The Sensational Cara Delevingne Spills The Beans On Her Skincare And Fitness Regimes
Chosen as the new face of Dior’s Capture Youth line, she gives us a lesson on expertly balancing work and life.
Having started her career at the tender age of 10, Cara Delevingne is no stranger to paparazzi attention. The actor and model was formally signed by an agency in 2009 and has since walked the runway and starred in campaigns for some of the biggest names in the fashion and beauty business. Her latest venture, Dior’s Capture Youth campaign, has predictably drawn a lot of eyeballs but it is something Delevingne takes in her stride. In a bare-all interview, the actor and model reveals her skincare secrets, her coveted diet and fitness regime, and being a Dior woman.
How do your views and approach to beauty align with Dior’s?
I love this quote from Christian Dior: “I dream of making women not only more beautiful, but happier too.” It is such a great message. To be part of the Dior family feels totally organic and, you know, we share the same initials! So, I recognise a Dior girl when I see my initials on her. Joining an elite group of women such as Natalie Portman, Jennifer Lawrence, Charlize Theron, and Rihanna is such an honour. I am proud to be included amongst powerful women who make bold artistic decisions.
Do you have any female role models in the movie industry or in general?
I look up to strong women who are not afraid to make bold choices. Tilda Swinton, Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Thompson, Reese Witherspoon, Natalie Portman, Angelina Jolie, and Meryl Streep are all girl heroes of mine.
If you had to pick three words to describe your personality, what would they be?
I am passionate, determined, and open-minded.
Do you have a special diet or do you practise a particular sport to keep so fit?
My diet consists of a lot of salmon and vegetables. I also love a traditional English breakfast. I practise a lot of yoga as I feel it is a great constant for me no matter what country I’m in.
Is there a beauty regime you follow religiously?
Most of my beauty routine is determined by what kind of work I’m doing that day. If I’m on set, then my daily beauty routine usually focusses on cleansing and moisturising as I have to wear a lot of makeup on set. If I’m on a press tour, most of my beauty regime is taken care of by my wonderful glam team as we work from morning to evening. On a day off, my beauty regime is very minimal but still important. Since I’m on planes so often, I’m always thinking about how to keep my skin hydrated.
You have a very busy schedule. Is there a movie you love watching while travelling?
Because I am constantly travelling, I love to watch a lot of TV and movies that I can find on the platform.
What makes a woman young? Is it makeup, attitude, style, or something else altogether?
Classifying a woman as “young” is all about her energy. Age is just a number. I would definitely say that I try to live every day in the moment.
What advice would you give young women to feel good about themselves?
I believe that beauty comes from within. So, I would advise young women to take care of their mind and their heart as much as they take care of their face and skin.
How would you describe a perfect day?
My kind of perfect day would be in London with my friends and family beside me. I feel the most beautiful when I’m surrounded by people I love.
Tell us about the campaign.
Capture Youth is made for girls of my age. When you start to think about skincare in the long term, Capture Youth is perfect as it stops the signs of ageing before they appear. My tip is to mix the cream with one of the five serums depending on your everyday needs. I especially like the Glow Booster.
