As soon as I arrived in LA I had casting shoot which went very well! But I remember like it was yesterday how nervous I was. After a few days I got an email from the Guess office about to be a part of the runaway show for them in Florence which was a success. And basically after that Guess became my family. I was traveling with the team to all the events, runaway shows and we did shootings all over the world for 7 years. It was a dream comes true! I will be always thankful to Paul Marciano for such a life changing opportunity.

Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine you may wish to share?
Kseniya Belousova:
Being honest I used to work out a lot, but lately unfortunately I work out less. But I can say even if you take just 20 min a day for a workout it certainly helps to keep you in shape. My favorite work out is to ride a bike! I like cardio rather than lifting weights. Stretching after work out is also very important. My favorite blogger is Pamela Reif. I follow her work out videos on YouTube. May be in the future I will make my own! Keeping me in a good healthy shape is very important. It is my lifestyle.

Five skincare myths
Kseniya Belousova:
- Skincare can erase wrinkles completely. Reality: Skincare can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, but it cannot eliminate them entirely. Other treatments like retinoid or cosmetic procedures may be needed for significant improvements.
- Using multiple skincare products at once is more effective. Reality: Layering too many products can overload your skin and lead to irritation. Stick to a simple and consistent skincare routine tailored to your skin’s needs.
- Sunscreen is only necessary on sunny days. Reality: UV rays can still damage your skin on cloudy days or during winter. Wearing sunscreen daily, regardless of the weather, is crucial for protecting your skin from harmful UV radiation.
- Acne is caused by poor hygiene. Reality: Acne is a complex skin condition influenced by various factors, including hormones, genetics, and bacteria. While keeping your skin clean is essential, it’s not the sole cause of acne.
- Natural products are always better for your skin. Reality: While some natural ingredients can be beneficial, not all are suitable for every skin type. Many effective skincare products use both natural and synthetic ingredients to achieve the best results.
