Diet and Exercise 

Balanced Lifestyle

As much as she keeps her body in check with exercise and eating healthy, it’s important for her to keep her mind stimulated and refreshed as well. This goes to show that Anok, as countless other Models are conscious of the fact that inner beauty shows on the outside as well.

The Importance of Staying Hydrated

Every night she try to chug a glass of water. According to Anok: “You gotta make the inside popping if you want he outside to be popping.”

Anok’s Step by Step Skincare Routine

  • Serum: 5 drops of Pholretin C serum every morning.
  • Face Massagers: She keeps them in the refrigerator every morning. She uses them to help with drainage and depuffing.
  • SPF 50: It has helped Anok a lot with hyperpigmentation. She wears sunscreen every day.
  • Eye Drops: The last thing she uses before applying makeup are hydrating eye drops.
  • No Brushes: She actually doesn’t like to use brushes to apply foundation. She prefers using her hands.
  • African Black Soap: She had a lot of acne when she was younger, so she got African Black Soap, and it cleared her face.
  • Water: She says she doesn’t want to be the person who says “water solves all of your problems,” but water actually solved all the problems her skin gave her. An honorable mention is exfoliating. (She uses filtered or bottled water to wash her face, especially when traveling.)

Morning Skincare Routine

The first thing she does in the morning is exfoliate. She exfoliates her face almost every day with exfoliating gloves. She gets her gloves from The Dollar Tree; accordning to Anok they are the best and super affordable.

Night Routine

Before bed, she wipes all her makeup off with makeup remover.

Then she washes her face with whatever bar soap is in her bathroom.

After that, she applies a face mask. She has about seven to ten different face masks, so she randomly switches between them depending on how her skin is feeling that day. She also makes sure to apply the serum from the mask onto her neck.

Once she is done with the mask, she uses a night repair eye concentrate, which really hydrates the skin around her eyes.

Finally, she rubs castor oil into her eyebrows and Vaseline on her eyelashes to stimulate their growth.

Makeup Routine

Lipgloss is More Fun

She is a lip-gloss kind of girl but when she does wear lipstick it’s either black or Ester Lauder’s Pure Color Envy Smash Up, which looks great on dark skin.

On Set Hack

A good beauty trick she has learned is to tight line your eyes. It gives your lashes a thicker, fuller appearance.

A Night Out 

When she goes out she always does the most! Sometimes she changes her eye shadow or eyeliner up depending on her outfit but she always does matte skin with a dewy contour, long lashes, a brow and blinding highlight.
