Melisa Gün: The Art Of Making An Impact

Namita Nayyar:

Five foods you absolutely love and five you keep to a minimum.

Melisa Gün:

That’s a tricky one as it’s hard to say there’s something in particular. As I mentioned before, I love fresh fruit so you could say that its apples, grapes, pears – that sort of thing. When it comes to keeping things to a minimum, it’s definitely carbohydrates, which means I make sure I don’t eat a lot of bread or pastries, I’m also careful with sweets, even though sometimes it’s hard to resist, and I definitely try to avoid food that contains fats, just to be on a safe side.

You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Share with us your hair care and skincare routine.

Melisa Gün:

Enough sleep! In all seriousness, first thing to do is to find out your skin and your hair type, based on that you can find the products that are suitable for you. Make-up can hide your skin imperfections, but when you have to wear a lot of it several hours a day, it can also make things worse, so I clean my skin properly, moisturize it and look after it the best way I can. Same with the hair: I love my gorgeous locks, but when photo shoots and fashion shows I sometimes have to use a lot of hairspray and other styling products which can affect the health of my hair, which means I need to look after it and give it some rest when I can. And I always consult specialists if I have any questions.

Namita Nayyar:

Five skincare myths.

Melisa Gün:

Oh, there are so many it’s hard to choose just five! Some people still believe that hot water is good for your skin, or that tanning makes your skin better and healthier, or that you only need to wear sunscreen on sunny days or that moisturizes remove wrinkles or you only need to use them if you have dry skin. All those myths have been discussed at length and disproved, and yet you can still see articles on the subject.

Five athletic leisure brands you love to wear.

Melisa Gün:

I love Balmain Sport Collection as well as Adidas, Under Armour, LV and Polo. I love clothes that make me feel comfortable while looking stunning and noticeable.

Namita Nayyar:

Five travel destinations on your wish list.

Melisa Gün:

There are so many! I would love to see more of the US, I’ve travelled for work a lot, but it doesn’t mean I’ve seen everything. I also have a list of places I’ve never been to but think that’d be perfect for a holiday destination: Canada, perhaps New Zealand or Australia. I’d also like to visit the South America – I guess it’s easier to name the places I don’t want to go to at the moment!

Namita Nayyar:

During the Covid pandemic, tell us more about your fitness routine to remain fit in such challenging times?

Melisa Gün:

During the pandemic, I had a lot more time for myself than I usually do and there were moments when it was tempting to get lazier, but I knew it’d be over sooner or later and that I’d need to get back to work, so I made sure I stayed active and worked out regularly at home or running in the park. It was also beneficial for my mental health, because, and it was especially true in the first few months, I was doing something I knew, something familiar, and it really helped me get through those days and emerge optimistic and hopeful.
