Destiny reflected. While filming Star, “I took a loss when it came to my hair and the health of it,” due to the constant heat application. “I had to do a big chop after a certain point, to get back on track and get it to a healthier place. I didn’t appreciate my curls and how big my hair got until later on,” she said. Now, Destiny embraces the beauty in the versatility of her hair. “[I love] wigs and protective styles,” she said. “[I] just make sure to take care of the hair underneath. In the midst of all she has going on, Destiny holds to one important lesson in self-confidence: In whatever you’re pursuing or going through, she said, “you’re going to need patience with yourself. Don’t let time rush you. Trust the process and trust yourself. We compare ourselves a lot in this social media age. But your journey is yours.” The most lavish and recent addition to her pared-back beauty routine has been courtesy of Mimi Luzon, an aesthetician to the stars who is known for her 24-karat gold masks that give the skin a Midas-like glow. Shayk has collaborated with Luzon for a version of the mask specially for the lips, made of, yes, 24-karat gold. The two had met a few years ago when Shayk had a bad allergic reaction at a festival and her friend recommended she go to Luzon for treatment. Slowly, the two became friends. Shayk had long gravitated toward Luzon’s lip kits as a cure for her often dry lips. Eventually, she collaborated with Luzon. “Mimi was like, ‘You’re obsessed with lip stuff. Let’s create something together.’ That’s how the idea was born, a 24-karat gold leaf treatment for your lips that leaves them moisturized. The road to such a luxury treatment has been a long time in the making for Shayk, who would use an array of oddball creams and oils on her face when she resided in the small southwestern town of Yemanzhelinsk, Russia. “I didn’t start to use creams and stuff until I was like 19 or 20 and I started to work as a model. Before, we didn’t really have access to the creams and stuff. We’d use stuff from the refrigerators, like a cucumber mask for moisturizing or something,” she says. “I remember my mother was cooking with coconut oil and putting it on her skin as well. She was using whatever she was cooking with.”
