with such gorgeous, balmy skin that you won’t even want to cleanse your face.
I love… the ’90s. It’s where I get most of my beauty inspo, mainly because of how minimal and effortlessly chic that time was.
My beauty cupboard is… pretty organised and minimal. I don’t like having an excess supply of beauty products. Loops masks are obviously the exception – I’m always stocked up on those.
My desert island picks are… the Renee Rouleau Weightless Protection Sunscreen SPF 30, KD Skincare Acne Treatment Pads and the Loops Dream Sleep Mask.
I take beauty advice from… my sister, Viviane, she’s one of the smartest people I know. She does all the skincare research that most people (myself included) are too lazy to do and can tell me which products are actually as effective as they claim to be.
I feel most beautiful… when I’m prioritising my health, sleeping enough, eating well and exercising often. When I get into a good groove with my routine, that’s when I’m most confident.
